Dunlap Lathe and D R Barton tools
Turning the pens and watching some other turning videos has got me really interested in getting my old lathe setup. So I stopped by dad's where the lathe is in storage and check it out and looked for any tags on it so I could look up any information on it. The lathe was my Grandpa's.
From what I can find it appears to be a 1942 Dunlap sold by sears.

The motor looks a little scary but the lathe looks to be in good shape

I also gathered up the turning tools. They are all D R Barton tools look to be from 1880 or prior according to the Davistown Museum
I am looking forward to getting this all cleaned up, and ready to use. Using the tools that once belonged to my grandpas is a neat feeling for me.
