PEXTO Braces - Another Type Study of Sorts
by George Langford
| Brace PEXTO-09 -
P.S.&W.Co. No.1002 Price: $40.00 plus shipping.

Almost all
of the
nickel plating remains excepting some patches on the spindle. The pad
is Cuban mahogany (denser than Honduras mahogany, but with the same
parallel rows of medullary rays); the wrist
handle
is rosewood. This brace is all original and fully functional, and wear is nearly absent, even in the jaws. The Peck & Powers patent chuck is unmarked, as is the Ellrich patent ratchet housing. The pad is undamaged and its ball bearings are originals. See PextoEllrichPeckandPowers063.JPG for an earlier mdescription of the same brace.
