I discovered this lathe in my father's collection, he was a machinist (tool & die and later taught). The label has South Bend on it but I do not find any stamped model or s/n information. The base is wooden and it appears to be a 3" x 10". I am assuming this is some type of salesmen or classroom training model. Anyone have an idea on the make or other information on this model?

Wow that thing is very very cool, nice find.
I cant answer your question but i think you may be in the right track with it being a salesman scale model.
 
It looks to be a salesman's sample. Companies have been using them for years and some of them bring quite a bit of money.
 
That is the biggest carpenter's square I have ever seen.

First thing that went through my mind.

Second thing that went through was I have seen something similar at an antique shop and when I saw the price on it I went into sticker shock. They are apparently pretty rare.
