Circa: late 1910's-40's
Condition: Good++
Manufacturer: not marked
This is a nice clean pair of brad awls for one cost, both with a spring type 4 jaw chuck, and chuck sleeve, so you can put different types of tips into it and tighten them down. Very often users simply make their own tip to insert into the chuck for specialize use. Each comes with a small pointed tip, with a .1" diameter shank. The chucks holds tight. Both are 4" long overall, without the tip in the chuck. The handle appears to be made of oak, with a leather wrapped end, in very nice shape overall. No rust, clean. The inside chuck shaft is well attached on both and goes well into the center of the oak handle. We note just one has a little bit of wood from the handle filed away just behind the chuck area. It appears if was modified so the sleeve could be tighten down on a smaller diameter tip than what is in there now (.10" diameter), considered minor, as it doesn't effect use as is. A very well made awls overall!
