This is a good used 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 CONN. 32 1/2 QUARTERS" and so reads the black label on the inside box cover. These are all Russell Jennings patern bits, and so marked,"RUSSELL JENNINGS" on the shank, and the number size on the tapered area. All bits are in good useable condition, a few of the smaller ones have some minor pitting on them, none are rusty now. They are in different sizes: 4,5,6,7,8,9on 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, otherwise the box wood is in very nice, solid shape. The hardware is also in good working condition, with some surface pitting noted on the hinges and latches. A very well known quality tool maker, and a nice example of their product!
