From E.C. Stearns....
(was kind of hard to "pose" with the 10" Brace drill attached)
The "Business End"
Adjust from 1/4" to 1-1/4"....
Depth stop even has a ruler-like scale to set the length on a tenon..
Not sure who replaced the shank at the top...they did a real good job...more for a power drill, now, but seems to work in my Brace drills..
Yard sale find a few years ago...$1
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

Ya did good on price, I can tell you that. I've always wanted one of these just to play with but never caught one in the wild, at least not at a price I was willing to pay.

Tenon Cutter? Not really, they are called hollow augers.

Side note, I picked up a No. 9 ( upper left one in Admirals pics ) and knew it was missing a part or two.
Now I know what they are and look like, ( Thanks Admiral! ). Guess I will hold onto it and see if another one
pops up in the wild, eventually. I paid pennies for it and it don't eat anything while sitting in the
"box 'o tools to fix one day."
