Bottom photo looks like a wall mount Armstrong drill press.
Middle photo looks like a tailstock for a lathe.
Top photo guessing a variable speed pulley for the same.

That would be the "headstock" of the wood lathe.
 
The first picture didn't show. The second picture looks like the headstock of a wood lathe with tool rests laying around. The third picture is a tailstock for a wood lathe. The last picture is a drill press with lathe tool rests in front.
 
As others have said there is a wood lathe there. I have two large lathes like that, I sawed 4x8x12 for the bed of the larger one and hope to build/set it up this winter. Here's a link to a similar one on Ebay.

The first picture is of the headstock of a wood lathe, the second the tailstock. The last is a post drill press. All are worth saving. If you don't want them someone will. I would put the post drill up and maybe once in a while use it for fun, same with the lathe. It looks like the lathe needs a frame or "bed" of maybe two 2x6s on edge and a set of legs. Some of the other parts in the first and last picture look like tool rests for the lathe. Definitely neat old tools.
