Saw this listed as a milling machine on FB. Looks more like a jig borer to me but I can't figure out the manufacturer to even start looking it up. Anyone have an idea who made this?

Wow, heavier than it looks. I guess the column is solid cast iron.
Used, I think for the cruder end of die sinking.
Considering the vintage, I wouldn't call it crude.
Here's the sales lit from 1923 showing a similar machine abeit with geared drive to the spindle.
Features a tilting table for milling angles.

I know I am late to the game, but that is a Knight #1 I think I have a #2 at home.
