I've been looking for a Mill and found this on C list.
It says Bridgeport on it but doesn't look to be very robust.

What type of mill is this, Horizontal or Vertical, and how would it do with milling 1018, stainless steel or aluminum?

That's an early Bridgport M-head stuck on an old horizontal mill. I don't know anything about the horizontal mill itself to know if it's rigid enough to do fine work or not. Prices vary from location to location, it wouldn't bring near that much money in my area. No way is it as ridged as a Bridgeport.
 
Looks very... hmm shall I say "flimsy" at best. My advice: run away and don't look back.
 
That's what I thought. Thanks for the insight.
I have my eye on one at an upcoming Auction next weekend, so I'll see how that goes.
