Hello Dears, Can anybody help to id this antique lathe. (no plate on the lathe)
I buy this treadle lathe on flea market.

Please see photo: P1010026.jpg
 
About all I can say is it looks mid 19th century English.......... It's nice. Can you post more pictures and maybe measure some thread sizes and see if they match any standards.
 
I think 3 holes on the body of lathe is a for plate. (see image P10100029)

This photo of treadle lathe I find in internet. This lathe is exhibit in Moscow Polytechnic Museum. On the annotation you can read: "Treadle lathe beginning of XX century".
 
That lathe from the museum is a lot earlier than the beginning of the 20th century, probably closer to mid 1800s around the 1850s based on the features is my guess
