Listing of “Antique Ornamental Treadle lathe” on ebay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197290981829
The question is what is the attachment to the rear of the headstock. The seller doesn’t know but sadly failed to provide decent pictures of it. Seems to be a form of spiralling mechanism if the spindle moves longitudinally.

I was a little surprised to see this lathe re-listed … but then realised it was “reserve not met”

Not really fair to split things up that belong together.
