158529 "Micheal J. Mc Evoy" <chewy@s... Mar-21-2006 Brace Manufacture question

Greetings Fellow Galoots,
A automechanic friend of mine gave me a brace that he found in the
trunk of a 1953 Chevy 2-door Belle-Aire that he is restoring.
Other than rust lock on the racket, it's in pretty good shape.

It's marked: POWR-KRAFT, Made in England

Anyone know anything about the manufacturer?

Thanks,
Micheal (It was 80-degrees F yesterday, 60-degrees F today)

In response to Micheal McEvoy's post:  

POWR-Kraft was a house brand for Montgomery Wards - I've got a tailed 6"
jointer from them that appears to have actually been made by
Rockwell/Homecraft/Delta around early 1950.  What little I was able to
discover about them was similar to most house brands of the catalog
companies at the time - i.e. they were made by someone else and stamped with
the Wards house logo.  Your brace might be about the same era as the car it
came out of so look for major manufacturer's in the 50's who were in
England.
