B65-370 "CAROUSEL" BRACE. Holley Patent. Patented by James Holley of West Palm Beach, FL, in 1907, this thing has seven auger bits, plus a screwdriver bit, arranged on a rotating ring so you can save the 30 seconds that would otherwise be required to insert the needed bit in the chuck. Amazingly enough, it was actually produced, and there are a handful around, but they invariable have one or more bits broken off. This is one of only two complete examples we are aware of. The grip has about half the finish worn off, but otherwise very clean. Maybe not the worst idea to ever come out of Florida, but definitely in the running. From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 6000-9000
