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
weigh 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 Ending the year with a bang, this Rust's Patent plough
plane is the best known, it's featured in PTAMPIA vol.2
in full color; made at the Union Factory, owned by
Hermon Chapin, this No.239 3/4 apple plane with lignum
arms that carry the bridle assembly to lock the fence
firmly in place, and more importantly, parallel to the
skate, is a work of planemaking art, it's barely used
and is as nice as they come; proving that nothing is ever
done in a vacuum, the plane borrows ideas from the UK
and the US and mashes them together to make this wonderful
creation; I bought this plane long ago from a keen-eye
collector near Fall River, MA, I sold it to another
fellow who allowed it to be photographed for the book,
he later sold it back to me where it's resided in the
Inner Sanctum for roughly ten years; the photographs
alone say more about than I, or anyone else, can:

STANLEY
*******
ST1 #6C corrugated fore plane; a type 11 that has a sweetheart
iron and STANLEY embossed lever cap swapped onto it later
in life; free of damage, in solid worker shape, it can be
honed and used as is; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t1.jpg $110.00
ST2 #6 fore plane; a ca.1890 example with all original parts,
including the uncommon "P" logo iron; first lateral with
the disk to engage the iron, in fine worker shape, some
japanning loss at heel of main casting, a bit of flash
rust on the lever cap that will clean easily; owner stamped
his name neatly in cap iron and iron; can be honed and used
as is; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t1.jpg $115.00
ST3 Clean #20 circular plane; nearly all finish remains, it
be hone and used right out of the box; the best design for
plane concave and convex surfaces/edges; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t2.jpg $180.00
ST4 #4 1/2C corrugated oversize smoothing plane; all original
parts, iron tested in 1941, nicely cleaned, and ready for
work after a honing, a hang hole at the toe has no bearing
on its use; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t4.jpg $110.00
ST5 #604C Bed Rock corrugated smoothing plane; early model with
round sides and three line embossed lever cap, all original
parts, nicely cleaned, and ready to use after a honing; same
frog to bed mating as the more expensive flat side models;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t4.jpg $115.00
ST6 #95 edge trimming block plane with original T.B.Rayl Co.
(of Detroit) decal; in clean condition, earlier model with
patent date embossed, all original parts, a plane all wood-
workers ought to own for squaring edges, trimming end grain,
or cutting bevel edges; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t5.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t5a.jpg $125.00
ST7 Pair of planes, the #100 squirrel tail and #101 thumb; as
found, all original parts, former's iron not marked, latter's
is sweetheart; both show normal finish loss, have no damage,
and are in sound worker shape; bottom two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t5.jpg $75.00
ST8 #720 2" bevel edge chisel; marked with model number, it saw
minimal use as it's 13" long; original handle has tape on
it, I don't know if the handle split or not, it's easy to
find donor handles for these chisels, but finding the 2"
chisel isn't; superficial grime, a worker; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t9.jpg $75.00
ST9 Same as previous, found with previous, but 5/8" wide; with
original handle, model number stamped in socket, 12" long,
tarnish, it sat more than it ever was used; another uncommon
width; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t9.jpg $65.00
ST10 #623 eggbeater drill; stamped with sweetheart logo and patent
applied for, it's in sound worker shape, I believe the handle
is a replacement; three jaw chuck, great quality, Stanley
came into the eggbeater drill market long after Goodell-Pratt
and Miller Falls did, their drills are far less common;
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t10.jpg $60.00
ST11 #39 white material rule; a one-foot, four-fold with sliding
caliper, and German silver trim; marked with model number
and Stanley name, it has an even yellow color, the inside
is brighter than the outside; usual splintering off the
groove for the caliper; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t11.jpg $80.00
ST12 #10 jack rabbet; used just a few times and put away, with
all original parts, it's as clean as a late 1930's example
can be without being brand new; hone and go, this model
plane is normally found in used hard condition, this one
escaped that fate; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t12.jpg $170.00
ST13 #48 match plane; looks to be unused, and is worthy of an
original box, they don't come any cleaner; 1920's pro-
duction, with sweetheart logo on lever cap screw; one
spot of tarnish, the diameter of a common pencil's eraser,
on the handle; the nickel plating on these plane doesn't
not withstand typical use as it's thin and wears quickly,
it's difficult to find these planes in this shape; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t12.jpg $170.00
ST14 #185 burnishing tool in the original box; used to turn a
burr on a scraper blade, it's a handy tool to have at the
bench; early 1960's production, it looks unused; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t13.jpg $65.00
ST15 #2 smoothing plane, the last production longer model that
has "BAILEY" embossed in the main casting; an inch longer
than the previous decades of production, it's a less common
model which many find more useful and comfortable to use;
a very clean worker, the lever cap and iron are from the
1930's and are good replacements; can be honed and used as
is; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t14.jpg $265.00
ST16 #90J bull nose rabbet; the uncommon American production
that was soon moved to England as the plane was much more
popular there (in fact, similar English planes forced
Stanley's hand to produce it, they thought the plane
would be popular in the US, but it wasn't); all original
parts, iron and lever cap have the proper made in US
markings; free of damage, little used, 99% japanning,
a very nice example of a difficult to find model; top
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t14.jpg $390.00
ST17 #201 nickel plated thumb plane; identical in all regards
to the #101 (a #101 casting was used) but with bright
plated finish, this is the cleanest example of this
elusive plane I've seen; it glistens, welder's goggles
may be necessary to view it; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t14.jpg $290.00
ST18 #44 Miller Patent plough plane; with its gunmetal body
and fence, this is the most difficult to find model of the
four plane series, those that show up often have repro-
duction fences, this one is 100% original; never polished
or cleaned, rich golden patina, the model with the slitter;
a few apologies of some munging to the knurling of the
fulcrum screw and the top horn of the rosewood grip was
sheared, a 'feature' found on a large number of all Miller
Patent planes; owner initials in handle, there is no cutter
with the plane, seven original cutters can be had for it
at an additional cost; a very nice example:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t15.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t15a.jpg $1290.00
ST19 Uncommon vintage of the #11 belting plane; last production
with the turned rosewood handle and sweetheart iron that
was tested January, 1940, the example is as clean as they
come, I don't believe it was ever used; bluing on the
screws, this one is perfect for a collection that demands
the best; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t16.jpg $295.00
ST20 #A45 aluminum #45 combination plane; a very uncommon model,
Stanley thought aluminum was a good choice for bench planes
and this, but that proved very wrong as no one bought this
albatross; a decent example, with the very difficult to
fine aluminum cam rest, it has no cutters (those are not
aluminum, but are identical to the standard set supplied
on the sane cast iron models); the more desirable model
with the "A" prefix embossed in the casting; I will make
sure it has all stops and put one cutter in it:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t19.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t19a.jpg $965.00
ST21 #196 curved rabbet plane; in the company's mad rush to crank
out a tool for all occasions, this one flopped miserably as
the need to cut curved rabbets was limited by the time this
plane made its debut; with all original parts, no damage,
the plating has dulled, it's a respectable example for those
who wish to tick all the boxes wrought by the Stanley tool
juggernaut; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t20.jpg $885.00
ST22 Nickel plated #47 dado plane; the first of its kind I've
seen with this finish, it's a very specialized plane that
never sold anywhere near as well as the more versatile #46;
it's a rather scarce plane with the standard japanned finish,
it's gotta be rare with the nickel finish; 90% plating, in
overall fine shape, the lower horn of the tote was pared a
bit as a user must have had large hands and found it un-
comfortable; no cutter, I'll include one from the parts
pile; a plane for a serious Stanley collector; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t21.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t21a.jpg $490.00
ST23 #79 side rabbet; a worker, with adjustable stop, made in
England, most plating remains, a bit of rust on the back
around the Stanley embossing; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t21.jpg $65.00
ST24 #4 1/2 oversize smoothing plane; a mid-1890's model with
all original parts, as found, full length iron, nearly
all japanning, it could stand a clean; knob has a chip
at its base, it's 100% usable as is; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t22.jpg $120.00
ST25 #2 smoothing plane; a 1930's model in as found condition,
in need of a clean, it should do so well as a good amount
of plating remains on the lever cap; a good elbow grease
special; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t22.jpg $170.00
ST26 #5C corrugated jack plane; cleaner than usual shape, from
ca.1930, all original parts, sweetheart iron, dusty from
sitting, it can be hone and used as is; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t23.jpg $90.00
ST27 #40 scrub plane; ca.1930 model with sweetheart iron, it's
as found and in need of a scrubbing (or you can hone the
iron and use it in a proper condition for rough work); no
damage, 75% japanning remains; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t23.jpg $80.00
ST28 #62 low angle jack plane; totally as found (probably under
a jack hammer), this is a fragile plane prone to damage and
missing parts, this one has all that and more; offered for
parts/restoration, it's dirty, the mouth has a chip, the
tote is split, and the mouth's eccentric lever was probably
scrapped during a WWII metal drive; a homely thing for sure,
but perhaps you're sympathetic enough to love it and bring
it back to life; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t24.jpg $135.00
ST29 #919 8" sweep brace; ready to work, it has a stouter chuck
with two jaws, both are the Fray design that continued for
a short time after Stanley acquired the Bridgeport, CT
company to get them in the brace business; a great quality
tool, in better than usual cosmetic condition; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t24.jpg $90.00
ST30 #2 trammel points; Victorian casting, complete, with pencil
clasp, ready to use, these are a necessity for laying out
ellipses and similar complex curves; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t24.jpg $60.00
ST31 #80 scraper; a 1920's model with original sweetheart marked
blade; 90% japanning, solid worker that all woodworkers
should own, some painted numbers from an old collection;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t25.jpg $50.00
ST32 2" #40 Everlasting bevel edge chisel; widest of the popular
design, this one is in sound worker shape; some original
finish on handle, mild tarnish on steel, a bit of minor
pitting at bottom will want to be polished, this one is
worth that effort; 10 1/2" long, an uncommon width; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t32.jpg $80.00
ST33 #605 1/2C Bed Rock corrugated oversize jack plane; offered
for parts, or a bargain worker, the left cheek is cracked;
the old style 2 1/4" width iron and lever cap (STANLEY em-
bossed on this one), you can't salvage the frog from any
other size bed rock; good lever cap, sweetheart iron, tall
knob, many parts here to resurrect yours; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t33.jpg $80.00
ST34 #5 1/2 oversize jack plane; heavier casting from WWII era,
with full adjustment features, carefully used, all original
parts, it can be honed and used as is; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t35.jpg $120.00
ST35 #5 1/2C corrugated oversize jack plane; a ca.1930 model with
decal on tote and sweetheart logo iron; 90% japanning, no
damage, can be honed and put to work as is; some very minor
'texture' on sides can be left of lapped out, I wouldn't
bother though; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t35.jpg $130.00
ST36 #4 smoothing plane; never used, never completely unwrapped,
with care and use pamphlet, made during the mid-1950's; a
perfect plane for those just staring out; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t42.jpg $115.00
ST37 #71 1/2 closed throat router; a very clean 1920's production
with most plating, it has a single 1/2" cutter; bottom
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t42.jpg $80.00
ST38 #60 1/2 and #9 1/2 block planes; as found ca.1970 production,
no damage, could use a clean, the eccentric mouth adjuster
is MIA for the #9 1/2, that's easy to find; bottom right
two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t42.jpg $60.00
ST39 Uncommon 18" #25 rosewood handle try square; the longest of
the popular series, this is an earlier production that has
the patent date stamped on the graduated blade; tab for
resting on the work, nicely cleaned, owner initial scratched
in blade, and stamped in handle, the markings suggest it
came out of a patternshop; a difficult to find size; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t46.jpg $110.00
ST40 #8C corrugated jointer; early 1930's model with all original
parts, sweetheart iron, it saw little use but managed to
lose most of the japanning around the tall knob; single
patent date, as found, it's solid worker with or without
the japanned finish; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t47.jpg $155.00
ST41 #50 plough and beading plane; early UK production (those
blokes there loved this plane) in the original box, barely
used, and with all parts; a fine worker; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t49.jpg $155.00
ST42 #5 jack plane; made right after WWII, with the thicker
casting, full adjustments, and stained hardwood, it saw
very little use and can be put back to work with only a
honing; minor finish loss on knob, the thicker and heavier
casting is a benefit to successful planing, this one will
make a fine worker for those who a new to hand tools; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t51.jpg $90.00
ST43 #118 low angle steel block plane, never used and in the
original box; ca.1970 production, all it needs is a honing,

for no good reason; left:

early production, with Fray-like jaws and patent date
stamped where the ratchet joins the frame; a simple collar
is turned to engage the ratchet, left or right; as found,
normal cosmetic wear, ready to use; the concealed ratchet
can't let dust and grime get at it, which can happen with
other ratchet designs; right:

ST47 #97 chisel plane; an as found and free of damage ca.WWI
model with V-logo iron to match your type 11 planes; nearly

ST48 #113 circular plane; a very clean ca.1900 example that can
be honed and used as is; all original parts, full Bailey
pattern adjustments (earlier models don't have this), it's
a popular plane for concave and convex curves, the sole
can flex a bit for working non-uniform curvatures, which
makes is a very popular plane for boat builders; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t65.jpg $135.00
ST49 #148 match plane; the replacement of the #48 tongue and
groove plane, this one was easier to manufacture, it does
exactly what the #48 does; free of damage, most plating
remains; bottom:

ST50 #66 beader; a clean plated example with both original fences

ST57 2" #20 Everlasting chisel; used a few times and put away
just for you; with the waist handle, 12 3/4" long, it's a
great example of a very popular design where the wooden
handle is 'riveted' into the socket so it can't come out;
all it needs is a honing; widest of the series, it's
opposite side of the size range brother is listed below;
middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t89.jpg $135.00

ST62 5/8" #750 bevel edge chisel; stamped with model number, it

original parts, it can be honed and used as is; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t103.jpg $185.00
ST65 #45 combination plane; a barely used, and complete, ca.
1905 "B" casting in the tin box with sliding cover; no
cleaning or messing about is required to use this one,
grab a cutter, hone it, and start grooving to a #45; box's
paint shows decades of battle scars to the finish, it's
what kept the plane so tasty:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t104.jpg $225.00
ST66 Clean earlier #46 dado and rabbet plane; a very nice example
that pre-dates the slitting, the original (and useless) wrap
around stop is present; 10 original cutters, this plane saw
very little use, it's a great worker or one for the shelf,
one snapped in two, with fewer cutters, recently sold on an
web auction site for nearly the price of this one:

ST67 #4 smoothing plane in the original Christmas box; Stanley
offered a range of tools in such boxes during the 1950's,
this one looks to be unused (the receiver probably wanted
a Barbie doll instead), some tarnish from sitting idle;

stuff in a stocking with no wrapping required; top left:

ST71 #604 Bed Rock smoothing plane; from the Great Basement Flood

be in order except for my memory with this one; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t111.jpg $115.00

and saw little used; stamped with model number, some plating
loss, if you layout regular polygons, this is a very useful
tool; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t126.jpg $90.00
ST78 New old stock box of #86 flat blade screw drivers; with 5"
blades, all are here, never once turned a screw or opened

the smaller set of nine, diameters that run from 1/8" to 1"

having the 1/16" increments; great quality, ready to go;

WOOD PLANES
**** ******
WP1 Skewed rabbet/panel raise made of figured maple; a finely
made plane that has an adjustable brass fence, it carries
a double iron by William Ash; works 1 1/2" to 2" widths,
moving the fence (it's secured with two screws) allows it
to work a range of narrower widths; can cut shallow rabbets
and raised panels that have a flat rather than beveled
edge; shim was tacked onto the stop for some custom job,
it can easily be removed; a well made plane, 10" long;
top:

https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t3a.jpg $110.00
WP2 H.Wetherel/Chatham yellow birch round; made when he left
Massachusetts for Connecticut during his early working
days, it has the characteristics of early New England
planemaking - yellow birch, flat chamfers, relieved wedge,
9 3/4" long; no owner mark, maker's mark is a bit weak,
but fully readable, the plane started out in life as a
round, but the radius plane flat for whatever reason an
owner thought necessary; refinished, a decent example of
an uncommon mark made ca.1780; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t3.jpg $385.00
WP3 Lovely toted apple screw arm plough plane by Bensen &
Crannell of Albany, NY; one of the nicest apple ploughs
I've seen since I can't remember when, great patina with
some subtle figure, this one sat far more than it ever
was used; boxwood arms, nuts, and washers contrast nicely
with the apple, a couple inconsequential thread chips at
the end; owner mark, these Albany planes are some of my
favorites due to the crisp lines and slightly smaller
size than those produced by nearly all other makers; if
an apple plough is on your radar to use or collect, this
one will definitely be the apple of your eye:

WP4 New old stock mahogany and birch horned smoothing plane by
Langeskov; a striking appearance to the Danish plane that's
fit with a 1 7/8" wide double iron by Weiss, it's 9 1/2"
long; a tried and true design popular in Germany and Austria,
it can be honed and used as is; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t33.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t33a.jpg $95.00
WP5 Ulmia 24" jointer; little used, but somewhat dirty from
sitting, it's a fine quality tool that sold well around the
world for decades; beech stock with applied hornbeam sole,
loads of mass, a solid worker; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t34.jpg $95.00
WP6 Beech smoothing plane; 2" double iron, used a few times
and put away, manufactured (by Marples or Emir), some
paint streaks on sole (obligatory that wooden bench planes
have this, it must be an initiation right); a good quality
worker; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t37.jpg $65.00
WP7 Moving fillister by Moseley; in normal cosmetic condition
for a plane that saw a good bit of use, there's still plenty
more left in it; fully boxed shoulder, wedge nicker iron,
adjustable stop and fence set the dimensions of the rabbet;
owner marks, banging on wedge finial, this style plane is
the best for cutting rabbets in any grain direction; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t39.jpg $110.00
WP8 Owner made thumbnail; about a 3/8" diameter, the plane is
used to round square edges with the classic quarter round
profile; made of beech, shavings in mouth, I'd square the
fence so it's parallel to the stop; a size not commonly
found in the vintage plane world; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t39.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t39a.jpg $55.00
WP9 1 1/4" skewed rabbet with nicker iron; made by Greenfield
Tool Co., it shows normal signs of use, is free of modi-
fication, a sound worker; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t40.jpg $45.00
WP10 D.R.Barton double iron sash plane; boxed profile with the
shoulder boxed, it cuts the classic square ovolo; free of
modification, lightly clean, normal superficial checks in
end grain, a solid worker; bottom:

https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t51a.jpg $85.00
WP11 5/8" square ovolo by Griffiths/Norwich; free of modification,
owner mark, a sound worker after a sharpening:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t53.jpg $60.00
WP12 Winsted Plane Co. toted rosewood plough plane with boxwood
wedge, arms, nuts, and washers; a fine example, very lightly
cleaned, never altered, no owner mark, the model number,
No.240, stamped in heel; with a matching full set of irons,
those will be mailed later as I forgot them in the midwest;
a lovely plane:

WP13 Boxed bead, fillet, and bead; a good re-work on what pro-
bably was a bead, it was made by A.&E.Baldwin; cuts 7/8"
across, this profile is commonly used on the edge of
shelving to make two cockbeads, one at the top and one
at the bottom; a subtle detail that jazzes up what's
otherwise a square edge; cleaned and fully functional,
a bit of wear on the outermost (relative to the fence)
quirk:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t66.jpg $75.00
WP14 3/4" (depth of cut) quirk ovolo and astragal by W.Parkes;
a classic profile sized for today's standard stock thick-
ness, it's free of modification; lightly cleaned, owner
mark:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t70.jpg $85.00
WP15 Odd 13" miter/block plane by J.E.Child, a notable maker from
Providence, RI: lower pitched iron is mounted bevel up, a
strike button at the toe for backing the wedge off; little
used, owner mark, free of modification, it should make a
fine worker; a plane similar to what was used in England,
I can't recall seeing an American one like this before as
they are normally shorter length; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t71.jpg $115.00
WP16 Early 10 1/8" quick ogee and astragal; with a relieved
wedge, made of beech, flat chamfers, never cleaned or
altered, it cuts a 1/2" deep by 1 1/8" profile of early
proportions; free of owner marks, it saw very little use
and can be used for those who want to replicate period
work; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t85.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t85b.jpg $110.00
WP17 S.Pomeroy 1/2" ogee; never messed with unused for a few
centuries, free of modification, flat chamfers, beech
body, 9 1/2" long, no owner mark; dry surface, a nice
example of a maker who worked in Northampton, MA and
Windsor, VT for a few decades either side of 1800;
bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t85.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t85c.jpg $255.00
WP18 Well made screw arm toted plough plane with molded fence
at toe and heel; looks to be manufactured, but no maker's
name, it has boxwood arms, nuts, and washers with beech
for fence, wedge, and stock; in solid worker shape, nicely
cleaned, this is standard tool for cutting grooves:

https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t86b.jpg $165.00
WP19 D.Copeland/Hartford 7/8" match plane with steel plated
fences; as found, a bit scruffy, they will clean to make
sound workers for cutting the tongue and groove joint in
3/4" to 1" thick stock; left pair:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t87.jpg $70.00
WP20 A.Howland toted match planes with steel plated fences; very
clean and little used, designed to center the groove on
7/8" thick stock, they work 3/4" to 1" thickness; owner
mark; right pair:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t87.jpg $90.00
WP21 5 3/4" exotic wood block plane by J.W.Pearce with Providence,
RI location, both of which are stamped in the wood and on
the iron; with a rosewood body and boxwood edge, this one
saw very little use, it's as found, uncleaned, and free of
owner markings; a maker known for his crazy combinations
of woods on plough planes, he has an interesting history
being born in Wrentham, MA (home of the Nicholsons) and
apprenticed to Ezekiel Smith, son of Aaron Smith; this
mark is uncommon, more so on such a wee plane; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t90.jpg $390.00
WP22 Horned toothing plane by Ulmia; older production, it's
configured like their popular smoothing planes, with a
grip behind the nearly vertical iron and a horn grip (rear
was slightly pared for greater comfort); applied hornbeam
sole, the plane shows normal signs of use, it has decades
more life left in it; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t110.jpg $65.00
WP23 #8 hollow and round pair by G.Davies; uncleaned, but waxed,
they are a popular size for working moldings; mouths very
slightly opened, still 100% usable, I'd remove the wax with
turpentine; bottom pair:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t110.jpg $70.00
WP24 5/8" skewed rabbet by Atkin&Son; a narrow as found worker,
with owner mark, free of alteration; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t114.jpg $45.00
WP25 7/8" quirk ogee by Griffiths/Norwich; a design peculiar to
English makers with an auxiliary strip screwed at the fence
to cut the normal profile, it can be removed when a bead or
astragal is worked to make the profile more complex; in
fine unmolested condition, no owner marks, it saw very little
use; a very nice plane:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t115.jpg $95.00
WP26 1/2" cove by P.A.Gladwin&Co.; a clean worker that's 1/2"
square, it's dry and dusty from Walter Harrod's shop where
it sat for decades unused; fence and stop have a strip
tacked on when a custom profile was called for, those are
easily removed:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t116.jpg $65.00
WP27 5/8" (depth of cut) cove and astragal by Kennedy/Hartford;
it's also stamped with a CT name that later moved to NY to
become a quite an inventor, J.Doty Jr.; this appears to be
an earlier Doty mark as the Jr. is above the bottom line of
the stamp shown in AWP; as found, dry surface, from the
Harrod hoard, heel has a line in it, probably from setting
a dovetail saw:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t117.jpg $165.00
WP28 5/8" (depth of cut) reverse ogee; by W.Parkes, this plane
has the same upturned area adjacent to the fence like WP25
has, it's designed to accept a strip of wood to use the
plane to cut only the ogee, this one never had the strip
as it likely was always used with a bead/astragal to make
the profile more complex; no owner mark, banging on heel,
it saw little use:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t118.jpg $85.00
WP29 1" dado by J.F.&G.M.Lindsey, the heel is also stamped with
the Worcester firm of White&Conant; an uncommon width, clean
and little used, it can be honed and used as is; cutting
dados is effortless with these planes and you don't have to
worry about losing fingers or bloodying the work; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t119.jpg $95.00
WP30 5/8" dado by Moseley&Son; free of modification, owner mark,
sound worker shape, and a less common widths; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t119.jpg $85.00
WP31 Odd numbered matching hollow and round set by Moseley&Son;
ready to compliment your even numbered set, 16 of the 18
planes are here, each in find worker shape (one with a
check on the left side of the mouth); never cleaned or
altered, far less common than even numbered examples, owner
mark, the two missing planes are the 3R and 7R; a bargain
over what a complete set costs:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t120.jpg $355.00
WP32 Matching graduated set of seven side beads; extra clean,
barely used, same owner mark, free of modification, they
are much nicer than what's normally found; diameters of
1/8", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 5/8", 7/8", and 1"; maker is
Garnder of Bristol:

WP33 Very steeply pitched square and reverse ogee by W.Raymond
with an early N.Safford imprint (now listed in the new
edition of AWP); obviously made for very hard or tenacious
grained woods, the plane is a found, never refinished, the
wedge has a split that can easily be glued; broad flat
chamfers, Raymond worker in Beverly, MA during the late
1700's into the early 1800's; cuts a 1/2" deep profile,
this is a nice plane awaiting restoration; owner scratched
initials over maker and Safford mark, the latter is also
stamped in heel; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t133.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t133a.jpg $110.00
WP34 #2 hollow and round pair by Copeland&Co; as found, dry
surface, free of modification, owner mark, hollow's iron
is rusty and needs a clean; the narrowest of the even
number set, they will make sound workers; bottom two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t133.jpg $75.00
WP35 Odd Griffiths/Norwich profile that I believe is used to
make an airtight joint on thicker stock; working like a
halving plane, each edge of the mating boards have this
profile worked, they are then banged together to form the
S-shape joint; in fine shape, with owner mark, never modi-
fied, Griffiths made some of the most unusual of all planes
in England; certainly a rare profile:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t134.jpg $145.00
WP36 McPherson (Scotland) double iron square ovolo and cove; the
planemakers of Scotland had a multiple iron fetish, it seems
they went out of their way to make planes that could be made
with one iron out of many irons; a nice profile commonly
found at the cornice, it's a good size for cabinetwork as
it works 3/4" deep; with owner mark, never cleaned or modi-
fied, years of use are shown in the wear of the original
finish, you can see how the plane was gripped:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t135.jpg $125.00
WP37 Large quirk ogee and astragal by Gough&Bowen; cuts a 1"
deep by 1 1/2" wide profile of good proportions, the plane
saw very little use, it's free of modification; owner mark,
insignificant chip in boxing at the heel, this is very
common when quirks are boxed; a very nice plane:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t136.jpg $135.00

production with oval logo, cleaned, barely any japanning
remains; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t5.jpg $70.00
MS3 10" Perfect Handle drawknife; one of the best drawknife
designs offered, the single forging has grips riveted onto
the forging, they never can twist or pull off; cleaned,
steel is not smooth, but textured, the back can be polished
as needed; a quality tool, it's a wonder more of them didn't
sell (probably more expensive to manufacture) top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t6.jpg $80.00
MS4 8" (edge length) drawknife with adjustable chamfer guides;
made (probably by Witherby) for E.C.Simmons hardware, it
has the Keen Kutter logo stamped in it; cleaned and only

the keeper to maintain the chamfer width when removed from
the knife; middle:

MS5 3 3/4" (edge length) drawknife; a nicely made tool, the

MS6 All iron brace with patent date of March 31, 1857 clearly
stamped on the frame where it bends upward to accept the
head; in fine shape, this appears to be Abel Streeter's
patent for frame construction, it uses a simple thumb
screw to secure the bit; 8" sweep, not a common brace;
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t7.jpg $110.00
MS7 8" sweep iron frame brace; no maker's mark, but probably
manufactured, its subtle details and turned hardwood head
suggest American manufacture; chuck uses a thumb screw to
secure the bit; nicely cleaned, there may have been a
brass disk in the head; a solid tool that will work as
nicely as it looks; right:

MS8 12" shipwright's double bevel by Belcher Brothers (spelled
out thus) New York; no graduations, two brass blades to
maintain the set, rule has been clean, mark is weak, but
readable, a bit of blacking will do it wonders; early
production and an uncommon tool by this firm that has its
roots in England; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t8.jpg $85.00
MS9 S.S.Norton Colchester, Connecticut rosewood mortice gauge;
full brass plating on the fence, arm has longer than usual
brass plating, it's also graduated; thumb screw sets the

bit short, but still usable; a rather uncommon maker; top

MS10 Pair of Winchester tools, a lineman's pliers and a scissors;
both stamped with the Winchester logo, as found, scissors
retain most of the plating, the pliers shows signs of much
use, with some pitting, they are not a common mode; bottom
two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t8.jpg $75.00
MS11 1/8" E.A.Berg Eskiltuna chisel; full decal on the turned
handle, used just a few times, as close to new as a lightly
used chisel can be; best quality steel, and an uncommon
width; 9 1/4" long; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t9.jpg $60.00
MS12 Odd fret saw; looks to be manufactured and is similar to
the patented ones found in beech and rosewood, this one
may be an earlier production, the frame is square stock
rather than round; 14" throat, with blade, great quality,
a sound worker; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t10.jpg $75.00
MS13 Miniature slide rule in its original case; by Power Specialty
Co. of New York, 4 1/4" long, in sound shape, it may take
some doing to figure the square root of -1 with this one;

MS14 Miniature traveller; fancy casting, just 2" long, well made,

MS15 Painted Whitney's Hand Drill in its original hinged wooden
box; patented May 4, 1886 for bit construction, it was
retailed by Tower&Lyon of New York City; 99% of japanning
and colorful pinstriping/paint remains; original chuck
wrench and three of the six original drill points are
present; some label loss; 10 1/2" long; American Victorian
era toolmaking at its best; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t13.jpg $685.00
MS16 Chaplin's #4 size smoothing plane; a super clean example
that was used a couple times and then put away; with the
early lever cap, iron, and adjuster, it's the link be-
tween the later improved production, the main casting is
ribbed and corrugated, tote is hard rubber, knob is wood;
a design that competed well with Stanley's bench planes,
it's likely a mega-upgrade to the one in your collection;
the poor image doesn't capture the bright nickel plating
on the lever cap, adjuster, and lever cap screw; right:

MS17 Eleven twist drills (for a brace) by Cleveland Twist Drill;

https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t17.jpg $135.00
MS19 Union Plane Mfg. Co. #49 version match plane; I've forgotten
all the different model numbers that Stanley's crosstown
rival produced, it's no matter in this case as it's the rare
Stanley offering after that company bought out Union's line;
identical in form and function to the Stanley, Stanley had
to rid the plane of the Union name and model number, they
did this by grind the embossing of each and then applying
black finish to mask the grinding; done ca.1930, Stanley
stuck a decal on the tote so that there would be no doubt
it was Stanley's work; probably sold on the secondary
market, or at a lower cost than the Stanley, this and its
larger brother, the #48 Union (which received the same
treatment) are quite uncommon; this example retains nearly
all its finish, the plating shows some superficial tarnish
and rust that will easily clean, it's about as nice as this
plane can be found; it's my belief that Union was Stanley's
first dip into a lesser quality tool line and that Stanley
saw there was a market for such tools, which led Stanley to
do a complete takeover of the firm to make it extinct;

MS30 Jazzy cabinet scraper made of laminated contrasting wood;

as is; top:

found, one of the pewter bands (on the grip) let go, some

MS41 3" bronze miniature router with 3/8" cutter; made by a
patternmaker for his own use, it's obvious he saw his mate's
Sargent model and copied it's two hole design for moving

holes for attaching a wooden sole, it's a sound worker;

MS42 Record No.2506 side rabbet with adjustable stop; cuts left

MS49 3 1/4" bull nose thumb plane; like the Stanley #100 1/2,
it differs a bit by the integral cast 'wings' for a better
grip; UK production, it's planes like these that prompted
Stanley to offer similar ones on both sides of the Atlantic;
all original parts, no damage, a sound worker; top left:

MS50 6" beech spoke shave with 1 1/4" cutter; perfect for finer

https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t43.jpg $40.00
MS52 Chaplin-like cast iron shooting plane along with a good
owner made wooden board that has an adjustable stop; one
of many Chaplin clones, which proves its sound design, the
unmistakable grip, lever cap, and casting show the influence
of O.R.Chaplin's effort; many were made by patternmakers for
their own use, this is such a plane, its owner embossed his
initials at the toe; skewed mouth offers a slicing action
as it's moved across the wood, it's free of chips/alteration;
cleaned, remnants of original red finish, the brass grip and
lever cap appear never to have been plated; plane is 17 1/2"
long:

MS53 Siegley #8 size jointer; with all original parts, this is
a rather uncommon of the firm's longest iron plane; in

and was one of the major competitors of Stanley; a good
example; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t45.jpg $110.00
MS54 Metallic Plane Co. jointer; the complex model with complex
adjustments that pitch, set, and laterally move the iron;
an amazing bit of engineering, this is sound example of the
Palmer&Storke's Patent, the three levers are all cast and
then assembled in a manner that somewhat resembles a UK
motorway's junction; all original parts, everything works
as it should, adjustable mouth, corrugated sole, refinished,
this is a nice example that sold better than it probably
should have, they beat Stanley to the punch with many
features is probably why it did sell fairly well (but proved
very fragile); bottom:

MS55 Closed scorp (circular drawknife) on extra long 15 1/2"
handle; for rugged work and for reaching deeper into closed
areas, the business end forms a 4" diameter circle; in
usual condition, though cleaned, the steel shows the
fine pitting, it can be sharpened and polished to be a solid
worker, its last owner decided to leave it as found; a very
uncommon size; top:

MS56 Clean Irwin auger set in the original hinged wooden case
with care and feeding instructions; the set of ten, with
diameters from 4/16" to 8/16" in 1/16" increments, with
10/16" to 12/16", 14/16", and 16/16", Irwin found that

Process Twist Drill Co. of Taunton, MA, this is much more

impossible to knock over; stores 1/16" to 1/2" in 1/64"
increments; nickel plated, some loss, 100% functional;
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t48.jpg $75.00
MS59 Cast iron adjustable barrel plane; designed to be used with
a lathe, it carries a common plane iron to smooth the outside
of a barrel as it's spun on the lathe; while it might be
enjoyable to do it freehand, it has an eye in which a tether
is attached to keep it from leaping off the barrel and into
your face; with that safety measure in mind, it still must
have been a frightening experience using this thing let alone
running the risk of the barrel flying apart or coming off
the centers; manufactured, and uncommon, I stumble across
them as there were many cooperages where I live; in sound
shape, you add the iron, but, please, don't add the lathe
and barrel; right:

MS69 Goodall-Pratt bench grinder; screws onto a board/bench, not
clamps like most, it's one of the best designs that seems
to rotate forever with a few cranks; original rest, as found,
will benefit from a clean and some oil, GP grinders didn't
sell well as other makers offered lesser quality productes
at a lower price; left:

MS78 16" Zephaniah Phillips May 10, 1870 patent plane; a design
that modifies existing wooden bench plane to fit them with
a mechanism to set the iron and dispense with the wooden
wedge, it's a clever design, but with too many cast iron
parts, and appearing at a time when metallic bench planes
were gaining traction in the market, it was doomed to be a
failure, examples are very uncommon; free of damage, the
plane was cleaned, all screws/parts are present; a good
example of how bench planes evolved from simple wooden
planes that could be a bit fussy to set/adjust, several
attempts were made by many inventors, all short-lived and
failures; top:

trades that did curved work used, two are double iron (cut
left and right) that cut to adjacent beads (on each iron),
these two have always been together and are the same pro-
file but different sizes; other two are scrapers with brass
and steel plated soles that are curved side to side, one

MS97 Odd precision 9" level made by (or for use in the) Niles
Bement Pond Co. Pond Works Plainfield, NJ; a well made tool,
1 1/2" square, original proved vial; a maker of machinery
during the early 1900's, this was probably used to set up
the machines during installation; in sound shape, minor
tarnish, loads of mass, and certainly a rare item; top:

MS100 Rosewood scraper with curved handles, the manufactured kind
(but by which firm?) favored by gunsmiths and similar trades
that used fine tools; 9 1/2" long with 1 3/4" wide blade,
the sole is neatly shaped so it can work curved edges; free
of damage, a nice tool; bottom:

two notches, I have no idea what this one is for, the back

MS105 Lufkin No.138C diemaker's square; clean, with all three
blade, in the original box, fine quality, America's auto-

MS106 4 3/4" metal level with three cutouts for viewing the vial;

MS107 Sargent No.410 oversize smoothing plane; the equivalent
of the Stanley #4 1/2, it does what the Stanley does for
less money; about as clean as they come, only in need of
a honing, all original parts, minor finish loss on the
mahogany knob and toe; a solid worker; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t78.jpg $110.00
MS108 Victor #6 size fore plane; Leonard Bailey's second stab at
revolutionary plane design, done after he left Stanley over
a royalties dispute, the Victor line of planes is one of
the decorative of all, they are entirely metal (though the
bench plane could be ordered with rosewood totes); as
found, all original parts, no damage, normal cosmetic loss,
the heel of the iron has a slight bend that can easily be
banged flat; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t79.jpg $395.00
MS109 Steers' Patent No.305 jack plane with the dovetailed rose-
wood strips in the sole (done to reduce friction); a nice
and never messed with example that has all the original
parts, including the normally filed down pin that engages
slots in the iron; as found, the tote has the normal
damage of the horn parting company long ago, the totes of
these planes are far to fragile and most are broken; an
area of pitting on the left cheek can be lapped out, I'd
leave it; bottom:

auger (to turn a round tenon), it has a graduated adjustable
shank to set the working diameter; as found, dusty, all
original parts, most japanning remains; top left:

MS111 Clean Millers Falls carving chisel set; in the original
wooden box, with full label inside, these are the less
common medium length 8" size; designated Set No.2; they
are barely used and only in need of a honing; a variety
of common shapes for learning carving, professionals also
found them very useful as I find singles in chests/boxes
of carving chisels; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t80.jpg $85.00
MS112 New old stock Plumb 3lb metal hammer; as nice as they come,
with full decal on the polished and japanned head; it's a
sign of quality that such a 'lowly' hammer would receive
this kind of finish, these larger hammers are difficult to
find in this condition; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t81.jpg $110.00
MS113 5 3/4" Belgian coticule natural honing stone; a fine ex-
ample that saw barely any use, it's a mined two-color,
not a manufactured one; 1 1/2" wide, these are prized
stones that can bring crazy money on auction sites, this
one is fairly flat, but not perfectly so; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t81.jpg $125.00
MS114 Disston 8" backsaw; a much nicer than usual example that
was never abused, handle has no chipping, a "4" stamped in
it; tarnish spots, this will make a fine worker; top:

MS115 Three English wooden spokeshaves, two of which have US
retail stamps; far cleaner than normal examples, two are
boxwood, one with brass plating on the sole; cutters only

most wear), and 2 1/8" (blade has bright etching of
"CELEBRATED JOINERS TOOLS"; made by Marples for A.Field

that well; left:

worker, 16" long, no handle; top:

MS120 7" all metal patented level patented by William Morton of
New Haven, CT; stamped with patent date of December 22,
1896, the design calls for a means of fine adjustment of
the vials which are within brass assemblies; stamped
"ROLLIS", this must be the manufacturer, but it's unknown
which firm that is; well made, and uncommon, with owner
initials; bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t84.jpg $295.00
MS121 Same as previous, but a 5 1/4" pocket size with a trap-
ezoidal shape; also stamped with patent date and ROLLIS

MS122 Dated and named all metal adjustable square; dated 1855,
it's from Glasgow and stamped with R.Pringle's name; with
a 21 1/2" long steel blade, the shaped head is slotted to
allow the blade to slide through it, a thumb screw locks
it in place; well made, normal tarnish, it looks to be a
coachmaker's or stonemason's tool, I suspect the former;

MS123 F.A.Howard&Son Belfast, ME push drill; stamped with name,

handle, works well, 11" long (not counting screw driver
bit); left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t88.jpg $135.00
MS124 Early Millers Falls production brace with the Amidon chuck
of July 14, 1868; with wood head and grip, never cleaned
or abused, smooth action to the well designed chuck, 10"
sweep, this is an uncommon brace that was dropped from
the product line during the early 1870's; frame is stamped
with info, but it's difficult to read; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t88.jpg $165.00
MS125 Brass frame brace stuffed with ebony; the improved Ulti-
matum pattern that uses a spring loaded lever to secure
the bit; manufactured by Marsden&Son, it's a very nice,
never messed with, as found example of British brace
design; owner name neatly stamped in the jet black ebony,
loads of mass, a great worker, it's difficult to figure
the appeal of modern stuff when these are works of art;
top:

MS126 Cheney ball peen hammer; with 1 7/8" long head, most of
the original decal on the handle, it appears to be unused;
best quality, and perfect for smaller work; middle:

MS130 Standard Tool Co. adjustable double square with miter; a
very uncommon tool by this early maker, which, in my opinion,
made some of the finest precision tools in America, I can't
recall having one of these before and I live close to where
they were made; all with a locking screw that allows the
handle to slide along the 4" rule, it's as found with normal
tarnish, a small spot of pitting at one corner of the rule
doesn't detract; graduated rule, with offset groove, is
stamped with company name; a rare one; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t92.jpg $395.00
MS131 Another Standard Tool Co. work of engineering art, their
6" quick adjust wrench; pushing a bar frees the lower jaw
to slide effortlessly up/down the shaft to set the width
on a nut, the fine adjustment screw does the final tighten-
ing; in fine working shape, the bright surface suggest a
clean some time ago, it has normal wrench dermatitis (a
bit of pitting); left:

fine shape, ready to gavel your shop to order; right two:

MS133 New old stock wide gouge; made by Sculpture House during
the 1960's, it (and the next two) was bought for a carving

MS136 Sargent point of sale lock set display; showing how the
doorknob, deadbolt, and lock are mounted and work, it sits
upright on a counter; with original key, and fully functional,
it has a 1960's look to it; Sargent tag attached to the wood,
it's as found and a bit dirty, it will clean nicely; made
at a time when the New Haven firm was leaving tool pro-
duction to its northerly neighbor and concentrating on door
hardware, something the New Britain firm is now likewise
doing; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t95.jpg $185.00
MS137 Joiner's mallet made of lignum vitae; beech handle is
friction fit in a tapered hole through the trapezoidal
head, there is no way for the head to fly off the handle

together; right:

alignment pins have been yanked; bottom two:

UK made; left:

MS142 Record 043 small plough plane; preferred for use on small
drawers and boxes, its size and three cutters (1/8", 3/16",
and 1/4") are perfect to cut the grooves for drawer bottoms
to slide into; complete, with restored original box; a very
popular plane then and now; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t98.jpg $115.00
MS143 Millers Falls No.38 eggbeater drill with concealed gears;
like the #5, a casting covers the gears on the knob side
so that junk can gum up the works; as found, in need of a
clean, a good amount of original finish remains; a sound
worker; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t99.jpg $55.00
MS144 Pair of Preston sash templates; made of brass, two sizes,
each guides a chisel to miter a molding, commonly on frames
so it can be coped to mate a joining member of the frame;
in sound shape, shortest is 4 1/4" at base and looks unused,
longest 5 3/4" and shows normal knocks and scuffs; if you do
framed joinery, these are very handy to have; right two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t99.jpg $65.00
MS145 Decorative wooden T-shape level with brass plumb bob; a
well made and timeless tool, the vertical leg is joined to
the horizontal and is kept rigid with braces; good old color,
28" long, a proper vintage one, the plumb bob was MIA so I
put a turned brass one on it, it's a bit large for it as
they normally used small brass or lead bobs:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t100.jpg $165.00
MS146 Group of chisels and gouges (with a couple extra tools
found with them) by J.Cam; earlier stuff, they have unique
turned handles of ash (I think); as found, most are by Cam,

but still usable, widest is about 1/2":
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t101.jpg $110.00
MS147 Seven new old stock screw drivers by Tuck; two patterns,
four with the London pattern style jazzy handle, 3 with

variety of useful shapes aimed at beginners or for general
work; fine quality; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t103.jpg $80.00
MS150 Millers Falls adjustable jointer gauge; the company's
answer to the more fragile (and costly) #386, this one
can clamp onto smoothing planes whereas the #386 can't,
it also clamps onto anything larger than a smoothing plane
to assist planing an edge a right angle to the face or for
accurately beveling an edge; as found, free of damage, a
bit dirty, it'll clean to be a fine worker; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t107.jpg $60.00
MS151 Preston No.1386 fillister/rabbeting shave; complete, with

MS153 Millers Falls No.744 Size 2 1/2 Langdon miter box; a super
clean and barely used example that's in ready to use con-
dition, I'm showing my ignorance of these miter boxes as
I don't know if this model came with the adjustable stop
(it has holes for it on the sides); if so, it's otherwise
complete, noting that one original depth stop bracket is
missing, I sourced another that's 1" shorter, it'll work
fine; about as clean as they come when not in the original
shipping crate, some paint splatters for character, it has
the sliding stops for sawing curved work; preference to
local pick-up is the plan here, I'll only ship as a last
resort (I don't enjoy packing these things):

MS154 R.B.Haselton Contoocook, NH six foot logging stick with
the famous eagle stamp; a rare length, this one shows
normal signs of wear, the eagle stamped, with wings fully
spread, is one of the most icon maker's marks ever used
on vintage tools; too long to photograph, I snapped the
mark and some of the graduations, imagine six feet of
those and that's what you'll get; perhaps not long enough
to pole vault over a cord, but definitely over a quarter
cord; can be shipped:

MS156 Versa-Vise with two bases; a vise that can do all sorts of
work other vises have a difficult time doing, it can be
flipped on its side 90 degrees to mount on the same base;
most original green finish, grungy from sitting idle, it
rotate 360 degrees over the base:

MS157 Eight rosewood handle carving chisels by Herring/London;
a quality maker on a par with Addis, these as found chisels
saw little use, have some superficial grime, and represent
a variety of common shapes - gouges, V, bent gouge, straight;
widest is 1/2", average length 8 1/2"; middle pile:
https://supertool.com/forsale/dec/t114.jpg $185.00
MS158 Primitive smith-made traveler; used to measure circum-

MS159 Goodell-Pratt No.5 1/2 two-speed eggbeater drill; a finely

in sound worker shape, most finish remains with normal
grunge and plating loss; top:

MS161 Combination level and roof framing tool patented by Herman
Scott on June 1, 1920; stamped with the patent date and its
manufacturer, The Standard Framer Co., Inc., it's a pressed
steel construction that has a sliding blade (stuck, it needs
a bit of oil) and two level vials; 24" long, it differs from
the patent drawing, I suspect it's a later modification as
I've seen a few that are identical to the patent drawing; an
uncommon thing, it's one of many roofing tools of the era
that tried to make framing those easier; bottom:

MS162 Early hammer struck saw set; the hammer and spring are
integral to the single forging, which looks smith-made;
mounted on a block of wood, a sliding fence is adjusted
to the size of teeth; three holes forward of the hammer
take a screw to set the angle, the screw is MIA, any old
round head screw will do; 10" long; top left:

MS163 Cook's patent lever action saw set; patented December 23,
1873 by a resident of Potsdam, NY, it's kinda sorta a
hammer struck design, but rather than bending the tooth

by a leaf spring; offered for restoration, the spring is
MIA; top right:

MS164 Broad axe with 12" edge; beveled on one side and used for
hewing beams and similar, it's manufactured but I can't

MS167 Record No.077A bull nose rabbet; with a removable nose
section to allow stopped/chisel work, the original shim

routers Preston produced, it's also the least costly; the

to be moved like it does for the #271; as found, plating
dulled, a worker; bottom:

North Bros., it has the hard rubber head with "YANKEE" im-
print; most plating remains, it was removed where the name
and model number are stamped; everything functions as it
should, this is a worker, not a collector piece; a popular
brace due to its resistance to damage; left:

MS177 Very early leather nail pouch with wooden base; likely from
ca.1875, it's amazing this thing survived, the twine was
replaced some time ago; nicely detail work to the leather,
with stars and crescents adorning it, it's in no danger of
disintegrating, the leather is still pliable; if only this
thing could talk, the nails it held to make stuff; top

points are in the magazine; an uncommon model; top right:

MS180 Original Colt letter to the Providence Tool Co.; dated
June 4, 1859, a few short years after the firm's own
manufacturing plant was built in Hartford, CT, the company
was named Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co.; the
letter is ordering a 28 foot long lathe chain and two
chain gears 2 1/2" in diameter; it's interesting that the
letter notes that the specifications needn't be exact for
the gears, they can be a bit larger or smaller, as it's
immaterial; L.P.Sargeant, the company's secretary, placed
the order, his signature is on the letter; Sargeant was
a witness to some of the early revolver patents:

clean to be a fine worker; bottom left:

the turned handles were probably done by a patternmaker
long ago, they are composed of mahogany and maple; as found,

widths of 1/8", 3/8", 3/4", and 1"; bottom right four:

MS184 Large format PEXTO catalogue; over 100 pages, no date,
color plates at front showing their packaging and brace
display; my guess is ca.1923 as that back page has that
as the last numbers; shows normal wear, with some spine
separation on the cover, there's writing on that; spine
states is catalogue No.20; a great reference by a company
that made great tools, it's far less common than anything

MS185 Group of three butt gauges; a clean Diamond Edge marked
rosewood and nickel plated cast iron example, it was made
for the hardware firm (I can't recall which maker produced
it), an Edward Wright October 3, 1893 (stamped with patent
date), and a Fulton's patent that saw real use (it's
stamped with patent date and name); an instant collection;
top three:

MS186 Odd 21" level with plumb bob; great form, and a lot of
work put into it, it's the simplest way to measure level
where a straight edge has a plumb bob to form a right
angle, this one does it in a light wood (looks to be pine)
that's been worked into a unique form; in sound shape,
plumb looks to be original; bottom:
