Recognize This Handwheel?

I acquired a cast iron handwheel as part of an auction lot, in a box with a bunch of Bridgeport parts. I don't have a Bridgeport (I'm a Millrite owner), but so far the Bridgeport photos I've seen online don't seem to match this wheel. Although the photo looking down the barrel isn't very clear, there's a threaded section in there (1"-24, as I recall). It also has an oil hole with a felt insert for lubricating the shaft.

Anyone recognize it?

Looks like the quill fine downfeed manual handle on a Bridgeport. Sits basically right in your face using the mill so people always remove them and they get lost.

Here's one I made for my Lagun. Turns out Lagun is a different size than a Bridgeport and Laguns price would make the U.S. Military blush.

are you looking for a machine to fit your handle?

I'm looking to sell the handwheel on eBay to help defray the cost of the auction. (I bought the lot to get a rotary table and a super spacer.) I figure it'd be easier to sell the handwheel if I could identify the machine it goes with.
 
ask a silly question ...get a silly answer...foghorn leghorn.

With all the people who buy random crap with out knowing anything about it, I wonder how long before we get a post along the lines of, "Hey guys, I was digging through my neighbors trash one day and found this thing. What is it?"
