Vintage Stanley No 915-8 Sweetheart Brace with Russell Jennings Auger Bit set

Description

Vintage Stanley ratcheting No 915-8" swing sweetheart brace with full set of auger bits from 4/16's to 16/16's.  The bits are all manufactured by Russell Jennings except the 9/16's bit and come with a Russell Jennings canvas  roll.
The brace is in good working  order with no damage or defects. There is about 50% plating loss. The ratcheting collar operates properly and has 3 positions  (Forward Reverse and lock).  The wood handles rotate freely and have no cracks.
The bits look to be in good condition.  I won't say there is no rust because I see a couple minor spots.  Most of the bits feel sharp and will probably work out of the box.  Some may require a light honing to the cutting edge.  None of the bits edges seem to have been tampered with and are probably factory edges.
The canvas roll is in very good used condition. It has some rust stains even though the bits are not rusty.  The bottom of the #14 bit sleeve is open and could be sewn close. The belt and buckle operate to hold the roll tight.  There is an empty sleeve next to the No 4 Bit.   I'm not sure what this was for.
