Comments:
Purchased through an online estate auction, Perry, NY. The lot was described as 'Tote of misc items' I had no idea it was inside. No oral history about the screw gun but it is marked Bell. I assume that was Bell Aircraft located in nearby Buffalo. It runs fine, the toggle switch controls the direction of rotation, while the large paddle activates the power switch. This model is in the 1941 catalog.
