    Default Electric Drill

    I am dealing with a deceased estate and have come across this.
    An electric Black and Decker 3/8 Drill, type N2. Comes in red metal case with chuck key, side knob and a few accessories including circular saw attachment (which may not be complete).

    What should I do with it?

    I do not need it as a working drill. Should I try and sell it and to whom or just throw it away? I do not believe it has any real monetary value but more historical value.

    If anybody is interested please contact me.

    I recall my father had one just like it when I was a kid. It looks in great condition. Some collector might want it. I doubt anyone else would. You could try B&D (or whoever owns them) to see if they might want it for their museum. The chuck still gleams like it's brand new. The spring on the saw attachment is shiny too. You could try ebay. Put a reserve of $200. Not that it's worth it, but to a collector it might be worth way more than that.

    Hell, it looks too good to throw it away.

    Here's one selling for $25. It's not a patch on yours.

    I took one look at this one and it failed the electrical safety test.

    Since my original post I have found what I believe are the missing parts for the saw attachment, albeit with some screws missing.
    Also found is some sort of manual or catalogue.
