Greetings to Atomic Girl in Auckland New Zealand!
Hmmm - a front view would be more helpful.
It is like trying to ID someone from the back of their
head - if you know what I mean.
And be warned:

I may be a newbie, with no karma as yet, but I would certainly ask the seller for a picture of the OTHER side, where someone might be able to tell the manufacturer. My guess would be it's a Modern Espresso Model One. Sorry....if they don't want to show you the "works" then I would move on. This is from online auction experience. Not good. Cheers!

Scott/Victoria's Dad;
Apologies to Atomic Girl for getting off topic, but Scott, what is the machine pictured in your post (the one that looks like an giant eightball with a portafilter)?

Robb,
You know, I can't remember, all I know is I was surfing some sites and saw this eight-ball machine and wondered how it would work. I'll try and find the site. Seems to me that it would not use brass components or have a large boiler. "One-Shot Shopping"

Here's the link to the website, it's an Italian site, and the machine comes in 'three designer colours'.
click here
It's the Ariete site but I don't know if it's an Ariete machine. It's called the "You And Me"...probably because it makes enough espresso for just, well, you and one other person.
Cheers!
Scott
