The only thing I can find at all "close?" is a P&W bench model that's
called: model M1689. Not too close but???? This source shows the serial number in 1940 as: 489. If this is close (yearwise and stylewise) perhaps someone may know what a similar machine would be worth. Any info on an electrical legend plate?? Good luck, dennis in nca |

Where would I find the P&W Book. Oh, here it is. It was re-printed by Linsay Publications, ISBN: 1-55918-087-0, "Accuracy for 70 years, 1860 - 1930" by Pratt & Whitney. They show an example of a lathe with weighted carriage, circa 1860, by 1865 the seem to have gone to a gibbed carriage.
