Thanks to Jim Wilkins, I have been able to identify the mysterious "key
cutter".

It is the third pic, on the site Jim pointed out.

according to the handyman who stopped by the other day, all the bearings
seem to be very sound.

now for my original question:

is there any value in this machine?

there are two options:

one, i get to get my first machine for a soon to be budding metal shop,
as i have most of the wood tools i need.

two, i help the widow sell it.

if the value is too high, then selling is my option.

i'll be posting pics soon.

Id be interested in swapping for it.
