I think I have found the right place to ask my questions about this old drill. My father had this angle drill. Mine now. I'm unable to find anything on this. Has a 1/4" Jacobs chuck. Lever start switch and a adjustable (rotating) head. No markings to help with who was the manufacturer. Has just a 2 prong plug (no ground). It is quite heavy and really well built. This thing really runs on a high RPM's. Not a variable speed. I'm going to sell this but need to find out more about this to put a value on it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am no ways certain but from the general look of that, the shape of the housing, and the trigger, would say assembly line, even aircraft industry, WWII era.    If a huge company is buying hundreds of tools, no reason for them to each have a name tag with specs.

Older post--however I would concour as CP, I.R., Aro, Thor + other name brand mfgrs. all bid on large aircraft contracts for all the War years.   If you can find any C-xxxxx digt part numbers on the housing/handle if was of CP Chicago Pneumatic mfgr. otherwise you might have to look inside the body for any I.D.#'s.   Also some OEM mfgrs did use a glue on label instead of stampings.

Looking for USA made ratchets-all sizes-drives and lengths  also S-K SuperKrome wrenches ditto.  Like to trade vs buy run it past me-nothing is cut in stone!
