"The Drill Press" This original drill press is made by “Champion Blower & Forge Company” (Lancaster, PA.) post drill Model No 200: has a patent date on it of August 9, 1904. I rescued it about 25 years ago from a field in West Texas where it was 95% buried in the dirt. It has been totally disassembled, cleaned up, and reassembled. I added a new wooden handle. It is functional and looks very good. I mounted it on a red oak slab 1 ½” thick and in turn, mounted that on a white oak 4” X 4” stand. It is now free standing and a beautiful display piece from the industrial period of our country. Total weight with the stand is around 200 lbs. It stands 6’ 2” overall height with a 40” base width. Price is $1800 |
