No. 1201 Ratchet Bit Brace, Samson Chuck, Wood Handles This is a rare and rugged example of a No. 1201 ratchet bit brace manufactured by the Peck, Stow & Wilcox Co. (P.S. & W.) . Known for their heavy-duty "Samson" style ball-bearing chucks, these braces were the workhorses of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The 1201 is particularly notable for its robust construction and specialized ratchet mechanism, making it a highly sought-after piece for collectors of early American iron. Despite its current weathered appearance, the engineering underneath is top-tier. The brace features original dark wood handles and a concealed ratchet system designed to work in tight corners where a full rotation isn't possible. Whether you are a restorer looking for a rewarding project or a collector of primitive tools, this P.S. & W. brace is a significant piece of industrial history. Specifications Brand: P.S. & W. Co. (Peck, Stow & Wilcox) Model: No. 1201 Type: Ratchet Bit Brace Features: Samson-style ball-bearing chuck, wood head and grip Material: Forged Steel and Hardwood Markings: Clearly stamped "NO. 1201" and "P.S. & W. CO." on the frame Country of Origin: USA Condition Factual condition is "Barn Find" / Restoration Candidate. This tool shows significant surface rust and a deep aged patina throughout the steel frame. The wooden head has a prominent crack across the top (as shown in the photos), and the mid-grip shows heavy wear but remains solid. The ratchet mechanism and chuck are currently stiff and will require a thorough cleaning and lubrication to return to smooth operation. However, there are no visible breaks in the forged steel, and the manufacturer stamps remain remarkably crisp and legible. Condition: Used.
