Years ago I found another Stanley brace with aluminum handles (B&D-11) at a shop on the California coast, but that brace had its other iron and steel parts galvanized, indicating that it was intended for marine use. The present brace shows no signs that it was ever even nickel plated, so these aluminum handles appear to be intended to render the brace proof against rough use in a shop or mechanical training class. It does have the Stanley Sweetheart logo stamped on the chuck's shell. Everything works as it should, and there is no pitting or mechanical damage on the metal, excepting one (?) wrench scar on the shell of the chuck and many knife scratches on the aluminum handles that will be visible in the images when they are viewed separately. 
 

Both handles are cast aluminum:
