Goodell-Pratt Hand Drill No. 52

The drill shown here was most likely made after 1907.  We base this assumption on several elements described in Catalog No. 15, published in 1923.  However, the most resent catalog in our disposal is dated 1905 - Catalog No. 7 and the next is from 1923 - Catalog No. 15.  Consequently, we have a gap of 16 years and no information about tools developed during that period.  As we continue our study of Goodell-Pratt Company we will make corrections to the current information accordingly.

1905 - Catalog No. 7

Capacity 0 to 5/32 inch.  Chuck patented August 13, 1895.

This new Hand Drill, and the other styles and sizes completing the series shown and described on the following pages, make up out new line of Steel Frame Hand and Brest Drills.  In appearance we believe they are even more attractive than those constructed with malleable iron frames; the general character of the mechanism and class of workmanship are very similar.
