Please Help Identify My 16 Inch LeBlond lathe & American Vertical Mill

[cooteman]

This is my first post but not my last! I have just inherited both of these machines and don’t know anything about them. What I need is identification, where might I find serial#s & model#s then I am hoping someone here will have some information about them. Take a look at my pics see what you think. Terry C. Identify

LeBlond serial numbers are stamped on the carriage near the cross slide and on the bed between the ways at the tailstock end. LeBlond keeps good records on thier machines but yours is quite old. They had history of mine made in 1942.

The mill looks alot like a Bridgeport, maybe a little heavier. Never seen one before so don't know anything abut them.

I had a mill just like the one pictured years ago but it was made by Pierson , one thing I liked about it was the long quill travel ,one thing I disliked was the .250 per rev dials.
