Scratch that I was going on my uncle telling me it is a harrison 14 however it isnt. I looked at it today and to me it looks more like a early L5, or at least thats the closest I can match it from the lathes website. The one thing I cant find however is a model with the oil level pot (or at least thats what I think it is) like this one. I have a picture in all its rusted glory with the oil pot marked.
Dont judge too harshly my uncle is 89 and probably hasnt even turned it on for years but I do have a lot of cleaning up to do.

The other thing that is curious is the position of the saddle traverse hand wheel :scratch: early Harrison lathes had the hand wheel at the chuck end of the saddle not the back :scratch:

Good point I didnt notice that until you mentioned it.

Another thing that is bugging me is :scratch: the stand under the chuck end is very much like a Colchester as is the saddle and the cross slide :loco: the Early Colchester lathes had the hand wheel at the rear :hammer: I wonder if you have got a cross bred or a special :Doh: I'll be very interested to find out what it is when you eventually identify it :drool:

Is that a little surface grinder or a horizontal mill in the background? Is that included too.
