Welcome to the forum.
Its pre 1956 at the very least and could be as old as 1930's
Definitely a conversation piece rather than a user.
I found that sight already, but thanks for the info. All the images I have seen are not the model I currently have. The power switch is located differently and the name plate( manufacturer) is located in different spot. Stumped for sure , I will keep searching hopefully I stumble onto something.

I don't think I'm mistaken but I do believe I saw that in a picture a few years back. It was clearly in the holster on the hip of a gunslinger that had just ridden into Abilene one afternoon. And that's a fact!!
All you need to do is install a new three prong cord. It's easy to find a place to attach the ground, green one for those that have never opened up an electrical device. That and a GFIC, as we all should be using and your good to go.It might work, but I wouldnt use it unless I had insulated gloves on.

That is a very nice inline GFCI. When I built my shop I hardwired GFCI combination circuit breakers on the outlet circuits. As well as a AFCI protection.
Hey, My neighbor had one back in the 50s. He also had a big heavy T handled one that turned at about 9 RPM or so it seamed. It had a ton of torque but turned so slow that even with a self feed auger bit, it took forever to drill a hole in wood and even days to drill in steel, unless you drilled a really big pilot hole first. Then you'd need two men to hold the T handle.
Thank goodness for all the improvements in power tools especially cordless tools with keyless chucks. In my early cabinet shop days we had a couple of corded Makita 3/8 variable speed drills. They worked great for drilling and turning all the screws but we'd wear out the chucks in a mater of months.
