I recently got a 15x8ft from a friend and am wondering what year it was built. from looking on the lathes.co.uk site im figuringits pre 1920 as it has no screw cutting gear box. Anybody know what year it was built?

just found the serial number, took a bit of scrubbing to find it C-24359. Is that unusual to have two sets of riser blocks? I also have a box full of different threading gears, some still in the original box.

Thx
 
What you have there is an early 1900s English lathe made in Indiana.They (the brits) filled large spaces with machines like this and made anything and everything right there.Long gap bed,change gear lathes.The possibilitys are unlimited.
