    SWEET!

    My big lathe was made in Fitchburg, MA in the 1880s. In the research I have done online, I have only seen pictures of one other Fitchburg lathe (now 2). And this one is the oldest of the bunch. Very cool!

    They sure dont make things like they used to do they, that is a thing of beauty right there.
