Blue-Point Abrasive Disc Trimmer A-88

[BuffaloBob]

I have this tool, Blue-Point Abrasive Disc Trimmer A-88 which is a cast iron, hand cranked disc trimmer. Selectable disc diameters from 4" through 8". The cutter is similar to a tubing cutter with a roller and sharp edged round blade. I will get pics as soon as my computer is upgraded this week.

No luck searching. No patent numbers or dates. Stamped "A-88-2" on top and underside.

Any ideas when it was made?

Rectangular alum label with blue ink:

Anyone out there familiar with this oldie but goodie? I can post photos at your request.
Thank you kindly.
