I'm in the process of restoring my Diamond Machine Co. Universal #2 grinder. I was cleaning the table traverse rack when I came across the stamping shown in the photo.

IIRC, The 1868 Catalog included in "The Brown & Sharpe Collection" includes advertising for "machine racks." Possibly the later catalogs.
Brown & Sharpe did do a lot of "contract work" for other producers - and Willcox & Gibbs (sewing machines) were products which were almost entirely produced by Brown & Sharpe for others. The Brown & Sharpe relationship with Victor Sewing Machine has been noted.

That’s pretty cool!
Makes total sense to contract cutting the rack out and who better at the time to do than B & S.

That's a fine restoration tool shown in the lower RH corner of your first photograph.
Seriously, though, that looks nice a nice job you've done.

I thought that was for employee encouragement...
