    "W ends in n......wadkin??????????????"

    Yes... Wadkin. A venerable English manufacturer. They mostly made patternmaker's lathes which is what this one is. Top quality vintage iron! Here's a bit on a beautifully restored machine:

    It would be well worth 7k if you compare to the available "contemporary" options in that price range.
