Morning,
Again pictures of rusty old tools. This time I got Millers Falls breast drill. Needs little bit work, but mechanism works good. In beginning it was little bit sticky, but after couple spritz of MoS2 that starts run smoothly. Even bubble in level is safe and working.
There is marking over level Millers Falls co, Millers Falls Mass. U.S.A. No any modelnumber found. After looking oldtoolsheaven, I think it could be no 18 or 118. Size mach, 445mm (about 7 and half inch). Chuck looks much Parson's type chuck. Gear and breast plate was painted green. Frame color could not be sure. Frame casting does not mach any of those in catalog, but in ebay they are selling just same frame at models 18 and 118. And any other pictures in web are that same frame design. No picture of this catalog-frame could not be found, or I have not found those.
Any ideas, am I in right tracks? How about age? Any idea? Before 1917 if it's one of those two models.
