Description

This Holtzapffel ornamental turning lathe was built in 1881 and first sold in 1885, making it one of the later machines built by the Holtzapffel firm.  H2362 has been extensively modified by its previous owners to function as a rose engine, though it can be easily dismounted to serve its original ornamental turning functions.  This is a lathe for someone who wants to use it, not just look at it.  The lathe is in excellent working condition, though it shows its years.
