Help Identifying old metal lathe

[hades02]

I've come accross an old Double AA metal lathe. Tag shows Double AA Products Ann Arbor, MI. There is no model number on the machine.

Please help me identify this machine so that I can restore it. I've signed up on practical machinist for help but am waiting for account approval so that I can post.

You can't talk about Craftsman lathes on Practical Machinist. They are considered to be home shop quality machines.

I think the machine he is showing is pre-craftsman and will find favor in the antiques section.

It is the earliest version of what eventually became the Dunlap/Craftsman "109" lathe.
