C. E. Jennings sold all sorts of tools under the Arrowhead label. This expansive bit acknowledges the Steers patent of 1884 shown below.
The company seems to have been in business from the 1880s to the mid 1930s, expanding their business in part by acquiring other companies along the way. Their office was on Murray St.in New York, the factories were located in Yalesville, Conn and Port Jervis NY.
Catalog of their tool boxes and tool kits here.

Before Irwin got rolled up into what is now Stanley/Black & Decker they used to sell a couple versions of these. First ones were for hand braces like the one pictured then later for powered drills. They had a version that went up to 4” as I recall. I bought one and used it exactly one time. I referred to it as a wrist breaker if you used it with a hand drill. When used in a drill press, it had a tendency to snag the work piece and either split the wood if securely clamped down or toss it or the pieces in all directions. Probably not as exciting using a brace. But I didn’t have enough a$$ to turn it.
