Looks like a Mysore Kirloskar lathe from the mid to late 1970’s. Other than being built for people only 5 foot tall it’s not a bad lathe. Imported by Luke’s Machinery in western Canada and probably others, made in Southern India.
 
Crap. I actually laughed when I read he was selling it for his grandfather. I pictured this old guy hunched over his precious old lathe, surrounded by piles of tools and tooling....... :D

Then I realized that could just as well been one of my grandkids selling my lathe!!! o_O
