It was made by John Fray in Bridgeport, CT. It's a Spofford patent chuck. If it's earlier it might have been made by Fray and Pigg. It's a great user brace- nearly indestructible and with the very popular Spofford chuck.
Lots of information on Fray and Spofford on Sandy Moss' page here: http://sydnassloot.com/Brace/Fray.htm

Not sure what I really expected based on that title, but I was fairly certain you were going to have a passage on taking your brace dancing, and to the movies.
I guess having learned the truth it is much less disturbing
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya

I never date braces, they're screwy, and they make your wallet thin.

When you pick up your brace for the date, don't forget to bring her a bouquet of auger bits. I have a feeling this little brace would be especially fond of Jennings pattern bits.

Never dated a brace myself. They just go around in circles.
