This is very rare example of a drill dated to 1906.
This is a No. 2 drill equipped with a
chuck based on McCoy's spring-less chuck adjustable from
0 to 17/64 inch.
The drill has no markings on the crank plate and the
crank handle is still a small "chef's cap" shape, used
on early models. Only after four years - 1910 - the
crank plate was stamped with a "Star" mark and text. The
handle was also replaced with an elongated shape.
The side handle is a detachable, mushroom-shaped, used
for the first time on No. 2 drills. It replaced a
"egg-shaped" side handle used on previous models.
Millers
Falls describes this drill as:
Rare tropical wood; malleable iron, black enameled
frame; large gear painted red; other metal parts
nickeled.
Hollow End Handle, with screw cap, shaped so tool may be
used as a breast drill, and spare bits. Removable side
grip handle. Cut Gears with adjustable friction roll to
equalize bearing. Pinion of Steel, Ball Thrust Bearing.

This is nice, early hand drill with Cocobolo main and crank handles,
finished with Tru-oil.
Smooth operating drill.
Identifying markings are place on the chuck and include chuck's
patent date and text. It reads: "Millers Falls Co., Millers Falls,
Mass. Pat. Sept. 20, 1896."
The side, "mushroom" shaped handle is a replacement. The
original handle was in such a bad shape that it didn't qualify for
repair.
International buyers will receive separate invoice with
additional S&H cost after purchase is complete.
