Pratt Whitney lathe
#6
My guess is that its older than late 40's and quite possibly WWII vintage.  Is there a War Board tag on it?  It could have been painted over.  Yes P&W's are beasts, but they were built for taking a beating and moving a lot of iron very quickly.  Then coming back for some fine finish work.  IMHO the only lathe better was the American Pacemaker.

On edit: Just noticed the cam lock spindle, so its newer than I first thought.
