steven newman Posted September 23, 2016 Report Posted September 23, 2016 Tried to do a bit of rust hunting this morning. Knee was feeling up to standing around, and haggling over a price. So, I actually paid what they had marked on the tag.. $0.75 for a red and silver handle? Plastic handle at that. The red plastic is made from Tennite, something that Millers Falls liked to use as a handle on a few of their tools... According the the logo near the top, this is a Millers Falls No. 100 Push Drill. Next question is how do you spell Buck Rogers..or, is it Buck Rodgers? Can't afford the BR planes, but, I think I could handle this price. Supposed to have 8 bits stored in the handle. So far, I have managed to coax ONE out. Fluted drill points. I think I may have paid...too much? I'll blame THAT on this bum knee... Chips N Dust and Grandpadave52 2 Quote

Yeah, I would have probably walked away since they didn't come down to 50 cents, but since you were there and all and your knee bothering you, I guess you did alright! Can't say I've ever seen a Miller Falls one like that...probably late 40's to early 50's I'd guess...If it doesn't look right in your collection, let me know, I'll pay the shipping and your full original cost!
