Default My Dalton Lathe

Hi, I?Tm trying to I.D. an old Dalton I just got. ( Oregon, March
2017) It has Dalton Six cast on it and the end plate says New York.
The Patent
plate indicates Patents from 1914 to 1922. Therefore I guess it
was built in
1922 or after, and until 1925 when Dalton moved from New York.
It?Ts not
large. I?Tm not a machinist and do not know how to run a lathe (
but will
learn). However, it has about an 8? swing and spindle to chuck
face is
about 16? max. Where are there other markings or casting numbers
that might
tell me what it is? I?Tve attached a picture. Thanks. It is very
COOL!
