Any Reason To Keep My Lantern Style Tp Holder?

If I were you I would get a nice oak board and make a nice holder to mount on the wall. I didn't get one with my 13" S.B. but it took a while to get the all of ebay and that's what I did with mine. You never have to many tools.:eagerness:

yes , its an antique and someday your heirs will write hobby machinist and ask what this is, just kidding. someday you might find a need for it. fishing sinker ,door stop, putting in a box of tools for a newbie he will like it. bill
 
There's nothing wrong with having various (left, right, straight, boring ("V"), cutoff/grooving ("blade" holder), knurling (with interchangable wheels) what I see most are calling "lantern" (that we called "rocker"), provided that they set up on center in this hobby type Machinist environment for a "garage" lathe (yada)...having said that; Most of them have been replaced by the 80's and 90's but I could never bring myself to pitching them in the scrap/chip hopper....I prefer Aloris and KDK with KDK my favorite.
 
FYI
I put mind in to bottom of draw and use it about ever 10 years
It is handy to have for that job
The rest of time I use Aloris
