WELCOME TO GRANDMAS_ATTIC1951 WHAT I HAVE HERE FROM AN ESTATE SALE IS A ANTIQUE VINTAGE ADJUSTABLE BARN BEAM DRILL, AUGER BEAM BORE. INTRODUCED AROUND 1906 THE BARN BEAM DRILL WAS USED UNTIL AROUND 1920, WITH THE INVENTION OF THE POWER TOOLS ITS USE WAS DISCONTINUED. BEAM DRILLS SUCH AS THIS ONE ARE NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. WITH BOTH HANDS TURNING THE CRANK TO RUN THE DRILL THE TOOL COULD EASILY BORE BIG HOLES IN HARD TIMBER. IT WAS KNOWN AS AN AGGRESSIVE DRILL. IF NECESSARY IT ALSO COULD BE CHAINED OR STRAPPED INTO PLACE ON A BEAM. THE ENTIRE TOOL IS APPROX. 29" LONG X 7 1/12" WIDE X 24" TALL. WITH A WOOD BASE. THE MACHINE PARTS ARE METAL POSSIBLY CAST IRON. NOT SURE. I SEE NO MANUFACTURES NAME. THERE IS A NAIL INSTEAD OF A SHEAR PIN IN ONE OF THE GEARS (PIC 7). THERE IS SOME NICKS OUT OF THE WOOD (PIC 12). HAVING NORMAL USAGE WEAR, THE DRILL OVERALL IS IN NICE SHAPE FOR ITS AGE. IF YOU LIKE DECORATING YOUR HOUSE WITH ANTIQUE TOOLS OR JUST WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION PIECE. THEN THIS IS FOR YOU. PLEA SE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A USED NOT NEW ITEM AND MAY HAVE SOME IMPERFECTION THAT I MAY NOT HAVE CAUGHT DURING MY INSPECTION. BECAUSE OF AGE ITEM IS BEING SOLD AS IS. DUE TO WEIGHT & SHAPE, ITEM WILL BE BROKEN DOWN INTO 2 PART FOR EASIER SHIPPING. PLEASE LOOK AT PICS & ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE BIDDING I WILL TRY TO
