I have a motor that currently has an arbor and a 4 inch buffing wheel on
it - the motor is on a cast iron stand which houses a rheostat with a
sliding lever - it is pretty old - looks like it's easily pre WWII - the
motor says DUMORE type KB on it - screwed to the top of the motor is a
chrome plated bracket with a vertical hole through it.

I am deeply suspicious that this was not originally a buffing machine - for
one thing the vertical hole in the bracket makes no sense - I'm imagining
that it might have been a flexible shaft grinder/tool like a foredom type
tool but my attempts to search for DUMORE type KB have turned up nothing -
so I turn to this agust body where someone is likely to have a hint or a
pointer to what it really is.

I can take a photo and put it in the drop box if that would be helpful - but
the thing is pretty unpretentions - the motor is a brush motor, a bit larger
than a sewing machine motor, everything is painted black (the old shiny
black, not wrinkle) and the Dumore label is aluminum with the numbers
stamped into it - and there is some gold color in the DUMORE logo.

any ideas? links?
