Although it has no drill bit, these are readily available from hobby\/craft shops. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main body is made from steel and the handle\/collet are made from hard wood (probably oak). The end of the drill, where the bit goes, is brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill measures approximately 25.5cm (10″) in length and would make a great addition to a vintage tool collection. I haven’t tempted to polish it, as I actually like it with this patina. There doesn’t appear to be a maker’s mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDating back to Victorian times, this type of hand drill came in many different designs and sizes depending on the task in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are not sure of the exact age of the drill but it dates to the Edwardian period, start of the 20th Century, when the late previous owner was an apprentice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease click on the following link for more \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/collections\/vintage-tools\" target=\"_blank\"\u003evintage tools.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45563424669953,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/5122\/8972\/files\/Antique_Jewellers_Archimedes_Hand_Drill.jpg?v=1728554419","url":"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/antique-jewellers-archimedes-hand-drill-1","provider":"Mullard Antiques and Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
