Default mistery bench grinder

I just bought an old and heavy duty looking grinder. It's probably 50 y.o., very heavy
and runs pretty smooth. Arbor is relatively small - 1/2"
It's is so much better than a cheap POS grinder I got from Costco!

There is no any brand name or spec plate on this old baby.
Is there any key features to help estimate RPM and HP on this grinder?
I can post a picture if it'll help.

Thanks!

Color? Shape of motor end bells? Type of rests in front of the wheels?
Pic would really help. But not here. Got a picture site online? Try
Webshots or Epson photo gallery

It's a single phase 110v grinder.
Arbor has a short keyway on it.
