There are no badges on the machine, but based upon pictures and description, I believe this to be an Atlas 1250 http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/51/16798.pdf I found this machine on a local Craigslist site. It has been repainted but is in remarkable condition especially considering its age. It came with inboard and outboard face plates, spur drive, cup centre and 8 barely used Keystone chisels. It is mounted on a stand with an also unbadged motor with a single 2" pulley. The motor does not appear to be original. I purchased the lathe from someone organizing an estate sale. He believed that the lathe was purchased new by the previous owner.
