Spent a bit of time, cleaning up a drill...including fixing it's chuck....The chuck uses a plate to push the 3 jaws up, and tighten on a drill bit..Shined up and oiled in all the proper places.. Appears to be a Goodell Pratt Co. Model No. 5-1/2 B....as it does not have the Hollow top handle. Later versions also got rid of that huge side handle. Someone had to replace the thread part on the long handle.....with a square-headed bolt that runs all the way through. I didn't really like the square part...a few minutes at the grinder changed it to a nice rounded shape.. Both pinon gears are a bit close together..with a cylinder in-between. Drive gear has two sets of gears, too? Then you notice a button....with "High Speed" and "Low Speed" engraved on it....seems you pull out the button, turn it to either of the "speed" settings, and it will Shift gears....IF the button doesn't get to the notch....drill will lock up. It took a bit of fussy stuff to get that button to move to each setting freely...seems to work a lot better, now... That is not a small drill, either....can be used just like a Breast drill..not counting a bit in the chuck..this thing is just over 15" Long. Chuck will hold up to a 3/8" round shaft drill bit, too. It also has the patent date on the shell of the chuck...and the name and address of the Company that made it. Need to put this away...as I have need of the bench under it. Also needed to clean up the bench.. And level out a few high spots...seems the bench top has a couple knots in it.... So..now I have an eggbeater drill ( Handyman 1220) that I can change the "Torque" setting by shifting the crank handle. Now I also have one I can change the speed setting. Seems I am collecting Goodell Pratt Co. drills? And, since Millers Falls took over Goodell Pratt about 1931...and kept making some of their drill models....Hmmm..

Stopped in at a local indoor "flea market" yesterday...picked up these treasures. Grand total with tax +$13 or $1.625/ea for the 8 items. The pruning saw maybe has been used 1 or 2 times. DIB price tag was $19.98. It replaces my old Fiskars pruning saw. The egg beater is a no name, but like new condition...wooden handle & crank knob, but nylon gears; the chuck is as valuable to me as the rest once I remove the stuck 1/4" twist bit; might be a good beginner tool for my oldest grandson? The Karbo-grit is more of a novelty than anything especially since in OB although the grit surface (fine) is very good. I always can use an extra 1/4 chuck key + the cord retainer; The drill bits in the wooden container Is suspect are from the late 40's to early 50's. No name brand. Originally included 9 bits but only 6 are there. No 1/16" Label is marked "For Hand, Breast, Post, Bench Drills. The X-Acto handle and blade is new although the plate has slipped in the back. The Copper rivets ~3/16" dia. x 3/8" L. Tower Mfg, Madison, IN; original price tag $2.49 I use to use similar to "roll" upper main bearing halves out; maybe make my own jeans now or something...lived in Madison from 1953-1955. The auger bit is #8 (8/16 or 1/2" by 12"L marked Van Camp (thanks @John Moody). Former Indianapolis Hardware & Tool Company Carbide attached particles to a copper plate attached to a wood block Cat #9-3002 Original price sticker of 25 cents

Earlier this year I made a sashay through one of the in-door flea markets in the "Emerald City." Didn't need this one either but I didn't have one like it so...it followed me home I think I paid $1.95 plus tax...kinda crusty...here's the journey through the summer concluding about a month ago. Thanks for looking. Dunlap Model 4217 Push Drill...probably somewhere in the mid to late 50's. Very similar to Millers-falls of that era and uses the same Goodell-Pratt style chuck (four flutes) used by Millers-Falls when they purchased G-P. From the severe oxidation and corrosion on the handle, I suspect it laid in water or wet debris for some time... More on the planes and MF 100 (Buck Rogers) in future threads...The 4217 cleaned and polished pretty well and I was tempted to leave it that way however there was some severe pitting do I decided to paint. Not an exact paint match, but I have several spray bombs of International-Farmall red which seems pretty close. Purists will probably scream...I probably won't when they pry it out of my cold dead hands. Cleaned up pretty well...It had 7-1/2 of the original bits...1/16" usually broken if not missing . Used the Dremel & wire brush to clean surface rust, then coated with Johnson's. Poor man's storage containers I'll divulge in thier own thread. SinceI don't have access to VCI paper anymore, I wrap with wax paper before storing. I thought I had a picture with the cap reinstalled, but can't find it. When I get a round to-it I'll update.
