Comments:

This tiny machine has been sitting on a window sill for years. The bed is 15" overall, it has a 6" swing and a maximum of 11" between centers. I believe it may be very early Walker Turner Driver Line production because Jersey City is noted on remnants of decals located on the tool rest, head and tail stock. I can find no comparable units on this site.
