So I mentioned to my dad that I was looking for some older hand cranked drills and braces and not 2 weeks later these arrive.

The larger one on the left is a Millers Falls #2. The one on the right is a Stanley 1221.

The larger brace is a "Red Diamond" and the smaller is a Stanley #945a.

I know nothing about old braces/hand drills so any info or links would be appreciated.

They are all functioning properly. The Millers Falls top does remove and there are 3 fluted bits. Read last night that they were originally shipped with 6 or 8, so actually getting 3 ain't too bad.

Not family tools. Dad is a retired auto mechanic. He picked these up at a local combination flea market/swap meet/arts and crafts fair that happens in his town 2 times per year. Got em all for $2 each.
