Brown & Sharp #6 bearings.

Took another look at the B&S #6's spindle today.  Both bearings turn.   The front can be slid down the shaft and look to be in salvageable condition.  You can see the journals through slots in the bearings.  The bottom one is black maybe rusted, could be a problem.   The back turns but has no place to slide to.  The bearings have 2 deep slits and one cut through the bearing.   I made wicks out of rags to provide PB Blaster to the chuck backing plates stuck to both spindles.
