It's a two speed, ratchet action Millers Falls no. 97 breast drill. A real marvel of ingenuity.

Complete tear down and clean up...
You said breast...
Keep me a breast of this please....
Where's the clutch pedal?
I've got an old Crescent brand crank drill I use all the time. Lot smaller than this one though.

Looks like everyone is gearing up for this one. 
The title had me on pins and nipples, I mean needles

But does it drill holes??
Seriously though, It looks really good. Now if only there was a source for the artwork to recreate the decal on it :)

Detailed craftsmanship is to be revered. Detailed craftsmanship on an old tool that restores it to full use is a whole different level of cool. This rocks!
Simply Awsome

I take them to my all day job. We do a lot of rust removal, gasket scraping and metal work there. I like to use a scraper to get the heavy crud off. Then a die grinder and a roloc disk to get to bare metal.
I'll switch to a sanding disk, then block sand to remove the swirls.
Is it my imagination or is that a left handed saw? The finger groove appears to be on the wrong side for a right hander.
