I bought this from a posting on CL. The guy selling it picked it up from a shop that was closing some years ago. I picked it up for $45.00, and intend to restore it, including possibly painting it. The Montgomery Ward 1954-1955 catalog shows this drill (without motor) originally sold for $47.95. The motor paired with it, a 1/3 HP Ball Bearing Capacitor Motor, sold for an additional $26.95. The motor that came with this DP when I bought it is a General Electric 1/2 HP 1725 RPM Utility Motor with Thermal Protection.
