#206 6 inch swing brace
« on: July 06, 2012, 12:12:03 PM »
This is another brace I bought last weekend, the only mark I can see is No. 206 no other marks on the chuck or body of the brace. 12 1/2" overall long and it has a 2 jaw chuck.

On these earlier braces, the name is often in very light stampings between the knurling on the chuck.  A few quick passes with steel wool, very lightly, can make it visible.  A few passes with emery cloth and it can disappear!   I notice this brace doesn't have a ratchet, which could mean it was on the lower end.
