Not a lot of info about Mars machines other then they were made in Brisbane, they made a variety of machine tools and seemed to have disappeared off the scene in the 50's...

Here's some info on their lathes (of which I have one). The page mentions that they made shapers but has no more info.

So Andre we're relying on you and your phone-camera to rectify this info-void on Mars shapers. The next question is: Are you going to buy it?
