***I have been informed of the following regarding this item by a fellow Ebayer: 1) not made by James Bee…made by Brown & Sons after they bought the rights to his name in 1857, 2) not made in the early 1800’s, 3) not made in USA..imported from Britain.        Product is an antique mid 1800s wood and brass bit brace handle. The brown color and antique style add to its charm and value as a collectible piece for those interested in antiques. Perfect for collectors or those seeking to repair or restore an antique bit brace, this piece combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless design.

****Good used condition.    No original knob.     Being offered AS FOUND for parts and / or repair.    Please see photos.
