Comments:

This is the first listing for a machine made by NARRAGANSETT MACHINE COMPANY of Providence, R.I. I do not own this lathe but did get permission from the owner (who has since traded this lathe) to post these pictures. Thanks Dave!

The following information was provided by Dave:

The lathe was made around 1890 in Providence, R.I., and marketed as an amateur lathe. Narragansett Machine Company only made lathes for a couple years, so this is a rare working example. It is back-geared, has forward and reverse on both spindle and lead screw with half nuts on carriage. Runs good and all functions operate/shift smoothly.

Specifications:

Distance between centers...15"

Swing over bed....7"

Spindle bore...5/16"

Bed Height.....39"

Machine width...36"

Estimated weight...200lbs
