I'm uploading this because the shape of the head casting appears to be unusual compared to what is presently in the archives. The spindle running up through the pulley cover, and the belts remaining uncovered, suggests to me an early vintage for this size and style of drill press. (Mid 1930's to 1940's?) Beyond that, I don't have much to go on. The only casting mark I am aware of is D5 in the head casting. The spider hub might be but is not necessarily original to the machine. The pulley cover appears to be original to the machine.
