Bob Ames sent me these pictures of a fine lathe manufactured in Worcester, Mass. The A.F. Henshaw Co. is a company that was not shown on the OWWM list, nor listed in Kenneth Cope's American Lathe Builders. It is very similar to an F.E. Reed lathe. As with most Worcester lathe builders, there must have been a connection between the two companies. Bobs father was a carpenter in eastern Ohio, and this was his lathe. Bob kindly gave his permission for me to post these pictures.
