J. Booth rose
pattern countersink.
Price: SOLD
ACMB-08
John Booth made
bits, braces and edge tools in Philadelphia
around 1850 to
1854 before joining firms bearing names
in addition to
his own, staying active until around 1890.
The present mark
therefore dates to his earliest period
as a sole proprietor.
This countersink
is in fine condition,
with a deep blue-black
patina.
