At that time, they didn't have all the fancy drill attachments as least I am not aware of any? Brace you say, and all along I thought you were only interested in planes and scrapers? I bought one somewhere long ago when I crazy about old woodworking tools. Good excuse for me to clean house and look for them. Hang tight, Steve, it may be a few months?

Yankee screwdriver?

They would look great in someone else's showcase then inside the dusty old boxes on top of my shelves
I really wasn't whining about wanting stuff to get free stuff, I swear!

If at any point in the future, you find them and are really jonesing for a trip to the post office, I won't tell you "no," but you've already been more than generous. If/when you are ready, let me know. Our address is changing to the new property next week.

I'd never heard of or seen a "yankee screwdriver" before about 2 weeks ago when I read this scan of an article from "The Woodworker" from May 1916.
