That's a sliding gap bed lathe in fairly good shape. Hard to say what make it is. Several lathe manufactures made one back in its days.
The only thing I see that does not look right is the compound. It should be setting up much higher that it is now, which could mean it's not original to this lathe.
All of the end gearing is gone and replaced by a DC motor, which is probably much better for feeding. Just can't cut any threads.
Not worth much. Probably get more for it in scrap than from someone wanting it to use for a lathe.
Sure has high hopes on trading for high dollar items there!
