Its late Victorian. Most likely in the waning years of her rule. At this time William McKinley was president. Surprised to say it’s about 1900 or 1901. In only 13 short years the world would be at war. They discontinued production of this model as it used many components sought after for the US war machine. It never again saw production.

That’s first gen stuff there. I’d be surprised if it still worked.

I’m thinking it looks like an M-12 battery like one I have for an older 3/8” impact, very low torque.

It’s for a screwdriver.. I bought mine in about 1999-2000. I believe they were made by Panasonic for Milwaukee. Panasonic had one that was identical just not red

If you go to Milwaukee’s website and type in the model numbers, it will probably tell you what it is

It’s for a power screwdriver that would bend so you could use it like a screw gun or it would lock straight I think it’s from the late 80’s
