269320 | Bill Ghio | 2019‑10‑14 | Goodell Pratt breast drill N0. 186/187? |
A friend of a friend showed up w/ a couple of boxes of his grandfather’s tools. He was looking for guidance re. what to garage sell and what to keep as family heirloom. Lots of common planes and several not so common. Best were some sash planes by a couple of Philadelphia makers c. 1830’s. Included in the box was a Goodell-Pratt breast drill. A model I had never seen before and I have certainly seen my share. It had double drive gears and seemed to be a two speed. It was too gummed up to turn so I could not test. Looking at Randy’s site it appears to be a G-P No. 186 or 187. However, aside from the clumsy replacement for the breast plate there were other differences. I wish I had taken the time to take better pics but, alas, I did not. For your viewing pleasure here are my pics: https://www.flickr.com/photos/77280442@N.../albums/72157711337313431/wi th/48899251596/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/77280442@N.../albums/721577113373 13431/with/48899251596/ And here is the catalog info on them (you will have to scroll down a ways): https://oldtoolheaven.com/related/goodell-pratt-breast-drills.htm Bill |

"ratchet mechanism allows continuous motion in either direction without regard to direction crank is rotated” Very cool. North had a series of egg beaters/breast drills with a mechanism that did this, only it was just clockwise chuck rotation not either direction ANy picture of the “several not so common" planes?
