Derlon 1892 Patent BraceDerlon 1892 Patent Brace  The patent was issued on August 23rd 1892 and is clearly marked on the frame.  The Patentee was French. 

The nickel plating is well over 90% and it will clean up to look even better.  An opportunity to add to or upgrade the collection of rare patented braces.  A  rare and unusual bit brace in outstanding condition.   Nice!

Stanley Corner BraceStanley Corner Brace   This brace does not appear to have ever been used.  Look at the condition of the gold wash finish on the gear housing.  There was some light spotting rust on the bars, but the majority of it just wiped off.  The finish on the handle and pad are near perfect as well. Super!!

Goodell Pratt #279 2 Speed / Hi Speed Breast DrillGoodell Pratt #279 2 Speed / Hi Speed Breast Drill   This Goodell Pratt #279 2 Speed  Drill is very nice, fully operational, and ready to go back to work.  These enclosed gear drills are great users and never jam up or run out.  At the high speed it is a 7 / 1 ratio.  The slow speed is 2 / 1.  The 3 jaw chuck can hold up to 1/2" bits.  The leather end plate is nice.    The write-up in the 1920 catalog touts it as a great and useful tool.  Hang it, or use it.  Suitable for either.

McClellan Patent Folding Breast DrillMcClellan Patent Folding Breast Drill   This is a very unusual breast drill that has more features than most people drilling a hole would ever need . The most unusual feature is that it folds in the middle to either side.   It also has a provision to be used as a chain drill.  

Mr. McClellan was a prolific inventor of drills, both breast and corner, and used MF parts for many of his basic ideas. (He worked for them at one time) This one has been painted by the previous owner collector and all seems to be OK.  The crank is marked with his name and the phrase SOUND BEACH which was the location of another maker of breast drills, Adams.  Perhaps they worked together for a time.  More research is needed. 

Ready for the shelf or if your battery one runs down, for use.  Can you imagine!
