FS: unknown tailstock

Might be a 8" lathe or 9". Don't see a back side - odd. It would appear then that it might be a wood lathe.

Odd that it might have a holding bolt/nut on the backside.

Mart> Can't ID this bugger.

what does the bottom look like - if it's smooth, that hints at a small wood lathe - the smaller Atlas metal lathes also used a 1 MT but they were generally painted blue

Here are the three pics:

For some reason I wasn't able to get more than the one "self hosting" pic on my ebay auction.

Tanks, DOC

It has a Hardinge-ish look to it. Maybe for one of the older split bed lathes. For example...

It is not from any of the Sears-sold lathes - Atlas, or AA

O.K. That looks like one for a jeweler's type lathe. Perhaps for a slightly larger Derbyshire style (size D collets) instead of the WW size. What's the length and width?

If so -- it will have a fairly steep taper at the business end of the tailstock ram, and *should* have (though it may be missing) a drawbar with a handwheel which will live in the center of the wheel with the crank.

Enjoy, DoN.

Sure looks like a Hardinge, probably from a Cateract (sp?)

Or a very early Hardinge DL or DV 59. Notice its for a splt bed with tapered sides. Not the upside down sort of V bed currently in use.
