Well regarded in the decades spanning the 19th and 20th centuries, the Flather Company was founded in 1875 by Edward W. Flather and his brothers William J. and Mark Jr. In its original form and based in Nashua, New Hampshire, the firm specialised in lathes, only later introducing planers and shapers - in which form, after incorporation in 1900, it continued as a going concern until the late 1920s. However, there was more than one Flather Company and one separate concern, the Flather Mfg. Co. (also of Nashua) was established by William's son - William himself leaving Flather & Co. in 1900 to join his offspring. As the main Company was already involved with larger lathes (their most famous being the unusual "circular gearbox" model an industrial-class engine lathe machine patented by Mr. Flather in April, 1895) the Flather Mfg. Co. must have decided to tackle the smaller end of the market. Their only known product to date was thus a little 7-inch swing (in reality with a 4-inch centre height) by 15 inches between-centres model - a machine now very rare indeed with just three so far discovered in the United States. Incorporating a number advanced features the lathe was featured in trade journals during 1919 (see at the bottom page) - though, of course, it may well have been in production for more than a year or two before that. No lightweight special for the amateur, this was a lathe that weighed, in bench form, 300 lbs, and with a specification and design details carefully thought out and every major component massively built. Looking remarkably like a scaled-down larger lathe, for its size and time this was indeed a good, solid job intended for serious professional use in a busy workshop.
Am I understanding this right??? So, the one for sale is one of only four known to exist?
