SPECTACULAR BRONZE FRAMED HAND DRILL

Remarkable and unusual brace. I don't know if this is a one-off but it is extremely well made with fine machining, finish and detail. Measures 12 1/2" in length. Shapely handle stamped 'H. NIELD' in various places on the frame. Like nothing I have seen before. The chuck end is as shown and may or may not have had an attachment.
