Darrian Newell Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 The other day I was cleaning my garage and noticed what seemed to be maybe an antique lathe clamped to one of the topmost shelves. I quickly grabbed a ladder (excited to find an old tool) and while getting closer found that it was really an old drill press. It's called the "Yankee" no. 1003, is from North Brothers Manufacturing and has four patents on it, July 23, 1912/ April 1, 1913/ September 16, 1913/ February 17, 1914 If anyone has any knowledge of this tool or ones like it I would love to know, I cant find much info without paying some antique auction. It would be great if you want to share your old tool stories too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hohnstein Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Try this http://www.old-woodworking-tools.net/antique-delta-table-saw.html There is also another site on the Internets that I came across while researching an old Rockwell table saw I was thinking about buying. I can't remember the URL by if I find it I will post it. It had lots of information about id'ing old tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I came up with is a webpage on the Old Wood-Working Machine site that has 3 pictures which at least shows us what you found. It shows that it was Manufactured / Badged by: North Bros. Manufacturing Co.. You can click on that link which doesn't say much but it has a contact address for the OWWM Historian who may be able to answer a question (or not).
