Comments:

Originally ordered by A.L. Young Machinery Corp., of San Francisco, for the US Navy. Lathe shipped to the US Navy Shipyard on Mare Island California. Sold to a Private Party in the San Francisco Bay Area and used for a matter of years before it was sold to another private buyer in the San Jose, CA. area who planned to restore and use in his home shop. The Lathe was not restored and it was later sold on an ebay auction for $400.00 in September of 2016. Erdman Door & Specialty, purchased and restored it, and it is now being used in their shop.
