Recently my buddy and I came into possession of a 40' storage container, filled with a ton (literally) of wood working tools. Among the mess of antique equipment was an old hand brace, hand drill, auger bits and something I can't find any info about. It works just fine but its hard to read any dates, says Made Stanley the rest is worn away only about 1% of plating is left.
I do not know a thing about it much less what its called? (or) What the approx date of manufacture is?
