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 The third example of the #1 vertical post bench plane to
surface; the tool youth is a bit perplexed why these planes
are called vertical post planes as the threaded post/rod
isn't perfectly vertical to the sole (he's a budding
machinist, and takes things literally); found roughly 20
miles from where it was made, it never traveled far, but it
certainly traveled 1000 of miles if one was to measure its
use over countless strokes on wood; made at a time when
Leonard Bailey was obsessed with changing the pitch of
the plane's iron to increase/decrease its set, the frog
rocks back and forth as the large brass nut travels along
the threaded rod; turning the nut downward pitches the
iron lower, which decreases its set, conversely when the
nut is slackened upward the set increases; while this does
work, there is a shortcoming with the design (apart from
the expensive machining to pull it off) and that's the
mouth can't be changed; this design represents Bailey's
last stab at the iron's set via changing the pitch, it's
the design that ultimately led to his eureka moment where
the frog can be moved laterally (relative to the sole) with
the adjusting nut reoriented and a fork to engage the iron;
all vertical posts are uncommon, this is one of the least
common of all (no #2 has been found and I once had a #10
vertical post), all the #1's of this design have issues,
this one no exception; the tote has a splinter off the
top, there is a small chunk missing at the base of the
knob; the original iron is all but used up, but it's
stamped L.Bailey/Boston; the worst problem is a hairline
crack on one cheek of the main casting; it's apparent that
dropping this plane didn't cause the crack; some examination,
and thought, leads me to believe that its owner drove the
pin (on which the frog rocks) out and it cracked during
that tool surgery; I suspect the frog jammed with shavings
and dust that it would no longer adjust, so its owner
thought he'd clean that by removing the frog; it's obvious
he kept using it after his handiwork and left it exactly as
it is when he last used it decades ago; priced roughly half
the price of what the only one sold at auction fetched,
sometimes things are so rare and significant that one must
take the bad with the good, or in this case the good as good
as it gets right now; a serious plane for a serious collection,
the opportunity to acquire such a significant plane is rarer
than the plane itself:

STANLEY
*******
ST1 #606 Bed Rock fore plane; a ca.1915 example with all original
parts, "BED ROCK" embossed lever cap, full length iron, 90%
japanning, and in solid worker shape; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t1.jpg $155.00
ST2 #605 1/2 Bed Rock oversize jack plane; a ca.WWI model with
all original parts save for the tote, which is a ca.1930
replacement; V-logo iron, "BED ROCK" embossed lever cap,
there is some dried tape residue on the lever cap; the
japnning has been touched-up/redone, this is a fine worker
example; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t1.jpg $185.00
ST3 #10 jack rabbet; a 1930's example with earlier plain lever
cap, iron has 3/8" life left in it, no damage, as found,
it will benefit from a clean; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t2.jpg $120.00
ST4 #48 match plane; "B" casting from ca.1905, nickel plated
Victorian casting, no damage, normal plating wear; the
metallic plane of choice for cutting tongue and groove
joints in 3/4" to 1" thick stock; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t2.jpg $85.00
ST5 #604 1/2 Bed Rock oversize smoothing plane; round side
model with replaced plain lever cap; lovely grain pattern
to the tote, as found, japanning 90%, will clean to make
a fine worker; same frog and main casting machining as the
the more expensive flat side models has, it's prices what
a similar vintage Bailey pattern is; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t3.jpg $135.00
ST6 #10 1/2 smooth rabbet; a clean worker with its original
tote split and glued, the mouth has been lightly filed at
its front; '92 patent date iron is full length; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t3.jpg $125.00
ST7 #85 rabbet scraping plane with tilting knob and tote; with
sweetheart logo iron, all original parts, no damage, this
is a much nicer than usual example; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t4.jpg $455.00
ST8 #340 furring plane; one of the less common planes in the
seemingly infinite lineup of tools produced by Stanley,
it's designed to work on rough sawn lumber; with a sole
that's surely designed to make the flat plane sole club
suffer collective spasms of confusion as there's absolutely
no way it can be made flat (it bears on an area around the
mouth and at the heel), it's all the proof needed that
plane soles don't have to be flat to work; all originals,
parts, no damage, as found, japanning 75%, it's ready for
use, collecting, or dropping the non-flat bomb at the
annual meeting of the aforementioned club; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t4.jpg $955.00
ST9 #A78 aluminum rabbet plane; all original and proper parts
on this uncommon and nicer than usual example; one of the
six planes made of this metal, Stanley was going through
a state of confusion here, be thankful they never made a
#A198A; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t5.jpg $285.00
ST10 #90 steel case rabbet plane; a plane that had to be in-
fluenced by the metallic dovetailed/cast rabbets that were
popular in England, this one proved to be a flop as no one
who'd want a proper metallic rabbet would forego that for
one of these; with a mouth/throat that makes the passage
of shavings easy, the plane choked terribly and was often
modified by the owner; this one escaped that fate and is
in much nicer than usual condition; owner mark in wood,
it's difficult to find them free of modification; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t5.jpg $265.00
ST11 #A18 aluminum knuckle joint block plane; another experiment
gone awry, all original parts, these planes get real ugly
real quick through use, this one escaped that fate; another
to tick the one-of-each Stanley tool; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t6.jpg $135.00
ST12 #2C corrugated smoothing plane; a ca.1930 as found example
with all original parts; never cleaned of modified, a hint
of pitting on the exterior of the main casting, this will
clean to be a very nice example; rarer than the #1, it was
made when Stanley was transitioning the plane from a low
knob (which it has) and plain lever cap to the tall knob
and "STANLEY" embossed lever cap, this is sure to drive
the type spotters mad; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t7.jpg $335.00
ST13 #602 Bed Rock smoothing plane; a never messed with ca.1930
example with all original parts, no damage, some very minor
rust spots on the "STANLEY" embossed lever cap (it received
a spritz of rain at Amana), the plane will make a fine
worker; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t7.jpg $490.00
ST14 #20 circular plane; japanned model from ca.1930 with all
original parts including the sweetheart marked iron; free
of damage, as found, nearly all japanning, minor tarnish
on the sole, it's a fine working example of the best
circular plane made; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t8.jpg $155.00
ST15 #24 right angle square with 12" blade; scruffy, it's not
easy to find the longer blade models of this odd tool;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t8.jpg $75.00
ST16 #171 router; now that the tool world has gone #71 mad, this
one goes 100 better with its three digit numbering; as found,
with single original cutter, one tote has been split and
glued, Stanley had to realize that this one was never going
to win the router wars when they debuted it; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t9.jpg $190.00
ST17 #12 1/4 scraper; identical to the popular #12, but the pint
size version, it's another plane Stanley probably regretted
making as its sales were very poor; offered as a worker,
there is a hang hole in the main casting, the cutter is MIA;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t9.jpg $140.00
ST18 #25 transitional block plane; one of the least common of
the wooden body series, it's the only plane of that which
is bedded bevel up; as found, in better than usual shape,
it goes over well with the type 11 crowd as it has the
V-logo stamped in the iron; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t10.jpg $135.00
ST19 #71 router; a very clean and complete example with all the
bells and whistles ever offered on the tool; three cutters,
adjustable fence, throat closing shoe are present; nearly
all plating, it's an earlier made in the UK example; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t10.jpg $135.00
ST20 #444 dovetail plane; all there save for the original box,
the instructions show usual wear; a plane that actually
works, but is so specialized it is uncommon; no damage,
as found, the plating will glisten after a clean:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t11.jpg $695.00
ST21 #95 edge trimming plane; a clean ca.1930 example that still
has its decal and tattered remains of the original box;
only in need of a honing, it has so much more character than
modern examples do; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t12.jpg $125.00
ST22 #92 cabinetmaker's rabbet plane; a ca.1965 example made in
England after US production stopped a few years earlier;
in its original box, never abused, plating shines, all it
needs is a honing; bottom left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t12.jpg $125.00

it's very popular for smaller work; bottom right:

ST24 #81 rosewood sole scraper; carefully used, with normal wear
on the sole, original sweetheart marked iron, nearly all
plating; a sound worker; top:

ST25 #386 jointer gauge; if you're nuts about type 11 bench
planes you need this as it's stamped with the V-logo; no
damage, all original parts, nearly all plating, some tarnish
to that, it's ready to whisk you away to type elevenhala;
middle:

logo, it can perform standard work as well as cut rabbets
right and left; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t14.jpg $55.00
ST28 #152 spoke shave; like the #151, with its two adjusting
nuts, but with straight handles; a worker, all original
parts, an owner put a washer under the fulcrum screw; a
worker that's simple to use; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t14.jpg $35.00
ST29 #53 adjustable mouth spoke shave; as found, still with old
shavings, no damage, nearly all japanning, it's a great
shave for times you need a fine or coarse mouth; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t14.jpg $40.00
ST30 #4 extra thin two-foot, two-fold boxwood rule; why this was
made is unknown, its design seemed to have infected most
rulemakers of the time, the hinge stands proud of the wood;
much nicer than usual examples, both alignment pins are
present, an uncommon rule; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t15.jpg $295.00
ST31 #98 desk ruler; stamped with the Stanley name and model
number, it's not a common model; bevel edge, one corner
has an insignificant loss from use; second from top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t15.jpg $145.00
ST32 #70 two-foot, four-fold rule; Stanley wanted to offer rules
in nearly all combinations as possible, this is the wider
square joint model; in much nicer than usual condition,
face alignment pins missing, a couple minor scuffs along
the outer edges; second from bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t15.jpg $115.00
ST33 #52 two-foot, four-fold rule; like the popular #62, but
with an arch jointer; cleaner than usual, edge alignment
pin missing, it's an uncommon model; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t15.jpg $85.00
ST34 #11 belting plane; designed to scarf the leather/fabric
belting to drive machinery, the plane can also be used as
a two handle block plane with its bevel up iron; as found,
no damage, all original parts; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t16.jpg $115.00
ST35 #31 bisector; a clean worker with all original parts, it
can be used as a square, bevel, and bisector for laying
out simple and complex polygons; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t16.jpg $60.00
ST36 Clean type one japanned model of the #141 Millers Patent;
made like the last production #42, but with a nose section
that can be swapped with another (this one only has the
standard one), it has the fancy floral casting found on the
jazzy Millers Patents; never cleaned or abused, it has all
original parts save for the other nose section and standard
set of cutters; japanning 90%, this is a very nice example:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t17.jpg $885.00
ST37 #50 plough and beading plane; US made example that complete
and in the tattered remains of the original box; still with
instructions, it's the earlier nickel plated model; top
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t18.jpg $155.00
ST38 #278 fillister; bevel up iron suits it well for working on
all grains, it probably received the most precision (as
much as Stanley ever bothered to do) machining, it can be
used on its sole and left/right sides; all original parts,
no damage, as found; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t18.jpg $155.00
ST39 #602 round side Bed Rock smoothing plane; with the two-line
embossed lever cap, the exterior has been cleaned a bit to
reveal scratching, a bit more will have it looking much
nicer; japanning is 75%, no damage to the wood, it's much
less common than the round side model; left:

https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t25a.jpg $785.00

WOOD PLANES
**** ******
WP1 Clean moving fillister retailed by Osborne/Chatham; the
best model and best plane for cutting rabbets in any grain
direction, it as double dovetail boxing at the shoulder,
a boxwood wedge to secure the nicker, steel plated stop,
and notched fence to permit easier removal of the iron
when sharpening is required; nicely cleaned, only in need
of a honing, owner marks; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t32.jpg $155.00
WP2 Odd double nicker special purpose plane by J.Lord/Watertown
(NY); I haven't a clue what the intent of this plane is,
it makes no sense to me; cuts a bevel that joins a flat,
the irons spans the width of the stock; an uncommon maker,
it's been refinished, the wood where the nickers are split
off and was glued back on; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t33.jpg $135.00
WP3 Another odd plane, perhaps for coping sash, the vertical
iron scrapes more than it cuts; fully boxed over the working
surface, crack in the boxing, dry surface, owner initials,
the plane is manufactured; a strange one; bottom:

appearance; top:

WP5 18th century bolection that screams I.Walton's work, but
is unsigned; made of fruitwood, shows typical crudeness
of Walton's hand, molded step, small wedge finial, broad
flat chamfers, etc.; hang hole, no owner/maker marks of
any kind, it cuts a 3/4" deep by 1" profile; this plane
date prior to the Revolution and is a fine shape given
its age; bottom:

WP9 Figured apple toted screw arm plough plane by J.F.&G.M.
Lindsay; as found and in waiting for that grain to pop
after a gentle cleaning, this one saw limited use and is
eager for more; great patina, six irons included, owner
mark, the Lindsays were one of many small planemakers
plying their trade in Massachusetts hill towns west of
the Connecticut River; this a lovely plane that will work
as good as it looks:

on the 1 3/4" wide iron; barely used, with a mouth as fine

ogee, plane is 15" long, was refinished, has dark patina,
minor checks; fence is secured to the body with countersunk

WP18 Five beading planes by Mathieson; four have been together,

https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t73a.jpg $115.00
WP20 Cove and astragal for working hardwoods with its steeply
pitched iron; by A.Roy/Perth, it's an early Scottish plane
that has broad flat chamfers; with no stop, it's designed

waxed, with owner mark, profile is 7/8" wide:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t74.jpg $90.00

WP22 Common ogee by Morison/Lanark; cuts a 1/2" deep by 1" wide
broad ogee; never cleaned or abused, original finish, owner
mark, a check in the heel looks far worse than it actually
is, it's going nowhere; a fine worker and plane for the

WP23 1/4" square ovolo for working hardwoods with its steep
pitch iron; by Griffiths/Norwich, little used, free of
modification, owner mark, a quality plane that's perfect
for cabinetwork:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t77.jpg $80.00
WP24 3/8" quirk ogee; steeper pitch for use in hardwoods, it's
manufactured but only with owner mark; free of modification,
it's in sound worker shape and well suited for cabinetwork
due to its smaller dimensions:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t78.jpg $85.00

functions are in a single body, the plane is flipped end

fine worker shape, free of modification, owner mark; right
two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t80.jpg $80.00
WP29 Different face profile, a narrow bead and hollow adjacent
to each other; with rabbet throat, profiles such as this
are designed to work on the face of the stock rather than
the edge; manufactured, but only with owner mark, the
profile is 3/4" wide; like most of these planes, the left
cheek has several nail/screw holes from when a fence was
added, those have no bearing on this plane's use; an un-
common profile for this kind of plane:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t81.jpg $115.00
WP30 Large and unusual style spill plane; a chunky thing made
of mahogany, it's 12" long; a cleat holds it still on the
bench as the wood is pushed over the wide iron (secured
to the body with a screw) to make the curly shavings,
which escape on the small diameter hole along the side;
a strange one; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t91.jpg $135.00
WP31 30" beech jointer by Addison Heald of Milford, NH; a long
one, with lignum strike button, it saw careful use and is

https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t116.jpg $85.00
WP38 18th century old style 3/8" bead; for those who know the
difference, this one is essential for that true period
look, it cuts a true quirk rather than one with a small
flat; manufactured, but no maker or owner marks, it's
definitely the Sleeper school and dates to the late 1700's;
barely used, a couple scuffs/chips from sitting around, it
will make a fine worker; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t137.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t137a.jpg $90.00
WP39 Matching double iron sash plane and its coping plane; a pair
that's often sent in 387 different directions when a tool
chest is pillage, this pair managed to survive together for
some 150 years; both barely used, never altered, only the
coping plane is signed with its maker, Copeland&Co., the
sash cuts the classic square ovolo; a fine pair, if sash-
work is on the tool horizon, these two are the best way
to perform the task:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t138.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t138a.jpg $290.00
WP40 18th century smoothing plane with extra long James Cam
single iron; a very well made plane of beech, it has a
1780's look to it; never cleaned, long ago the mouth was
slightly relieved, this one saw barely any use and is
about as nice an example as one can hope to find from
this vintage; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t139.jpg $165.00
WP41 18th century hollow; 10 1/2" long, broad flat chamfers,
made of beech, and dirty from sitting in a tool chest for
centuries; with an incuse stamp of "IOHN ANDERSON" where
the maker's mark normally is, the letters are well formed,
but definitely have an earlier look; no owner marks, a
few inactive worm holes, free of alteration, it's roughly
the size of a #14H; bottom:

handles that each have a twist auger, a hack saw and its

MS7 Preston side rabbet; the fancy/complex model with adjust-

tip handles made of apple, several still have the inked

these may be new old stock; the label has the standard widths
for the set of twelve, it was possible to buy smaller number
sets, the firm simply scratched off the widths (all 1/8"

chisels made anywhere, it's a miracle that these survived
unscathed for over 100 years; top:

MS108 Speetol Precision Plumb Bob in the original box; at a real
loss to understand just what this tool is offering, it
more resembles a bob for fishing than a plumb bob; with
the original line, it appears unused, and therefore is as
precise when first made, despite its rather dubious quality;
perfect for the one of each plumb bob collector; right:

was replaced, there are enough donor braces that can be
swapped onto it; top:

was abused, most original finish on the annealed casting,

each is embossed "BAMLETT THIRSK", a web search turns up
info about the Thirsk Agricultural Implements Works, makes

MS144 1/2" framing chisel; looks to be T.H.Witherby, I can read
some letters that lead me to believe it's that firm's
output; with original steel hoop handle, 15" long, as
found, the back will want a polish and will do so well to
make a fine worker; a stout example and uncommon width;

MS147 Victor No.7 size jointer with uncommon rosewood tote option;
100% original, the vast majority of Victor bench planes have
the cast iron handle, the planes could also be ordered with
a rosewood handle by those who knew freezing cold metal in
the hand (while working outdoors) is not as comfortable as
wood is; as found, never cleaned or messed with, no damage,
and well above average condition; this the plane design that
Leonard Bailey invented after he got po'd at Stanley over
royalties paid him for his first plane design (that we all
know and love); top:

vise, but without the leg; perfect for smithing and other
serious work, with 3 3/4" long jaws, it clamps onto what-
ever dares to find itself between the screw and lugs at
the top; in fine, barely used condition, a later pro-
tective coating was added, this one is ready to use:

MS151 Owner made witchet/rounding tool; a fair bit of work was
put into this 16" long tool that's hinged at one end so
it can be opened/squeezed over the work to make round
stock; an old gouge was used for the cutter, the top and
bottom are plated with metal; as found, will clean to be
a fine worker, most of these tools are English, this is
American made and dates ca.1850; top:

MS152 Evans' Patent circular plane; an early patent that probably
inspired the #13 (or vice versa), it's as found, dirty and
in need of a clean, no damage, this one never had the brass
disk soldered on, most of the original paper label is still
on it, I can't read anything on it; bottom:

MS153 Unusual French axe with extra long handle (a very good
replacement made from cherry) that fits in a long socket
and is threaded to accept a nut on top of the head; broad
and 12" long blade has a maker's oval shaped name stamped
on one side; normal axe condition with usual pitting, it's
head is an atypical shape; 34" long, the handle's end is
not in the image; a scary thing that's surely the axe of
choice to be featured in The Shining, Uncut; top:

MS154 D.R.Barton side axe with very well made cherry handle

laminated construction; cutting edge is 5 3/4" long;

identifies which firm is offering the tools inside; 238
pages of tools, the catalogue is roughly the size of a

book is in typical read condition and makes a great
reference to tooling as England was spiraling toward WWII;

MS156 Another 1938 hardcover catalog, William Marples&Sons; in
nicer condition than the previous, 246 pages, it has
discount sheets and a reproduction 1909 prices list of
American-made tools as well as an original 1972 receipt
from the early days of tooling by Arnold&Walker; the
American-made catalog shows how serious Stanley, Millers
Falls, and Goodell-Pratt were at putting their wares into
the hands of Englishman; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t125.jpg $120.00
MS157 ca. 1900 Sargent&Co catalog; a thick volume that's primarily
hardware, there is a sizable section of tools, which
makes it apparent the direction the New Haven, CT firm
was headed, to be a competitor of Stanley; many tools
are from other manufacturers, but there are the early
Sargent-made tools; cover's spine has separated and shows
some loss, the catalog is still fairly solid; much less
common than their later bible-size catalog:

MS159 The first of several Swiss Made carving chisels, all in
barely used condition, that were found together; older
production, there are five in this group, three straight
chisels (3/16"-5/8"), a backbent 1/2" gouge, and a 5/16"
macaroni; never abused, most saw very limited use, and
are only in need of a honing (they are still sharp
enough to cut flesh, this from first hand experience);
price these chisels new for real sticker shock; all are
standard length, with none being the shorter lengths for
beginners:

MS166 Small Billings&Spencer, Hartford, CT pin vise; first I've
owned, stamped with the patent date, maker's name, and
location, it's like the larger model, but only 4 1/2" long

be slid within the handle; a finely made tool, fully
operable, and highly specialized; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t133.jpg $190.00
MS167 Miniature billhook; 4 3/4" long, good age, the original
ferrule was lost long ago, a replacement was added many

hedgerow; top right:

MS168 Patented broom, or similar long handled tool; holder;
embossed with patent date; looks to be Franlin&Clark's
Dec.28, 1868 patent, both were from Nashua, NH; a simple
idea, which takes full advantage of gravity, it has a
typical Victorian pattern to the cast iron; free of
damage, 3 1/4", and ready to use for a broom of your
favorite Everlasting chisel; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t133.jpg $70.00
MS169 The nicest traveler I've offered, this one an exquisite
work of art ca.1850; normally a mundane tool, this was
the pride and joy of someone that had the letter "S" as
his first or last name; not some crude "S" that can be
read any way, the letter is larger at the bottom so you
know exactly how it's supposed to be read; the beginning
and end of the letter have rounded 'serifs'; graduated
around the circumference, as the best travelers are, it
also has subtle file work at the center and 'forks' that
hold it; found in an estate with several early tools,
there's no doubt that it's unique, and a masterpiece that
should be more $, it's 7" diameter, the forgings attest
that a highly skilled smith made this; bottom:

MS170 Five good quality Millers Falls tools, some unused in the
original box; a Jacob's chuck and key, two center gauges,
a screw pitch gauge, and two thickness gauges when you
want to make sure your plane's mouth is 0.00000000000001"
(for who knows why); top five:

MS172 Nice smaller coachmaker's double router; real charm to
this unique 12 1/2" long example that has broad chamfers
over the stock; designed to cut a groove left or right,
it has an adjustable fence for each cutter; good age to
this one, it was found MS168, the traveler, and has a
mid-1800's look; barely used, no damage, and a tool any
collector/user would appreciate; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t137.jpg $185.00
MS173 American bowsaw; an earlier example, found with WP40, it
has a turned toggle for tensioning the frame, the twine

making it larger than typical; dry surface, well made;
top:

MS174 Crude 18th century brace; found with previous, this one
is a real veteran though it still has life left in it;
with an original pad (no bit), head has a check, it's a
wonder it didn't find its way into a fireplace long ago,
artifacts dredged up from the wreck of the Mary Rose saw
less use than this one; bottom:

MS175 Odd combination bevel, square, and center finder; stamped
with a date of November 14, 1882, they were patented by
Charles Bellamy of Arlington, NJ; plated, and barely used,
one leg is graduated; made of stamped steel, 6" long, free
of alteration, it's the first of its kind I've seen; a
gizmo whose time never came; top left:

MS177 Patented file card; stamped with the October 7, 1890 date,
it was awarded to Charles Colton of Chicago; with a what's
referred to as a 'picker' in the description, it's com-
plete and in sound shape; the patent calls it a file
cleaner, being from Chicago, it obviously didn't clean
too many governmental files; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/jul/t141.jpg $65.00
MS178 Manufactured, likely by a Connecticut rulemaker, #43 1/2
board stick; clearly stamped with the model number, but
no maker, I don't believe Stanley made it, my hunch is
it's by Chapin; an uncommon rule by any maker, it saw very
little use, a good amount of original finish is on it
and the blacking is strong in the numbers; the midpoint
numbers are highlighted in red; amazingly, no hang hole
was ever bored in it; the numbers have the distinct
mid-1800's style; a nice example; top:

MS180 Stratton Bros. two-foot fully brass bound mahogany level
in its original pasteboard box; maybe used a couple times,
this one is out of a time capsule, the box kept it safe
for some 125 years as it sat idle; finish on level has
become milky in a few spots, the box has a bright yellow
label, roughly five inches of the cover split off, it was
taped by on with duct tape (ugh!), a hair dryer and some
patience can remove it so it can be restored properly;
one end of box bottom is MIA, a Mr.McKnight penned his
name on the cover; laminated construction, stamped with
the eagle logo, this one was made after Goodell-Pratt
acquired the firm that made the best wooden levels of any
maker anywhere, the GP Stratton levels are far less
common than those marked only with the Stratton name; for
a serious collection of levels; bottom:

MS181 Working Unimat lathe; the tool youth gave this one a test
drive, and it checks out fine, it's with the original
wooden box and instructional pamphlet; the basic model,
has a face plate, three jaw chuck, drill table, and a
tail stock drill chuck; it can accept a range of options
to make it more than just a lathe:

MS183 Taft's double screw 10" wrench; made in the epicenter of
wrench technology, Worcester, MA, this the first example
of this elusive wrench I've owned, I live not far from
Worcester where Coes, et al, ruled the wrenching world
for decades; less common than the Coes double screw, there
was a short time in wrench design that gripped inventors
to come up with designs where a mechanical advantage is
gained by minimizing the number of screw turns needed to
adjust the jaws to a particular nut; patented May 25,
1858, roughly the same time when Leonard Bailey was on a
quest to patent the perfect bench plane, George Taft was
to wrenches as Bailey was to planes, each receiving many
design patents; Bailey went on to fame and fortune, but
Taft was a forgotten man as Coes ascended to the throne
or wrench royalty; as found, with just a few letters
readable on the fixed jaw, the wrench shows expected signs
of use from decades of service, there's really no wrench
that is wonderful looking after such use; a check in the
original handle, the back of the fixed jaw mushroomed
from being used as a hammer, the adjustment works fine,
this example is respectable and ready to hang on the
pegboard (in the barn) that has 4,888 wrenches on it:
