Does Anyone Recognize This Follow Rest?

[Chuck K]

I was organizing some stuff on my shelves and ran across this follow rest. It was included along with a partial taper attachment with a Sebastian lathe I had a while back. It didn't fit the lathe and I have no idea what lathe it originally came from. Looks like it's for a 13 - 14" machine. It mounts on the dovetail as opposed to the back of the cross slide. Any info would be appreciated.

Don't recognize it, but it reminds me of a bird I once had lol ...but i might be willing to try to make it work on my 14 1/2 South Bend .....send me a PM if you are going to unload it

Looks like a LeBlond. It sits on the cross slide dovetail directly in line with the tool.

Bill, It could be a leblond. If it is, it's different than the leblond follower I have. Here's a pic of it:

I think it is a Noah rest, from the lathe he made the shafts for the ark.

I'm sorry that was bad. If nobody here can help try this group.

Thanks Mark. I'll probably have to become a member to post the pic. I guess you can't belong to too many groups. )
