Very rare Victorian treadle lathe, good working order.

Elegant cast-iron base.

8 gear / speed ratios 

Large cast-iron flywheel.

Adjustable chuck or static centres for holding workpiece.

Adjustable tool rest.

All bearings smooth and silent. 

The drive cord is currently plastic - ideally this should be replaced with

 leather cordage similar to that used on old Singer treadle sewing machines.

I really hope it goes to a loving home!

N.B. This a heavy item, so collection in person only from Bridport, West Dorset.
