Patent Number	Date	Title	Name	City	Description
45,055	Nov. 15, 1864	Improvement in miter-boxes	L. W. Langdon	Northampton, MA	This saw was pictured in an ad from Northampton Pegging Machine Co. in the December 1875 Manufacturing & Builder; the January 1873 issue had an article on the miter box. The April 1876 issued carried a notice of the name and location change; Langdon had gone into partnership with Millers Falls Co. and they had set up a new company to make the miter box. Apparently Langdon Mitre-Box Co. and Millers Falls Co. shared employees. The December 1876 issue of M&B. carried an ad from the new company's products: "Made in four sizes, and supplied with Disston & Son's Saws. See also the patent reissue, 5,037, and the improved versions in patents 151,139 and 220,732. Thanks to Jeff Burks for providing the manufacturer information and the M&B references.
63,944	Apr. 16, 1867	Bit-stocks	Clemens B. Rose	Sunderland, MA	The example shown is actually a bit brace extension. It is marked on the shaft, "PAT'D APR 16.67 / BITSTOCK CO. / GREENFIELD MS". The chuck itself is unmarked.
73,279	Jan. 14, 1868	Bit-stock	Charles H. Amidon	Greenfield, MA	A tool-handle with this patent is reported; the only marking is the patent date. Another is reported marked as follows: "Millers Falls, Greenfield, MA, Pat'd Jan 14, 1868". The latter example has a rosewood handle with nine tools in the handle. The brace gets a "C" rarity rating from Pearson.
D3,130	Jul. 28, 1868	Design for a vise	Quimby S. Backus	Winchendon, MA
91,068	Jun. 08, 1869	Improved vise	Quimby S. Backus	Winchendon, MA	"The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a vise, which can be secured to the table or bench in any desired position..." See the writeup on Backus accompanying patent 132,791.
91,150	Jun. 08, 1869	Tool For Cutting Glass	Samuel G. Monce	Bristol, CT	Monce's patent introduces the hard steel wedge-shaped wheel at the tip of a glass cutter. The patent was also "folded" into a variety of combination tools. One example is no. 140,426. Another variant includes a corkscrew.
95,392	Sep. 28, 1869	Improved Vise	W. X. Stevens	East Brookfield, MA	Parallel jawed hand vise as well as the tang allows it to be used as a self centering drill chuck for either a bit stock or lathe.
101,466	Apr. 05, 1870	Improved hand drilling-machine	James E. Hunter	North Adams, MA
118,039	Aug. 15, 1871	Bit-stock	William H. McCoy	Erving, MA

129,508	Jul. 16, 1872	Improvement in Planes	Levi A. Alexander	Pittsfield, MA	The jointer fence provides a graduated quadrant, and a thumbscrew to fasten it to a desired angle.
132,790	Nov. 05, 1872	Improvement in bit-stocks	Quimby S. Backus	Millers Falls, MA	"The nature of my invention consists in the devices for holding a bit-brace for boring at an angle firmly at the desired angle..." See the writeup on Backus accompanying patent 132,791.
139,667	Jun. 10, 1873	Improvement in bit-stocks	Albert D. Goodell	Millers Falls, MA
140,426	Jul. 01, 1873	Glazier's Tools	Samuel G. Monce	Bristol, CT	The tool combines wheel type glass cutter, putty knife, and notches for "nibbling" and working glass. The wheel glass cutter refers to Monce's June 8, 1869 patent (no. 91,150). Another variant is a combination tool that includes a corkscrew.
141,345	Jul. 29, 1873	Improvement in bit-stocks	Albert D. Goodell	Millers Falls, MA
RE6,350	Mar. 23, 1875	Improvement in bit-braces	Charles H. Stockbridge	Whately, MA
177,659	May. 23, 1876	Improvement in Scroll Saw Frames	Henry L. Pratt	Brooklyn, NY
194,109	Aug. 14, 1877	Improvement in Drill-Chucks	Henry L. Pratt	Brooklyn, NY	Pratt summarizes the claims for this patent: "The combination of the slotted body A and shell D, secured rigidly thereon, with the jaws CC, capable of free and independent movement in the slot a, and screw-threaded spindle B, which acts against the bases of the jaws, and closes them by forcing them forward and their inclined sides against the shell D ... ." Figure 6 (jpg 2) purports to show how the loose jaws allow this chuck to also grip tapered square bit tangs. A known example, mounted on an archimedean drill, is marked: MILLERS FALLS CO. PAT'D AUG 14, 1877
218,002	Jul. 29, 1879	Metal-Drilling Machine	Henry Ducsh	Baltimore, MD
220,732	Oct. 21, 1879	Improvement in miter-boxes	Albert D. Goodell	Erving, MA
		Improvement in miter-boxes	David C. Rogers	Greenfield, MA
228,810	Jun. 15, 1880	Ratchet bit-brace	Albert D. Goodell	Millers Falls, MA
228,811	Jun. 15, 1880	Bit-brace	Albert D. Goodell	Millers Falls, MA
229,197	Jun. 22, 1880	Bit-brace	Henry L. Stevens	Millers Falls, MA
250,670	Dec. 13, 1881	Bit and drill stock	Wallace Lyon	Bridgeport, CT
264,766	Sep. 19, 1882	Miter Planer	David C. Rogers	Greenfield, MA	The claim is to the movable quadrant. Rogers Patent Mitre Planers are well loved by their owners. They are far safer than the Lion Trimmer guillotine type of trimmers, and they will trim both left and right hand miters, which the Stanley No. 51/52 board and plane will not. They were made in three sizes as advertised in the Millers Falls, Langdon Mitre Box price list from circa 1900: "The number of the Mitre Planer will indicate the width of the cutting iron: No. 2 has cutting iron 2 inches wide, price . . . . $20.00 No. 3 1/2 has cutting iron 3 1/2 inches wide, price . . . . $25.00 No. 4 has cutting iron 4 inches wide, price . . . . $30.00 They are the result of many years' experience in this special department, and are adjustable to any angle in straight or curved work. THE ROGERS MITRE PLANER PATENTED SEPTEMBER 19, 1882 The upper or movable bed plate is in quadrant form, having, at right angles, sides which act as guides for the material to be planed, and revolving on a pivot, A, at the point, enables the user to form the desired angle for straight work. and place it in its proper position against the face of the plane. In the sides of the Quadrant are two adjustable guides, or rests, kept in position by set screws, D.D. The special object of these rests is to enable one to finish the ends et angles on curved work with exactness. In preparing pieces for circular or oval work, frames, pulleys, emery wheel, circular patterns, etc., it is necessary to plane the ends of the various segments at varying angles. In planing these the point of the quadrant near the plane and the adjustable guides form the rests required for accurate work. The Quadrant is kept in position at any angle desired by pressing the catch, C. down into the notches prepared for it, or by the thumb-screw, B, and can be used in connection with the arms or guides as desired. Mitre Planers, as heretofore constructed, are open to serious complaint, on account of the tendency of the plane to "jump" or leave the track, especially in planing hard moldings. This is entirely obviated by our new device of GIB or BINDER, without additional cost, thus making it the best and cheapest machine in the market, all things considered."
272,903	Feb. 27, 1883	Mitering-machine	David C. Rogers	Greenfield, MA	This was the "Improved Langdon" miter box, that improved on the design of patent 220,732. It was improved once more to make the "New Improved Langdon" which was manufactured for over 40 years. We have not found a patent for the New Improved model. The Improved Langdon was featured in an article in the January 1887 issue of Manufacturer & Builder, and was still manufactured for a few years after the New Improved Langdon was introduced--even the original Langdon and the New Langdon were still available.
293,651	Feb. 19, 1884	Spokeshave	Albert D. Goodell	Millers Falls, MA	Miller's Falls No 1 "Cigar" spokeshave with circular cutter and detachable handles. Design allows screws to hold blade without interference to the work. Albert D. Goodell later went on to form Goodell Bros with his brother Henry and sold his interest in the company. This company became Goodell Pratt Co when William Pratt bought out the company. Later in 1931, Goodell Pratt Co was bought out by Miller Falls completing the cycle.
295,178	Mar. 18, 1884	Combined bench dog and clamp	Charles C. Johnson	Springfield, VT
330,104	Nov. 10, 1885	Handsaw	Alfred Fornander	Brooklyn, NY	Apparently examples of this saw do not match the patent drawing.
332,391	Dec. 15, 1885	Scroll-sawing machine	Albert D. Goodell	Millers Falls, MA	This patent covers an improved blade-holding mechanism.
419,703	Jan. 21, 1890	Spirit Level for Bit Braces	Joseph McLaughlin	Erving, MA	Spirit level in the head of a brace bit with two bubble for both level and plumb. Millers Falls appears to have purchased this patent and utilized it on their breast drill line without the mounting of the level in the handle. They instead utilized a single spirit vial mounted on the frame with some of their breast drill models.
421,420	Feb. 18, 1890	Jaws of bit-braces and tool holders	William H. McCoy	Erving, MA
438,860	Oct. 21, 1890	Auger-Handle	Henry L. Pratt	Brooklyn, NY
438,890	Oct. 21, 1890	Bench-hook	Herbert D. Lanfair	Millers Falls, MA
529,401	Nov. 20, 1894	Spiral screw driver and drill	William H. McCoy	Millers Falls, MA
		Spiral screw driver and drill	Henry Pratt	Brooklyn, NY
538,323	Apr. 30, 1895	Bit-brace and hand drill	Charles D. Cutts	Fort Fairfield, ME
583,922	Jun. 08, 1897	Bit-brace with right-angled V-guide frame	Stephen McCellan	San Marcos, TX
585,531	Jun. 29, 1897	Bit-brace	Stephen McClellan	San Marcos, TX
621,401	Mar. 21, 1899	Spiral-tool driver	Leonard M. Davis	Erving, MA	Information taken from Clifford D. Fales' database at http://www.idcomm.com/personal/cfales/intro.htm Examples marked, "MILLERS FALLS CO. / MILLERS FALLS, MASS. U.S. / NO. 41 / PAT. MAR. 21-1899"
857,947	Jun. 25, 1907	Chuck	John A. Leland	Millers Falls, MA	Jaws are designed to accomodate both traditional bit stock square shank drill as well as round drill shanks. Sold as the Holdall Brace by Millers Falls.
903,495	Nov. 10, 1908	Coping-Saw Frame	William J. Parsons	Montague, MA	The primary claim of this patent has to do with a fairly complicated draw bolt, nut, and winged key arrangement which allows the back frame to rotate freely relative to the blade and handle when tightened in one position; then locking the blade rigidly in place when tightened in another position.
911,342	Feb. 02, 1909	Glass Cutter	William G. Stebbins	Montague, MA
912,582	Feb. 16, 1909	Chuck	John A. Leland	Montague, MA	The purpose of this chuck is the same as Leland's earlier patent 857947. It differs in that the jaws are not held apart at their base by a spring. Rather, they are attached to resilient arms, on their outer surfaces, by means of a loose pin which allows them to pivot and slide. The jaws are, therefore, free to conform to a straight or tapered shank, with uniform pressure being attained by being trapped between the inclined surfaces of the jaw seat and sleeve.
922,808	May. 25, 1909	Bit-gage	William J. Parsons	Millers Falls, MA
925,112	Jun. 15, 1909	Saw-Frame	Herbert J. Leland	Montague, MA
929,231	Jul. 27, 1909	Bit Extension	John A. Leland	Montague, MA
935,266	Sep. 28, 1909	Ratchet-brace	John A. Leland	Montague, MA
935,375	Sep. 28, 1909	Miter-Box	John A. Leland	Montague, MA
936,644	Oct. 12, 1909	Chuck	John A. Leland	Montague, MA
942,586	Dec. 07, 1909	Drill brace	William J. Parsons	Montague, MA
942,571	Dec. 07, 1909	Spiral screw-driver	John A. Leland	Montague, MA	Information taken from Clifford D. Fales' database at http://www.idcomm.com/personal/cfales/intro.htm see patent 1,578,866.
942,572	Dec. 07, 1909	Automatic tool for boring	John A. Leland	Montague, MA	This seems to be the Millers Falls #180 drill.
		Automatic tool for boring	William G. Stebbins	Montague, MA
974,896	Nov. 08, 1910	Chuck	John A. Leland	Montague, MA	Leland references his earlier patent 912582, noting that the principle means of gripping straight (round) shanks and tapered shanks is the same in this patent. The primary focus of this patent has to do with the internal configuration of the jaws.
988,723	Apr. 04, 1911	Change-speed gearing	John A. Leland	Montague, MA	The Millers Falls Company's early days drill related patents were directed at the chuck. In the 20th century they were geard towards improving the usability of the drill. Could pressure from Goodell -Pratt and North Brothers designs have driven that change?
992,218	May. 16, 1911	Adjustable Handle for Saw Frames, &c.	John A. Leland	Montague, MA	Handle that can be adjusted for the desired angle as well as to be positioned and clamped anywhere on the back frame.
1,030,592	Jun. 25, 1912	Telescopic Extension-Rod	John A. Leland	Montague, MA
1,034,838	Aug. 06, 1912	Change-speed gearing	Henry A. Ryther	Montague, MA	This is a upgrade to John Leland's patent 988,723. In fact, the drawings look so similar I thought there was an error. Ryther's change provides less friction between the gears and therefore an easier to use tool.
1,056,670	Mar. 18, 1913	Expansion Bit	Louis S. Hayden	Essex, CT	An adjusting screw is located in the clamp plate engaging teeth on the edge of the cutting blade. Sold by Millers Falls as their No 151 Expansive Bit.

2,839,817	Jun. 24, 1958	Abrading Tool Holder	Leonard Garth Huxtable	New York, NY	The Millers Falls No. 1220 Plane-R-File. The idea of a replaceable-bladed rasp was not new to the Plane-R-File as similar products had existed in Britain for several years. The inventive feature lay in the rotating handle, blade locking mechanism, flanged frame to support the blade and outstanding aesthetics (design patent 182027 covered the outstanding appearance). "For the invention of the 'Plane-R-File' abrading tool- I was said to receive one dollar and other considerations. This tool was not too successful as having lost the original blade to Stanley, Millers introduced the tool with an inferior blade. When it was time to reorder, a prohibitive price for the blade was asked. Stanley, Stanley of England and others wasted no time in copying the tool, and it proved very successful. Originally Stanley brought out two tools, a plane type and a file type. My invention combined the two, hence the name "Plane-R-File." (Courtesy of Randy Roeder)
