Hello ladies and gentlemen
... please be gentle ..I`m new here 
I have just purchased this little beauty from the old flea bay today. I was looking for an old and much better manufactured than newer versions (IMO) X-Y compound cross sliding table to go with an unfinished (nearly there) refurb of my Boxford PD4 so it was important to get one in keeping with the vintage era. I plan to strip and refinish/refurb where necessary.
Please can I delve into the vast knowledge and experience on here and ask if anyone has any knowledge or suggestions as to what make/ model it is or indeed anything at all about it?
I do not have it yet (collection only) but I believe it is metric. The seller states possibly J&S and I presume he means Jones and Shipman. There is one other on Fleabay right now for double what I paid and he has seemingly copied (or vice versa) the same idea that it may be J&S. I have been looking at Google image search all evening, and I am not even getting close.
The one still on Fleabay is here:

(sorry I hope I am allowed to put that link) - I`m sure you will tell me if I`m doing it wrong - I`m new!
Title: X-Y metric graduated cross table 12" x 6" poss J & S by a seller called: Home and workshop machinery (6527) feedback.
This seller is asking £600 and I got it for half that off the other seller for £278 - I think I got mine at a very good price but I`m not sure... Good for me though.
I would love to find out about it as I try to seek as much information as possible about the vintage refurbs I do and do try to restore them to as near as possible to original spec (paint etc)
If anyone has any insight or suggestions/leads I could wither the hours away researching, then I would be very grateful indeed.
I would also love to share the restoration pictures of both the early Boxford PD4 (before the Union branding) and the XY table when complete. or I could even show how it is coming along so far if anyone is interested. It would be my pleasure.
