Description

This is a remarkable antique set of Russell Jennings spur auger bits, complete in its original three-tier wooden box. Manufactured by The Russell Jennings Mfg. Co. of Deep River, Connecticut, this set features a collection of high-quality auger bits of various sizes, designed for use with a brace. The inside lid retains its original paper label detailing the patent date of May 20, 1890, along with instructions and branding. The wooden box is constructed with three stacking tiers, held together by brass-toned latches on the front. The exterior shows a beautiful, aged wood grain with a rich patina, reflecting its history and use. Inside, the wooden dividers neatly organize the bits. This set is a fantastic find for collectors of vintage woodworking tools, antique tool enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add a piece of American craftsmanship to their workshop. Condition is good for its age, with wear consistent with use. The wooden box has some scratches, scuffs, and minor staining, but remains structurally sound. The paper label on the inside lid is partially worn but still legible. The auger bits show some surface rust and patina, typical of antique steel tools, but appear to be in functional condition.
