My brother recently purchased a Crawford Machine Tool Company lathe, also listed as "Joseph Crawford Jr Company" on the machine. I found the listing for them here, and his lathe appears to be the same as the one in the ad. Does anyone have any more info on these? Is this Crawford at all related to Crawford Swift?

It looks remarkably similar to a Hendey lathe. Hendey Lathes Page 6

Your bro may as well have the Hendey manual for this "me to" lathe

It will be fun seeing if ANYTHING is different

It definitely has some differences. Main thing I can see right off is the threading gears. I have some pictures on my google drive at the link below.
