S. C. Wright lathe

 
I think I found this lathe on Marketplace some time ago, it was described as having been built in 1883 and looks like a good simple solid machine. I was hoping to find more information on the company, there seems to have been different Massachusetts companies using the Wright name in the late 19th century. Vintage Machinery is always a good place to start. Thanks to JP we have a lathe clutch patent granted to Sylvester C Wright in 1867. US 63977
