Bakelite Drill Stand
My poor old demented mother in law has gone into a nursing home so my wife and I are clearing out her home prior to settlement of the sale.
I can across this old Frost, bakelite drill stand and thought I'd share the pics.
Now these might have been as common as mud in their day but I have never seen one or heard of them.
This one is in exceptionally good condition. It is a revolving type as well where the top section revolves on the base.
I didn't think to check to see if all the bits are Frosts or not, but I will later

In my 60+ years I've never seen one, so thank you for the pics.

I must have led a sheltered life, not ever having seen one of these before. Two people I work with both also remember them. Obviously I need to get out more.
