This little item is the property of member Clarence Gibbs; I'm posting this on his behalf.

First photo shows the mystery item. Looks like a table-clamp drill press, but no chuck and no rotating spindle. Marked as "Millers Falls", with a 2/6/1900 patent date for which we could only find a Millers Falls breast-drill patent (#642,965). The second image, which is from a Millers Falls catalog, reveals all: the bracket near the top left of the first photo holds a breast drill to create a small but full-featured hand-powered drill press. Both the 1904 and 1925 catalogs, available on this site under the Publications tab for Millers Falls Co., show this drill press.
