    Description

    Star Drilling Machine
    The portable rigs of the
    Star Drilling Machine
    Company of Akron, Ohio, date to the 1890's. They enjoyed a wide popularity and apparently fulfilled the boasts of the manufacturer, of which there were many. "Ninety-five percent of all oil wells in the world drilled by portable machines were drilled by
    Star Drilling Machines
    ."
    The second picture has a small inset picture from a  Star Drilling brochure and is for comparison purposes only - not included in this
