I own two of those PLANK eccentric presses, one detailled and one basic variation w/o oilers and a simple die tool...

Nice addition to your colorful workshop!

The tin grinder is model #401/2

and the cast pewter grinder is model #402,

[attachimg=2]

both shown in the 1925 catalog.

Last Easter weekend I just restored the follower of both, a cast composite pewter grinder with tin metal hood and water cup
As this one is a rare hybrid between the early pewter and late cast iron models, I unfortunately have no pic or model # of it...

At the right side in the pic you see grinder #1006 of 1903-12, the left side shows eccentric press #1008 of 1906-15 and polisher #404 of 1910s-20s

   I just added an antique grinder station to my little machine shop . I think they are both Ernst Plank pieces , so they must date back to the 1930's . Here are some pictures .
