2/26 Purchased via online auction ($2.48), Waterloo NY. Runs.
Found the same model in a 1933 catalog. Drill must have been marketed world wide, note the English, Spanish, French & German language on the 'For Service' badge.
Both 'ears' of the D handle are broken off. Trigger switch hold on button does not hold.
Chuck was jammed. I could not separate the chuck from the motor to service but I was able to remove the chuck sleeve. Chuck works well now.
