Corner Brace


This was a type of brace used when a hole needed to be drilled in a tight location, such as a corner.  The design of the brace permitted the user to turn the handle through its full sweep when a wall or other obstruction might otherwise interfere with this action.  The basic design was first patented in 1884.


The Millers Falls No. 502 was manufactured between 1906 and 1957, and then between 1965 and roughly 1981.
