Millers Falls No. 18 Breast Drill

I bought this drill on Ebay for $3.+ $3.shipping. The actual postage was $10. A $4. loss for the seller. Go figure. The drill had surface rust and was coated in mud. The side handle was missing.

I disassembled, cleaned, derusted, primed and repainted in all original colors. I also turned a reproduction side handle. The built in level was in good condition. It works perfectly but I keep it for display in my antique tool collection.
