Comments:

It appears to have been manufactured shortly after Porter-Cable purchased Mulliner-Enlund as it is nearly identical to a Mulliner-Enlund engine lathe. Porter-Cable only manufactured engine lathes for a short period of time in Syracuse NY. I acquired the lathe from a junk dealer in Oklahoma that he used in his shop. He stated that it came out of an old spring shop that used it to twist coil springs on a jig.
