I purchased this drill press at a garage sale 2 years ago. I beleive it originally ran off line shaft pulleys, but am not sure. It has a foot pedal to lower the spindle into the work. The large pulley is a recent add-on from someones attempt at electric motor power. I have been unable to identify the manufacturer or when it was made. There are casting numbers on some of the pieces, but no names or dates. That is why this tool is so interesting - because of the unkown. I have yet to see another like it anywhere. Whenever I see this antique Jewel, it puts a smile on my face knowing that I own a piece of history!
