I bought a shop desk at a grinder shop auction a couple of months ago to get a Buck 6-jaw in the cabinet. Among other items in the cabinet were were two face plate looking parts that have a 1.5 x 6 tpi mounting thread. There was a B&S #13 fairly close to where the shop desk was located at the auction site. Images of the two parts in this thread (sorry don't have images handy on this computer): https://www.practicalmachinist.com/...face-backing-plate-1-5-x-6-tpi-thread.403841/ My Buck 6 inch 6-jaw was attached to the face plate looking of the two parts.

Based on JohnEvans response I began searching for images of B&S #13 machines and came across two eBay postings of a part called a Live Center Pulley. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264829981614?hash=item3da918d3ae:g:0MkAAOSwU~9fNrhU Seems like a weird name but I have no knowledge of a B&S #13. Do these parts look like they belong on a B&S #13? And if so, what might they be called (if not a live center pulley? I'm just trying to find a home for them and if I were to get a portion of the eBay listing ask for mine, my Buck would be better than free. TIA for any information.
 
Looks like for B&S #13 grinder. Live center pulleys is the name. Maybe chuck mounts and face plate. Search for a manual and you should be able to find exact name and part number.

If it's threaded it's for live work, smooth bore dead work I believe.

Thank you for responding! As you suggested, I found a pdf of the manual on line with images and P/Ns of the two items I have.
