For Christmas My Grand father gave me two of these that belonged to his Grand father. so they have now been passes down at least 5 generations of James Wright’s. I am about to restore them and just wanting to do a little research on them. I have not been able to match the logo to anything but my knowledge and resources are so poor. It any one has any information on restoring them or info on the manufacturer I would be extremely grateful!

Looks like it’s a Millers Falls breast drill. The word you’re seeing, scratched away, is “Mohawk”. Also on the label is written “Shelburne”, the town where Millers Falls was.

This page doesn’t have much about it, and it might be a different drill from the same line, but it could give you enough information to flesh out your search:
