There
are two patent numbers stamped into the shell of this brace's chuck,
one for the chuck and the manner of guiding its jaws, and the other for
the elaborate fastening of the spindle. Looking at Figure 2 of
U.S.Patent No. 1,880,521 on the left below, note the robustness of the
chuck body where it fastens to the wire frame of the brace, which is
much stronger than the spindle of a Stanley 2100-series brace.
Furthermore, in spite of the clunky sound that the ratchet makes, this
brace requires less torque to operate than the ratchet mechanism of a
Stanley 2100-series brace. The handles are both nearly black rosewood,
somewhat dinged from the toolbox, but still intact.
