This was my grandfathers first portable electric drill that he used for work at Buckeye Steel Castings, I inherited it upon his passing. It's also the first portable electric drill made and is still in original working order and over 100 years old. It was updated with a couple added patent dates for the bigger chuck, improved trigger and final improvement and manufacture date of February 23rd 1926. Amazing it still works.
