Here is a few pictures of my old drills. I have at least two more braces ( I think). I have had the one on the far left for about a year and the other three I picked up the other day. They are from left: Stanley rule and level company pre 1919 brace, Yankee tools push drill/screwdriver, pre 1902 H.S Bartholomew hand drill, and a Millers Falls 322 brace. Here is another shot of the H.S Bartolomew drill. From my research the company sold out to Stanley (?) in 1902. It reads pat. May 24 '70 H.S Bartholomew Bristol Connecticut. Here is a shot of the Millers Falls brace. It is in good condition, the ratchet mech. works well, overall a very nice brace to use. I'd say the most fun tools to collect are the hand planes but the drill come a close second. They are pretty interesting and can be found slightly easier. Thanks for looking.

That is a nice collection you have there Matt. I have one that belonged to my grandfather.

That's nice set of drills. I can only imagine what it would be like to use these instead of power drills. It would be hard to keep it straight.
