I'll get pictures, but for starters, you can tell him I have a clean, working 6 jaw chuck from American Watch Tool Co, NOT from Derbyshire, who bought the rights in 1918...
Markings are "Snyder's Pats Jun 28 Dec 13-1881" which are the dates of the original patents for these 6-jaw chucks. That puts it between 1881 and 1917.
