Thanks again for the trouble everyone is going to to reply. I really appreciate it. I'm going to have a sort through stuff that is on and around the lathe on Friday / weekend . I'll post some pictures afterwards. There are just an over whelming number of tools to sort through ( not just this lathe) . There is a massive bench drill ,grinder, floor mounted vice and god knows how many tools!

Thanks again for all the replies.

I'll try to sort through some cupboards and see if I can try and identify what might be related to the lathe.

Thanks for all the replies, I do really appreciate the time people have taken to reply.

Myford have said it may be an ML2. I does look like a picture of one on lathes.co.uk. There are loads of attachments for it but don't know what they are called. It was bought new by my Grandad and has been in the family since then. It is in Nantwich,Cheshire if that would be of interest to anyone.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm writing on here to request help on trying to identify various tools that are in my dad's garage who recently passed away.

He was an engineer and loved model engineering so I thought this might be a good place to start. Basically I'm hoping someone can identify/ value? this Myford lathe. It dates from around the 1940's as it was previously owned by my grandfather who used it in his toy factory where he made lead toys before and during the war.

It does work and I've attached some photos that will hopefully help. It has a number stamped on it V1014.

Thank you in advance for any help.
