Unit was owned by a gentleman by the name George Spratt. He and my father were lifelong tool and die machinists who ultimately finished their careers with Carrier Corp in Syracuse, NY. Fortunately, I acquired this lathe from George before he past some years ago. My father and I used it for a few projects before it was drafted into service with a friend of mine during the early stages of his gunsmith career. Since then the machine has been in retirement and comfortably stored in my shop.
