I looked on the web for an image or a video showing my grandfather's 
drill, but couldn't find one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZOxfCDXqvQ is as close as I could find. 
It's the right style, but is newer, smaller, and lighter.

Sears had a habit of taking someone else's product and slapping the 
Craftsman label on it, especially power tools and appliances, so it 
could have been made by almost anybody.
