I have a hand cranked grinder with a tag on it that says meister. It has a wooden handle. Its red and i cant find any info on it. Any help would be great. Its a small grinder. Can be clamped.in a bench.

Glad you could join us.  I have a dozen or more hand crank grinders that clamp to the bench, half have no name, stamps or even numbers.    Miester sounds rather Germanic, so is it white metal, or steel?   How large is the stone, does it have oil cups or just holes?   These are fun to use, teaches coordination.   I just picked up one that has an eight inch stone,  easy to throw sparks when grinding.
