I have a very old Sloan and Chace #5 I believe. Will post pics if anyone is interested. It's been kicking around the garage and but I don't want to part with it until I find out it's value. Anyone familiar with it?

i am sure you have probably seen this page. very interesting machine. wish i had known , before we did our deal, i would have swapped ya.

i have an old Prentiss brothers lathe, circa 1895, doing duty in my shop. It is still a very capable machine and it has been earning its keep quite nicely.

Do you have any of the attachments with it? what kind of shape is it in?

lets see those pics please.
