Some information may be found here.

Without seeing more of the machine in the photos I could not make a photo ID in the listings.

There are also some publication reprints available that may help.

Many thanks Larry. 

I can post more photos. No problem.

When I was reading, it says Buffalo didn’t stamp any serial numbers, interesting that this one has 784 stamped.

I think I have one exactly like that. It also takes a square shank bit which I don't have any of...I think this one was called a portable model. 

ThankYou Smallpatch.

I would love to your press, to compare

Makes sense, being a portable one, with no motor, I guess farmers could take it out to the field.

That is cleaning up very nicely Tas, what are you using to do this?

G’day Cal

ThankYou,

elbow grease 😀

I have several different types of wire brushes for my angle grinder. 

And I also use a Dremel with wire brushes for the tight areas.

I try not to use chemicals, I reckon they ruin the nickel or chromium or whatever metals. 

Unfortunately the WD40 has made a horrid mess.

This one says 1890. WAR #4 might be the brand and model. Looks like the original handle,ha.IMG_1077.thumb.JPG.17eabba75035d9f79d119224f343043f.JPG

 And the wall mounted model if I didn't use it for a boat anchor its here somewhere..

She’s a little rippa Smallpatch.

Should come up a treat, with a bit of elbow grease. 😀

Just an update. 

Still not completed yet, due to in excess work other side projects and tendinitis 😉 

advice please. I’ve just about finished the drill press, however I’m not sure if I want to bolt it back on, can we have a vote on it? I will still restore the post though. 

Have a great night.
