Of conventional design, this engine lathe might be of German origin and date from circa 1890 to 1918. is believed to be of American origin.
A second example has now emerged that, at a glance is a different machine by a different maker  - but, upon close examination, it appears to be a model made by the same company some 20 or 30 year later. The unique form of the tumble-reverse lever is the same, as are elements of the changewheels and their mounting, the spindle nose and it's oilers. The tailstock locking handle is similar as well.
