Just got this, early 50s, Craftsman  by King-Seeley.  with two boxes of attachments, included Craftsman stand and motor.    3 attempts to upload,  I find a minimum of words the first time lets it load photo.

I am hoping there was a chuck in the box of attachments.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Wow Wow WoW, I am drooling on my shoes here!
 This is a lovely lathe! Large, sturdy and vibration absorbing!
 But I think the accessories are even more valuable than the lathe!
 Lathes come and go, but the add ons that make it so much more versatile?  Not that many people ever bought those in the first place!
 
  The double tool rest for long work is exceptionally hard to get. The screw center saves you having to machine one for yourself. Extra faceplates means you can turn a platter and make yourself a disk sander in minutes. 
 
  Oh yeah, you are going to keep this one!
I'm drooling
      yours Scott

That handwheel on the headstock is classy!  Nice find!
