Need help identifying these old lathe legs

[bagged89s10]

Can anyone help me identify these lathe legs? I got them with a Craftsman atlas lathe but they don’t match any atlas legs I’ve seen pictures of. I just stripped the old paint and cleaned them up.

I'm going with a Seneca Falls lathe, or one of the other earlier lathes that morphed from treadle power to powered. Search out Treadle powered lathes to find brands that started with foot power..

no neat sig line

I was searching and didn’t see a match. They might not even be from a lathe. Who knows.

Are you sure they're from a lathe. They might be from a kick press, or other type of old machine.

Get them inside before some Hipster makes a table for his loft out of them

Bob, I think you nailed it. I think they are from a kick press. They are almost identical to the ones in this Famco catalog which is from the last 20 years.



Maybe the older ones have the circle detail in the middle which mine has.

Haha.
