It's a 9" Model C Workshop lathe. Model C because it has no gearbox or power 
feeds.

I don't see bottom oilers sticking out the front of the headstock, but with the 
picture angle they could be hidden, so would top oilers.

The small dials put it in the WW2 or earlier era. The single step pulley on the 
countershaft and the countershaft support that's not hinged for easy shifting 
of the flat belt also peg it as a very old one. Might even predate South Bend's 
introduction of their quick change gearbox, in which they lagged behind pretty 
much the entire lathe industry by a year or two.

The Model A, B, C designations came along after the intro of the QCGB.
