Might just be big enough to face dress the battery from the caliper.

Sadly I have neither a large workhsop or a £75,000 CMM.

Happily, I do have the clock, (I'm not rubbing it in David )

With all this clock fuss, we've kind of ignored the little lathe.

Can you tell us more?

It's die cast, monkey metal or something like that.

Stencilled with 'Made in Denmark' on the back.

At a pure guess I would say 50's or 60's.

Chance find a few days ago on eBay, thought someone would outbid me, I put a single bid in 5 seconds from the end of the auction (as usual) and got it for £28.

Just bought it for a desk ornament really!

That's all I know

PS – the clock is important as well, I want one of those too!!

This one seems a bit priceyome interetsing things on the bay.

Not much left of this:

This 'supposedly Marklin' stuff is well made and interesting but not cheap:

Which all too often includes stuff fit only for the trash collector.

Sorry! I haven't got the time for the discussion about a digital vernier, especially one so inaccurate tas to show 3.1mm for what is obviously such a huge gap. Or has the Zero been reset?

Does anyone want a leg puller?
