I have a similar machine. According to Lathes.uk, Zyto, Pools and Bonds all offered mills of this general design probably made in the Derby / Sheffield area. Mine is labelled "Nottingham Machine Tool" Company.

Regards capabilities, lack of micrometer dials on the feeds is one handicap, but I've used mine for slitting saws and thin side and face cutters on the 1" arbor. Also fly-cutting the radius of smoke-box saddles for a couple of 5" locos, and using end mills as slab cutters. All in all it just about earns its keep.

Thanks for the info guys, think I might go for this just to give me a bit more flexibility.

Did these come with a stand as well?

….there are so many easy ways to knock up some dials the only problem is deciding which method.
