See Pictures CE Jenning Steers Pat Arp 1 8 (1908) Dec 19, 1905 Mar 1, 1910 Some info about this bit: Originally patented by Steers, it was first manufactured by the Brattleboro Tool Company. On the very early ones the name stamp was a simple single line with "Steers" and the patent date. The fit between the clamp and the movable cutter was very close and probably required hand fitting. Sometime later the company was sold to C.E. Jennings (no relation to Russell Jennings). After he bought the company they added the Jennings name to the bits. Later they made small modifications to the name stamp and details like the screw point shape. It appears they reset the serial numbers with each modification. They later had a new patent issued where they changed the clamping plate and movable cutter contact area, adding a bevel to the top edge where the side adjust screw goes. This allowed a looser fit and probably eliminated the hand fitting.
