Old hand power tools worth much?

[Zeke]

Saw this today. I have one, just wondering if they have any more value than being interesting.

No significant dollar but does have the interesting value. Missing the adjustable collar lock handle... further deduction.

Worth in the $1 to $3 range

I collect them. I get them from $1 to $10 at garage sales. There are some rare ones that get up there, but that isn't one of them.

A little more info?

No, not even in Hollywood is a rusty old B&D 1/4" drill worth $50.

If I saw it at a typical garage sale, if it ran smoothly and if the chuck wasn't rusted solid, I might offer $5.

FWIW, the old D-handle 1/4" drills are more comfortable and better than the new battery powered plastics at punching a lot of small holes in steel plate, frames, angles, and the like. I've got a Thor I use all the time.
