I 'think' this is a Millers Falls No.5A but not 100% sure.

Anyone care to enlighten me please.

Hi Hilton,
I'm afraid we need more images of the drill. Can you please take some showing the whole drill on both sides, the frame and pinions as well as the top handle. A close up on the gear wheel and crank knob as well as the pinions would also help. Is the hardwood top handle solid or hollow? Any markings on the crank?

Kim, these are the only pictures I have (drill is not mine).

Well, it's hard to say. The top handle fits the description for the 5A, but it would fit a no 5 as well. The chuck is seemingly right for the 5 A but the images aren't good enough or close enough to help with the identifying. Sorry.

Thanks for the effort Kim.
