I have an old eggbeater drill that I can't identify. It looks very similar to the Stanley ones, except there are six spokes on the main gear, and all the spokes are straight, not curved. I haven't seen a picture online of one like it yet. There are no markings of any kind on the drill anywhere that I could find. I've cleaned it and disassembled it so far.

Perhaps you could upload a picture of it somewhere? We'd have a lot better chance guessing if we could see it.

Well, it's YOUR drill; give it any name you want. George, or Gyre, or McGyver... it can even be named in memory of your erstwhile pet termite.
If brandname matters, a visit to images.google.com with 'hand crank drill' as search terms might be helpful.
lack of markings should be an indicator too
maybe look at it under some other kind of lighting
uva aka blacklight or microscope
how worn is it
materials
casting seams
