i was rummaging around in my tool chest and happened to come across an old eggbeater style hand drill. original handle and works well. it is a millers falls hand drill No. 104. no bits were included, but the mechanism is in nearly pristine working condition. i have looked on google and found the millers falls site, but have yet to find any site giving out estimations of worth. any suggestions?
thanx in advance......

Check on Ebay to see if anyone is selling similar tools, see what they sell for.

See my answer to Herb Robinson re his Millers Falls Nr. 12 Drill. My guess is $5-15???
Maybe $30. The eBay suggestion will give you a ballpark. But I'd keep it! I have an old brace-and-bit that does not get used much, but I can get a lot more control than the hand-held drill.
I've got an old eggbeater (Goodell-Pratt IIRC) with an 189x date that I keep a countersink permanently chucked in it :-).
Some'a dem ol' tools are downright handy!
Don't remember the brand, but I keep a paint stirrer blade in mine so I can stir stain without blowing it all over the shop using an electric drill. Works great!

Larry, i'm a new woodworker also in auburn, washington. i tried to email you before realizing that you have an antismap address in place. just wanted to say hello and ask if you had a good resource for inexpensive cherry lumber in our area? thanks!
