I recently bought this machine, and took delivery this week. It's from 1954, serial# 4U2B5B-39, model ER.
I had been looking hard at three cylindrical type grinders. One of which was a Norton 10x20. I began asking questions about it in the "abrasive machining" category of these forums, resurrecting this old thread:

I missed out on the Norton, so took a shot on the Cincinnati 10 x 24. You know, sometimes things work out for the best. I got a nice deal on the machine and shipping combined. I received this machine a few days ago and I couldn't be happier. Just walking around it, you can see the thought and detail into it, as well as the craftsmanship from a period where quality and detail meant something.
