This is basically a 1921 frame model with side and crank handle
in domestic hardwood, stained. I finish it with Poly. The chuck
is a Ryther's chuck.
This version was produced from 1922, according to Randy
Roeder:
http://oldtoolheaven.com/hand_drills/drill2.htm.
The interesting part of this drill is the unusual main handle.
It is, I suspect, a cocobolo, but very light in color. Very
light. Another unusual characteristic is the lack of marking on
the cranking plate. I have several drills of a different vintage
with this characteristic . Overall, a unique drill in very nice
condition.
