Somewhere between $100 and maybe $600, depending on condition.

Picked up an 8 speed Altas 24", been about 10 years now. $250, including 2 spare 3 jaw chucks, 1 4 jaw, and a good sizebox tooling.

Probably $500, depending on demand in your area, and assuming there is not a lot of backlash and wear on the ways.

Butch, there should be a serial number on the top of the righthand end of the front way. I think the 415 is a 1935 or 1936 model. Check the link below for serial numbers. Lots of South Bend's on Ebay, some accessories like steadyrests are valuable too. The more tools the better.
Best Regards,

I have a 1949 10 x 36 inch south bend lath. It doesn't have a gear box. To change speed you move a v-belt to a different pulley. To change the thread speed, you manually change the gears on the left side.

No idea of value. Had mine for 30 years and only paid $150.
