Meat Grinder Questions

Hi, I have a meat grinder that was my grandma's and am curious about its age, and whether it's rare. The handle has raised letters that say THE GRISWOLD MFG. CO. ERIE PA. U.S.A., and the side of the grinder says PURITAN and NO 13. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
Puritan branded products were made for Sears, Roebuck by Griswold and others. Favorite Piqua also made Puritan skillets, but were not known to make meat grinders (meaning it would not necessarily date this Griswold-made grinder to after Favorite's demise in 1934). The Puritan #13 would be a commercial size unit for hotel/restaurant use, similar to the counterpart Griswold #4. Hopefully, yours has all four blades with it.
 
Here are photos of the meat grinder.
