Picked this one up in Arizona. Brown & Sharpe No. 2 Surface Grinder. Serial number 9803. What's the approximate age? From reading other threads on various fora I know it's pretty far before WW2 and quite a ways after WW1.

Upon lifting the table off I was amazed at the condition of the ways, there's flaking/frosting the full length so that shouldn't need any attention beyond cleaning off the old dry oil and a bit of work with deep creep and steel wool to remove the little bit of light rust. Before it got put away who knows how many years ago it must have been drenched in oil.
Is there a site with a manual to download?
