Stanley
No.
813 concealed ratchet,
ball bearing
chuck
brace.
Price: SOLD.
B&D-04
This was one of
Stanley's premier braces.
The heavy duty
ball bearing chuck
bears a patent
date of June 20, 1916,
granted to E.A.
Schade.
Condition is
mechanically
excellent but visually tatty;
the nickel
plating
is actively peeling. The appearance would
benefit from
stripping
of the remaining scabs
and a rubdown
with
0000 grade steel wool.
The tropical
wood
handles are in good shape, though.
