B.F/B.E. collets

[ronan walshParticipant @ronanwalsh98054]

I found a small collet chuck in a box of bits someone gave me years ago. Initially i thought it was just a crude bit of bar with the usual cutter held in by an allen screw, but it is not.

Opening the chuck, it has a collet and all i can see on it is either B.E or B.F. Never came across this size before, but if i can get a set of collets reasonably priced, i would buy them.

Anyone know them ? What have i got ?

There is a strong possibility you have a Bristol Erickson, they are quite common and I have various sets myself.
