A short Rust Hunt.. - bandit571 - 02-09-2018
Only because I had very little cash in my pocket
Made one stop....brought along the Boss, just in case ( besides, she could also do a bit of shopping.
.)Soooo, for about $9.66, counting sales tax, what little treasure came home?

But wait, there was a "Bonus" of sorts...

A MINTY Craftsman #13 bit...
Got this home, cleaned up the bit..

Nice and straight, and still sharp. Barely used? As for that brace, I think it MIGHT be a tad older....

Seems to be a Goodell Pratt No. 408....

Jaws still have their spring. That Loop is a shifter, and came out about..1905? It determines which way the chuck ratchets, or center it up and no ratchet...
Not too bad a day?

Nice find on the brace. Thanks for posting. I had never seen the loop switch.

I have a Goodell Pratt brace like that ... was Grandpa's.
Patent date of 1892.
It's not a minty as yours ... but the ratcheting mechanism works quite well.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
