Ditto on the 13" swing. There should be more info on the brass red enameled label on the headstock cover such as bed length. On the tail stock end of the bed there should be some numbers which can be used to ID the lathe. Since South Bend went bankrupt Grizzly bought the parts inventory and the rights to the name. They also have the records to ID the lathe, but they will charge you for the info.
Lathe value is a lot like real estate. Location, location, location plus condition. In the Northeast and upper Midwest there is a fair number of SB's ranging from junk to prime condition. In other areas of the country and Canada they will bring a premium. Take a look on EBay and Craig's List to get a feel for its value.
BTW, more pics would be helpful.
