USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.

Patent Number	Date	Title	Name	City	Description
108,581	Oct. 25, 1870	Improvement in skate-fastenings	Bernard Gallagher	NB, Canada	See patent 131,948 for a subsequent improvement.
992	May. 25, 1871	Improvements in skate fastenings	Bernard Gallagher	NB, Canada	The inventor would move to Lynn, Massachusetts and establish the Gallagher Mfg. Co. to manufacture a ratchet drill that he had patented.
131,948	Oct. 08, 1872	Improvement in skates	Bernard Gallagher	NB, Canada	Improvement on the inventor's patent 108,581.
137,432	Apr. 01, 1873	Improvement in ratchet-drills	Bernard Gallagher	NB, Canada	This ratchet drill uses a grooved ball within a ring. The handle is attached to the ring, which has pawls that engage with the grooves on the ball which are longitudinal in extent and rectilinear in cross-section. One pawl is pushed forward and the other pulled back, which selects the direction of rotation. The advantage of this mechanism is that the handle can be at any elevation angle to the hole being drilled.
249,749	Nov. 22, 1881	Machine for shearing metal	Bernard Gallagher	NB, Canada	This shear is "especially adapted for the purpose of cutting boot or shoe patterns of metal or pasteboard..." This patent provides solid links between this Bernard Gallagher of Saint John, New Brunswick, and Bernard Gallagher of Lynn, Massachusetts. Lynn was a hotbed of boot and shoe manufacturers, and the Lynn-based Gallagher made machinery for that market, including shears strongly resembling this patent drawing. In addition, the two witnesses were based out of a Boston patent office and these men were also witnesses on the Lynn-based Gallagher's patents, e.g., patent 341,803. The most likely explanation is that these Bernard Gallaghers are one and the same.
