BROWN & BERRY RARE 6 STEM MARKING GAUGES PAT. JULY 7, 1868 RARE & CLEARLY MKD.
|

An extremely rare and desirable SIX STEM MARKING GAUGE patented by Oden Brown and Thomas Berry of Capron, Illinois on July 7, 1868. According to Milt Bacheller's "American Marking Gauges", the Brown & Berry gauge is "extremely rare, unique and much sought after by collectors." In attempting to create a gauge of multiple shafts each of which could be independently adjusted, the inventors created a five-headed monster that is on many collectors' list of the top ten tools of all time. Marked with both the patent date and the maker name, and unmistakable, this example is in excellent collector quality condition. From the Personal Reserve Collection of Neil Stoll, Dexter, Michigan.
