I recently came into possession of several Stanley 02-742 bit braces. Here's a link to a picture.

I am having trouble finding any information on these. Anyone know anything about them? Thanks!

The reason they aren't showing up in the old stuff is that they aren't old.
 That said, anything at all with that much chrome showing???
You are going to find ready customers if you want to sell them!!  That is for sure.
 
 Besides, with the fully enclosed ratchet and contrasting trim these are top of the line. 
OH yeah, they'll go anytime you want.

Is there a way I can find the year of manufacture of these tools? They all have "02-742 No. 73-10" imprinted on one side and "Stanley made in England" on the other. What would you say these would be valued at approximately? Thanks for your help!

No offense, but you are on the internet as we speak (kinda). YOur info is just a couple of clicks away.

 I hilighted the "02-742 No. 73-10"  info from your post, right clicked and used the Search with Google option, which returned several  ebay results, the first of which was a closed sale (thats the reference you want to use for pricing).

I have a stanley brace looks much the same I bought it new in 1982 in England.  I can't remember what I paid for it exactly but it was probably under 20 pounds.

When I bought it your choices for drilling holes were limited to:  an electric drill, a brace or a handrill.  I also used mine for driving wood screws.

yup not very old really

Wait, what do we have now?
  You have a laser or something? heeheheh

 No they aren't old, but they -are- desirable. NewOldStock with all that chrome?  And nothing that good being made now? 
 Yeah, you are going to get $35 - 50 apiece

There are even more people wanting new tools than the best told tools.
  I know it seems weird, but its true.  New new new is what they all crave.
 Don't ask me why.  I think they are idiots.
  But its still true.

 For every person carefully researching and hunting great old tools, there are 5 buying, new.  They buy from stores and they buy from tool trucks and they buy from catalogs and on the web. Its the first thing any of them thinks of, and the last thing.
