Vintage Rusty Ratcheting Hand Drill. Measures 15". Seems to work. Very rusty.

This antique-style ratcheting brace hand drill is a rugged piece of tool history, perfect for a collector of primitive hardware or as a decorative accent in a rustic workshop. Measuring 15 inches in length, it features a traditional sweep handle design with a weathered wooden head and a central grip. The ratcheting mechanism allows for drilling in tight spaces where a full rotation isn't possible, a testament to classic mechanical engineering. Its heavy rust and worn finish provide an authentic industrial character that is highly sought after for steampunk projects, gallery wall displays, or as a functional piece for those who prefer manual woodworking methods. While it shows significant age, the mechanical parts still move, offering a glimpse into the durability of mid-century or earlier craftsmanship.

This item is vintage, over 50 years old. While it appears to be in very rusty condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
