Anyone know their breast drills, I have these 2 that are unmarked.

Consider this a bump. I've never seen one like that before. Does the end rotate 360 degrees? Why I ask it that some were made for seating valves in old vehicles and they rotated back and forth.

They turn like normal breast drills do. I have several valve grinders like you're speaking of and they're definitely not those.

A.W. Whitney & Co. of Woodstock, Vt.(?) The company was apparently later bought by Peck, Stow & Wilcox.


Your examples seem earlier.

I have one someplace. Used it a long time ago to boreholes in timbers.
I believe they were a standard shipwrights tool. Saw them in the Maritime museum in Bath, Maine.
