Stark No. 2 "Manufacturing Lathe" - a small cantilever-bed machine supplied with either a 16" or 22" long bed with 6" and 12" between centres respectively. The swing was 57/8" swing the maximum collet capacity 0.25". This accurate bench lathe was capable of being converted to light manufacturing use and was also available with a supporting foot at the tailstock end of the bed when heavy-duty use was envisaged.

I found this on the floor at an estate sale, Priced at $12.00 so I rescued it from going in a dumpster.
