Help Identify This Vintage Floor Standing Drill Press

[Maui]

These are the only photos of this drill press that I have, and I will not be able to see it in person until next week. I am trying to determine the make and model. The seller says that it is an old Delta, but she is out of town at the moment and can't provide anything more detailed. I don't see any features that are characteristic of the vintage Delta drill presses that I am familiar with, so I am questioning whether or not she is correct. Does anyone recognize it?

Got me.

Also the first time I’ve seen a two piece base like that.

Pulley cover looks kinda walker turnerish doesn’t it?

Some Delta-like features; belt cover for one. However, the head casting doesn't look like the Delta with which I'm familiar.

That missing circle badge looks like walker turner

Pretty sure that's Boice Crane.

Pretty sure that's Boice Crane.

That's what I think as well.

454ragtop and Vol, you are right! It's a Boice Crane from the 1940s. I was able to match it to a photo of one of those drill presses from that era. Thanks for the replies everyone. Your help as always is appreciated!
