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.
