Found in a Charity shop in 2025, these lovely framed and glass-fronted pictures appear to be the original art-worked images for use in the Company's sales literature. Each picture is inscribed on the back, "John Mitchell Halifax".
The three lathe pictures show a lightly-constructed, flat-belt-driven long-bed example from the late 1800s; another is a more robust but still flat-belt machine intended for line-shaft drive and probably current during the early 1900s, while the third is a heavy, all-geared-head type probably manufactures in the 1920s or even the 1930s.
The final image if of a shaper that appears to have been fitted with power down-feed to the toolpost.
As the images span several decades, there must have been many more, possibly hundreds - but if any of these were framed and preserved is not known. Do you have an example? If so, the writer would be delighted to hear from you.
