South Bend gap bed lathe Serial number15464 that I believe was manufactured in 1918. It appears to be a 16 inch with a 96 inch bed. With the gap “block” removed it looks like you could turn 24 inches by about 8 inches. A gift from my father, still in use on the farm. Needs drive gear on the lead screw, but operated on a regular basis. Originally located in South Bend, now in Paris, Ill.
