W.Blackett metal work lathe circa 1900

Description

This metalwork lathe possibly dates from the early 1900's or earlier, although we're not quite sure. The lathe was the main piece of equipment in an engineering business, housed  in an old mill. If you can shed any light on it's value and significance (if any) it would be great.

Photograph not available at present. 

Thank you.
