Vintage Craftsman 13" Drill Press

This is a 13in. bench top drill press. It has a tilting table, 1/2 in chuck. I can't find a model # anywhere. Has been in the family for 35yrs and it was used when purchased by my Father. Would like to find out the vintage and value.
Thank You

Craftsman Drill Press Vintage
by: Bill Russ

I have a 1943 Craftsman tool catalog. Your drill press (dp) is featured on the cover and described on page 23. The cost was 38.95 (less motor) and was the lower of the 3 Craftsman modles. The order number was 99 PTM 2380. Not sure if the order number corresponds to the model number. It did require a war time priority for the order to be accepted. A 1/3 or 1/2 hp motor was recomended. Origionaly shipped with a Jacobs brand chuck.

Both Craftsman and Dunlap motors were available. Craftsman 1/2 hp 1750 rpm was 17.95 and order number was 99 pt 01956, 1/3 - 1750 was 14.95 no= 99 PT 01955. Only 1/3 was available in Dunlap 1750. Number 99pt05620 for 11.95. Also with only bushings instead of ball bearings no=99pt05583 for 9.95

Hope this helps.
