I measured the adapter and it seems to be an MT5 to 5C adapter. It came as part of the closer ... the other pieces in the picture ... and it seems to fit the spindle of my G4003 lathe nicely. I may need to fabricate the fulcrum for the closer lever at the back of the lathe but all in all appears to be much less work than having to build one from scratch.

They are single hole 1-2-3 blocks still in the wrapper. Also in that picture are alpha and numeric stamps, several types of parallels still in the wrapper, what appears to be a 3 inch three jaw chuck that can be removed from what appears to be a 5C collet and an inexpensive test indicator.

The less populated rack ... by 16ths ... has Taiwan marked on them but not other name. The fuller rack ... by 32nds ... doesn't have anything on them. I assumed most of it was from Enco and was import

The three largest ones have removable arbors and the three smaller ones do not. Regretfully the "Automatic Boring Head" in the left rear of the picture does not seem to have a removable arbor, but I have not taken it apart yet so who knows.
The large box in the left rear of the last picture is new double ended two flute Enco HSS mills and the two smaller boxes are both new single ended HSS Enco mills. The blue tray has what appears to be very lightly used mills, plus keyway and three different size HSS dovetail mills.
