It is similar to a dozen or so bench lathes made circa 1875-1930, but is different from any of the ones I know of. The top of the bed has two vees, like a Sloan and Chace, but nothing else on it is like S&C. The tailstock bed lock is unique and would readily identify the maker if pictures could be found.
The screw cutting attachment that drives the slide rest is extremely rare, whatever the maker. Maybe one in 500 or more antique bench lathes may still have that attachment intact.
Some of these lathes had the name stamped on machined flat surfaces. Look at both ends of the bed, both ends of the headstock and the top of the slide rest.
