David,
I think these might actually be Stamco brand. One of my uncles had a
machine that used a disk that looked like this but unfortunately he
can't remember any of the details. This was back in the mid- to
late-70's, I think and he only had it for a short time as I recall. If
one of us remembers anything more I'll post additional info.
Regards, Brian.
