I'm hoping I may be able to get some advice. I'm wanting to sell my dad's boxford lathe but unfortunately I am not sure of it's value . My dad has passed away and my family are unsure of the value

It looks like an early-ish Boxford Model C. The Models went A-B-C, A being the better offering with a gearbox and powered cross-feed, B having no gearbox but powered cross-feed and c having neither.
What it's worth is dependant on whether it's running, whether is has all the change-gears and what else it has with it apart from the quite nice Burnerd 6" 4 jaw lightweight chuck. Empty out the stuff in the cabinet and see if there are a bunch of extra gears and maybe a 3 jaw chuck in there.

It's pretty much like my cheb lathe, almost the same spindle adjustment with 3 pulleys and four mechanical gears, change gear power feed, same bad length, but mine has conical bronze bushings that you can technically adjust Down to 0.00mm runout in reality 0 with 0 will get stuck together.
Yours seems to be in pretty neat conditions.
I've paid mine 350 euro with few extra accessories including quick change turret.
I'd rather keep it and learn to use it, instead to sell it.
It's small robust and you cannot even imagine how many things you can actually do with a lathe

It looks like a CSB. If you slide the tailstock to the left there’ll be a serial number stamped on the bed which will give more info.
As above it depends what’s with it. If you’re lucky there’ll be a set of collets, drawbar and spindle nose protector along with some change wheels which will increase its value.
