Quote from: lptools on January 14, 2026, 08:24:20 AMHere are a couple more from my collection . The drill index is the same model as the one in the previous photo , also die cast , and I am pretty sure the highlights are a copper flash coating.

I believe they are actually made of high copper content bronze with a black coating on top.
I've had this Cleveland No. 80 sitting on my desk as a paperweight for years. It has a few scratches on it and they show the copper color under the black.

It just looks like it needs to be straightened a little. The 1/4" drive crossbars are often bent.
