Dalton identification


 

All, I have a dalton?lather that was passed from grandfather ( a tool and die maker ) to father and now to me. Unfortunately?I? have a woodworking business and generally do not do metal working . So I will be selling the lathe in the near future, but am having trouble identifying the unit and assigning a value. I have attached a few pic hoping identification could be made. I am thinking its a Lot 5 from the little checking? id did. I do not see any stamped number on the end of the bed ways and there is no other name plates other than the pat number plate.?
Any help would be appreciated. Also if there is a way to post messages to the group on the Groups. io page? please let me know or is email the only form of group sharing?
Thanks T

Dennis, Thank you for the response and information. I have had this for several years? now ( father used it to build steam engines and his father was tool?and DIe maker also made steam engines, I broke the?chain, I work in wood) and do not use it, but would like to find someone who would appreciate? it and the history behind it. Would you know what a reason value of it would be and where the best place to list it for sale would be? I am in the upstate?NY area.
Best Regards Ted
