Nice small drill press found from an estate. Now in the possesion of my father. There was an identical drill press listed and discussed before http://discussion.oldwwmachines.com/detail.asp?ID=26395
but the pics did not survive as it was the yahoo photo section. It has some Craftsman similarities but still not sure if Western Auto made these or rebadged them. Other Western Auto tools/items had the Wizard brand. I worked for Western Auto after college and found this drill press after I had left them. If you look on the square in the movie Back to the Future you will see the Western Auto sign. It looks like a comma (circle with a tail)
