Comments:

I purchased this post drill press at auction. The PO was the original owner’s great-grandson. The original owner was Hanson Cook (1837-1923), a wagon wheelwright. Hanson Cook served on the Union side in the civil war, discharged at the end of hostilities. The drill press bears no identification. From the information available, I believe the machine dates from the 1870’s.

The drill press was painted as seen in the photos, in working order!
