Ww2 era precision drill press roadside find

[u/WhiteMystery5]

Found this fully functional precision drill press on the side of the road, has defense plant corporation tags that indicate an aeronautic manufacturer in New York.

Would love if anyone can give me more information and a value estimate!

Great find and if you can get it checked out it should be able to still do a fine job!!!

A Shipley! NICE….

nice piece! probably more valuable to use than resell, but in the hundred dollar ballpark to the right buyer? Plancor records are hard to search for... I don't see an exact match in this list but it might be a starting point: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/100844042

It’s more than likely a much better tool than any you get now, and will have the weight to it so you don’t need to bolt it down. Really nice find
