Lucky day

[Branson]

Seems to have beena a very lucky day, remember the brace with a wing nut tightner I purchased at the same time?
Looks like it is a Fray Spofford  with the pewter rings  on the handle.  Dang !!

That's a good brace!   I have a couple of Fray Spofford braces, and have used them over the years.  Good and solid.  Both of mine are carriage makers models (all metal), though.

That's a good Spofford!
I love them. Ridiculously robust and effective.
Yours looks to be an 8". I have one just like it, and a larger 14".
I have been looking for a good 16" for a decade and a half now
yours Scott
