You must have gotten it Air Mail. hahaha! That is neat that you can still purchase these. I'd never have thought you could.

I just discovered that they still make this drill. It is a Stanley England 03-103 and my web searches show mostly England distributors. So I wonder how I got it?

Ahhh, wonderful! The bit of red geared wheel at the bottom is the final piece of the puzzle. --Stefan

I will be as direct as Brent in saying yes it is a Stanley hand drill circa 1970

IMe too I think it's a hand drill, a hand mixer would have two "legs", no?
Not difficult to see them here in the past, now a days would be quite a bit more hard to find one of them!

Used to have a drill like this, but it had plastic gears. This one dates from when they 'made them like they used to'.

I would guess a hand drill.

Not egg beater but hand mixer, from the days before the electric ones. That is my guess, wrong or right we will find out in a week! :o)

It's a tool of some sort only because of the Stanley name. My first thought was a meat grinder but I'm sure that isn't right. It's like I'm sure I've seen this, but it just isn't coming into my mind from my eyes yet! An egg beater? But, did Stanley make egg beaters? Good one for the them Richard. After all you helped me think of doing this theme.
