hello and looking for help to ID an old metal lathe I'm looking at buying.

When the seller says it a "very unique" lathe, what they mean is that it's very old. It's a cool old machine, but is it
the sort of thing what you really want, or need? Apart from being cheap it has nothing to recommend it compared
with a newer machine unless antique lathes are your thing. If this is simply the first machine you've looked at, I would
suggest taking the time to educate yourself a bit more before pulling the trigger. There are a bunch of threads here on
the forum on the subject of buying a first lathe which would be a good place to start. And don't hesitate to ask more
questions.
