Oliver #20-D Pattern Maker's Lathe, serial # 43502, 1936. 4-20-11.

Hey,
Well this lathe has been done since about Feb 2008, my how time flies. I guess I am about 3 years behind in my OWWM submissions; did you miss me? The restoration took us about 3 weeks the way that I remember it. We are the second owners and the original paper work was found. The lathe was received in 8/31/1936, with invoice amount of $1225.00. Wow, that must have been a few shekels back then!
It was a joy to restore, nothing was broken. She is a beaut as you can see, and she has done a lot of work for us. It is a real joy to work on such a machine.
Life is short, enjoy your projects!
Chuck
