Summary
Woodturner's lathe is mounted on to a wooden frame, the machine would have been belt-driven, and the date of the piece is somewhere between the 1930s and the 1950s. Heavily modified as the position of the headstock would impede operation. Bench not original, has been replaced in recent years.
