I know it's not a SB but thought you guys might like it. Just picked this up today, the guy was going to scrap it soon if he didn't find a buyer. 1924-47? Drummond Bros. 3 1/2" M type or 7"x20", 30 years in a basement.
Just love the cantilever base and the wooden knobs on the hand wheels.
OK, now I'm heading over to the antique machinery section.

Nice save. Those are very good little lathes, very well built. A lot of accurate work can be done with one of those
and they're perfect for the hobby machinist. I wish I had more space. Sad that folks don't appreciate the older
machines anymore. Anyone with a larger machine would do well to have that to handle the smaller stuff.
