Thanks for helps to all.
I have disassembled it in order to clean varnish and oil; no trace of
write or brand!
The stroke is about 15" and the ram has square guides. I have added
the vise, the two cranks and the single phase motor, so them are not
original.
I have examined jet all the shaper in lathes.co.uk, but no trace of
it.

Can you get a "feel"....if its American or if its European?

That may help to narrow it down.

Look for metric vs inch dimensions on things like the ways and
various screws used to assemble it.

Good Luck,

Excellent suggestion.

I sold a 16" shaper a few years ago...cant remember the name of it at
the moment...couldnt find any id on it..except very very faintly stamped
into the clapper was the manufacture name and date. Stroke moment on
the name..but it was made in 1898.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
