Info on New Chuck Please

[PC]

A friend recently died and I have been asked to clear the workshop and sell the contents.  I am currently cataloguing all items which includes, what appears to be, a new chuck and a VB36 Deep Hollowing Rest.

The chuck has no brand name but, knowing Peter, he would not have entertained using tat (the drill press is an MF4 Meddings* already fitted with a smaller chuck).

It has a diameter of 93mm and weighs 3.8kg.  It has a J5 arbor and simply marked "Super Chuck", "Ball Bearing" and "JT5 Cap .5-25.4mm" (there are some straight shanked 1" drill bits).

Is there anyway of telling whether we have a quality item here as I would like to ensure fairplay for the family?

Also, the VB36 was sold a while ago but he, presumably, forgot to pass on the VB36 DHR5/6 Deep Hollowing Rest.  I could not find the pin accessories but remainder is complete.  Any idea of what I should be asking to give the family a fair price?

* - Hope to add to the forum shortly - the drill along with Startrite 502E, Kity 637, Myford Super7 and an Apollo Professional.

I’ve got Albrecht and Jacobs chucks and they’re very clearly stamped with the makers name. If the Chuck doesn’t have a manufacturers name on it I doubt it’s a premium product but who knows?

Thanks Bill.  That is what I suspected, most unlike him. I was just hoping somebody might recognise it.  Ah well , there is always ebay.
