Ohio Forge Lathe

[mater]

Does anyone know anything about Ohio Forge Lathes? I saw one in the want ads for sale. I did a couple searches for info but could not find any. Thanks

All I could find was the following, in a bulletin board:

"The first motorized lathe that I bought was an "Ohio Forge" (not the
Ohio located near the great lakes, the Ohio located near Yangtzi province)
that I bought from Home Despot for $150. Heck, I turned a lot of good
things on that puppy, including turning the axles for a 7' long cannon
out of fir 8" by 8"s. I recently bought an old Yates American with
variable speed, and have a firm offer of $100 on the Ohio Forge lathe."
