For those antique tool folks in in MD, DE, PA, NJ, VA -
I just saw a listing on eBay for an antique treadle lathe that is available in Maryland (local pick-up only) that apparently can be 'purchased now' for $250. Were I closer, I would nab it, but thought I would give a heads-up here in case there are some who may want to investigate this.....
Have a look at:

Would make a great restoration project for a chapter activity, or serve as a good eye catcher at woodturning events..... I would hate to see it go to someone who won't appreciate it - somebody needs to give it a good home! Old tools like this should be preserved!
Sigh.......well, back to grading term papers....
