The Vintage Machinery site has a bit of info on this maker:


At a glance, the listed machine looks pretty similar to this offering from 1945:


Extremely cool but just far too big for any space I've got.

One other nice thing about big old lathes...... They are very patient, they don't mind sitting in storage for a year or so while you expand your available space.... Sounds like an application with the chief financial officer might be in order. ;)
..... Must be Friday night, I am in a pot stirring mood... Lol

We need to start Old Iron Anonymous. To help people who have an unhealthy obsession with acquiring camelback drill presses and lathes with flat belt drives.

Repeat after me:

Lord grant me the serenity to covet only the tools I can afford, the courage to convince my partner to allow me to buy the tools I can’t afford, and the wisdom to know the difference.

The very thought of this, and the blood drains out of my face and my hands become cold and clammy, I don't think I can survive the withdrawal, ...... smoking and drinking I dealt with, this is just too much... Lol
 
Look at all those accessories! And it's located almost next door to me! I wish this had come up when I was looking for my first lathe! Makes me think of the old song; "Oh it's sad when you belong to someone else when the right one comes along..."
