B&D-123
Price: $35.00
plus shipping
There
are three stages of development of this model, from this one, entirely
made by the Fray organization,
to B&D-118,
made by the Stanley Works with many Fray parts, to B&D-121,
made to higher standards of quality and marketed by Stanley as one of
their models. The present brace is trademarked Keen Kutter
under the E.C. Simmons hardware marketing firm's logo, stamped onto the
base of the chuck. It is in generally good condition, with all the
mechanical features fully functional, the rosewood handles looking
& feeling great (one crack in the wrist handle, securely held
together by its pewter rings) and the general finish mostly black
magnetite and gray steel.

handles were made from rosewood: |
