No. 293
Two-speed breast drill Rod-type frame; spring release buttons (http://oldtoolheaven.com/breast_drills/drillimages/twobutton2.jpg) allow speed change without removing drill from work; stained hardwood handles; ball thrust bearing; adjustable breast plate contoured to fit hand; auxiliary breast plate (http://oldtoolheaven.com/breast_drills/drillimages/AuxiliaryBreastPlate.jpg) can be clamped over regular breast plate for comfort during heavy work; three-jaw, spring-type chuck adjustable 0 to 3/8 inch. Cast iron frame parts and breast plate painted black; drive gear red.
Optional D-type handle (http://oldtoolheaven.com/breast_drills/drillimages/Dhandle.jpg) available 1922-1929. Identical to No. 29 except that maximum chuck capacity is 3/8 rather 1/2 inch.

I don't remember just where/when I acquired this drill, but it is fully functional. Debating on restoring. Is this sort of tool too common to bother posting here?
