Yes. As mentioned in the listing the ONLY thing on this lathe not "perfect" is the oil information label on top of the carriage and just by happenstance I have a new one of those from years ago in my box of machine labels.... but no time to install it. Or does my mentioning that get folks to wondering if any other labels are not original ? If so I should go ahead and install the damn thing, take new pictures, and not make mention of it !Very NICE!
I note the information labels on the bosses of the Speed and Feed levers ... was this original?

Well of course I could "make time" for it....but just didn't seem that important. Plus I can't remember where my "drive screw" collection is since I moved shops years ago. Probably could use original drive screws but might bugger one up in removal process.LOL! Was about to pounce over "no time" to install a LABEL?
Yes, original Hardinge labels....absolutely everything original except the tool carosel stand...unless Monarchist badgers me into changing out that little oil label on the carriageI see no issue with your eBay advert at all ... as for the carriage label, mine is currently in German and I'm waiting to fit a new plate too.
However that was not my question ... I'm very interested to see if the labels as shown below on your machine are genuine Hardinge ones or an after product, either way I really like them as they "look" more pleasing to the eye rather than the earlier rectangular plates behind the levers
Genuine Hardinge Labels ??

LMAO The one machine I've always told myself I would NEVER sell, is my Schaublin 135 lathe.... but hell..I'd even sell that if it would help secure this house deal. I just figured for the 135 it would take a while, as there are so fewer potential buyers in the USA that appreciate Schaublins compared to Hardinge HLV-H and EM's and I don't have "a while" in this case."gawd, I hate to sell this..."
LOL! I'd "hate to sell" just about every machine I saw under yer roof!
There's the curse of understanding and appreciating fine goods then trying to deal in them.
Coveting one's own merchandise instead of ....thy neighbour's wife... fine wines.. or sumthin' less "durable"..

Schaublin's obviously take pride of place, given that you seems to have forgotten you even still held the Cazeneuve now mine in inventory.LMAO The one machine I've always told myself I would NEVER sell, is my Schaublin 135 lathe.... but hell..I'd even sell that if it would help secure this house deal.

In reality I will probably not have to sell anything but I'm concerned the appraisal on my current house will not be as high as it needs to be thus being proactive as there is a "closing" deadline looming and I can't take the chance on the appraisal being up to snuff, especially now that the banks are forced to choose appraisers at random, I could get stuck with a complete idiot appraiser.

Whata deal, if these were still made it would probably cost more than $80K!
As you say, that is a much older EM with the dual dials on cross and compound. As they need internal gearing to compensate for inch to metric turns the dials are less pleasant to turn than the direct to screw dials of the newer DR model like mine. Wonder what the backlash was ? Mine is .005" in cross feed, .002" on the compound and .001" on the long feed. Yes, .001"...I was amazed.There was a REALLY nice looking older model EM that sold on Feebay recently for 23.3 (I assume no tooling other than the collets mentioned, and no DRO). Hardinge HLV-EM | eBay cheers.
