the 5 1/2 has a odd handle, the aft one, they do break.
The 2A is a short sole one.
Both are very nice.
that makes sense now, was wondering why the sticker was still there and the two handle woods didnt match
Its a Manx Moot point but you would have to have a Turnip head to call those swedes.
@Blobber Make him some sprout wine ...
If I've told you once , I've told you twice , " Lay off the Scottish cooking whiskies they addle your brain & rot ones guts".Good sprout wine is a tad too dry for me and depending on the strain of sprout used some have a tendency to produce real stinky sulphurated hydrogen farts.
PS.
Those round orangy purple topped veg in the box are usually called Swedes in England but might be known to you in Scotland as Swedish turnips rather than the white purple top turnip , the yanks apparently call both types Rutabaga's for some strange reason . Though apparently due to being lazy, above the border strange speaking people call" turnips" neeps instead . 
Lovely little lathe I have it's British / American great great grandaddy ( circa 1943) called Sphere.
Put the lamp post tool holder safely away and get a feather style quick change tool post and 10 or more tool holders including a scissor knurler and a pair of boring bar holders of different sizes & indexable tools with spare cutters and you will have a dam good set up . If it has a cross slide power feed ..... be careful you don't crash it at the ends of the travel or you'll like as not break the driving dog which costs at least $100 USD ..guess how I know ?

Happily, a 500 mm square of steel plate , 10 mm thick....
Think that it may have been a large garden umbrella stand, but it may become a stand base for either the bead swager, or the bench shears......
On lockable castors, that's not so wrong.......

In the Isle of Man (where my family comes from) a Turnip is called a Moot and at Hop Tu Naa (Halloween to you) lanterns are carved from them.
Good sprout wine is a tad too dry for me and depending on the strain of sprout used some have a tendency to produce real stinky sulphurated hydrogen farts.
PS.
Similar traditions can be found in Ireland, Switzerland and a few other places.
Turnip have a purple skin, orange flesh and are round in shape.
Swedes have a white skin, white flesh and are more like a fat parsnip in shape.
Even parts of England can get the name correct, for example;
The septics have many peculiar habits and mis-spellings.
BTW I only drink whiskey, never whisky.

The only good thing to do with sprouts is to plough them under.
