This lathe was purchased by my grandfather and used at our hardware store for its whole life, the store was sold in 2000 at this point the lathe was taken home by my uncle and totaly rebuilt all new chucks ect. Built the new table and now it has been transfered to me. I think that it is in the 1950s time frame. It has the orignal motor and works just like new
