I posted this on the Practical Machinist site:
1919 Oliver Lathe - Practical Machinist - Largest Manufacturing Technology Forum on the Web
Might be interesting to follow to see if anyone saves it.
It would have a practical use to build wooden masts for sailboats.
The headstock and a few feet of bed would make a killer bowl lathe.So much timber, so little time.

These folks have a lathe that will turn wood masts and spars up to 40 inches in diameter and 122 feet long:
Wooden Masts - Spars - Booms - Gaffs: Custom-Turned for Boats and Ships
More like a miller head working on a slowly turning mast than a traditional lathe.
In post # 9 in the below thread is another view of the 62 foot Oliver from the Oliver catalog:
