has anyone seen this before? there's no date, but judging by the patent date it's from pre/midcentury era (40s/50s the brand went all the way up to 2000 something it was renewed sometime in the 80s and was killed in the early aughts)
it'd be nice to see older brands like this that aren't made by the main brands

now this is one of your old beefy bone mill machines from that era.. any doubt about it being a semi commercial unit flies out the window

I am not sure-Believe Eureka-Williams was building disposers and vacuum cleaners.If someone else knows this better they can confirm.

According to an article on Funding Universe, Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Co. merged with the Williams Oil-O-Matic Heating Corp. in 1945, to become Eureka- Williams Co. They introduced the Dispos-O-Matic garbage disposer in 1947. The company was bought by Henney Motor Co. in 1953, and then sold to National Union Electric Co. in 1959. Electrolux became owner in 1974. How long they produced the disposer is unknown.

All Disposers Would Easily Gring Poltry Bones Etc

It wasn't till GE brought their cheap Hi-Speed Disposalls and other companies like the current cheap Chinese Moen units was it a bad idea [ and slightly dangerous ] to grind bones and corn cobs etc.
