Goodell-Pratt Company - Greenfield, MA


 
  Goodell-Pratt Hand Drill No. 53 1 of 2  

The drill shown here was most likely made after 1923.  We base this assumption on several elements described in Catalog No. 15, published in 1923.  However, the most resent catalog in our disposal is dated 1905 - Catalog No. 7 and the next is from 1923 - Catalog No. 15.  Consequently, we have a gap of 16 years and no information about tools developed during that period. 

As we continue our study of Goodell-Pratt Company we will make corrections to the current information accordingly.
