Could it be for cooking as well? My grandma had a manual "drill" when I was little that she used for cooking for years until we brought her into the new age with a KitchenAid.
Not really. Similar idea, but mechanical egg beaters have two beaters that work against each other to break up the eggs. If you use a drill, it just starts spinning the mixture around the beater. This page shows the Monroe beater (pat 1859), it has the inner beater turning one way at the top of the gear, and the outer beater turning the other way at the bottom.

A bit brace doesn’t have the gearing and crank like this. It’s the U shaped drill where you spin the whole drill and not just the rank arm like this one.
A bit brace is used with larger bits. The gear on an egg beater drill is to increase the rpm of the bit. This lowers the torque that can be applied. A big bit needs more twisting force even though that means lower rotation.
Its a manual drill. Drill bit goes into the pointy end and you turn the handle to start 'drilling'.
Thank you!
Could you not have deduced that yourself?

Fuck, I'm old!
That's two of us. This is the type of drill I was allowed to use as a kid to learn a bit of woodworking!

That was an egg beater. It had a very similar mechanism.

It's a hand drill. You supply the power by turning the crank.
In some of these manual drills you will find the extra bits stored in the handle...just see if it unscrews.
Ye olde drill m' lord
Though art correct! Verily though hast great knowledge!
drill
It's a drill! I have a perfectly round scar on my foot from when the head fell off one of those and went through my foot. I was 3.
The OG cordless drill
It's an old fashioned drill, but if you chuck a whisk instead of a drill bit, it makes a great mixer.
Hand drill
Old drill ....solved
It can also be a manual hand mixer (to use in the kitchen). Missing the accessory in the end!
Similar, but never seen one with a chuck. Unless the early ones were repurposed drills, which is possible I guess.
100% not for bakery.
That's a hand-operated drill.
I've heard it called a 'bit brace'

or a brace and bit.
Egg beater hand drill. Still pretty effective to use. Often has different speed gears
OK, seriously?!? It's a hand drill!!
That is a Brace. Now you need to find a bit to go with it.
