This vintage hand drill from FORSBERG is a unique and highly sought-after piece amongst collectors. Its design features a whale shaped logo, making it not only functional but also a decorative piece for any workspace. The drill is made in Bridgeport Connecticut,United States, and dates back to the 1930s - 1940s, adding to its historical value.

Harold Sigfrid Forsberg had worked with the Crescent tool company and started the Arrow Tool Company in 1921. A renaming came sometime in between 1925 thru 1939 to the Forsberg Company, where he worked thru into the 1940s and died in 1970 at the age of 83 years old. Mr. Forsberg was born in Sweden and died in Connecticut, USA.

The FORSBERG hand drill is in very nice condition and has been well preserved over the years. It is perfect for woodworking and carpentry projects, and its compact size makes it easy to handle. This is truly a one-of-a-kind item for anyone interested in vintage tools and collectibles.

It's nice and tight fit with a smooth action amongst the gearing. Its solid mechanics will last another century or more, but could use a coat of red paint on the outer gear face. It drills wonderfully, we tried it out, and we thought of keeping it if she doesn't sell. All the pins are tight, and the wood looks good as well.
