Your cash register is awesome !!Just acquired this cash register that came out of a 1920s motorcycle/bicycle shop in Connecticut.

It's a Westfield built 20" frame bicycle.Picked up this handsome devil yesterday at Trexlertown. Had no desire to get another bike, have no idea what it is, but I seem to be drawn to the crusty, musty & generally forlorn.

South Bend lathes are great. I used to run one every day at work. Well made machines!A friend had a father who passed away a number of years ago. This South Bend 10K lathe has been sitting idle since then. Last week his mom finally went. He called me up and said, "Come and get it!" View attachment 991852
It's the real thing. Forward, backward, three speed ratios, plus a back gear. It had auto feed along the bed axis and in the cross slide.

The feed rates and TPI chart even has the British Cycle Thread pitch of 26.

Overall the lathe is in very good shape. No abuse and no excess wear. The ways still show original machining marks. A bit of surface rust has crept into the bright parts, but a little emory and buffing will straighten that out.
Just when I thought I did okay this week! Great score Jay!A few more pics:

Then as my dad and I are unloading all this stuff, I noticed a guy two houses down from me, had this porcelain top table out to the curb in the trash. So we grabbed it and carried it back to my house. Has two leaves that store under the main top. I have a similar table in my kitchen, but it's white with red accents.
