Can anyone ID this drill press logo?

[loosanarrow]

Drill press for sale, and I seller can not find a brand on it and sent this picture of the logo on the bell.

Interesting. Is he sure it is original to it? Almost looks like the left side was pressed over the pin. Kind of reminds me of a Nasa / Other Mission patch drawing.

Looks like a sticker on the front of a Delta drill press.

I thought Delta too, but op's has five vertical ribs. Delta has four... unless they made an off-brand.

Well, I recall the Delta Rocket launch platform used for quite awhile.
Perhaps someone was just having fun with that emblem on a Delta Drill press.

Interesting logo. Looks like it could go on a toy.

 

[loosanarrow]

i wondered if it might be just a random sticker someone put in there.
Thanks for the replies!

it looks to me like a random sticker put on. on the left side you can see how the sticker has been placed over top of the rivet. and rough cut to fit . It looks like the original plate is still underneath

It’s also interesting that the drive screws on both machines are in the same relative position. So yeah it does seem kinda Delt-ish.

Any more seller pictures? A side view of the head casting assembly.

Ask him to look for casting numbers on some parts. Under the table should be easy to spot.

My Delta DP220 has 5 ribs..
If I remember correctly the 5 ribs denoted slow speed and 4 ribs were for high speed...

Kind of reminds me of Planet Express... but they won't be around for 1,000 years.

I have never seen that sticker before, but what I can tell you is that many companies copied Delta machines in the past, I guess it must have been some kind of badge of honor, because the machines were so good.

Holy arc of shame! The drill press looks just like my Delta DP220.

It's a Buck Rogers - that's their "Hole Blaster" model.

I can see a little kid coming into the garage, years ago, and saying "Daddy here's a sticker for you" and dad proudly putting on the badge of his drill press.

I know a guy that have that rocket... Maybe it's his drill press... I would be careful about approaching the seller though... **** plugs might needed if you don't wanted to be probed and don't remember being probed.
here's him riding his rocket ship/probe..

I got “rust”

If it's an actual badge from something, could pop it off and look for stamping on back

 

[1982fxr]

Right side looks like the reinstalled the rivet on onto it.

Left looks like they pushed or beat it over top of the rivet head.

Then I'd try whatever the best vintage toy forum is.

I finally did the reverse image search by getting the google app thing. It brought up this thread. Perfect.

It's a one off, super rare.

Looks like one of ten million 1950’s rocket stickers. It was a big thing then. There are tons of retro style rocket stickers for sale now.
