    Sits 40cm high. Its base seems to show it needs to be clamped down. All steel and no marketing of any kind

      It's a Breast Drill used to bore large holes in wood. It uses the old fashioned screw bits like a regular hand brace would use. The carpenter would lean their chest against the bottom plate to provide the force needed to make larger bits take a good bite while drilling.

      That one looks like it has sealed gears and so may have more than one gearing.
      Shroder and Miller Falls were both big manufacturers.
