I do not know if this tool had 2 wood handle parts (as most braces do). There are no marks or wear in the spots where these pieces would have been. I can read the following on the tool itself. Spofford Nov. 1 1859
Fray & Pigg Man (may be more letters) Bridgeport, CONN
11 inches tall and ~10 inch sweepIt was in my grandfathers tool box for years and may have belonged to his father before him. Some of the tools did.
Shipping is free to you. And I will ship USPS,UPS, or FEDEX whichever offers me the best deal.
