Aquired this from a friend; actually the same person who I aquired an old Barnes Drill Press from. He purchased this many years ago from an antique shop. This version allows for angle boring. Photo's are as received. It has been stored on the second floor of his barn for years and though covered in dust and old grease it is in great condition. Once it has been cleaned up I'll add additional photo's.
What can be seen : the metal plate on the left front side shows depth measurements (will be clearer once cleaned up.)
On the back upper side appears to be an "S" or an "8".
Edit: Corrected Mfg date. Original entry 3/30/12
