Functional miniature lathe, ca. 1900 - Lot 63
Functional miniature lathe, ca. 1900
A rare miniature lathe made entirely of metal and mounted on a rectangular base. The model accurately reproduces the main components of a real lathe, including the headstock, the stepped pulleys, the tool carriage, the tailstock, the adjusting screws, and the various handwheels. The components are movable, and the mechanism is functional. This highly precise piece was likely crafted as a graduation project or demonstration model in the early 20th century. It features an antique patina, signs of use, surface oxidation, and wear consistent with its age.
Details: Early 20th century, metal, base 7 × 19.5 cm, height 7.5 cm
