This one has me stumped:

The oilers on the headtock and some of the tailstock
details (the shape of the lock lever on top, and also the
cross section of the tailstock handwheel) are reminscent
of hardinge stuff. But the bed seems to be two V-ways
and hardinge never did anything like that to the best
of my knowledge.

Does this thing ring a bell for anyone?

Its neither a Harding nor an elgin. They used dovetail ways, standard

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling
which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being
free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
