A gent near my home has a very old lathe with NO identifacation as to any maker
I looked at it yesterday and I can only tell it is likely pre 1900
it has a lead screw and what looks like a friction knob for half nuts or longitudinal feed
No QCGB and he has no change gears
Can anyone identify the machine ? of advise if it has any historical value?
It is covered with surface rust but works and is 110 volt
