I'm on vacation with the family in the mountains of North Carolina. Today we are staying in Ashe county and stopped in West Jefferson. There are a handful of antique shops downtown, so I popped in to take a peek. Only one had a somewhat interesting assortment of tools to look at. I ended up with this Miller Falls No 1708 brace. Don't have a ruler handy but I think it's 10" sweep?
In great condition though, everything spins nicely, the wood looks lovely save for a small chip on the underside of the top pad. The jaws mate perfectly and still have their springs intact.
I was going to offer $5 but the proprietor gave my son an old native American spear point for free so I just paid the sticker price of $8.
