Outstanding John S. Fray #108 Spofford Brace – Exceptional Nickel Plating

This John S. Fray #108 Spofford Brace is a remarkable example of craftsmanship and design, perfect for collectors and woodworking enthusiasts. Known for its simplicity and durability, the Spofford brace features a patented split chuck design, allowing for quick and secure bit changes.

What sets this particular brace apart is the abundance of original nickel plating, which is rarely found in such excellent condition. The plating not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also serves as a testament to its well-preserved state. The brace’s ergonomic design and smooth operation make it a practical tool for use, while its historical significance adds to its collectible value.

Adding to its rich history, the John Fray Company was acquired by Stanley in 1909. Stanley continued to produce braces under the Fray name for around a decade, occasionally marking them with both brands. By the 1920s, Stanley shifted to marking these braces exclusively with its own name, solidifying their place in the Stanley catalog.

Whether you’re a tool collector or a craftsman seeking a reliable and visually striking brace, this John S. Fray #108 is a standout piece that combines functionality with timeless charm.
