*** I do not own this lathe and am not affiliated with it any manner ***

This machine is posted for sale online about 2.5 hours NW of Toronto and comes with little additional detail.

It struck me as a rather unique machine, complete with both it’s OEM and affiliated dealer badging (Manning,Maxwell, and Moore - NY) and once it was determined that there are few examples posted up here I chose to chronicle it here for posterity purposes.
