Does anyone have a LeBlond #2 mill for sale?

Dr. Hillbilly · Jan 15, 2020

I know there and not many early LeBlond mills out there, but had to ask.

I have no logical reason to want one, but I worked for LeBlond during the last 2 years of lathe production and learned to respect the old hands who designed and built them.
I have a LeBlond 17" lathe built in 1904, and the #2 would have an envelope to match.

I saw one at an auction 20 years ago.It looked like the owners restored it and hadn't used it.
It also looked more like a 30's machine than a turn of the century one.
The couple that won the bid got into war with someone else and spent 5-600.They were apparently amature antique dealers?After the bid they were trying to figure out how to move it and I overheard the guy ask someone else "what does that thing do"!

I just remembered that a shipyard friend bought a much larger LeBlond mill from the yard.I remember it had 4 spd truck trans adapted to it.
Those are the only two I have ever seen.
