I thought about it for a while. I don't need it, but like my cat killing birds, I'm called towards buying it, just to have it to look at. Cant explain it.
I'll have room in 30 days....... moving the wood tools to the new wood-shop. Let's see if it is still there. I don't know about the unload plan though. Top heavy and tall.

Its a specialized milling machine.

It is meant to bore precision holes but my understanding is that it can do light milling as well.

That would be a damn cool resto project. Hard to know what kind of shape its in. Seller calls it a mill/drill. The question is - was it used like that?
*EDIT*
Vid-1 somewhat similar vintage *jig borer*
Vid-2 newer model with some purpose explanation *jig grinder*

this is crazy....We were just into a base the Coast Guard runs out of T-Bay and it is closing down. There is a bag load of machinery going to waste - maybe crown assets (auction) but I took pictures of this mill/drill:
Might possibly be quite the same as the one in Kijiji? Keep an eye on the Government buy and sell - might be on there in the next year. Very little use and very little wear. Probably only ever used as a drill press. Might be a few other antique machines on there as well as they close things down.
