This one probably in the timeframe 1871 to 1891, perhaps about mid-range design wise as the bed is "straight."
Looks like 8' bed. My "Lathe & Morse" (slightly earlier) is the 6-1/2 bed, the next smaller size - but a lathe good for objects up to 4' long. Longer is generally better in woodworking lathes.
Price a little high by my estimation, but your buying success may vary. A good price locally for a lathe of this ilk might be $300. No drive for this, apparently. "Plug & play" might bring it closer to the ask.
Some other loose parts for a wooden bed lathe?

And, for the record, a permanent pix...
