Hello all,
    I have a old circle mill which is missing a couple things....  Like to identify it, wondering if the more knowledgeable here may see something they recognize? 
Thanks

The older circle mills like yours employ the same mechanical principles, thus, the components are shockingly alike.  Your mill does not look like my Frick, but that doesn't mean that it won't have any Frick parts, because the old timers used replacement parts from any source.  Look on the head blocks for any manufacturer's marks.  As the original maker is probably long gone, it will do little good to  identify the make.  What you have is a circle mill starter kit.  It can be the basis of fun project.   Good Luck, and  Regards,  Clark

That cast iron gear cover should be a good clue to the right person. Looks like modern bearings used on mandrel.  Would be more fun to see a photo of carriage and setworks.
