My old Craftsman Drill

(1/2) > >>

Rewind:
Last year the house across the street from us had an estate sale. The husband had passed years ago and the wife passed at 104 last year. I started not to go because the couple had been a well-to-do socialite type, she had been a runway model back in the 20's, he was a professor. I decided to go over anyway cause it was just across the street. As I'm about to leave I see this box out on the back porch, open her up and low and behold this gem is looking back at me!!! I'm not a collector by any means but I couldn't let this one walk away. I took it to the check out table, it had a $15 sticker on it. The lady looked at it and said....."That's too much for that old thing, how about $10!!! SOLD!!!! I don't think it's ever been used.

goodfellow:
That should be in a museum -- put it away for posterity. Very few pristine examples like that left in the world

J.A.F.E.:
Very nice. Those were good drill motors.
