This is an incredibly rare W. Clement Watchmaker’s “Disappearing Bed”. This is the motorized version, though the motor doesn’t turn when I tested it. The bed is about 15-1/2 long. This was bought and used by my grandfather in the 1930s and has stayed in the family ever since. Even more unique and rare than the lathe itself are the four custom wooden drawers full of Collets, Chucks and other tools as shown. Many are numbered with sizes and fit into numbered holes in what was likely the factory-supplied wood holders. A spot-check found W. Clement stamped on many of the accessories. There’s also a number of brochures, instruction sheets, drawings, etc. The lathe is mounted on a period steel base. It does not have items like a lamp, power cords, etc. Just what’s in the photos. I may be able to deliver it within some driving distance of the D. You are welcome to submit your’best offer’ for consideration. You may never again find such a complete collection of the rare Clement lathe and so many original accessories! The item “Rare! W. D.
