The Mitchell Manufacturing Co. primarily made "barn supplies", which are not of interest to us. But we have seen a small drill press with table-clamp that has this maker's name cast into it. We have not seen any ads or other mentions of this product so it cannot have been a major item in Mitchell's production line.
