Fair asking price for an old, quality built, wood lathe?

[bgthigfist]

My father in law gave me some of his old shop tools before he passed away around 10 years ago. He didn't buy cheap stuff. While I use most of them from time to time, I have a Wood Lathe for making chair legs that I'm never going to use. I was thinking about trying to sell it, but have no idea of it's value. Maybe yall can help me out.

It's a Ludell Wood Lathe, model WL40. Made in 1985 for the Atlas Hardware Company in New York.

it has a 1/2 HP motor and can handle stock up to 1000mm in length.

The thing is heavy as hell. I tried googling for info, and found plenty of wood lathe selling sites, but no info on something this old.

Any idea what would be a fair asking price? The husband of one of my co-worker's might be interested in it, but I have no idea what to ask for it.

It looks like it has no base?

No base. He built/bought bases for many of the tools, but not this one.

Kinda weird it looks identical to the 40 inch general machine lathe I picked up cheap a while back same pulleys same square tube for the tool rest and tail I wonder if somewhere down the line the same company's made them both?
