I know .... I've got it ..... it's going to be something truly
amazing!
Okay, so I don't really know, but I'm sticking with the above
statement!!!
Does look like parts that could go a long way to building a
lathe, just as Bruce said.

Looks like quite the puzzle! :D
I was up at my brother’s near your place this afternoon and was
just thinking I hadn’t heard anything from you in awhile. Good
to “see” you again 😉

Thanks Guys, Good to be back.
The Puzzle above is most of a "Guilder Model Builder Lathe"
These were produced in the 1940s, a combination-tool for the
model maker, the lathe could be ordered seperately or with
attachments such as Scrollsaw, Drill press, Table saw, milling
attachment...
This one still has most of its bits.
(Below photo borrowed from Lathes UK) If interested You can read
up on the history of the Guilder there.

There is one on Ebay now with fewer attachements for an enormous
price.
I will do my best to put my puzzle back together and make any
missing bits along the way.

I just want to say thanks for your interest in this project, I
like it for it's "uniqueness" its kind of a unicorn and deserves
to be put back together, and I am interested to see if it can do
any real work, (small scale hobby work) and it will be a
conversation piece regardless.

Wow, a do all toll. Kind of like a small Shop Smith tool only
for metal, not wood.
Keep us posted.
