Spotted this in Iowa yesterday..
While on my way to Moline, IL, to pick up this:
A 4' Metal Lathe from the Rockford Drilling Machine company. My best guess for age is 1915-1920
My grandfather had picked it up at some point, and converted it to electric from line-shaft. After his death in the late 1990's, my Mom's cousin inherited it. Now that individual is downsizing, and wanted it to go to a good home. Mine.
There's not much information out there on these things, so if anyone here is a Historian Machinist, I'd love to know what you know.

Your talking about the white car right HaHa. Next years Carlisle car.I love the "landau spare tire hump"
That car really is a beauty.
The "single exhaust" on the van is kinda fun, too.

Thanks goes to Wendy and Emily. They spent a year planning this to the tiniest detail. There is no way I could of had the patience to plan 16 days like they did. Excuse the upside down photos. They look rightside up on my phone
