Following is short history of the North Brothers Mfg. Co., and Stanley Tools association.

North Bros began business as an iron foundry producing some fairly mundane articles in 1880. In the mid-1890s they had the good fortune to entice a Maine inventor of spiral screwdrivers (Zachary Furbish) to come to Philadelphia with his patents, and further develop the idea of ratchet screwdrivers. This proved highly successful, and by 1897, North Bros was marketing the now renowned line of "Yankee" ratchet screwdrivers, which are widely imitated and internationally known. Although North Bros had earlier acquired other companies to enlarge their product line to things like ice breakers, ice cream churns, tobacco cutters, and fluting machines for the textile industry, their real name was built on Yankee screwdrivers. By the 1910, their familiarity with ratchet design caused North Bros to branch out into the production of an expanded line of drills- push drills, egg-beater drills, and breast drills--most with ratcheting mechanisms. Today these drills are considered to be the most technically sound and mechanically innovative of any hand drill ever produced. Their quality could not be matched today at many multiples of the prices they now command on the old tool market. With this experience in the development and production of ratchet mechanisms, the next logical product line for North Bros was ratchet bit braces. Beginning in 1922 North Bros introduced two models of ratchet bit braces, the models 2100 and 2101. The heart and soul of these ratchet bit braces is the ratchet mechanism itself, which runs on all bearings and is silky smooth. The development of the ratchet and other features of the brace were due to a series of patents awarded North Bros employees, Thomas Fegley and George Leopold, in the 1920s.  During World War II, shortages of metals like brass, chromium, and nickel were in short supply. North Bros dealt with those shortages in the early 1940s by eliminating chrome or nickel finishes on many of its tools. So today it is not unusual to find Yankee screwdrivers with a brushed brass finish, or black paint over the brass. I’ve not yet seen an example of a Yankee brace with such a WWII finish, but to find one would not be surprising. On April 18, 1946 the Stanley Tool Works acquired North Bros to establish their entry into the spiral ratchet screwdriver business, and upgrade their line of braces. After the takeover, the North Bros braces and other tools were first marked, "North Bros Mfg Co., Philadelphia, Division of Stanley Tool Works."   These "Philadelphia –made" tools seem to have retained the construction quality for which North Bros was famous.  In 1956 Stanley split off much of its former North Brothers holdings under the name, "Yankee Tools Inc."  Braces and other products produced between 1956 and 1958 were marked with this name, and were still produced in Philadelphia.  Gradually, however, the North Bros tooling was relocated to the Stanley home area of New Britain, Conn, and on June 30, 1958 the "Yankee Tools Inc" name was discarded..  From this time the "Yankee" line of tools is marked only "Stanley" (in a notched rectangle), and the North Bros name is dropped .
