The Silver Mfg Co. – No.23 Post Drill.

2-speeds. Missing crank handle; foot of column; original flywheel; and possibly auto-feed lever (not visible in photos).

Not mine unfortunately. This was listed briefly locally, but withdrawn before the auction finished. The seller suggested it may have been flat-belt powered orginally - an option for this model.

Run of feed = 4"; dia. of spindle = 1 1/8". Drills to the centre of a 18” circle.

Update: Oct 2014. I managed to make contact with the seller, and have obtained some additional photographs, and a few parts.
