A.H. Reid patented archimedean screwdriver

Description

A forerunner of the Yankee screwdrivers and push drills, these have a lot of curb appeal (and no spring to poke your eye out with).   The fluting on the shaft alone has a ton of steampunk appeal.  Wooden handle and pad are in good condition with some wear on the edges of the pad (as is typical).  Nickel plating on the sleeve is in reasonable condition, with the usual amount of wear.
