for auction is a vintage, antique 2 jaw chuck 10'' sweep auger bit brace. I have been told this is an early Millers falls brace with the rose patent chuck. It is a recent estate find from a tool collector. It has a makers name mark, but it is faint and obscured by normal user wear, dents and dings. ( see pictures 9 & 10). It is in good working order, and the chuck opens and closes properly. The wood handles are good and solid. There is some wear and minor chips along the edge...s, but nothing serious.. I believe it is patented, but not sure of the name to confirm. ( any information will be appreciated) It is a good example and a good user tool, and will be a welcome addition to the workshop or collection. Please see pictures for condition. Ask questions before you bid. Buyer pays shipping with delivery confirmation usps priority mail. thanks for looking. The brace weighs1 pound 13.6 ounces as pictured.
