I got this from my Father-in-law in 1980 along with a Sears/Dunlap lathe (also posted on this site) and a scroll saw. I think it is the same vintage as the lathe which is 1940, but not positive. Since it's pictured in a 1962 Stanley tool catalog from this site, I listed the age as unknown. It has a Stanley 1/2" drill on it that is a Model 123A. I just finished restoring it and stayed with the original colors that it was when I got it (including the orange handle). I've only seen one other like it and it's on this site and was posted by Matt B as a Model 533 but appears a little older than this one as there are quite a few differences.
