Found on Craig's List. "Powr-Kraft green" paint still in great shape. Although it has very little surface rust the lock sleeves seem to be frozen for table, drill head and quill.

A little more research dates this as a model 593 beginning production in 1941. Table size and column diameter smaller than the heavier bench/floor 15" drill press. Made for Wards by Duro Metal Products.

I no longer own this machine.
