This lathe was spotted on the Canadian Government "Crown Assets" auction from September 2012. Lathe was in the machine shop of the boatyard at Selkirk Manitoba, which was built in 1929. (It appears that all assets of the boatyard machine shop were auctioned off.)

Here are the details from the crown assets website:
