The W E Brownell handles show up on Ebay now and again I was just informed by another lurker.
Never cheap, but what is I guess,,it's not like you use them once and throw them away.
Though some people may have after their first experience w/ the exciting world of wood checkering.
Mine are 35 y/o or older maybe and still in one piece.
Seach Ebay for simply 'Brownell(s) Checkering' or 'W E Brownell' I'm told and they may show up.
At least you can see what they look like. Maybe they can be found other places.
W E Brownell was a totally different business from the Brownells Gunsmith Supply operation as I understand it.
Just the similar name got many to think that the latter made and marketed the tools. As always,,I may have that wrong too!
Best to you in your new endeavor...
