1930s Lathe

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2007-08-15, 5:23PM PDT


1930s lathe for sale, salvaged from an East coast adult toy manufacturer.
The lathe was used in the production of dildos from the 1930s to 1990s when
the manufacturing plant was razed. Can turn plastic and wood blanks from 6
to 18 inches in length, and 2 to 5 inches in diameter. Lathe also includes a
reaming tool attachment which was used for hollowing the center core of the
dildo. The lathe is in working order, electric motor driven, and
manufactured by Atlas. Face Plate Diameter: 4 inches -- I also have a 6-inch
face plate, which I will sell separtely, in case you need to produce pieces
of larger girths. Shaft size: 3/4 inch, 16 threads per inch (TPI)

My 1938 Atlas lathe must be from a toy maker in Texas, as it can turn
objects 12" diameter and 24" long.
