I think I can still reference things similarly to how we do Craigslist Listing.
Here is the Facebook Marketplace link. 1888 Lathe & Morse metal lathe (heavy and large) - Antiques & Collectibles - Candia, New Hampshire | Facebook Marketplace
Here is a picture which I'll bring up by bringing it to my computer first, and then uploading (for permanence and later reference.)
This lathe I would put in the period from 1865 to 1871. It is in VERY good condition. Unfortunately missing a few parts but nothing which can't be found "out there."
Seller is interesting in keeping it TOGETHER - as in he needs a buyer who APPRECIATES this kind of machine and is willing to take this one on as custodian. He will not part it out. His asking price seems negotiable to me, but I think you have to be the right buyer. This probably more important than the actual cash amount.
Anyway, offered by him with my assist as we think alike in keeping what remains of our industrial history alive and functional.
I would buy this one myself except I have two already - and I wish to stay married.

Edit: Those who don't know. Facebook Marketplace is an adjunct to Facebook. You have to be a member of Facebook first, and prove yourself out as an "entity." (I.e. make a couple of friends, fill in all the blanks on who and what you are.) You then apply separately to Facebook Marketplace for membership. This usually takes a week or two to make it through the channels. (this prevents the one-shot spammers, so I'm told) Suddenly one day almost randomly you find you can actually get entry privilege on FB Marketplace. And then you're good to go.
If someone here feels the need to move quick on this and are not a member, I can act as intermediary. But you'll have to make your own deal. The seller will want to evaluate YOU.
