What brand is this surface grinder?

For sale locally. I would like to research it but I don't recognize it. Any help appreciated.

It looks very similar to a Dronsfield Eagle. See www.lathes.uk

Yes I had a look there and it is similar, but the base is a bit different. Can't get a reply from the seller.

Thanks for the reply

That's a Gallmeyer & Livingston model number 15 that was made in Grand Rapids Michigan. I had one just like it. Unfortunately they closed several years ago.
one on ebay.

Thanks Richard. I assume that if you had one it must have been half decent. Noy much info on these on the web.

It was small and real handy and ground OK...nothing super precision and no coolant on ours. Just used to to grind small stuff for clean up before we scraped it. The 3 phase spindle had a lot of power.

Any idea what it might weigh? Is it going into my honda?

600 to 800 pounds I would think. I have a book some place....can look for it tomorrow.
