Parts #1 - This Brainard (unmarked) gauge may have been put together
from assorted parts and sent to auction. I was dumb enough to buy it.
The thumb screw is too short to lock it. Even trying to insert a shim
does not appear to be workable.  It's total length is 1 7/16", top to end
of threads.  You might sell me a better thumbscrew (1 1/2") or you might
buy it from me for $25 and fix it up yourself.  Any thoughts?

Hey Walt, I received the tools today. That mortising gauge is even cooler than I expected.
Thanks again the 9 and a half is quite lovely. Thank you for the super fast shipping and careful packaging as well.
Take care.  N. S.  1/7/16
