I think it’s a dalton

I’ve been trying to identify this lathe, I found a piece stamped dalton behind the apron and it shares some similarities with pictures of other ones I’ve seen, not the best pictures but here it is

Daltons typically have “Dalton” cast on the bed. The apron looks like it’s a lot 4 or 5. You can verify it’s a Dalton if the tail stop end of the ways- on the very end - have a “lot Number” and serial number of the lot stamped on the casting of the bed. Not on of the horizontal surface like south beds, but on the end of the end...

You can get very detailed info on the dalton.groups.io email list. Used to be called “the daltongang” on the old yahoo group’s site.

I dont see a stamp of the lot number on the tail end, just the last picture i posted that appears to have DALTON stamped into the cast across the bolt hole. It appears to have other similarities, any suggestions are a help though. Ive checked out the group there is lots of good info on there
