Can you identify this please... It does not have a name stamp, perhaps it came with a milling machine. This is what I have What I know is it came from the then "West Germany" It was owned by an Instrument Maker / Toolmaker now deceased. The only stamping is the number 618 shown in the photo. I believe it is old but don’t know how old. The black round handle and crank handle are black bakalite. When was bakalite last used???? The table is 280 mm in diameter. with 4 x 4 slots 14 mm. The wheel and pinion are hardened and ground and sit in an oil bath, the level of which is indicated by a glass tube sight glass. All screws are machine cut, as are all the screw slots which are milled. The filler cap screw has a tiny air hole and is a beautiful piece of engineering. A number 3 Morse (I think) taper in the center. The graduations are cut, and numbers are all stamped. The dial on the winder is in three sections of 0 to 100. The ratio of the table is 120 : 1 Sma
