US Navy drill press?

[Jeremy0505]

I'm trying to find some information about this drill press I recently bought at an estate sale. I've searched, trying to get an idea of its value, but can't find anything with the US Navy badges out there. Anyone know anything about this tool?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Nice old Delta looks like to me, but I'm not a DP expert. The Navy Bureau of Ordnance bought it new and used it for a lot of years looks like. Good find!

Sorry, I'm new to the board and I thought the pics would be bigger..

It looks like a Delta DP220 from around 1940.

Looks like a Delta 14” bench top drill. Missing the belt guard, so hard to tell for sure.

Delta would make since, as there were some other delta brand power tools there for sale. This was the only item with the navy badges though. Anyone have an estimated value on it?

Prices are regional.

Around here $75-125 would be my guesstimate assuming it's in good operational condition. (yours is missing several parts)

$50. at the most around here, just picked up a more rare vintage Delta drill press for less.
