Was in several thrift stores and pawns this past week.  Nice Williams OEW,  goes with older collection.  The pliers appear to be nickel plated, no name or numbers.  An oiler, and another item that looks like a pump oiler, or any other ideas.  Then ran across this square, with a folding bevel square built in.   Careful cleaning reveals numbers 1-5, but no mfg. name.  A set of tapered bits for screws, and some tiny drills with square shank.  The brace is the nicest I have seen of this early style, no cracks or rust.  Total spent, according to my wife,,, too much!

Bah, what do wives know. Looks like you made out pretty darn good to me

Those Spofford chucks (on the brace) are so cool - utterly simple, and they grip very firmly.  Many of them were made by Fray - look for a stamp, which may be very light.
