Good morning, new guy here. I collect stuff, mostly original cordless drills, and I need a little help identifying a recent acquisition.
This eggbeater drill is very similar to a Craftsman in the 1948 catalog, but with significant differences. I have examined it carefully but cannot find any makers mark or patent date. I suspect it was a private label tool, maybe for an Ace Hardware type retailer. Looks like an art deco era tool, it has similarities to the Millers Falls 104 & 308. The obvious differences between my drill and the Craftsman are the crank handle, and the end cap of mine is wood not plastic.
I would appreciate any comments about the drill.

Pretty sure it's made by Miller's Falls, probably around 1950 (Mid-Century Modern).

#3I would agree that Millers Falls was probably the manufacturer. At that point they were making tools for several retailers in an attempt to stay afloat.

Looks like an early Makita to me.

Here are a couple of old hand drills that I use. Neither has a brand name anywhere. I inherited them from my father, so I'm guessing they were made in the 1920s or 1930s.
