Obviously post-war would likely have 'W Germany' on it. I think that was pretty universal. But I wonder if it can be additionally dated as pre-Nazi from the lack of any added adjectives before or after the word 'Germany'? Not a big issue, but a matter of curiosity.

I went to the UK site, but information is sparse. It should be a '1A' type, that's about all I got from it.

I just picked up one in decent shape (worn plating in some areas) with a toolbox full of stuff, tools, watch parts, etc. 40 or so WW collets, brass wax faceplates, wheel chucks, drills reamers, etc. Have not yet classified the stuff as 'fits lathe' or not. I'll probably have a few questions later.

I have five G. Boley WW pattern watch lathes that I judge to be post-war and pre-wall-fall. One even has the painted finish. I have a couple more that could be pre-war, based upon condition. All are stamped, 'GERMANY.' So I guess they did not use the 'West' qualifier, for some reason. As far as I know, country of origin labeling is required on all imports by the US government, and I suspect a simple 'Germany' would not have been sufficient before the wall-fall.

Maybe the packaging had the West part on it. I have never seen a G. Boley lathe new in the box. What are the numbers? This one has the 'G Boley' in a half-round shape (others seem to be straight), with the number 7607 under that, and 'Germany' below the number.

Maybe it isn't as old as I think. However, condition makes me suspect it is at least back to the 50's, if not pre-war.

It is in good condition, but has plating worn off. Possibly that could be from use over a shorter time. But the spindle etc do not seem worn to any significant degree. As far as taking it apart, I removed the removable parts for cleaning up the various parts, but have not investigated dis-assembling the bits.

The clamping levers don't seem to want to come apart, so it's just as well that they don't need to. Probably you would have to push up against a spring, but I am leaving well enough alone. I'll have enough trouble making it a cross-slide and pivot polisher, assuming the seller does not find them around anywhere (he is looking, and has found some more stuff).

Disassembly is easier than it sounds really. The clamping levers are cam locks, the exposed part with the lever should pull out with some turning and a bit of pressure on the claming part. The spindle should have plain cone bearings with the back one adjusted with a split nut which will be very accessible, (not hidden away). The rear bearing should slide off but certainly on mine. Having that kind of less than shiney look to it, took a few hits to the spindle with a leather faced hammer, after applying a liberal amount of penetrating oil.

The pulley should have a grub screw in one of the grooves, possibly with a locking screw (it's been a while). I'm not sure whether your bearings will be steel or bronze but the steel bearings work nicely with sewing machine oil. You might tbe able to find an ariticle on the BHI website under hits and tips. I'll be able to post a picture of my own lathe when I get home and I'll check the numbers if I have time - the lathe being kept elsewhere. OK, for what it may be worth, here are the numbers from my G.
