Small Bridgeport, $800. On Craigslist.

Looks like a gen-you-wine museum piece, if nothing else! Too bad they don't show a closeup of the serial number or date of manufacture. And the section of the column just above the table looks like it can be adapted as a horizontal mill (?).

But if it runs (and the dovetails are OK), I'm sure somebody will enjoy a nice bargain.
 
It looks like just the head is Bridgeport. Adapted to an old horizontal mill
 
I agree, it's an old horizontal mill base with a Bridgeport head mounted on the overarm.
 
I must be getting cheap in my old age because I wouldn't pay more than $200 for that thing.

Why?

I have a 1948 Bridgeport with the exact same milling head, a later production M-head. #7 Brown and Sharpe spindle taper.

Just because it's on a horizontal base doesn't mean it's bad. Albeit a bit rusty :)
 
it's also a universal too! as long as every thing works and it's not worn beyond use this would be leagues ahead of an X2/3 or anything else you could buy around here for that price
