This didn't come from an antique shop, but I did find it at a yard sale where a fellow was "cleaning out [his] father's junk."

It's a Cameron precision micro-drill press, and it's worth its weight in platinum.

It's an older model (Model 164), but it still runs at up to 30000 RPM, and it came with a lot of goodies, so I grabbed it and ran. I cleaned it up a bit, bought the optional retrofit clear plastic guard for the pulleys (30000 RPM is scary!), and have pretty well the ultimate model engineering toy at a yard sale price.
