Comments:
This is a No. 6 metal lathe, it has a single splined lead screw and plain rest. Patent date on it is 1876. A small transmission has been rigged by some previous owner to allow easier change of speeds as well as allow for forward and reverse rotation. Missing some change gears but treadle power parts and seat seem to be all there.
