Hi all, I am new to machine work, recently purchasing an old Atlas lathe that I'm learning to use. I have accumulated several bits that I'm refinishing and hoping to sell, but need some help with identification. This is a small four inch steady rest, which is marked "Hadley" and I can't find any information on them, or have any idea what lathe this might go to. When I got it, it was completely rusted up, with most of the bolts rusted in and broken off. Obviously the thumb screws are modern. I have measurements in the photo. It's one of those things that I wonder if since it is hard to find any info on it, that it is rare, or if nobody on the planet needs a 4" steady rest.
Any information is welcome.
