I found this "Grip-Guard" in an antique shop in North east Ohio. I have never seen one before or unable to find anything out on-line about this tool or the company that manufactured it.
it is made of aluminum and has little adjustable teeth on the bottom to grip the wood. About 12" long.
Anyone ever see one before and know what year it could have been manufactured?
It was made by "The Safety Research Corp" 811 E. State Street. Sharon Penna.

The literature looks to be vintage 1950's or 1960's and is similar to the Wagner Safe-T-Planer literature. Might be a handy push stick.

I was going to guess 50's or 60's. It was only $8 so I picked it up. What makes it unusual is I can not find anything on this tool or the company that made it. You can almost always find something on e-bay or a patent search etc...
