Folks: I've posted some pictures and description in the Classic Power Tools forum, of an unknown brand of drill.  In this instance, I know WHAT it is, but don't have a clue as to who made it.  What's-It Forum folks seemed like the best-qualified group to help.  Please take a look: I would greatly appreciate any possible help in identifying this one.  THANKS!

Sort of like an ice wrench on a frozen pond?

Are you sure that is an ice wrench?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Well, it IS hard to be certain - they can be such slippery little devils . . . (yet, I've found the type shown is usually easy to pick up and hold onto!)

My wife makes a little Christmas money selling woolen mittens on eBay to ice wrench users.

FWIW, and for anyone who hasn't re-checked the main thread on this item, I believe that I have found it: it is a Thor Model 910, as seen in an on-line auction ad.  I had decided that the styling, color, handle-to-housing details, etc., made Thor a likely brand.  I then searched Thor images, and eventually located one that seems to match. (but I am NOT complaining because this thread seems to have gone into a humorous direction!)
