Looks like a platter or shallow bowl lathe. Large faceplate.

Without a large faceplate, it might have been (or could be) a bowl lathe.

No idea on the bearing as to weight and thrust ability but it looks
ample. That really tells.

Lots of good tools so it seems. Is this a 3 phase shop ? maybe!

I have 3 phase high voltage (370) in my metal shop. Wood end is all
130v or 110v depending on the age not voltage in the wall.
