Goodell Pratt hand drill March 31 1896 patent date

Up for sale is this Goodell Pratt hand drill with a March 31 1896 patent date. This item I believe is missing the side handle however the rest of the drill seems to be in original condition. Look at the pictures and see the craftsmanship of days past. Below you will find the information I found on the drill from the Goodell Pratt website.

I try my best to keep the shipping prices as low as possible, if the actual cost of shipping is less the charged cost I will inform the customer and refund the difference back to the customer. If you have any questions, please contact me.
