Brown & Barry Patented Marking / Mortise Gauge The Brown & Berry 5 stem marking gauge is one of the rarest and most unique of all patented mortise& marking gauges.  The inventors must have had a lot going on in their minds or business to have come up with an idea for a marking gauge with 5 moveable stems.  I imagine many potential users could not handle the concept.

Overall the condition is very nice.  It had a light coat of protective finish applied 20 some years ago, but that will come off.  Super rare, and few known!!!
