    This an unusual hand drill. Never seen another like it. It is a hand powered item that the business end rotates back and forth. not round and round.
    There is no indication of manufacture, however there are some faint initials(?) stamped on one side of F H O.

    Here's the usual questions.....
    Who, what, when, where and how much!

      It would be interesting to know what purpose they converted this tool into with that flat washer on the end.

      If you continue turning the crank, it should slowly make a full circle as it goes back and forth. Washer looks like it was ground to a shallow point for drilling something soft like wood.
