I obtained this from a family friend many years ago. I was told it came out of the tool room of Holley Carburetor in Bowling Green Ky (I don’t know that for certain) The drill press works great and all bearings are in good shape, it looked horrible so I recently stripped it all down and restored it to as close as possible to the original color. The foot feed parts were all in the head but the linkage and lower part are gone and I decided to make my own. It looks pretty good and works great!
