Did Lodge really make Meat Chopper?

I found this Maid of Honor meat chopper at a local market for only five dollars. Imagine that! Seems to be in good shape too. It still has most of its original plating and just a little bit of rust. I always thought that Lodge made the Maid of Honor skillets and cast iron pieces for Sears back in the 1950s. But now I'm trying to find information on this meat chopper and I can't find anything anywhere that says Lodge manufactured meat choppers under any name. So now I'm wondering if maybe I'm missing some piece of information or did Sears use a different foundry to make their Maid of Honor choppers?

@black clover yes, Lodge made the Maid of Honor cast iron skillets, but Sears used dozens of different manufacturers for their huge catalog.
The chopper is a completely different product category (cast metal tool vs. cast iron cookware), so they almost certainly used a separate factory/supplier. It's very likely not Lodge

I had to look that one up, had no idea what a "Maid of Honor meat chopper" was - it's a sausage grinder! Well, that's what I'd always heard them called anyway. Used one many times as a kid growing up at hog killing time. In fact, I've got one now that I've used for grinding up homemade black powder.

Thanks! I wasn't sure about it. Has anyone here tried cleaning a Maid of Honor meat chopper? What cleaning products did you use? It is kinda dirty and I don't know how to remove the rust without damaging it.
