If you have questions about what the Stanley numbers are, you can
look the planes up on Blood&Gore:

Sometimes, emails to/from me are vectored to some cyber black
hole, never reaching their destination. I answer all emails, so if
you haven't heard from me, your/my email is likely having high tea
in said black hole, never to be heard from, so please try again.
If there is anything in particular that you're after, do ping me
as there is a lot of stuff here that isn't on the list; the list
just represents a snapshot of the previous month's haul with none
of the stuff having appeared on a previous list. I like to keep
things fresh here.
Please email me prior to sending money so that you can be sure
the item is still up for grabs. Also, prices do not include shipping,
which is the amount that it takes to go from me to you via the US
Post Office.
This list goes out to many people, normally on the first Monday
of the month (unless otherwise noted above). So, if you see something
you want, it's the quickest finger on the trigger that wins the duel.
Some folks become upset that they miss out on a tool. I wish I had
lots of this stuff many times over so I can satisfy the demand, but
that is normally not the case. Some of it does have duplicates here,
and if so, I will state that in my reply to you.
Also, due to the nature of selling over the wires, tools are sold
on a first come, first serve basis. The first person to say "I'll
take it", gets it. I have to operate this way as some will take a
few days to get back to me with their interest in a particular item,
and it's unfair to keep others waiting who are willing to buy the
item immediately.
I reserve the right to correct typographical errors after the list
goes out. I rarely make them, but when I do they can be major ones.
If you're the kind of person who puts a straightedge to the sole of
a #40, to check it for flatness, or who tosses a plane on a scale to
weight it against what it states in the Stanley catalogs, you'll need
to take your business elsewhere. I'll wish you luck finding perfection
in something that was never made, nor intended to be, perfect. You guys
know who you are, and it's best for both of us that our paths not cross.
Lastly, and I don't like to mention this, but if you tell me that
money is on the way for something you want, and you never make good
on it, we won't be doing business in the future. It's unfair, actually
downright discourteous, to others who want the same thing, and I tell
them it's sold. Pull this on me, and you're exorcised from the list.
Sorry, but I don't tolerate this behavior well at all.
Don't forget the cool new tools that I'm making - a jazzy layout
knife being used by professionals (made the cover of Feb.1998 FWW!),
a detachable block plane handle designed to fit your standard pitch
block planes, a killer Robinson's Improved Patent sliding bevel, a
tilting jaw for your Emmert's vise, and the finest bench plane in
production today, the Bed Rock #601. You can see it all at:

Remember, you don't have to be a connoisseur (did I spell that
correctly) to shop here. You can be a wirehead, a metalhead, a zipper-
head, a propellerhead, a deadhead, a cokehead, or even a knuckle
dragging oaf, just like me, to shop here, as long as your dinero is
green.
Thanks for shopping, and remember that no letters or words were
injured when writing this list...

ST15 #12 cabinet scraper; based on Bailey's first patent, it's
a design that never changed and remained in production

stamped with the patent date in the forward adjusting

Jennings&Co. replacement iron that fits it perfectly;
top right:

mortice gauge; the adjustable point is set by pulling the

Stanley brace as it has all the bells and whistles Stanley

UK made, now out of production; middle:

worker pair, no damage, all original parts, they are the
pre-stop model; very handy tools for tweaking grooves,
rabbets, dados, and sockets of sliding dovetails; top two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t28.jpg $145.00
ST22 #90J bull nose rabbet; a handy general purpose tool it has

ST25 #45 combination plane; a complete example that may be a
#45E with the thicker plating, the label is worn off the
original box; in extra clean condition, hone the cutters
and start working with this one:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t43.jpg $230.00
ST26 #35 catalog for the UK market; 1937, with updated price
sheets, in extra fine condition, it's a good glimpse into
Stanley's attempted takeover of the UK tool market, it was
printed right at the time Stanley set up operations in
Sheffield; a unique number for this one as these catalogs
are numbered #34 in America, it's far less common than the
American printings of the same era; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t47.jpg $75.00
ST27 #203 bench clamp; a handy aid to help keep wood well be-
haved, the hook fits into holes bored in a jack, bench
surface, or other pieces only limited by your imagination;
as found, with tarnish and plating loss, can be used as
is; bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t48.jpg $45.00
ST28 #18 sliding bevel with 8" blade; butt locking thumb screw
secures the blade at the needed angle; some minor grunge,
it can be used as is; bottom:

original parts; no damage, lightly cleaned, half of the

complete, and in an owner made wooden box; a very popular
plane, especially in England, it can also rabbet and do
match work; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t57.jpg $155.00
ST31 Clean and damage-free #131 double end block plane; Stanley
thought a block plane for regular and bull nose work would
sell well, it didn't, sales were compounded by the ease
with which this one could break; this ca. 1910 era model
managed to escape that, it's dusty from sitting unused in
a shop for decades; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t60.jpg $155.00
ST32 #97 marking gauge; a ca.WWI model, with V-logo stamped in
the fence's screw, it retains nearly all its plating; with

a fine general purpose tool that's ready to use; bottom
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t60.jpg $35.00
ST33 #36 six-inch, two-fold boxwood rule with caliper; made ca.
WWI, other than some minor tarnish on the hinge, it's like
the day it was made; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t60.jpg $45.00
ST34 #48 match plane; the most popular design for cutting tongue
and groove joints, this is a nickel plated Victorian casting
in as found condition; looks like a dog, but it'll clean to
make a sound worker, it has the normal plating wear; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t61.jpg $85.00
ST35 #92 cabinetmaker's rabbet; a made in the US model with all
original parts and no damage, most plating, owner lightly
scratched initial in the Hand-Y grip, a sharpie was used to
ink stuff on one side; will make a solid worker; bottom
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t61.jpg $115.00
ST36 #19 knuckle joint block plane; a complete and damage free
1930's example with long machined bed, it's caked with
sawdust from sitting unused in a shop; a much nicer plane
than the #9 1/2 and #15, the knuckle joint lever cap is
more positive than the cam design, it's also more com-
fortable to grip; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t61.jpg $55.00
ST37 #53 1/2 two-foot, four-fold boxwood architect's rule; as
clean as they come, the inner edges are beveled for easier
transfer of graduations to the work; the two face pins were
deliberately pulled so they wouldn't mar the work, the side
alignment pin is present; sweetheart logo stamped in it;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t63.jpg $85.00
ST38 #72 1/2 two-foot, four-fold, fully brass bound boxwood
rule; one of Stanley's higher end rules, it's wider than
the standard; made pre-1900, general darker patina, never
abused, 100% usable, the rule that make #62 lovers envious;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t63.jpg $75.00
ST39 #78 nickel plated Razor Edge spoke shave; probably the best
spoke shave design ever made, it overcomes the problems of
wooden examples, and, like those, holds the blade at nearly
zero degrees to the work; adjust mouth and depth of cut,
free of damage, with general plating loss, a sound worker;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t64.jpg $155.00
ST40 1/4" diameter cutter for the #77 doweling machine; maybe
used once and then put back in the original box (no label);
top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t69.jpg $90.00
ST41 Same as previous, but uncommon 7/16" diameter; original
box (no label); top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t69.jpg $125.00
ST42 #71 router with three cutters and fence; a sound and never
abused worker that will get the job done as well as a mint
one, it's US made; normal finish loss on knobs; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t74.jpg $125.00
ST43 #602 Bed Rock smoothing plane; a square side 1930's model
with all original parts, it shows normal wear and tear from
use, someone painted the toe red as identification, an
owner lightly scratched his name on the side; a sound worker
and one of the less common models of the series; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t75.jpg $455.00
ST44 #42 saw set; a 1930's example with good spring, it's now
the most popular design today; normal finish loss; bottom
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t78.jpg $35.00
ST45 #92 butt and rabbet gauge; as found, with all proper parts,
grungy, loads of brass and rosewood, it'll clean to be a
fine worker and looker; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t79.jpg $55.00
ST46 #46 combination dado, rabbet, and match plane; a worker at
not a crazy price, most plating gone, many original cutters,
both spurs, and no damage:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t80.jpg $190.00
ST47 #3 smoothing plane; early 1930's example with all original
parts, much nicer than usual condition, a bit dusty from
sitting idle, it'll make a great worker; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t81.jpg $90.00
ST48 #9 1/2 block plane; 1930's long machined bed model with
all original parts, it saw very little use but is dirty
and will clean to be nearly new; no damage, the most popular
full feature block plane Stanley offered; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t81.jpg $40.00
ST49 #24 combination try square and bevel with 9" blade; as
found and in need of a clean, stamped with patent date,
and one of the less common layout tools offered by Stanley;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t82.jpg $90.00
ST50 #85 1/2 rosewood panel gauge; a handy aid for planing
straight and parallel edges due to its reach, it's a sound
worker with all original parts, the edge away from the
scribing point has a hang hole in it; ready to use; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t82.jpg $85.00
ST51 #68 rabbet shave; a WWI model with V-logo, which makes it
ready for your type 11 collection, it's as clean an example
of this handy shave I've seen; cuts rabbets left and right,
it can also perform standard shave work; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t82.jpg $60.00
ST52 #39 1/2" dado plane; 1920's sweetheart model, as found, all
original parts, no damage, superficial rust from sitting
idle, 75% japanning, it'll make a sound worker; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t86.jpg $115.00
ST53 #945 10" sweep brace in the original box and with three
Irwin pattern augers; extra clean, used just a few times,
a solid worker, box shows expected wear, cover is inked:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t87.jpg $110.00
ST54 #604 1/2 Bed Rock oversize smoothing plane; a worker made
during the early 1930's, with all original parts save for
the iron, which is a UK Stanley example; the two side rails,
back at the heel, have been purposely filed by an owner as
his large hands must have rubbed against them; tote was
split and glued; a bargain over what a pristine one fetches,
this one is for the user, not the collector, in you; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t88.jpg $175.00
ST55 #66 beader; nickel plated model with a pile of original
cutters, the blank is a modern one, straight and curved
fences are Stanley buy are from different examples; hang
hole in one handle, it's going to work as well as a
pristine example; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t89.jpg $125.00
ST56 #2 lever cap; a pre-embossed example, as found, free of
damage, and unique to this model plane; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t89.jpg $40.00
ST57 #8C corrugated jointer; a ca.1930 example with all original
parts, the tote still has most of the decal; as found, with
some superficial rust that will easily clean, 90% japanning,
it's far nicer than what's normally found; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t94.jpg $190.00
ST58 #73 boxwood mortice gauge marked with the sweetheart logo
and model number, making this uncommon gauge even more so;
a sliding point is secured by a countersunk screw, this
model never sold well in the American market, it may have
been Stanley's assumption that similar gauges offered in
England would likewise sell well in America; little used,
graduated arm, owner mark; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t95.jpg $65.00
ST59 Bronze copy of the #49 auger gauge; used to control the
depth of boring, it's well done, has more mass than the
Stanley iron one, it's ready to clamp onto your favorite
Irwin/Jennings augers; bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t95.jpg $25.00
ST60 #4 trammel points; earlier, ca.WWI model with V-logo in the
screws; designed to take a pencil, as needed, they are as
found, with most plating, that's dulled, still sound workers
and a popular design; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t95.jpg $35.00
ST61 #278 low angle rabbet/fillister; in extra clean condition,
I don't believe it was ever used, probably due to the fact
the original iron was lost and a replacement (with no
grooved in the back) was made; all other original parts
are present, finding a proper iron should be easy as most
of these planes are found with a missing fence and stop;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t96.jpg $140.00
ST62 Pair of spoke shaves, #63 and #64 with all original parts;
one flat sole, one curved sole, the latter is in new con-
dition; handy workers for smaller stuff; middle two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t96.jpg $45.00
ST63 #138 level sights for metal and wood levels; never used, in
the original box and wooden keeper, this tool makes type
study people apoplectic as the box is ca.1960, but the tools
have sweetheart logo on them, which proves Stanley never
knew about any type studies and did exactly what they
wanted to do when they wanted to; caveat type 11, or some-
thing like that; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t97.jpg $40.00
ST64 Clean #998 corner brace; most original finish remains, in-
cluding gold highlighting near the chuck, it's a great
quality worker, Stanley's best model; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t100.jpg $95.00
ST65 #18 14" sliding bevel with rosewood stock; longest of the
very popular series, it's also the least common; perfect
for larger layout, blade stamped with the patent date and
is in better than usual condition, wood has expected wear;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t110.jpg $85.00
ST66 Original handle for the #74 flooring plane; with attaching
hardware, it's one of the most difficult parts to find for
the clunky plane; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t111.jpg $55.00
ST67 #386 jointer gauge; as found, with some superficial rust,
no damage, all original parts, a worker; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t111.jpg $115.00
ST68 #62 reversible spoke shave; designed to work on the pull
and push stroke, it cuts your working time in half or
assists when a grain change is encountered; an earlier
example with "S" casting mark dates it to the early 1890's,
it has all original parts, no damage, there's no japanning;
a worker; bottom;
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t111.jpg $90.00
ST69 Three #34 catalogs, including two large format examples,
one being the 1961, which kinda sorta is the stake in the
ground after which Stanley's tool production (and quality)
went downhill, with Handyman planes featured alongside the
Bailey line Stanley had to know which way the tool market
was going; in sound shape, great references for those who
are interested in the company's product line and history,
they are in sound shape; left three:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t114.jpg $65.00
ST70 Original instruction pamphlet for the #55 combination plane
and four promotional pamphlets that were included in the
boxes of tools made prior to WWI, including two with the
Imp logo; as found, the #55 pamphlet has dogearing on several
of the back pages, the promotional pamphlets show some loss
and wear, one of the later ones has covers that are separated;
good references, the #55 one is from ca.WWI; right pile:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t114.jpg $55.00
ST71 #40 scrub plane; all original parts, rosewood knob and tote
date it as the last production, as found, with dust, it'll
clean to be nicer than usual condition as the japanning is
75%+; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t117.jpg $80.00
ST72 Small cross peen hammer; 2 5/8" long head, showing normal
signs of use, original handle was painted green; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t117.jpg $30.00
ST73 #67 Universal shave; as found with some superficial rust
from sitting idle, it will easily clean to be a fine worker;
ferrules on handles are free of the usual cracks, owner
mark in the wood, single flat sole, it'll be a fine budget
worker while you look for the round sole and fence; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t117.jpg $55.00
ST74 #5 1/2H heavy oversize jack plane; with the proper model
number embossed at the heel (don't be fooled by people who
say a heavy #5 1/2 as if it's this model as it's not unless
it's embossed with the "H"); as found, grungy, free of
damage, with all original parts, this size is less common
than the #4 1/2H, both of which have the 2 1/4" wide iron;
a plane that was designed to take on infill panel planes
in England, did Stanley honestly think someone would give
up one of those for a 'homely' Bailey pattern, they did,
but they were very wrong; top:

ST75 #9 cabinetmaker's block plane with side handle; as found
and free of damage, with all proper parts, this is what
your LN copy was modeled after; an uncommon and fragile
plane, this one saw use but managed to escape the common
damage/modifications found on most examples; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t118.jpg $1285.00
ST76 #80 cabinet scraper; first model with a later Disston
made blade that's longer than the original length, it
will also work well in your #12 and #112 scrapers; as
found, dusty from sitting idle, it will clean to be a
fine worker; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t122.jpg $40.00
ST77 #3 smoothing plane that looks unused; in the original box
(corners taped), made ca.1950, all you need to do is hone
the iron; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t126.jpg $110.00
ST78 Book, "Antique and Collectible Stanley Tools" by John
Walter; the large format hardcover bible that's long out
of print, it covers a large portion of Stanley's output
along with the company's history; acknowledged as the
price guide for all things Stanley, for years rumors have
swirled that an update version is due any day, but so far
nothing has been presented; a must have for anyone who has
any interest in tools, this copy is barely read and is as
close to new condition without being new; top
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t128.jpg $265.00
ST79 Unique #5 1/2 oversize jack plane made for display at a
trade show or for a retailer's display; entirely nickel
plated, japanned where it normally is, the plane was later
used after the display was no longer needed; made ca.1900,
with all original parts, as found, nearly all the finish
remains, it will benefit from a careful clean; guaranteed
to be as represented, it's not some modern effort being
passed off as a Piltdown tool; a nice looking plane that's
sure to compliment an important collection of Stanley, or
any other, tools, it's like an Edsel met a #5 1/2 in a
dingy, hourly rate hotel and made a love plane:

WOOD PLANES
**** ******
WP1 W.Cooley/Blackstone St. (Boston) deep quirked ovolo; the
common profile used as the topmost profile of the cornice
on a mantle or doorway, it cuts 1 1/4" deep by 3/4"; an
uncommon profile by an uncommon maker, the iron is also
pitched lower than usual; in sound condition, few tiny nail
holes from shim on depth stop, no owner marks, it's a must
have if you're into Federal era restoration; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t4.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t4a.jpg $125.00
WP2 Adjustable sash plane by I.S.Battey of Providence, RI; the
classic square ovolo profile, that and the shoulder of the
rabbet are boxed; two large wooden thumb screws set the
width of cut on the sash bars; a sound example, lightly
cleaned, minor ding in boxing well back from the mouth,
no owner mark; making sash is fun, this will get you
started; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t11.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t11a.jpg $90.00
WP3 3/4" (depth of cut) common ogee by Turner; a solid and
never abused example that's a perfect size for today's
stock; the most versatile of all profiles, with owner
mark:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t17.jpg $85.00
WP4 1/8" cockbead by Griffiths/Norwich; fully boxed, difficult
to find size, barely used, owner mark, if you do high end
cabinetmaking, you need this for details on the carcase:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t18.jpg $115.00
WP5 3/8" (depth of cut) common ogee; a ca.1800 UK example that
is manufactured but with no maker's mark; owner mark, the
stop was very lightly trued, a perfect size for detailed
decoration on cabinetwork:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t19.jpg $90.00
WP6 3/4" (depth of cut) bolection by Cockbain/Carlisle; with
hammerhead boxing (so it doesn't pull out as is common with
standard boxing), it saw little use and has original finish;
owner marks, a small ding in the boxing right behind the
mouth, it's still a fine worker:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t20.jpg $110.00
WP7 Grainy oak (I think) owner made toothing plane; a lovely
pattern to the grain, and made of a very uncommon wood
for such a plane, it saw practically no use and is ready
to go; obviously made by a gifted craftsman; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t21.jpg $85.00
WP8 Chamfer plane by Ames/Birmingham; uses a sliding box to set
the width of cut, a steel sole forms the flat portion to
make the plane ride true; owner mark, as found, in sound
worker condition, it does exactly what the #72 chamfer
plane does, but for less money; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t29.jpg $80.00
WP9 1/2" match planes; manufactured, but no maker's mark, they
are in sound worker shape; oddly, the heels are stamped as
3/8", but they center the groove at 1/4", which is what 1/2"
match planes do; lightly cleaned; right two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t29.jpg $80.00
WP10 Toted wedge arm plough plane by Mathieson; as found, it has
the nice feature of bedding the iron along the return of
the tote; in sound worker shape, the front arm wedge is a
replacement, tip of tote repaired, and some gouging around
one arm hole; sounds like a woofer, but it's still 100%
usable and at a price much less than a perfect one; toted
wedge arm ploughs are much less numerous than non-toted ones;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t30.jpg $120.00
WP11 Odd, extra long spill plane; 18" long, the sole is grooved
so it can slide off the stock as it pulls tight curls for
the transfer of fire; a very unusual form for this plane
that made life easier before matches were common; top;
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t36.jpg $120.00
WP12 Mathieson 18" try plane; with decal remnants at the toe,
this one saw very little use, all it needs is a honing;
double iron is also marked Mathieson, a very shallow and
stable check along top edge; a fine working example; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t37.jpg $110.00
WP13 Moseley&Sons side rabbet pair; as found, never cleaned or
abused, owner mark, will make great workers; bottom two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t38.jpg $125.00
WP14 1/2" (depth of cut) bed molding by Marples; the most common
profile used where the frieze and soffit meet, it's a combo
of adjacent hollow and round profiles to make for a very
pleasing and classic molding; perfect for cabinetwork, it's
not common found this size; minor sole wear at heel, owner
mark, a sound worker:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t42.jpg $115.00
WP15 #8 skewed hollow and round pair by Routledge; with same
owner mark, free of modification, sound workers; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t45.jpg $90.00
WP16 #6 skewed hollow and round pair; came with previous and by
same maker, free of modification, owner mark, sound workers,
size on heel is incorrectly stamped as 8, they are 6; top
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t45.jpg $90.00
WP17 Extra clean and barely used sash fillister by Nurse; only
in need of a honing, this is a great plane to cut rabbets
where the plane can't pull away from the work; fully boxed
shoulder, adjustable stop, nicker iron, all it needs is a
honing; an owner spent more time stamping his name on it
than he ever did using it; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t52.jpg $125.00
WP18 Pair of side rabbets made of rosewood with steel plate
soles; left and right, 7" long, fine mouths, and with lots
of character, all they need is a honing; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t53.jpg $145.00
WP19 Barely used 2" skewed rabbet by A.Howland; with owner mark,
all it needs is a honing; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t59.jpg $45.00
WP20 J.M.Taber/New Bedford 7/8" match planes; steel plated fences
for more accurate work and longer wear; free of modification,
as found, in need of a clean, they are solid planes for
cutting tongue and groove joints in 3/4" to 1" thick stock;
bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t67.jpg $75.00
WP21 A most unusual, and probably unique, adjustable plane by
Marley/New York; what I'd call a proto-Tidey Patent plane,
it cuts a double bevel that references off a groove; perhaps
for doors or panels, I can't recall seeing any existing
architectural work that shows this detail; to add more
confusion, it has an adjustable fence the can be raised or
lowered relative to the sole; brass wing nuts secure the
width the plane works, there is a neatly dovetailed groove
that runs the length of the stocky body, a corresponding
length of wood is inserted in the groove so that the body
can't twist; I suspect the plane originally came with the
pieces (of varying widths) for the groove, those are long
gone, an owner made one is with it; barely used, integral
tote, 12" long, no owner marks, two screw holes on the
fence from a shim, I've never seen anything quite like it;
a wonderful specimen of specialty planemaking by a fairly
uncommon maker; bottom:

https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t73c.jpg $585.00
WP22 Rosewood and boxwood toted screw arm plough plane by H.
Chapin's Union Factory; an as found survivor that saw a
good amount of use, but is still 100% usable, it has a
dry surface and owner marks; dings/chips in the threads,
normal bang marks on the wedge's finial, tip of the tote
was docked and shows some chipping; sounds like a dog,
but it isn't, you can insert a sharp iron and groove to
your heart's content; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t74.jpg $185.00
WP23 Pair of miniature boxwood hollow and round planes; matching
sizes, 2 1/8" long, slight radius over their lengths, and
likely for stair or sash work; good patine; bottom two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t79.jpg $155.00
WP24 Long skewed rabbet with applied tote; made for cutting
deeper rabbets, the offset tote reduces knuckle smashing;
very well made, likely professionally, but no maker's
mark; 1 1/2" wide, nearly 18" long, no alterations, owner
mark, dry surface, tight mouth, relieved wedge; a nice
plane that will serve you well; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t83.jpg $75.00
WP25 Clean fully boxed 1/4" double beading plane by Bodman &
Hussey; a perfect size for cabinetwork, it's also perfect
as it can be used left or right hand for times the grain
changes (plane is flipped and used in the opposite direction)
and when you wish to plane both sides of the work; as found,
never cleaned or modified, owner mark, a quality tool; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t86.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t86a.jpg $135.00
WP26 J&L Denison/Saybrook quirked ogee; sharp, and ready to use,
it's a very clean example that cuts 3/4" deep by 1 1/2"
wide; no owner mark, the heel is stamped with a New Haven,
CT retail mark of English&Mix, it's a good bet that the Mix
is the same, or related to, the C.Mix who produced fine
edge tools in New Haven; a very nice plane:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t101.jpg $195.00
WP27 3/4" (depth of cut) quirked Grecian ovolo and fillet; cuts
5/8" wide, good proportions, made by one of the Copelands
(mark is week), owner mark, free of alteration, it's a
classic profile as part of a cornice or on a mantle's
shelf:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t102.jpg $110.00
WP28 Reverse ogee and astragal sized for 7/8" thick stock; a
lovely profile, one of my favorites, it's by J.Stevens/
Court St./Boston; sharp and ready to use, finish removed,
small ding in boxing at heel, it cuts 1" wide; a profile
that can be used anywhere:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t103.jpg $135.00
WP29 3/8" (width of cut) astragal by D.Copeland; sharp and
ready to use, never cleaned or modified, no owner mark, a
very nice survivor:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t104.jpg $95.00
WP30 8" fixed width chamfering plane with steel plated fence;
cuts a 3/16" wide chamfer, the plane looks to be manu-
factured, but only has a maker mark on it; fine shape,
very well made, and perfect for knocking sharp edges off;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t105.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t105a.jpg $70.00
WP31 Double iron sash with gothic profile, an uncommon one; maker
mark is overstamped by owner, this one has throats on both
sides of the stock, one side has a series of lines scribed
in it, likely for quick layout; as found, with some inactive
worm holes, a bit of roughness at the heel, one wedge needs
to be replaced as it snapped at the mortice; will restore
to be a nice example; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t105.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t105b.jpg $115.00
WP32 1/2" deep by 1" wide ogee by Ohio Tool Co.; a solid worker
never abused or altered, and very easy to use as it has
little spring making it a good choice for those who want
to get into wooden molding planes; owner mark:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t106.jpg $85.00
WP33 E.Preston (Litchfield St. address) reverse ogee, fillet,
and cove; a nicely proportioned profile that cuts 1 1/4"
deep by 7/8" wide; in barely used shape, owner mark in
side, and a very uncommon example in nearly new condition:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t107.jpg $185.00
WP34 8" beech smoothing plane with 2 1/4" iron; never modified,
only in need of a honing, fine mouth, no damage, it's not
you usual example only suitable for burning; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t108.jpg $85.00
WP35 Unusual and bulky square and square ovolo molding plane by
Griffiths/Norwich; a custom made profile that cuts 1 1/2"
deep by 1 7/8" wide, the square likely was worked with
another plane after this one was used; free of modification,
barely used, some checking in the heel (that looks worse
than it is), owner mark; planes like this could have only
been made in England:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t115.jpg $290.00
WP36 Crisp square, cove, and square that saw barely any use;
cutting 3/4" deep by 1/2" wide, it's perfect for cabinet-
work; skewed iron, C.Nurse retailer mark, owner mark, and
a rather uncommon profile:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t133.jpg $135.00
WP37 Unusual 7/8" round, hollow, round by Porter; a very nice
profile that's cut flat on the face of the work, it has
an odd construction of two pieces of boxing to make up
the entire profile, it had to be a custom made plane as
the side of the plane is laminated to hold the pieces
of boxing in the body; guaranteed not to be a rework,
one of the laminations popped off and was screwed back
on; owner mark, dark patina, and fully usable:

MISCELLANEOUS
*************
MS1 Jennings pattern augers in their original three section
wood box; always together and in far nicer than usual con-
dition, they are pre-Stanley manufacture; diameters of 1/4"
to 1", in 1/16" increments, they are favorites of cabinet-
makers for their double thread that pulls the auger into
the wood and their excellent results in hardwoods; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t1.jpg $190.00
MS2 Barely used Irwin auger set with screw driver tip; in the

1"; a fine working set of the most useful diameters, the

MS10 Cast iron saw jointer; with file, these used to be found
under every rock around here, this is the first I've had
in nearly a year (I hope they haven't been exported to
China to be ground up for garden furniture); a mandatory
tool for leveling the teeth of saws; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t8.jpg $45.00
MS11 Unused 3/4" pigsticker mortice chisel; with decal remnants
and superficial rust that will easily clean, I can't make

part of the standard set of eight; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t10.jpg $75.00

appropriate handle; top:

MS14 18th century keyhole saw; two rivets secure the shapely
handle on the remnants of the original 5 1/2" long blade;
in overall fine shape given its age, the rivets appear never

MS16 3 1/2" slick by J.Sheffield/Stamford, CT; a very rare maker,
I never knew of this maker until a few months ago when I had
another slick by this maker, it's remarkable that another
would show up so soon afterward; with an old replaced
handle, laminated steel construction, in sound user shape,
all it needs is a honing; metal is 15 1/2" long; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t13.jpg $165.00
MS17 Matching set of 12 Buck Bros. bevel edge cranked paring
chisels; barely used, always together, widths of 1/8" to
2", made ca.WWII, it's next to impossible to find a complete

is a tough job; a set to last several lifetimes, all they
need is a honing:

uncommon mark for such a tool, many were owner made; bottom

mortices; bottom:

spool; a much more massive than usual thing, it has a square

MS30 Bayfield style cast rabbet plane with mahogany stuffing
and rosewood 'veneer' pieces to make the sides flush; an
odd, owner made tool that wasn't finish, a lot of work was
put into the casting, it was never fit with an iron or a
proper wedge; good mass, 9" long, 1 1/2" wide, this will
make an excellent worker if you're up to the task of
completing it; Bayfiled was a Nottingham (England) maker
who made similar rabbets, they are quite uncommon and even
rare to find one free of damage; top:

MS31 Matching set of eight plough plane irons by Ibbotson, a

stuffing, nicely curved profile, these planes show up every

factured; as found, rust on sole, the wedge uses a thumb

MS68 Clean Atkins saw filer; little used, it's a finely made tool

has all the features found on a pre-1800 saw - round toe,
round cheeks, and rivets to secure the handle; early owner

make out what they are; bottom:

MS73 Millers Falls No.15 (#5 1/2) oversize jack plane; as found,

MS79 Brass and lignum stuffed cabinetmaker's mallet; loads of
mass on this one, the hollow brass cylinder is stuffed with

nowhere, this heavy tool can be used right out of the box;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t54.jpg $110.00

for finer work; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t54.jpg $65.00
MS82 Hollow shave by Marples; with turned handles, the round
shape suits it well for scooping deeper than a travisher

bevel on the outside of the curve, roughly 4" across; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t55.jpg $90.00
MS83 Folding drill index; despite the suggestion that this one
is made for the southern hemisphere (photographer snapped
the image upside down), it can be used equally well anywhere
in the universe (gravity willing); capable of holding 60
different diameters, those are embossed on the side; the
small pin to keep it folded open is MIA, it's nothing but
a brad, which every woodworker has; bottom left:

MS84 Small jeweler's/watchmaker's/finethingmaker's vise with

tool that cuts nine 1/4" diameter beads adjacent to each
other, a feature commonly used to cap wainscotting under
the chair rail; as found, the sole is steel for durability,
it's a very useful tool for making this decorative pattern,
a long board is reeded, then sliced up into equal lengths,
each piece is then positioned next to the previous to make
for a repeating pattern as long as you wish; a much easier
tool to use than a #45 with one of the special cutters; top:

MS112 Folding handle 8" (cutting edge) drawknife with apple
handles; retailed by A.J.Wilkinson&Co. of Boston, a firm

knocks/dings from storage; top:

firm that produced the unique looking skewed rabbet planes;

local (to me) shadowy maker; 11 1/2" wide; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t72.jpg $155.00
MS114 Clean and uncommon 12" square by Darling&Schwartz/Bangor
(Maine); made prior to the D,B&S production, Bangor is an
odd place for machinist's tools to have been produced,
that manufacture moved to the three southernmost states
where it dominated for decades; in fine shape, nicely
figured rosewood inlay in the handle, clearly stamped
with the maker's mark, a classic tool made as American
manufacturing moved from the Civil War effort to items
for commercial and home use; top:

edges, this right angle tool proved very popular with

uncommon tool; bottom right:

MS123 R.B.Haselton Contoocook, NH Maker board rule with the
eagle in flight marking; probably the most famous tool-
maker's stamp from the 19th century, the simple outline
of the eagle compliments every tool Haselton (and his
son) made, what's remarkable is the stamp survived and
is now in the New Hampshire state museum; as found and
in better than usual shape, showing scuffs and dings,
Haselton was known for his unique finish which went to
the grave with him and his son; an American classic; top:

MS124 Extra clean panel saw made by Disston with the brand name
"Lakeside Saw and Tool", Montgomery Ward & Co's; a barely
used and great quality saw, its 12pt 16" long crosscut
blade is perfect for smaller work; nearly all etching
remains, some minor tarnish, apple handle, don't be put
off by the brand name, it's a great quality worker and a
condition far nicer than what the image suggests; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t84.jpg $125.00
MS125 Unusual drawknife with handles perpendicular to each other
and curved cutting edge backed with a pronounced rib on
the forging; one I haven't seen before, the tool must have
been rotated as it was used to produce more of a gradual
slicing action across the wood; curvature is only across
its width, it's laying flat in the photograph; as found,
well made, a chip on the left handle, it'll make a fine
worker; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t84.jpg $85.00
MS126 Simonds No.61 7pt ripsaw; in much nicer than usual con-
dition, sharp enough to use as is on softer woods, carved
apple handle, 26" long, all etching visible, shiny blade
(despite what the image suggests); only apology is the
nib is MIA; a great quality saw by America's best saw-
maker that stopped production prior to WWII due to union
boycott; top:

MS131 8" tenon saw by Simonds; while it may not look it in the
image, this one is in much nicer than usual condition,
nearly all the etching is visible; patches of rust will
easily clean, backside is much nicer, original teeth only
need a quick filing; a great quality saw, made by America's
best sawmaker, and an uncommon product made just 7 miles
where this list originates; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t91.jpg $115.00
MS132 10" tenon saw by Disston; far cleaner than what's normally
found, made ca.WWI, sharp enough to use as is, extra fine
teeth; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t91.jpg $110.00
MS133 18" tenon saw by Taylor/London; a most uncommon length
and perfect for sawing lock rails and similarly wide
members of framed work, the teeth are filed rip and are
still sharp enough to use as is; tarnish, no damage to
the handle, split nut screws securely hold it to the
blade; owner initials in handle; a solid worker; bottom;
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t91.jpg $165.00
MS134 Record 08 jointer; like the Stanley #8, this is the longest
of the bench plane series, it has a bit more mass than the
Stanley, which is an asset while planing; all original
parts, normal finish loss and cosmetic wear, most finish
on the hardwood knob and tote is missing, this is common
for Record planes as their wood finish wasn't as durable
as Stanley's; a solid worker that may tire you out, good
thing there's teatime for a rest during the workday; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t92.jpg $180.00
MS135 Record 07 jointer; another solid worker with more mass
than the Stanley, it has more finish, the knob and tote
are rosewood; a quality work that's dusty from sitting
idle; the longer Record bench planes are nowhere near as
common as the shorter ones; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t92.jpg $165.00
MS136 Roll of carving chisels and gouges; an assortment of
makers, Addis, Howarth, Hill, Moulson Bros., etc., they
are ca.1875, each usable and with old matching handles,
there are 21 of them; great quality, widest is around
1 1/2", if chisels are your love, you'll love these:

MS137 Record 020 circular plane; barely used and then put back
in the original box; some minor superficial rust during
its decades of storage, it's identical to the Stanley model
save for its 'colour'; a fine quality plane eager to get
back to work planing concave/convex surfaces or edges;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t94.jpg $160.00
MS138 Lathe sizing tool; an different model, the tool accepts
a cutter (normally a parting tool, like this is), not a
chisel, to make repeated turnings of a consistent diameter;
the cutter on this one has spurs to make for very crisp
shoulders, it's 5/16" wide; hang hole in wooden handle,
it's 100% usable; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t96.jpg $55.00
MS139 Miniature version of the #12 scraper, but without a turned
handle; made of bronze by a clever owner, it's made for
smaller work, perhaps a luthier; lot of mass to the 2 7/8"
main casting, the clamping screw is a replacement as is
the blade; this thing will make a great worker; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t97.jpg $120.00

ample, clearly marked with company name and model number,

MS141 Different model adjustable Preston spoke shave with curved
sole and 2" cutter set with a nut; with a stippled pattern
in the lever cap, you can see the difference compared to

life in the cutter, it may have been japanned, it's now
polished; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t98.jpg $65.00
MS142 Preston adjustable spoke shave with decorative casting,
lateral adjustment feature, and adjusting nut; curved sole,

MS146 Uncommon Simmons Redline Prime Boxwood two-foot, four-fold,
triple arch joint, fully brass bound rule; their model
number 780 1/2, it's probably a ca.1880 Stanley-made product
for the E.C.Simmons hardware firm during its infancy; in
sound shape, dark patina, alignment pins pulled, I can't
recall seeing a rule with these markings before; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t99.jpg $120.00
MS147 Millers Falls cornering attachment for a common brace;
designed to convert a brace into a corner brace, it's a
very well made tool in as found condition; free of damage,
it's 'hinged' midway to allow custom set of it; good amount
of original finish; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t100.jpg $35.00
MS148 Uncommon Bruford/Plymouth cast smoothing plane; no doubt
made by Slater for the third-quarter for the 19th century
retailer, this 7 1/2" long plane is as found and has not
been cleaned; original Marples iron, strike button at heel
has been mashed, owner mark in the rosewood stuffing; good
mass, in solid worker shape, the bun is mahogany and may
have been replaced long ago; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t108.jpg $335.00
MS149 Millers Falls No.88 jointer gauge; like the popular No.
85, but with a turned wooden knob that can be positioned
at either end, it's in sound worker shape, as found, and
with no damage; cam levers pinch the side wall of the
plane, the fence can be rotated to the desired degree for
beveled edges or right angle edges; fits #4 size planes,
the #386 can't; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t109.jpg $110.00
MS150 12" miter square with rosewood handle; used for laying
out and testing 45 degree cuts, this one is in much nicer

wood seriously; top:

MS152 Miniature honing stone in nice owner made holder with
cover; stone is 1 1/2" long and looks to be a natural
one, this one must have been used to do quick touch up
work on carving chisels or narrow parers; good age; top
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t111.jpg $95.00
MS153 Cased set of files; probably a salesman's kit, they are
fit into designated spots of the felt lined case; a few
have been used, a small one is missing, I don't know which
firm made them, they are fine quality and look to be from
the 1950's:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t112.jpg $95.00
MS154 Sargent No.1085 combination plane, the New Haven's answer
to Stanley's #55; in its original case, a much nicer thing
than the box Stanley supplied, it shows normal signs of
use, has 51 of the 54 cutters, some pitting on those, but
all should be usable; original canvas roll, photocopy of
of instructions, it does what the #55 does but for less
money:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t113.jpg $280.00
MS155 Good exotic wood mallet with bi-color handle that has
contrasting dark/like grain pattern; a very well made
tool that saw careful use, the handle is almost perfectly
half dark color and half light color; I can't identify
the wood, it has a rosewood color to it, but I don't be-
lieve it's that; 13" long, expected bang marks on the
faces, the slender handle broadens where it's gripped
for better comfort; this is not a ceremonial mallet, but
was made for a trade; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t116.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t116a.jpg $115.00
MS156 Unusual brass mallet with leather tipped wooden inserts;
probably a pattermaker's design, its double side casting
has square cavities on either side into which a wooden
insert is secured (original are loose), leather is tacked
onto the wood; a very well made tool, it shows expected
ding in the casting, the handle is firmly attached, this
thing will make a great worker with minor tlc, you'll dig
it for knocking smaller stuff together/apart or striking
smaller chisels; 12" long; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t116.jpg $115.00
MS157 Perfect Handle drawknife with 8" edge; the best drawknife
design offered, the single forging has the wood grips
riveted onto is so that can rotate/loosen; made by H.D.
Smith, of Plantsville, CT, the firm made the same screw
drivers you so love, it also manufactured other tools of
this design, like hammers, hatchets, wrenches, etc., to
prove to the public what a perfect handle design it is;
in solid worker shape, a tiny chip along the edge; top:

MS158 Marshall's 1883 patent combination tool; with many functions

wire cutter, etc.; in sound condition, free of damage, the
three castings slide/move over each other as the longer
castings are opened/closed; an uncommon tool; middle:

MS159 Stephens&Co patented combination rule; stamped with the
patent date and Riverton, CT location, this one is offered
for restoration due to the heavy rust on the foldout steel
leg, the rest of the rule is in remarkably fine condition;
original level vial, a tool with many functions; bottom

MS160 Stephens Patent quick adjust vise; a finely engineered
tool from the late 1800's, the outer jaw is pulled open
so the work can be inserted between the jaws, a spring
pulls the outer jaw inward, a lever at the side provides
the final locking force; fully functional and free of
damage, 2" jaws, and hardened flat area for banging small
work, minor rust spots, it's a great working vise that
would be impossible to make (in America) for anywhere
near this price; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t119.jpg $285.00
MS161 Good group of 18 Addis gouges and straight chisels; as
found, always together, widths range from 1/16" to 3/4",

all will make fine workers:

finer work, blade appears to have been deliberately
shaped so that the handle is over the work while riving,
not to the side; left:

MS163 Six butt chisels by C.E.Jennings; with original leather
tip handles, they saw very little use; finest quality,
Jennings bought the Hinsdale edge tool maker, Merrill &
Wilder, as well as other tool manufacturers, to form a
new firm with greater marketing audiences than the smaller
firms had; only in need of honing, widths of 1/4", 1/2",
3/4", 1", 1 1/4", and 1 1/2", a fairly standard set for
this kind of chisel; middle pile:

MS164 Millers Falls No.1 circular spoke shave; free of modi-
fication, never abused, some tarnish from sitting idle,

lightly scratched in rule; top right:

MS167 Plated Peck, Stow & Wilcox 8" dividers with fine adjust-
ment nut; I can't recall seeing a plated example of this

MS172 Steam engine indicator in its original mahogany box and
with boxwood rulers; made by Crosby Steam Gage & Valve Co.,
this thing is used to record pressure versus the piston's
displacement through its stroke cycle; with some original
paperwork, extra paper, pencil leads in their holder, and
the four boxwood rulers used to calculate the engine's
efficiency, I think all is here, but can't guarantee that;
in clean and little used condition, the box's cover has
come unglued from the base, the inner lid also came unglued,
the repair is very easy; certified a first class gizmo:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t125.jpg $190.00
MS173 Patented simple iron frame brace with turned wooden head
and square chuck that secures the bits/augers with a thumb
screw; while this plain looking thing seems like any other
nondescript brace, the head is stamped with the patent date
of November 17, 1863, making it Abel Streeter's idea for
attaching the head to the frame; not a rare brace, but
finding one with the patent date stamped in the head is
uncommon, the brace is in sound shape, never abused; left:

MS180 1 3/4" bronze thumb plane with corrugated sides for better
gripping; designed to work small rabbets or a shallow

mouth, but the Preston iron, with EP logo, wasn't positioned
properly; good patina, a nice little plane; bottom middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/feb/t128.jpg $165.00
MS181 Different race knife with cast handle; the standard
configuration of a foldout 'gouge', a fixed gouge, and
a pivot point, it's used to mark timbers for scaling or

item; bottom right:

six are present, none have been out of the box, the

is or open them and use them; top left:

MS183 Star Tool Co. slitting gauge but apparently made under
license by Marples; with the unique and easy to use
design that has a milled arm on which the fence travels
and is positioned by turning the fence to lock it in
place; in sound condition, circular brass inlay in the
fence, never abused, it's the first I've seen not marked
with the Star name, perhaps the Connecticut firm sold the
gauges unmarked and Marples then stamped their name in the
head, it also has a registration number (UK equivalent to
a patent) stamped in it; ready for some research; top

MS184 Beech travisher; as found, with Norton&Son Sheffield

MS186 Clean and rare Harvey Peace 10" back saw with patented
right hand grip that allows the hand to be closer to the
work; in as found condition, and barely used, nearly all
the bluing remains on the spine, the blade has pinhead
rust spots that will easily clean (but I'd leave the thing
as is); along with the odd handle, it has the patented
handle reinforcement plate at the bottom that keeps the
wood from splitting; with a neatly stamped "R" on either
side of the handle, perhaps done to keep us lefties on
notice that we need not apply, this is a great unmolested
saw; bottom:
