Probably Lathe & Morse.
It has the later "wide emblem." All of these I've seen show either Lathe & Morse, Lathe, Morse & Co. (1864-71) or Lathe & Morse Tool Company (1871 onward.)
Actually - there is a Shepard, Lathe & Co. out in Sacramento California area that has been for sale for over a year at $1200. Purportedly from the early San Quentin Prison - but minus the legs. 18��s metal lathe - antiques - by owner - collectibles sale
This San Quentin lathe is probably the earliest SL&Co. lathe extant. SQ opened in 1852. Shepard, Lathe & Co. started under that name in 1854. It was probably a rough trip around the Cape Horne in that pre-transcontinental railroad era?

Funny you should mention a SL&Co. "wide" tag. I myself have a pencil rubbing of such a tag, procured by me in attempting to put a name to an early Worcester lathe of my ownership which I suspected of being SL&Co. (Thank you Mike U. wherever you are!) http://www.practicalmachinist.com/v...ner-gould-eberhardt-shaper-115555/#post439386
This "kidney shaped" nameplate rubbing had holes which match the holes on the headstock of my woodworking lathe which MAY indicate something. IIRC the plate rubbing says "Shepard Lathe & Co. Maker Worcester Mass" in three lines.
To drift the thread slightly, here is a current Craigslist entry for an identical wood lathe. This owner puts it to CL Pike but methinks Pike was a re-seller of a Worcester lathe possibly SL&Co.
The Shepard, Lathe & Co. tag that I posted is from Mike U.'s planer.
C.L. Rice. Not Pike.

Follow up on the "Boston Craigslist Lathe."
I talked with the owner and made appointment to see it this morning. We sort of agreed on a price going into this (somewhat less than the ask but with caveats) but the details on that I'll leave to anyone who wants to PM me.
Talking with the owner, he says "I have a couple of more lathes you might be interested in."
