The title sums it up... it’s a square head with hard/ground ways, and the serial reads M1696-21234.
Much appreciated if anyone can find date of manufacture! Just got this lathe and am getting acquainted.

John, thanks a lot! That’s exactly what I hoped for. This lathe is a real handsome brute, and is in good working order... I’m extremely happy to have obtained it as my “forever lathe.”
I’ll start a thread about it with pics next week or so...
