View Larger Image   Russell Jennings Spur Auger Bit Set & 3 Tiered Box   Description: This is a very nice, clean, early 1900's antique set of extension lip spur auger bits with the tapered ends to fit the antique style hand brace chucks. The set was made by and marked "THE RUSSELL JENNINGS MFG. CO. CHESTER" and so reads the light orange with black lettering label on the inside box cover. The label as you can see in the picture is about 98% intact, just a few marks from auger bits rubbing against it slightly, considered minor wear, nice. These are all Russell Jennings patern bits, all with the fine thread type lead screws and double spurs and twists. They are so marked,"RUSSELL JENNINGS" on the shank, and the number size on the tapered area. All but the No. 5 & 6 are the original early 1900's bits. The 5 & 6 are RUSSELL JENNINGS, but are also marked "NO. 100" on just those two. All bits are in very good to new, useable condition, no rust, no damage, nice! They are in different sizes: 4,5,6,7,8,9 on the top tray and 10, 11, 12, 13 on the middle section, and on the bottom tray 14, 15, 16/16ths. The storage case is made of all hardwood, with three compartments, one upper, one lower, one middle. The corners are all strong lap joints or sometimes called finger joint construction, in good+ shape. There is some wear on the original varnish finish and some small dings and scratches, minor staining on the exterior, the lower two compartments have a black stain inside, on the back lip and corner area, otherwise the box wood is in very nice, solid shape. The brass hardware is also in very good working condition, with some surface tarnish noted on the hinges and latches. A very well known quality tool maker, and a nice example of their product!     Contact:   Great Expectations Antiques Seller:   Dealer/Mall    View Seller's Policy Seller Accepts:   We accept VISA, MASTER CARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, PAYPAL, CASH, US POST OFFICE POSTAL MONEY ORDERS ONLY (ALL OTHER MONEY ORDERS WILL BE RETURNED), AND PERSONAL CHECKS.
