I did a google serch for this, I typed in used wood lathes in Denver………. To me it looks like i’t’s never been used! The story behind this go’s like this. I asked how old it is? He was not sure, but he told me that his brother got it from his father’in-law. His brother passed away last year. I did some checking, I think it’s comes from the late 30’s to 50’s somewhere in there? the paint is still new looking, I think this thing set for years!!!
I also was given wood turning tools, I priced them about 50 bucks for each one, he gave me 4. The motor is like new, it had a small of wood dust in it, I blew it out with my compresser. With a 48” wood lathe I can make a lot of things, but pens it what I”m going to make.
I found a web site that has old machines, I saw mine but different colour. Mine is like a gray blue the colours date the time when it was made. http://owwm.com/MfgIndex/Detail.asp?Tab=PhotoIndex&ID=657
