Antique drill press

[Rnannhall59]

I have a floor model drill press, circa 1929. It is a model 616 Buffalo forge. Any idea what it may be worth?

What's the condition? Any issues? Are you on the East coast or West? Photos? All original? Have you checked ebay?

condition, location, other factors are involved.

As far as I know it is in good working condition and original. I live in Memphis,Tn area. Not able to find anything like it on ebay.

I think it is intact, and in working condition. Located in North MS.

One like that languished for over a year at $200 in local antique shop. Its very nice.

Yes, it does look like that, but is on a base? Or is a floor model?

Price would correspond exactly to how badly some guy has gottahaveit.
I mean, nobody is going to buy it because they need a drill press... that leaves a collector or somebody like many of us here, who just like old machines better than new ones.
