Title: Grandpa's Power Drill?
Post by: PreBelgian on June 28, 2014, 02:21:39 AM

My grandpa would really like to identify what drill this is. We have found some very similar to this on the internet, but not this exact one. A year would be great.



Thanks

1930's catalogue...

Catalogue 9 is dated 1912, and catalogue 17 was 1918, so they've been around a long time - there is still a company using the same name today...

You need to find cataloges from 1920's to 1940's to accurately date grand-dad's model - or you can assume he bought it new when he was about 30 to 40 years old....
