Can anyone help identify this Goodell Pratt egg beater drill? Things I know about it include:
- It is 14.5 inches long.
- It is a two speed drill.
- It has a ratchet mechanism.
- Note the cast handle, as opposed to stamped metal handle. Many GP drills had flat metal handles where the type / model number and mfg date were stamped.
- Yes, I know the side handle (mushroom) is missing.
- The ratchet wheel has RLL stamped on it, maybe an owner's mark?
- The chuck carries the following marking:
Goodell Pratt Company
Greenfield Mass U.S.A.
PAT AUG 13 1896
I would appreciate knowing the model number and approximate date.
Thanks!
