Some of you may have seen my threads earlier this year when I bought lots and lots of cool old USA-made tools. Today while I'm waiting for the Super Bowl to begin, I'm sorting through them and putting a few online for sale.
This really old small Dayton brand electric drill is neat. And it HAS to be unusual that it was found in its original numbers-matching box.

Note that it has a "keyless chuck"! I found it with the original box, though the box is pretty rough.

This single-speed drill does work, although you can clearly see sparks at the brushes on the commutator. It is small and very lightweight. Really different!

The number on the drill body matches the number on the box it came with. That's got to be uncommon, eh? :thumbup:

Price is just $15 PLUS shipping. I like PayPal, but will take money orders or personal checks too. Thanks!

Those old sparky drills are fun! Love the smell of Ozone that they create. That's the earliest keyless chuck I've seen.

Hahahaha. Yeah, I like that old smell too. Reminds me of playing with my old electric Lionel trains, and Aurora slot car sets. :thumbup: I still have some of them!

Wait, so is it normal for those brushes on the old drills to spark like that? I actually ran across an OLD Craftsman about 10 years ago, I thought it was shorting out.
