Glad you could join us.  I have a dozen or more hand crank grinders that clamp to the bench, half have no name, stamps or even numbers.    Miester sounds rather Germanic, so is it white metal, or steel?   How large is the stone, does it have oil cups or just holes?   These are fun to use, teaches coordination.   I just picked up one that has an eight inch stone,  easy to throw sparks when grinding.

Pictures also help if you are able.
