Identify tool I

[Don Dahlberg]

We have a couple of tools at the NAWCC Museum that we cannot identify. The first one appears to be some kind of lathe or turns. What is it?

Just my guess, but it looks like a very simple drilling machine, assuming there is a taper or other way of holding a drill in the lower (left in the photo) end of the spindle, with hand feed via the knob at the other end.
