Item Details

A vintage Champion Blower & Forge Company industrial drill press from the early 1900s. Founded 1875 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the Champion Blower & Forge Company was the brainchild of Henry Keiper who, at a mere 16 years old, invented a novel rotary blower to fan the fires in a blacksmith forge. This drill press was manufactured between 1900-1949. The solid iron and steel drill press is attached to a thick oak plank for mounting on a wall.
