I have an Azor bench grinder. My grandfathers neighbor gave it to him and my grandfather passed it on to my father. It has been in my possession for the past 10 years. I actually use it regularly in my home workshop.
I have attempted to research it for countless hours on the internet. I have also called multiple antique stores around the country. I have always come up empty, which boggles my mind as a person can find almost anything on the internet with enough due diligence. I have looked it up time to time to see if anyone else has posted anything. and recently I have had some luck. Recently there have found some links connecting the Azor company to other patents and have found some company history.
So here is what I know so far:
It was made by the Azor motor Manufacturing company
Company was located in Cleveland, Ohio in Cuyohoga county
Azor Motor filed as a corporation for profit on 12/27/1921
it appears that the company dissolved officially in 1927
Company was formerly called H.O.F Motor Manufacturing Company
It is approximately 90 years old
So, anyone out there ever heard of this thing? any idea of value?
if not for this specific product, maybe a generalized value for an electric motor from this era?
I believe it to be very rare as I have never been able to find anyone who has ever heard of it or the company that made it.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!
