New old face plate
A friend very kindly gave me this . It appears to be a face plate . It is 16" diameter with a threaded 2" bore . It is too large for any of my lathes , might be usefulas a drill press table . Whatever it is its damn heavy .

Hi Dave,
Its intended to hold thin parts for turning. Sometimes called "Wheel Chucks" ! I've seen these maybe four feet in diameter.Best Regards:

With all those slots I could think of many other work holding methods it would be good for.
Then you have the 4 jaw, bonusUsing Tapatalk

Hi Dave, Guys,
Somewhere I have a picture of a lathe that would use that type of chuck. But I do agree that with all the holes in it, it would be very useful as a plain faceplate. The problem would be finding a lathe that could support such a large diameter.

Found it. This is a "Wheel Lathe" The chuck is a six foot across version of the one you have.Best Regards:
