Default What's this lathe?

Couldn't get pictures so will try to describe this lathe.
It had two pipes for the bed-way. It looks well made and it's old.

Seems that it was about 48" long and 10" from head to bed. I think it
was green. Maybe yates-american? It is in working condition. I think
it was on an original stand.


The tailstock had a tin emblem riveted on it that was hard to read
due to low light. I think I caught the word Smith. I had to lean
over too and read upside-down.

Not much to go on, may try to get more info.

Anyone have a idea of what it's worth?
