Can anyone know what this does?

[iamapiper]

neat looking piece of kit!
....wooden knob, slotted indexing plate with spring-lock, "bent" angle lock handles.

Is there any manufacturer name on it?
Does it say "3A" on the collet:

Thanks,

no manufacturer, i will check the collet

Looks like “3 AT”. Barker Milling Machines use 3A collets, as do SB 9’s. Pretty sure 3AT works.
Correction: My Barker uses 3C which are still readily available.

3AT is for Atlas lathes. Old standard, hard to find, not as versatile as 5C, and definitely a long way from ER collets.

If you decide to get rid of it. I would be interested. I would try to modify it to work with my 3C collets.
