Comments:

I was at a "Name your price" yard sale. I offered very little. It's mine! Also TWO 1 inch X 1/2 shank augers.

A James Swan co. I believe it is a model 6702 Angular Beam borer,+

Update: Rather than strip this bare and polish and repaint I decided to go the "Clean it, make it work and preserve it with BLO" route.

I'm very well pleased. Other than repairing a stripped screw hole (A longer screw will fix) and a missing thumb screw it could start making holes today.
