This one is in pretty bad shape but appears to be complete. Lot of surface rust here - the King Seeley gold color from the period. This one came with a small hoe-made tool rest (laying on the column). Apparently the Gold paint indicates that this one of Craftman's Anniversary models as they painted all their tools gold that year (got that from another OWWM member). This lathe has since been sold.
