Comments:

I spotted this morticer at the Landsborough Museum, a small museum in the town of Landsborough, Queensland, Australia.

It appears to be a solid chisel morticer, equipped with a auxillary hand powered drill to the left of the chisel. There was no indication of the age of the machine, however much of it looks very similar to the diagram in the 1904 patent for a chain morticing attachment for hand morticers.
