239 Not much to look at but one of the few tools Terry had labelled as Gabriel, London. It took me ages to find the very faint mark that makes this   the earliest named button chuck brace I've handled. By the early 19th century, the Gabriel Brothers were mostly lumber and tool dealers , so this brace would have been made by somebody else before ca 1820. Beech with a lignum vitae head and a few age cracks. $ 100
