I need help identifying a drill press

I picked up this drill press a while back for $35 and it had an old quarter horsepower Packard motor. It didn't work at the time and it still doesn't but I think it's missing some parts and I don't know the manufacturer. There appears to be a missing 2" round metal brand tag on the left side that was held on with three screws.
Can anyone out there help me identify it?

Nice job on your drill press restoration! I have to agree with you, I believe it is an Atlas or possibly a Dunlop. It looks similar but there are some differences to photos I've seen online including yours.

Nice little machine. Enjoy restoring it.
I have some trouble, as well identifying drill presses.
Here's one way that I use that sometimes works. Go to vintage machinery and select DRILL PRESS from the drop down menu and start looking for something that matches. In this case, start with the Dunlop, Champion and Atlas types. Good luck!
Vintage Machinery - sort by machine type

Sorry, I should have clarified. That is not my drill press - it's just one that I found on vintagemachinery.org that looks the closest to yours.
