Comments:

I don't when my father in law acquired this machine, but it was before I came along into his family and that was over 25 years ago. I acquired it when he passed away three years ago.

The badge states Avey - Cincinnati Pulley Machinery. It also has a badge that states SEMCO - Seifreat Elstad Machinery Company, who I believed marketed it. SEMCO did not come into existence until 1923, so I believe the drill was made in the 20's. It does look familiar to some drills made by Avey pre 1920, but then the SEMCO badge does not fit. Also it had to be made pre 1940, because Avey dropped the Cincinnati Pully name around then.

I don't know what year it was made, but it is a wonderful drill and works great. The only part that is not original that I am aware of is the motor. The rest is original as far as I can tell.
