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...
FEATURED TOOL OF THE MONTH
******** **** ** *** *****
FT1 December and no snow, plenty of mud, and a fine example
of Stanley's output during their golden age, an absolutely
unmolested #44 gunmetal Miller's Patent plough plane being
held by a boy eager to get back into the barn and start
messing with his milling machine; with a beautiful con-
trasting sap and heart wood tote, golden patina, and as
nice an example as I've seen, this one is from the Inner
Sanctum after it was purchased from the late great tool
guru, Richard J. Riley; with remnants of the original
lacquer on the metal, this plane was cherished throughout
its 'life', it's the least common of the Miller's Patent
series and is even more so by being an early pre-slitter
model, it may be the earliest model made as no humpback
models have surfaced; the only apology is a tiny sliver
off the underside of the top horn, it may have left New
Britain with that; a plane for a discerning collector
of any tools:

WP20 5/8" (depth of cut) quirk ogee by D.R.Barton; as found, in
fine shape, good proportions, free of modification, owner
mark, lightly cleaned; rear boxing wants to be reglued:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t44.jpg $95.00
WP21 ca.1790 double iron sash plane by I.Cox, a UK maker that
had a flourishing business in New England; fixed width,
despite what the image shows, it cuts the classic square
ovolo profile and the rabbet simultaneously; free of owner
marks and modification, original finish, the wedges show a
bit of roughness from use, the plane is 100% usable and is
perfect for those who want the proper period style of sash
for their work:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t45.jpg $90.00
WP22 Unused 1 1/4" Ulmia rabbet plane; only in need of a honing,
it has the green Ulmia button on the top edge; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t47.jpg $45.00
WP23 Pair of snipe bills by Moseley; boxed soles are in better
than usual shape, with no checks/chips; lightly cleaned,
owner marks, in sound worker shape; bottom two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t48.jpg $185.00
WP24 10 round planes used by a patternmaker; identical to those
used by a cabinetmaker, patternmakers had no need for
hollows but used the rounds for the core work; as found,
in sound worker shape, they have you halfway to a set of
20, you can find hollows as needed to realize significant
savings over a matching set; owner mark, they appear American
made, one wedge was thinned just a bit after the body
shrunk:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t49.jpg $235.00
WP25 3/16" double bead by E.T.Ring&Co. of Worthington, MA; as
found and free of modification, it cuts along the left
and right sides, it's an uncommon diameter that suits 1/8"
and 1/4" applications as the eye can't distinguish the
1/16" difference; never cleaned, single boxed, it's a
solid worker; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t50.jpg $135.00
WP26 Pair of clean 18th century UK hollows; a IOHN HAZEY and an
I COGDELL; both as found, never whizzed up like so many
English wooden planes are, each is in much nicer than usual
condition, with only 'apology' being a bit of staining on
the Hazey (early owner mark on this one); #13 and #16,
if you're into early wooden planes, you'll love these two:

WP27 Right out of a time capsule, and an 1807 Newburyport
house, a 27 1/2 N.Little jointer; used once or twice and
then forgotten, the plane doesn't even have an owner mark
on it; original single James Cam iron, lignum strike
button, closed tote, original surface, about the only
thing negative one can say about it is some shallow checks
in the toe; Noah Little was born in Newbury, MA 1772, he
is the brother of the more prolific planemaker, Levi,
Noah is listed as a housewright ca.1800, one wonders if
he used this plane to make the three story Federal house
in which it was found; a wonderful plane, it would be
difficult to find one (by any maker this age) in better
condition; early American bench planes a uncommon as they
got the crap kicked out of them over time; top:

WP28 1" dado by Greenfield Tool Co.; as found, dry surface, no
damage or rework, minor usage wear, and an uncommon width,
owner initials, wooden thumb screw is a bit tight, it
turns, you'll want to wax it; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t70.jpg $80.00
WP29 1/8" bead by H.L.Narramore with a Concord, NH retailer's
mark on heel; narrowest of the standard sizes, perfect for
fine detail work, some staining and small chip in boxing
at the heel; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t70.jpg $55.00
WP30 17" jack plane; a much cleaner than usual example that only
needs a honing, it has no maker or owner marks, it's a manu-
factured example from the UK; never altered or abused, this
one spent considerably more time resting than it did ever
working; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t75.jpg $115.00
WP31 ECE horn smoothing plane; with the adjusting screw to set
the iron, it has a cam lever cap to secure the iron; as
found condition, with shavings in the throat from when
last used, hornbeam sole, it's waiting to get back to
work; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t81.jpg $70.00
WP32 Mathieson double iron molder with Glasgow and Edinburgh
locations stamped in it; 1 3/4" wide quirk ovolo and
astragal, the plane saw use and was cleaned and waxed
some time ago, there's a bit of roughness at the heel
and some inactive worm holes, it's still a respectable
plane with a lot of mass; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t86.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t86a.jpg $120.00
WP33 4 1/2 miniature curved bead; designed to work an edge with
a radius, it cuts a 3/8" diameter common bead; well made,
never cleaned or modified, a nice plane; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t89.jpg $90.00
WP34 Odd rounding plane; I can't recall one like this, it has
a conventional plane stock with a tapered hole bored through
it, a wedge secures an iron to turn roughed stock to a 7/8"
diameter; well made, with owner mark, 5" long, the boxwood
wedge is an old replacement; bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t89.jpg $90.00
WP35 Unused ECE jack plane with original packing around it;
never touched wood, 17 1/2" long, you can be the first to
remove its protective outer layer; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t94.jpg $90.00
WP36 Unused Gardner/Bristol 1/8" bead; with iron and wedge in
original wrapping and tied to the plane, this is how many
wooden planes originally came; impossible to find a more
pristine example; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t96.jpg $95.00
WP37 1/8" cockbead; manufactured, I can't make out the maker's
mark; fully boxed sole, as found, never cleaned or abused,
with owner mark, it's used to make the beaded surround of
a drawer on finer work; an uncommon size for this kind of
plane; bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t96.jpg $95.00
WP38 Unusual matched pair of special purpose planes that must
have been used on some framed joinery as they have the
number "1" and "2" designation found on sash planes; a
unique profile that measures 1 3/4" across, they cut a
broad fillet that's boxed at a cove; removable fences,
made by Brown Salop, with owner mark, they are in fine
shape, barely used, and are a first for me; image is
blurry:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t97.jpg $195.00
WP39 Kimberley Patent toted plough plane; all original and with
its adjusting key, free of damage, it's one of the more
complex UK patents applied to a plane; top:

WP40 Pair of side rounds by Moseley&Son; always together, with
same owner mark, free of modification, as found, never
cleaned, some minor staining, and in sound worker shape;
right two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t116.jpg $190.00
WP41 Square, cove, and square double iron by Mathieson; cuts
3/4", it has a crazy forked iron to cut the two squares,
the cove iron does its thing between the two cutting
edges of the square; in sound shape, good proportions,
two small nail holes on the stop side, owner mark; top:

https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t121a.jpg $135.00
WP42 Pair of matching square ovolos by D.Malloch/Perth; the #1
and #2 planes sized to cut a 5/8" wide ovolo, they are
sash planes but can be used for any work; perfect for
those starting on the wooden plane journey, the planes
haven't been altered or abused, and have always been
together, with the same owner stamp:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t128.jpg $75.00
WP43 Owner made bevel up low angle rabbet plane; inspired by the
dovetailed stuffed rabbets produced by notable infill plane-
makers, this one has a wooden body fit into a U-shape sole
(two pieces) to make for a fine mouth resistant to wear; a
sound worker, with rustic charm, 1" wide iron, it'll prove
to be a fine worker; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t129.jpg $70.00
WP44 Mathieson 1" match planes; centers the groove on 1" thick
stock, the planes can work 1/8"+/-, owner mark, they look
to have been used once and forgotten, these planes came
with the following several Mathieson planes, the last
owner marked most of them with his name, he must have
found others and added them to his working tools:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t130.jpg $90.00
WP45 Mathieson quirk Grecian ogee; a wide one, it cuts 1 7/8"
and 7/8" deep; barely used, owner initials:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t131.jpg $125.00
WP46 Mathieson quirk ogee and bead; model No.77, cut 7/8" deep,
lightly cleaned, shows expected wear to the sole, no
owner mark:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t132.jpg $110.00
WP47 Mathieson cove; sized to work 3/4" thick stock; oiled,
owner mark, checks in heel look far worse than they are:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t133.jpg $85.00
WP48 Mathieson square ovolos, three of them; a 3/8", 1/2", and
3/4", barely used, in solid worker shape, with owner mark:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t134.jpg $190.00
WP49 Mathieson Roman ogees, five of them; a 1/2", 5/8", 3/4",
7/8", and 1"; in fine worker shape, barely used, owner
mark, price these by modern makers to see what a bargain
these are, they will work as well as anything new:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t135.jpg $385.00
WP50 Mathieson square and cove, a pair of them; a 1/2" and
5/8", uncommon profile, barely used, owner mark, fine
workers:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t136.jpg $275.00
WP51 Mathieson large square ovolo and small cove, three of
them; the money shot of this Mathieson pile, they are of
a most unusual proportion of the two profiles the result
being very pleasing to the eye; a 5/8", 3/4", and 1", in
fine worker shape, barely used, owner mark, very minor
checks in heel looks far worse in the image than it is;
likely a unique opportunity to find a matching set of
this profile:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t137.jpg $595.00
WP52 A nearly full set of hollows and rounds by Higgs; in fine
shape, little used, 30 of 36 odd and evens, sizes 1-8 are
all accounted for, which is a good thing as these are the
most used for cabinetmaking, they are in fine shape, much
nicer than usual, the matching pairs of others are 10, 12,
14, and 16, with a 9H, 11R, 13H, 15R, 17H, and 18R that
has had its radius flattened a bit; a quality working set
that only needs 6 planes to make a full set:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t143.jpg $955.00
WP53 The first of two crazy complex molding planes recently
rescued from England after a plea for help due to the
uncertainty of the Brexit vote; a nutty profile that
may appear to be for sashwork, it can't be that as it has
no stop and can keep cutting as long as you push it (and
don't run out of wood); made by Gardner of Bristol, it
cuts an ogee-like thing, fillet, ogee, and square over
its 1 5/8" width and 3/4" depth; in fine shape, never
altered or abused, with owner mark, it has a hypnotic
presence about it and is the perfect respite when tired
of contemplating eternity; it and the next are profiles
that could only be made in Blighty; top:

https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t145a.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t145b.jpg $390.00
WP54 The second of the crazy molders, it's by far the crazier
of the two, and probably one of the craziest in existence;
practically defying description, see if you can name it
without barfing due to motion sickness as your eyes scan
up, down, and across its sinuous breadth; also made by
Gardner of Bristol, it works a 2" wide by 1" deep profile,
it's free of modification, a couple of insignificant worm
holes (maybe they had to escape from within due to their
becoming woozy from being in the thing), same owner mark
as the previous, it would have been a sight to see what
other tools the bloke owned with these, he certainly didn't
use them much, perhaps he went bankrupt while waiting for
a client to call for its use; bottom:

chuck functional, a sound worker; top:

MS8 Clean Simonds 26" 7pt rip saw with carved apple handle;
a much nicer than usual example by America's best sawmaker
(don't tell anyone, though), most of the etching is still
bright; teeth could stand a sharpening, they don't need to
be re-cut; somehow the nib managed to part ways, nobody
cares as nobody knows why saws were made with that way;
top:

MS9 Simonds 5 1/2pt rip saw; also 26" long, teeth are sharper

offered due to its simplicity and ability to accept nearly
any pattern auger/bit; left:

MS15 Roll of Irwin augers; only one looks to have been used
once, with use and care pamphlet, it's the smaller number
set of diameters 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1";
ready to use; bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t15.jpg $95.00
MS16 Longer stair saw by Atkins&Sons; barely used, 10" blade
can be raised/lowered within the beech stock, the stock
serves as a depth stop for uniform depth of cut, this is
a useful feature for cutting lock rails and similar things
that have a long shoulder; sharp, and ready to use: bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t16.jpg $85.00
MS17 Athol Machine Co. vise with hardened jaws; a great quality
vise that mounts on the bench with two bolts, the cross-
hatch jaws aren't all beat up like they typically are;
2 1/2" jaws, it has a circular flat spot for banging on;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t29.jpg $125.00
MS18 Starrett 4" double square; free of damage, with tarnish,

pre-WWII production tool; top right:

MS20 Stout 7" hollowing drawknife; not marked, but has all the
signs of it being a Barton, it's in fine worker shape, the
gentle sweep over the width of the cutting edge suits it
well for finer hollowing work; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t31.jpg $70.00
MS21 9" (edge length) James Swan drawknife with folding handles;
showing little signs of use, it has finish loss on the

MS22 12" sweep Yankee No.2100 brace; made by North Bros., with
hard rubber head, most chrome finish remains, the collars
around the grip are a bit loose, but still sound enough to
use as is; a great quality brace that can take your Irwin
and Jennings augers places they've never been to before;

MS23 Scotch pattern brace by Colquhoun&Cadman; with turned ebony
head, embossed disk with the C&C logo, spring still sound
in chuck, it's a rugged alternative to the standard plated
Sheffield style brace, it's perfect for center bits and
similar styles; 8" sweep; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t33.jpg $75.00
MS24 Different model rope maker with larger external ring to
turn the three hook so that twist the strands into rope;
with original wrench, as found, no maker's or patent marks,
it's definitely manufactured; no damage; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t34.jpg $290.00
MS25 Another three hook rope maker, this is the design found
most often, it had to be a fine worker due to the number
of them; still on its original wooden base, in sound worker
shape, the crank handle is a larger replacement, it's owner
probably wanted more power per turn with it; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t34.jpg $145.00
MS26 Clay beech cabinetmaker's mallet; made by the same firm
of screw driver fame, it saw barely any use, the trapez-
oidal head slides along the tapered handle, it can't fly
off that; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t35.jpg $45.00
MS27 Goodell-Pratt No.221 double beam roller gauge; two graduated
arms that are fit with a rolling disk that can mark a wide
variety of materials, it's their production of the Barrett's
patent gauge; polished and plated, used a couple times and
in the tattered remains of the original box, it's accurately
graduated, the octagonal head keeps it from rolling around
on the bench; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t35.jpg $95.00
MS28 Spiers Plane-O-Ayr smoothing plane; a fine all original
example that has never been messed with, its mouth is as
fine as any Norris; made at a time when Spiers saw the
handwriting on the wall, where the fine plane market was
being overrun by Stanley, et al, stuff, Spiers kept the
main features of a finer smoothing plane (parallel iron,
firm bedding, fine mouth, and mass) to produce this plane
which is overlooked by today's woodworkers; free of damage,
all it needs is a honing; if you like the mass of your
#4 1/2, you'll love this one; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t37.jpg $245.00
MS29 3" slick; as found, with an old turned handle as a replace-
ment, laminated steel construction, there's likely an maker
mark under the grunge; top has some pitting, the important
backside with much less than top and superficial rust, it
will clean to make a find worker; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t38.jpg $120.00
MS30 Pair of miniature vises; commonly used by watchmakers and
similar trades that performed fine work, these are in fine
worker shape and are ready to go; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t40.jpg $75.00
MS31 Record 3" bull nose rabbet with rosewood wedge to secure the
3/8" wide iron; barely used, nearly all nickel plating is
present, with the loss at the nose, wedge has expected
banging on the heel; mouth original width and free of any
damage; bottom right:

MS32 Group of rosewood handle graving tools with extra bits;
bits secured with sliding collar, as found, some with a

MS33 Parker Hand Beading Tools, their set No.416; in the original
wooden box, complete, the tools are used to join metal
tubing where one piece is inserted inside the other:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t42.jpg $190.00
MS34 Goodell-Pratt bench hacksaw; a well designed tool that is
to metal work as a miter box is to woodwork, it has a frame
to guide the saw and a rotating vise to secure the work;
as found, it's been repainted in bright colors, 9" blade,
free of damage, and a very handy tool for anyone cutting
pipe, rods, bar stock, etc.:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t46.jpg $155.00
MS35 Beefy cast iron mold for ingots (or muffins, if you like
your food industrial); integral handle, it has four molds
for casting babbitt, lead, and similar softer metals; in
fine as found shape, with no damage; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t47.jpg $65.00
MS36 Unusual can opener; rather than opening the end of the can,
it slices the entire top off leaving a very sharp edge,
which probably accounts for this one being very uncommon
as who wants blood in their baked beans or cling peaches
in heavy syrup; patented, the info is difficult to read
under the grunge, it has the cutter and bearing wheel
mounted on a slide, it must have been difficult to use
as one hand put downward pressure on the can while the
other put pressure on the slide, it's likely the can
spun around as the thing was worked; first of its kind
I've seen; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t48.jpg $155.00
MS37 Holt's Patent 10" sweep brace; for those of you who like
the versatility and ease of use of the Spofford pattern,
you'll love this better design that does what the Spofford
does but without the possibility of the chuck spitting the
auger/bit out; a wing nut pulls a collar against the auger
securing it significantly better than the Spofford can; as
found, free of damage, expect finish loss, it can be used
as is or cleaned to whatever degree you wish; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t50.jpg $90.00
MS38 Steers Improved Improved No.404 smoothing plane; an as
found and damage free example that is missing the frog,
iron, and lever cap, it's being offered for parts or
restoration, the tote is perfect, which is more difficult
to find than the parts for it are; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t51.jpg $145.00
MS39 Cleveland Twist Drill drill index; a square-shape for
putting order to your twist drills, it has more mass than
similar tools; free of damage; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t51.jpg $45.00
MS40 Complete box of 1" stamps for cutting stencils; a complete
and matching set, with some punctuation marks, these are
used on brass, tin, etc. to making stencils, the stamps are
struck with a hammer to knock out the shape of the letter;
little used, with a protective coating on them, they have
nice detail to them including serifs; finding these complete
is not common; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t53.jpg $275.00
MS41 The Peerless Shears Sharpener in its original box and with
instructions; used to sharpen scissors/shears with a natural
stone, it's remarkable that all the major parts are still
present with this complex tool (the clamp to secure it to a
table is missing, it looks to be a standard cast iron clamp),
it saw limited use, the stone has come unglued from its
holder; I can't recall seeing one with this many parts before
and definitely not one in the original box; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t55.jpg $185.00
MS42 Weit-Goethe Mfg. Co. multi-tool; patented 1904 and made of
pressed steel, it functions as a bevel, protractor, rule,
caliper, etc., it was targeted for the machinist's trade;

version of the #45) in the original hinged pasteboard box;
first of its kind I've offered, the box is designed to

the hinged wooden box; a very clean and complete example,
the box is remarkably in sound shape, with cloth hinged
lid still attached; with original screw driver, it's
missing the instructions, that's easy to find as the same
blue cover pamphlet was supplied with later planes; showing
expected scuffs and wear, if you're into all things Record,

how this one remained together and in the box is a mystery,

in them; box is 12" long, there's writing on the box that
assures us English speakers that it's a glue set, were
it not for this, we're left scratching our heads what the
French words mean, it might be easy to mistake it for some
bizarre cooking apparatus for dining on escargot out in
the wild:

as the tools are mastered; usual clear and concise Hayward
text, loads of drawings, 202 pages, the last of which are
a project of a cigarette box, for a bit of fun, try making
one of these these days in a school's shop to irritate the
educational authorities; left:

MS121 Book, "Nicholson's New Carpenter's Guide" for carpenters,
joiners, cabinetmakers and workmen in general; Nicholson
was the most prolific author for the trade during the
1800's, this volume has a memoir of his life and work as
a preface, the memoir offers a clue that this volume was
publish around 1840; as found, with the original cover's
spine pulled away from the pages, the book is structurally
solid; countless tradesmen used this title in their work,
its content is still applicable today; right:

MS123 Record 04 smoothing plane; older model with rosewood knob
and tote, it saw limited used and was put back in the
original box; the keen observer will note that the cap iron

MS124 Nurse's Patent adjuster on a J.Dixon/London smoothing
plane; designed to retrofit wooden bench planes with an
adjuster that performs depth of cut and lateral align-
ment, it's like a hybrid Norris adjuster and is similar
to what Leonard Bailey did on American planes; clearly
stamped with the Nurse name, in sound shape, it's a very
uncommon thing; right:

MS125 Combination tool in its original leather holster; by
J.A.Henckels, it retains nearly all its plating, it saw
very little use; great quality, not the cheap later copy,

driver all in 7"; left:

MS126 Record carver's screw with a carved head on it that's as
terrifying as a Dear Taxpayer letter from the IRS; in

packing, it's use is printed in three languages in the
spirit of multiculturalism; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t103.jpg $40.00
MS128 Different style miter jack; made of mahogany, a wooden
screw slides a chop to secure the work in it, both chops
are mitered so that when a plane is run over the flat
surface it trues the work; well made, a smaller size that's
perfect for finer work, the rectangular portion is 13"
long; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t105.jpg $155.00
MS129 Rare Mathieson plunger type saw set; appears in the 1899
Mathieson catalog as stock number 963, I can partially
read the maker's mark; parts are stamped "10", probably
for assembly; four different faces on the plunger, it has
a sliding rest for placing the saw; spring for plunger is
missing, it's a design I've never seen before; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t105.jpg $295.00
MS130 Unusual eggbeater drill of slender lines and nearly 1:1
gear ration; square handle is a black wood, I can't tell
if it's ebony (hang hole in it), the crank knob looks to
be rosewood; 10" long, well made, three jaw chuck appears
custom made; top left:

a honing; top right:

brass is in fine shape, the carrier is rusted, there is

UK design, but with jaws that are 7 1/2" long, it can do
standard wrenching work as well, this thing doubles as a
weight for your workout routine; as found and very uncommon;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t107.jpg $190.00
MS136 Ebony handle try square with elaborate brass inlay detail;
12" long, brass plating on both edges of the handle, the
brass has been polished, owner marks are stamped in it;

MS137 Unique pump drill with rosewood flywheel plated in brass
and turned rosewood pump handle that has turned brass caps;
well made, the caps on the handle match the finial on the

and joy, it may prove to be yours as well; right:

MS138 Graceful 15 1/2 panel plane with rich rosewood stuffing,
molded Cupid's bow bridge, turned knob, and shapely
casting; made by a craftsman with a vision, his work must
have been amazing with this as inspiration, it's unlike
any other I've seen; not as heavy as it might appear, it
was made for regular use; rosewood wedge secures a 2 3/8"
wide replacement by ECE; owner/maker mark stamped in the
wedge, it appears the top of the tote was docked a bit
and pared flat, it fits the hand comfortably; a lovely
example of what antique tools are about, the rosewood
perfectly reflects the thoughtful shape of the casting;

MS139 Rosewood bowsaw; London pattern handles, very well made,
the toggle is missing, you can choose the material and
shape to compliment this saw made of an uncommon wood
for such a saw; the left most portion of the frame has
an old repair after it split near the mortice for the
stretcher; bottom:

MS140 16" boxwood rule; in fine shape, probably new old stock
from the Smallwood shop, ready to go; image suggests it's
warped, it's not; bottom:

MS141 Continental style bench vise with 2 5/8" jaws, the entire
vise assembly can rotate 360 degrees over the clamp; nice
decorative file work, very well made, cleaned and ready
to use, it's way above average for its kind of tool; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t112.jpg $275.00
MS142 12" eggbeater drill with brass gears and bulbous knob and
grip; very well made, chuck accepts center bit, and

right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t112.jpg $135.00
MS143 Large and very low pitch miter plane with decorative brass
bridge, front stuffing, and wedge; not the typical owner
made example, the sole is 12 1/8" long, it's fit with a
12" long 2 1/2 snecked iron by Howarth; a well made plane,
it suffers the usual flaw that cast planes do (especially
when the iron is pitched this low), there is a crack that
radiates from the back of the mouth to either side of the
iron; top:

MS145 Three mortice chisels with patented boxwood handles that
have a metal band inlaid midway to prevent their splinter-
ing; each handle stamped Wilpin Patent and with the number,
I can't recall seeing this design before; the design did
its job as the handles don't look like exploded cigars,
the chisels match each other and are stamped British
Manufacture; cleaned, widths of 1/4", 5/16" (strong), and
3/8"; bottom three:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t114.jpg $185.00
MS146 Owner made plane that serves as a common bench plane and
as a scraper; two opposing handles, between those is a
block that has clamps to secure the blade (none present)
needed to perform the desired function; two cast rails
are to either side of the block to strengthen the stock;
a fair bit of work was put into it, perhaps its maker
planned to patent it, but someone slapped him back to
reality; 16 1/2" long; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t115.jpg $115.00
MS147 Small miter jack; made just like the big ones that can
also serve as a mooring, this one is only 12" long; well
made, showing normal signs of use, it's perfect for truing
smaller moldings; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t115.jpg $185.00

figure for the job; as found, no damage, plating has
dulled, cutter is probably a good old replacement, it's
7/16" wide; bottom left:

MS150 Rare Goodell-Pratt drill press attachment for a common
bench vise; first of its kinds I've seen, GP tool drill
presses in directions thought impossible, this one slides
on/off their bench vise that sold very well; model No.
147, it's cranked by hand, a lever forces the bit into
the work; three jaw chuck, as found, it originally came
with drill points, those are long gone by now; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t117.jpg $375.00
MS151 Larger bench vise for metalwork, it's the bench version
of a leg vise; 3 1/2" jaws, loads of mass, it can cleats
on the top plate and screw for gripping the bench surface
firmly; as found, superficial rust, it will clean to be
a great worker; a solid worker; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t117.jpg $165.00
MS152 Norris smoothing plane for restoration or parts; with the
famous adjuster, somehow the plane lost its lever cap and
iron, the closed tote is split, the main casting is fine,
bun is still solid; a good foundation upon which a worker
plane can be built; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t118.jpg $125.00
MS153 Six larger carving chisels retailed by Atkin&Son; likely
Addis-made, with matching handles, there is a bent gouge,
bent V, a bent skew, a front bent V, a front bent gouge,
and a back bent gouge; each in fine shape, longest is
11+"; great quality workers, the next batch, with rose-
wood handles, came with these; right pile:

MS154 Wood samples in original wooden box, the Lister Collection

are roughly the size of a domino; a very handy item to
educate you; top left:

MS155 Special purpose mallet with what looks to be a rosewood
head on a turned hardwood handle; very well made, the head
tapers to a round edge opposite the flat face; 7" long,
it's not made for hard banging, but for pressing it on the
work; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t119.jpg $90.00
MS156 12" boxwood rule with bevel edge by Smallwood; new old
stock from the Smallwood hoard, a but dirty, a few minor

MS159 Record No.125 convertible eggbeater drill; a design unique
to Record, the top portion can be unscrewed an repositioned
at a right angle to the axis of rotation; complete, still
with the original plug, fine quality, rosewood knob (with
small rim chip) unscrews to reveal the storage for the
bits (none included); better quality than anything Millers
Falls made, and much more versatile than their standard
patterns; bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t121.jpg $110.00
MS160 Record No.2506 double side rabbet with adjustable stop;
I don't believe this one was ever used, it can work
left or right simply by flipping it over, the nose
section can be removed for stopped work; a design first
offered by Preston, it's so sound that Record kept manu-
facturing it after they bought the Preston line; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t122.jpg $110.00
MS161 Sargent No.62 router in its original box; all original
parts it saw careful use and shows wear to the plating
on the sole; its adjustment nut engages the back of the
cutter along its shank; box is in sound shape, the plane
is far less common than the Stanley; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t123.jpg $145.00
MS162 Starrett No.362 Universal bevel protractor with three
blades and in the original case (one locking slide is

MS163 Natural honing stone in original carved wooden holder with
integral handle; holder is carved with the date, 1849, and
with its owner, I Sproson, in stylish detail, were it not
for the date, you'd guess it to be 18th century; stone
shows wear from decades of use, it can be flatted for more
use, the mahogany holder is 10 1/2" long; a very nice thing;

MS165 Pair brass/bronze layout tools, a sliding bevel of good
mass and with a 9" blade, and a square with quirk ogee

escaped being polished, they are of good age and made
well; bottom right two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t124.jpg $120.00
MS166 Pair of hollow augers with tapered shanks for use on a
lathe or in a drill press; made by Ridgeway, with a logo

MS168 Preston tool handle with an assortment of gimlets; the
brass nut is stamped with the Preston name, it's turned

twist them into the work; owner mark in wood, sound
condition; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t125.jpg $125.00
MS169 Odd adjustable wrench with extension portion of the main
forging to prevent the sliding jaw from bending backward
during use; found in England, it has a captive nut to
adjust it, good mass, looks to be manufactured but with
no maker's mark; 8 1/2" long; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t126.jpg $110.00
MS170 Stahl combination nut and pipe wrench; with a sliding
jaw to convert it, it has a pliers-like action to force
the jaws toward each other and pinch the work; similar
to a US design (Wakefield, as I recall), perhaps the firm
licensed it to foreign manufacturers; 9" long and in
sound shape; right:

1 1/8" edge; right:

MS174 Pair of metalworker's shaping anvils; from the estate of
an employee of Towle Silversmiths, the 3 3/4" one is
saddle-shape, the 1 3/4" one is ramp-shape, both have a
shank for fitting into a plate; as found, with some
superficial rust that will easily clean; top two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t129.jpg $95.00
MS175 Three hollowing shaves, one being a very nice 2" one that
appears to be new old stock and never fit with handles,
the other two being irons ones used to shape shoe lasts,
but now as travishers; the topmost one shows the usual
wear to the iron, the middle saw little use, it has an
uncommon mouth adjustment feature, but bottom being the
2" (across edge) manufactured one, I can't make out the
name; a quality lot; bottom three:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t129.jpg $120.00
MS176 Shoe attachment with reversible cleat for walking on ice;
a very well made thing, it's secured to the heel so you
can walk on ice (or logs, if a lumberjack), the cleats
can fold back when you're walking in Versailles or a
saloon and don't want to add texture to the wooden floor;
good age, there's only one, perhaps its original owner
lost a leg (and arm) when paying too much for old tools
elsewhere; top right:

MS177 Nickel plated locator's level by Keuffel&Esser; not to be

plated; 5" long, in sound shape, clearly marked with the
maker's name; bottom:

plating secured with conical nuts; a lovely saw of fine
quality, it never was clean or abused, the nib is still
present; brass plating stamped with maker info, the top
horn has a slender splinter off it that happened long ago,
it's now smooth; 26" blade looks to be 5 1/2pt, the plating

MS182 Rabone No.1031 two-foot boxwood hook rule; an odd thing,
it has a block secured at the 24" graduation so that it
can reference off an edge; in new condition and ready to

a board parallel to the true edge; bottom:

MS184 Three reloading tools; as found, two for crimping shells,
and one a brass lever-actived primer insert, there may
have been another anvil (or it swaps position closer to
the fulcrum point); bottom three:

MS185 Millers Falls Langdon miter box with its original Disston
saw; a much nicer than usual example, it's earlier than
most that are found rusting away unloved in a leaking barn
or garage; no damage to the castings, someone long ago gave
the base a green paint to mark it as his, the back elevator
screw (which, together with the present front one) keep the
saw up off the table, is MIA, it's no biggie as it's not
necessary for it to function; the one everyone wants, I
prefer it be collected at the tool dump, but will post it
as long as you realize that cost won't be low:

MS186 Lever-activated saw set with turned mahogany handle;
probably manufactured, I see no maker's mark, it has an
owner mark; knurled brass nut at the top controls the
amount of bend to the teeth, the blade slips into a slot
between the two brass bits; very well made, never cleaned
or abused, and rather attractive (if a saw set ever can
said to be that); top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t146.jpg $185.00
MS187 6" dovetail/back saw by Buck/London; a fine example that
saw limited use, no damage to the very comfortable handle,
extra fine teeth, a small patch of pitting, the back side
is free of that; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t146.jpg $185.00
MS188 Another Buck/London tool, this one a hollowing shave with
a very tight exaggerated radius for extra deep work; as
found, free of damage, 11 1/2" long, it's roughly 1 3/4"
across the iron where the curvature ends; a very difficult
style to find; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t146.jpg $245.00
MS189 Starrett machinist's bevel; able to contort itself in
positions impossible by a standard bevel, it's as found,
in sound worker shape, with some rust patched on the back
that will clean; top left:

MS190 Preston Patent beading tool; a very popular item that was
reproduced, this is the original with one original cutter;
adjustable fence can be positioned to either side of the

MS191 Small Buck/London brass back saw with turned boxwood
handle and 2 1/2" blade; made for the finest work, it's

MS192 Preston 4" rule and spirit level; in fine, never cleaned
condition, each side is graduated; stamped with the EP

pictures of your favorite selfie in every room; bottom
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t147.jpg $65.00
MS193 Unusual gauge by Hawksworth&Preston (last name is bit
tough to read); manufactured, it's made of mahogany, there
are two brass slides (one on each fact) dovetailed into
the body, they have a scribing point; generally thought to
be for laying out hinges on doors, a long talk last week
in England with some knowledgeable blokes concluded that
it can't be done with this; a few of these have appeared
over the years, it's a mystery what it does, it had to be
for some specialized work of fine quality due to the choice
of material it's made of; top left:
