I have a pair of AA lathes. In the bottom photo you can see both of them, with this lathe sitting in front of its "bigger" brother.

Of interest is that this lathe has shorter legs, a different (and shorter) bed design, and the head and tail stock have open casting frames. I'm making an educated guess that this lathe is the older of the two . . . it just looks a little more primitive, the castings are a bit rougher, etc.

There are casting numbers on the various parts. Those marked (?) are ones where the number is a little hard to read. I'll double check on the actual lathe and update this later with any corrections.
205 - banjo
204 - tool rest
123 - tail stock (?)
___ - head stock (can't even make an educated guess on this one)
117 - bed
210 - handle on tailstock (?)
