Blacksmith post drill identification

I saw this Campion and Forge post drill listed locally online for $100. Looks to be in decent shape. Any idea what it’s worth or the history/ age of it? Any info is appreciated. Jim.

This is same brand and looks similar condition to one I got outbid on at an auction last fall for $50. Not sure on age. That's why I didnt bid higher, I was too u familiar with these to go much more on it.

Check it out and see how bad the runout is. They were never precision machines, but if its not too worn out, it can still be useful. The table is there, these are often missing. Just make sure it works smoothly and nothing is broken. Make an offer and go from there. $100 is not bad, but $50 - $75 would be better. I got this Champion about 5 years ago. Its a 2 speed model, a bit rarer. I cleaned it up and mounted it. It works great.

Sounds like the deal of the day. I have one that I have tried posting but can't get the pictures to up load. Mine has no name on it, but it's very similar to yours

So I just bought a champion post drill #106 on ebay pictures of it didn't show that the advance arm was broken and half missing, does anyone have a 106 that they could post pictures and measurements of the advance arm thank you
