All,
I've just acquired my first-ever lathe, and would like some help figuring out what it is.
I forgot to take more pics in the daylight, but will post additional shots tomorrow.
I cannot find any make or model number. The only major meaningful marking appears to be "PATP Feb 15 1887" on the back side of the bed.
EDIT: A quick search yielded a patent for that date for W. F. Barnes, and the illustrations in the patent application look eerily similar, though my eyes aren't exactly trained to see the important details here.
In any case, hoping someone here can elaborate on exactly what this is.
Thanks very kindly!
