Welcome to Akbar 'n' Jeff's Tool Hut
This list last updated on 03/05/2010
Welcome. I'm sorry to say that this page doesn't have any Java animations, ritzy million-color million-dollar tool pictures,
multimedia sequences showing the Stanley #193 in use, or other nonsense.... just a simple list of tools I offer for sale at reasonable prices, updated
from time to time as I find new stuff I think you'll like.
I hope you find something here that works well for you.
Oh, and Akbar and Jeff? They're characters drawn by Matt Groening, of Simpsons fame. Ever the entrepreneurs,
they get into some strange business indeed. Me, I do other things for
a living.
Questions, problems, and orders should be addressed to me via e-mail
Terms and conditions in brief:
Simple: you order and I ship you the tool. If you like it, you keep it and send me the asking price plus the exact
shipping cost. If you don't like it, you send it back at your expense. (You'll often hear this method referred to as
the 'OLDTOOLS standard' method. There are a few variations and details of my own which you should read;
they offer more detailed guidance and cover some problematic situations, like extra-heavy items. You may also want to take a look
at Akbar's annoying no-haggle policy.
4198.H. Collins Cast Steel Warranted. Broadaxe with 11' edge. Short-ish handle appears original and is sound. The usual rust from poor storage but should clean well
3678.Phillips Smith. Cooper's adze, with original handle. No way to be sure, but once suspects that Phillips was the smith who made this. Probably NY maker. In excellent condition
3674.Hewing axe. 11' blade. Unmarked; badly pitted from poor storage. Handle was very heavily cranked and thus is breaking around the eye.
3347.Bingham's Best embossed double-bit axe. Embossing not especially strong, but not horrible either.
3300.Buffalo Black Axe. Double-bit felling axe from unusual maker. Mark is fairly faint; axe is lightly pitted.
3234.Unmarked 5' hewing hatchet; right-handed; nice handle. In good overall condition; head is lightly pitted, but will sharpen fine.
3119.Sargent & Co. Cast Steel. Carpenter's hatchet with hammer type poll. An oldster, with some pitting. These are awfully handy for work with garden stakes and fencing.
2971.Keen Kutter Karpenter's hatchet. pitting here and there. Handle looks original.
931.Plumb 'Anchor' mark embossed axe. Light pitting on the head, and somebody pounded on it and mushroomed the poll slightly. Mark is OK, handle replaced.
834.M.C. Ogden Cast Steel. Lathing hatchet. May have been a mark of the Russell and Erwin company, but nobody's sure. This one has a split in the handle and some chips on the octagonal poll.
746.Axworthy lathing hatchet Usual chip off one corner of poll; handle appears original.
4145.Swage. Flat and square, about 2' on a side, so probably for bending -- made to fit a fairly large pritchel hole. Surface is pretty clean; there is a small chip at one corner.
3353.Champion. Blacksmith's cutting hardie. Very well kept. 1-3/4' cutting edge; for 3/4' pritchel hole. A good one.
3165.Large end nipper (12') with removable cutters.
4191.Stanley Catalog #34 (1947 edition). Cover creased, and pages have some creasing and dogearing, but overall very good condition.
4157.Morgan. Tools and How to Use Them for Woodworking and Metal Working. (1948). This is NOT the similarly-title book that Stanley sold in about a bajillion editions, but a basic work on hand tools, with 600 illustrations. Probably intended either for the home handyman or basic manual training course. Got lots of useful information on hand tool technique including some basic metalworking operations. A nice book.
4128.Lufkin Tools Catalog number 6. As always Lufkin is cagy about the exact date of the catalog -- they reused these a lot -- but there's a 1934 price-update sheet tucked inside this one. In good shape but the Lufkin maroon cover shows every little crease and scuff. Still a nice catalog if you're one of the four people in the US who doesn't already have one.
4127.Craftsman Tools -- The Finest Quality Made. Catalog of the Craftsman line from sometime in the 1940's or maybe early 50's -- I can't find a date but the art is definitely Industrial Design Gothic as are the stupid hats on the craftspeople who allegedly use these fine tools. Catalog's in great shape with no tears, scuffs, etc.
4126.Disston Saw, File, and Tool Manual (1942). A compilation of how-to information blended with what amounts to a summary of their catalog, and lots of pictures of guys who wear white shirts and neckties in the shop. Very validating -- I thought I was the only one.
4088.The Modern Motor-Driven Woodworking Shop: How to Plan, Operate, and get the most out of it. This 1930 hardback, one of a series from Delta's propaganda department, covers lathes, bandsaws, and boring/mortising machines. The quality of the book is as high as the quality of Delta's tools from that period -- which is to say, very high indeed.
4087.Hand Tools. Navy Training Courses -- NAVPERS 10306-A. This 1951 paperback was designed for rank beginners headed for the ranks of aviation maintenance. Good basic information -- would be good for a GIT wanting to learn a little metalwork, eg.
3972.How to Work with Tools and Wood. Stanley put different versions of this book out over the years ; this is a hardcover version from 1927 that may be the earliest I've seen. Worth it just for the captions that appear under photos of the whole family, eg. Adoring Wife:'That's the best-looking combination ladder and kitchen stool I've ever seen'. Proud Hubby: 'And I'll bet you didn't think I could do it'.
3951.Stanley Tools general line catalog No. 34, 1929 edition. Stamped with Hammacher, Schlemmers imprint in the 'dealer' space. Overall excellent condition save for some small layout-fluid stains on the cover and first few pages -- must've belonged to a machinist.
3950.Lufkin Precision Tools catalog #8. From sometime in the 1950's I would guess, but Lufkin catalogs are hard to date. This one's in great shape.
3948.Starrett catalog #26A (1953). Another listing of all the stuff from America's foremost machinist's toolmaker. This one is in very good condition -- no dogearing, cutting oil, or other detractions.
3695.Latrobe Tool Company, Latrobe PA. 1923 catalog of high speed twist drills and reamers. In excellent condition and an unparalleled resource for those interested in the availability of Short Car Body Reamers in the period before the Great Crash of 1927. Uh-huh-huh.
3339.Grimshaw, Robert. Catechism of the Steam Engine (1893). Everything you wanted to know, and then some. In excellent condition.
3067.New Encyclopedia of Machine Shop Practice. George W. Barnwell. Barnwell was something of a machinist's guru in the 40's; he
2995.Industrial Arts Woodworking (Feirer). Must be a million copies of this were foisted on unsuspecting highschoolers. Good info, really astonishingly ugly projects, what more could you want?
2991.Hand Tools. Pamphlet from General Motors War Products Training Service. Training manual for wannabe Army motorheads tells you how not to bust your knuckles with a box wrench. 'Ten hut!
2954.Lufkin Precision Tools. Catalog #7. 128 pages of machinists and measuring tools, in better than average condition.
2416.Manual of Traditional Woodcarving. Paul M. Hasluck. Paperback reproduction by (who else) Dover. Well thumbed. Lots of how-to information, examples, and illustrations from a well-known writer
2271.DeCristoforo's Book of P*w*r T**ls. Robert DeCristoforo was the shop editor for Popular Science for a bajillion years. This book was, in its day, the definitive book on power tools and jigs.
2223.Browne and Sharpe Machinery and Tools Catalog No. 139 (1929). Paperbound catalog of the whole B&S line, including stationary machine tools. Comprehensive.
2063.Cabinetmaker's Manual for Amateurs and Professionals. Towers. The emphasis here is on machines, but there are good explanations of setup and layout basics.
1863.New Starrett Precision Tools. 1951 new-product supplement in pamphlet form.
1833.Manufacturing with Continuous Sawing Machines. Hardbound ode to very, very big bandsaws ('Contour Sawing Machines') from the Do-All Company circa 1949.
1811.Brown and Sharpe 1935 catalog showing machines as well as hand tools. Cover is some sort of pebble-grain artificial leather. In very good condition though title is worn.
1558.The Home Cabinetmaker (Monte Burch). A popular book of its kind, with lots of stuff on tailed apprentices and their wily ways as well as solid stuff on hand tools. Good for the beginner.
1457.Rogers' Progressive Machinist. 1903 treatise on elementary machining practice published by Audel. This one is in first-class condition.
1264.How to Finish in a pamphlet from Sherwin-Williams.
1090.Modern Drilling Practice. The state of the art in 1919, everything you might want to know about making holes in metal.
1089.Tool and Gage Work (1922). Part of the McGraw-Hill Library of Machine-Shop Practice; this one deals with precision drilling and jig-making.
1068.Dependable tools for Decorators. Small 1940's catalog of decorator tools such as paper shears, graining sets, and wallpaper trimmers. Good documentation for these whatsits.
1057.Tools and Machines. Charles Barnard (1903). This is published by Silver, Burdett, a tip-off that it was probably a text for manual training classes. Something for the young galoot.
1029.Russell of Holyoke 1937 catalog. Catalog of Holyoke MA hardware and industrial-goods supplier; 567 pages of info on everything you can think of, from tools to traps to builder's hardware.
921.Mechanic's Vest Pocket Reference Book. (Wolfe-Phelps). 1942. Handy tables for the machinist.
766.Boatbuilding Manual. Robert M. Steward. Good overview of the principles and methods of boatbuilding.
579.Steam of everything the aspiring steam engineer needs to know. Good stuff if you like steam engines.
474.Modern Practice of American Machinists and Engineers. Egbert Watson (of Scientific American). Modern in this case refers to the year 1869. With 86 engravings
401.ICS Reference Library. 'Fireproofing, Stair Building, Metal Work Roofing, Builders' Hardware, and Mill Design'. Amazing stuff, esp. on the Victorian metalwork gracing America's office bldgs.
4199.Backus adjustable angle bitstock. This is the first patent issued to Quimby Backus, an angle adapter for a brace that incorporates a universal joint. This one's a Ron Pearson double-threat -- a 'C' rarity for the adapter itself, and a 'B' for the chuck, which is his Winchendon, MA patent of 1880, giving it a combined rarity rating of 'you'll never see another one'
4197.Backus brace wrench, non-ratcheting version. Designed by the versatile Quimby Backus, this doodad was meant to turn a brace into a wrench and looks, basically, like an oversized chuck. Which it is. Plating on this one ain't great, which is usual, and it has some telltale marks of plier abuse, not serious.
4193.Peck, Stow and Wilcox #102. Early patent brace with Shepard's patent pin-selector mechanism. Plating bad as usual; handle and pad are rosewood and in very good shape.
4184.Irwin. Set of 13 auger bits with coarse lead screw, in the original box. Box needs cleaning; bits are in good user condition.
4140.2' handled auger. Massive thing useful for boring real big holes, planting tulip bulbs, discovering underground route to Beijing, etc. Actually it's impressively antique-looking; striking piece.
4110.Wood Mfg. Co. hollow auger. This is NOT the improved design that made Wood the best hollow auger to use -- too bad, huh? It's something older, a more standard swing-out type complete with depth stop. This one's been repainted to boot.
4089.Auger bits. Assembled set of 13, most with coarse lead screws, in a box that looks like it came with a Jennings set. Sort of an auger-bit zoo, but a good set for a beginner or occasional user at an attractive price.
4045.Stanley Handyman eggbeater drill #H1220, with the 'Hi-Lo' drive, whatever that is. Actually a solidly made mid-size eggbeater with a hollow handle for storing bits. Finishes on this one are way above average -- a good tool for the trainee.
4041.Miller's Falls No. 1 eggbeater drill. Excellent rosewood handle and knob; side handle is missing of course. Japan on frame is so-so and paint nearly all gone from the gear wheel, as is so often the case. Will make a good user.
4039.Silo Made in USA. Large eggbeater Not-cheesy imitation of Miller's Falls #2-size eggbeater seems beefy and well-made as the original (and might be the original under a hardware-store mark -- gotta say I never heard of these guys). Missing side handle, of course. Paint and finish in used-but-not-abused condition. Will make a good user.
4017.Millers Falls #82 washer cutter, for cutting leather washers with a brace. Would work on any material (including veneer, I imagine, or cardboard). Can't find any reference materials on this -- looks like it might have been meant to have two cutters, but this one has only one.
4013.Unmarked, but certainly a Peck, Stow and Wilcox brace with 8' sweep and the older-style chuck; wood excellent but paint on the pad; nickel shot as is typical. Uncommon smaller sweep.
4012.Unmarked, but it's gotta be a Fray, 12' wide-sweep ratcheting brace. Nickel shot, wood excellent. A good worker in a desirable large size
3877.AA Wood. Spoke pointer, large with about 1-1/8' capacity; variable depth with depth stop. Hollow augers from this maker are prized for their quality -- spoke pointers are quite scarce. This one was carefully repainted by a former owner,but is in excellent condition (and sharp)
3871.Child's eggbeater drill. Unmarked. Probably from a kid's tool set. Well-made, with a working 3-jaw chuck. Repainted by a proud owner at some point. Good for the galoot-in-training
3870.1-1/2' auger bit for beam-boring machine. 3/8' shaft. It's possible that this one is an auger bit with the end cut off, but if so someone cut it off to use in a boring machine -- the shaft is marked from use in a boring-machine chuck.
3848.Miller's Falls #4 jeweler's hand drill. 8' overall; rosewood handle; original finish was black lacquer but not much is left. A graphic and appealing small drill
3832.Auger bits. Set of 13 Irwin bits in original wooden box. Used, but not abused. These have the medium lead screw.
3713.Goodell-Pratt hyperadjustable chain/breast drill can be used at so many angles you can practically tie it in a knot. Don't know the manufacturer's number. Little original paint remains, and of course the chain is gone.
3615.Irwin auger bits. Set of 13 in original box, which is the type with the swing-out lower drawer. For some reason an owner cut off about 1' of the left side of the box lid. Bits are in OK shape. Not a bad set.
3599.Penny brace. Unmarked, save for the owners initials. The head is in very good shape, but the ball handle is only a memory, as is the thumbscrew from the 'chuck'. One a them tools that looks real old.
3579.Hollow auger. Unmarked. Original finishes near perfect; has depth stop and a feature I haven't seen before, which is a fine adjustment for the cutter depth. Looks elegant and very workable.
3554.OW Burritt & Bro. Weedsport NY. Patent applied for. Most unusual and rare post drill, of a sort, looking somewhat like a big C clamp. Looks like it was made for finer work as the chuck is small and advances fairly slowly as the crank is turned. Very rare and unusual.
3540.Spoke pointer. Unmarked. Has the graduated depth stop, and a max capacity of about 2'. Cutter in good shape; it's been repainted, though.
3533.Clark Pattern expansive bit. In the original box. It should have two cutters, but only has the smaller one, good up to 7/8'. The box may be the better part of the deal.
3490.Stanley #965 10' brace, worn finishes, light storage rust, seen better days, but will make a good worker.
3485.Irwin. Set of 6 auger bits in the original box. Box has been banged around, inside paper label has dings and scratches, but is almost completely intact. Bits used, of course. An early box from Irwin in good shape for its age. Definitely worth a look.
3459.Wm. A. Clark Cast Steel Pat'd May 11,1858 Pat. Ext'd. Expansive auger bit around 1'-1-1/2' in range, I think. With all those markings this has gotta be a piece of expansive-bit history. And to think it could be yours...
3456.Wood Mfg. Co. Patented hollow augur, but not the type normally associated with the Wood name -- more like a Stearns. This one has had some creative painting, but is complete with depth stop and interesting double-scale arrangement.
3454.Greenlee #900. 24' extension for use with auger bits. Longest one I've seen, with a locking mechanism I don't quite understand. Just the thing for all you bell-hangers out there.
3338.The Irwin Borchest. Carpenter's set of 13 auger bits, medium lead screw, in original box with paper label. Box has nice patina; is missing 1 latch; bits are used but very well kept.
3336.Bit brace with Shepard's 1884 patent ratchet mechanism. Nickel largely shot; wood excellent
3335.WA Ives Co. New Haven, Ct. Brace showing two different Ives patents, one from 1862 that I can't run down, and the Pfleghar ratchet mechanism.
3235.P.S.&W 12' brace, rosewood handle and pad; has Peck & Powers 1879 patent chuck. Interesting departure from the norm.
3229.Yankee #1555 breast drill. Side handle missing, as is so often the case with these. 3 jaw chuck. 5 speed transmission. Perhaps the finest breast drill ever made.
3224.Merit Tools. 10' brace. Kinda sad-looking, but functional, with hardwood handle and pad.
3223.Stanley Defiance #1250 10' bit brace, curiously missing the Stanley mark but no doubt about what it is. Rosewood handle and pad, good condition for use.
3219.Unmarked 10' ratcheting brace. Hardwood handle and pad. Bargain user.
3217.Goodell-Pratt #102 Archimedean drill. Oddball precursor of G-P push drill design, with bit magazine in handle (no bits), three chuck. Other examples nickel-plated - I don't think this ever was
3215.Unmarked user-quality brace; typical 10' size. Has seen use but is good for quite a lot more.
3214.Miller's Falls 731 12' brace. Has seen quite a bit of use, but still a good user despite worn finishes.
3212.TruTest 8' brace; attractively painted blue handle and pad. An OK user brace at a bargain price, if you can stand the snickering from your Stanley-collecting friends.
3209.Pexto 8' ratcheting brace; painted hardwood handle and pad. Nothing special, just a good user brace.
3200.Stanley Bell System brace, 10' sweep, later model with plastic ratchet ring and painted hardwood pad and handle. Excellent condition
3199.Miller's Falls 7312 12' whimble brace. Finishes a little scabrous but a good worker
3190.Cleveland Bit Stock Bits. #13 set of bit stock twist drills, made to work with your brace. Set is complete; 9 bits ranging from 1/16 to 3/8; appears to be new old stock.
3187.Miller's Falls. Bench drill press. Appears to be an early model of the #21, without the vise but with a table-type support for work. Little finish remains.
3112.Millers Falls #719 chain drill. With Jacobs type chuck. For boring holes in durable things with breast drills.
3111.Millers Falls #719 chain drill. When you absolutely, positively have to punch a hole in something metal using a brace or breast drill, this is what you need. Japanned, 85%, o/w nice.
3107.Victor brace. 10' sweep. Real old-timer of a Stanley brace. Nickel bad, chuck springs not so hot, generally a bummer of a brace, but might reward some work.
3106.Stanley 965N brace, 10' sweep. Chuck springs a memory, but wood is good and metal finish is nice. Good bargain user.
3102.Hollow auger. Unmarked, but looks like a Stearns design. Some well-intentioned idiot painted it to look purty, but it's still functional with all parts and pieces.
3033.Wards Master. 18' bit brace extension. Very good condition. Just the thing for drilling through very thick walls, rowboats, large animals, etc.
2966.Center & nose bits, plus others. 12 center bits, 5 nose bits, 3 countersinks, 3 screwdriver bits. Some need work and the point is off two of the center bits. Good for restoration and use.
2958.Hollow auger. Patented precision adjustment type by EC Stearns.Depth stop is present, lots of blade left, japan is worn (about 50%).
2933.Ladd Tool Co. Hollow auger. Multi-sized adjustable type. Depth stop is missing; japanning in excellent shape as is the cutter.
2917.Miller's Falls. Lever-action drill press holds a small, #1 size eggbeater drill (included). Finishes better than average; nice rosewood knob; really works, as three holes in the table attest.
2916.Miller's Falls #503 corner brace, with rosewood pad and handles in excellent condition; sports the so-called 'master' chuck and is the larger 10' sweep; 1 cover screw MIA as usual. Nice.
2696.Reid's Patent Archimedean drill in absolutely beautiful condition with only minor scratching of nickel and wood finishes untouched, very hard to find a better one
2695.Miller's Falls eggbeater drill in the #2 size, made for Craftsman Just about the nicest example you'll ever see, with original finishes and nickel near 100%. Too bad it was made for Sears.
2629.Stanley #945 brace with 10' throw. Newer type with painted hardwood. Nickel about 70%. Nothing thrilling but a good user for you or the galoots-in-training.
2498.Barton Bros. Clossop Road Sheffield. Plated brace. Pad has a crack, and there is moderate wear to the finishes; release button is missing. Nice medallion in the pad, though.
2047.Skinner Irrigation Company. Curious patented clamp-on drill press designed for drilling spray holes in irrigation pipe. Clever and unusual. Little original finish remains.
2015.Rogers' patent hollow auger. Complete with depth stop. Finishes about 60% from use. These run a close second to the Wood models for use.
1849.E.C.Stearns hollow augur. Finishes a pretty typical 50%; depth stop and all other parts present with quite a bit of life left on the blade.
4080.Witherby Winsted Conn. 1-1/2' bevel-edged chisel, 3-1/2' to shoulder. Original handle lost the leather washer off the end but is OK -- tool will be a great user if a little short.
4079.TH Witherby Warranted. 1' bevel-edged chisel is more sturdily made than most, almost like a firmer. 6' to shoulder, original handle in excellent condition. A really nice one.
4078.Witherby Winsted Conn. 1-1/2' bevel-edged chisel, well kept but a little short at 3-1/2'. Will still make a nice user for most if not all of your lifetime. Handle original.
3960.ChipAWay. 2' firmer chisel with slightly beveled edge -- heavy sucker suitable for large work, so-so rehandling job, 7' left to shoulder. Edge needs rehabbing. Have to confess I've never heard of the company, but looks like an OK tool.
3739.Witherby. 3/4' socket framing chisel, original handle, excellent condition. A few dimples in the top surface where somebody had a hard time getting it out of a deep mortise and used, um, a bigger hammer.
3656.TH Witherby. 1/4' firmer chisel. 6-1/2' left. Original handle with no damage and leather washer intact. Has been buffed, but is a nice tool anyway.
3655.1/4' firmer chisel. Unmarked. Handle looks original but seems a little light to take much pounding. Nicely shaped and a good user tool
3653.Buck Bros. Cast Steel. 7/8' socket firmer chisel. 5' to shoulder. Handle is old, but may not be original (it's an ugly color)
3649.Riverside Tool Co. 1' corner chisel. Rehandled and a bit shorter than the norm for these, and thus a slight bargain (you still won't use it up in your lifetime)
3648.Union Hardware Company. 1' socket firmer chisel. Some very light pits here and there; edge needs reworking. Whole thing was buffed, but handle is original and good.
3643.PS&W company. What-a-shame 1' socket framing chisel. What a shame because some yo-yo left this in a puddle on his garage floor and it's pitted on the back. Otherwise a swell, heavy duty tool and you can still do a lot of damage with it.
3634.5/8' socket mortise chisel. Unmarked and overcleaned. Might be homemade, as the socket shows some interesting (but noninterfering) flaws.
3544.Wm. Greaves and Son. 3/8' pigsticker type mortise chisel, bolstered, with very nice owner-made turned hardwood handle. Very pretty and a high-quality tool to boot.
3515.TH Witherby. 1/2' socket firmer chisel. 6-1/2' left. Handle looks like a replacement, but is older. Good user.
3500.3/16' mortise chisel. Craftsman-made tanged type. You can still see the file teeth in the side of this one. Strongly made and should work well.
3486.H. Buck. Heavyweight bevel-edged socket chisel, 3/4'. 4-1/2' left to shoulder, in good condition but a bit crudely rehandled (though the handle is usable).
3463.P.S.&W. Co. 3/8' bevel edge paring chisel. Either maker or user put a bend in this one, on purpose, to allow hand clearance. Will make a very good user.
3451.L. Bollels Smithville NY Cast Steel. 1-3/4' framing chisel in relatively lousy shape -- pitted and short at about 4' of usable length. Maker is unusual, however.
3450.Ohio Tool Co. 2' socket firmer chisel. Original handle. Well kept. 5-1/2' from shoulder to end -- plenty to work with.
3447.Ulmia. 3/8' lock mortise chisel. Newer chisel in good shape, ready to use.
3445.Buck Bros. Cast Steel.
3443.I Sorby Cast Steel. 5/16' tanged carving chisel (#1 sweep, meaning flat) Original handle in very nice condition. Excellent user for fine work.
3442.Union Hardware Co., Torrington, Conn. 3/4' bevel-edge chisel made for rougher use, I think. Needs flattening of minor pits near edge. OK user.
3440.Buck Bros. 1/2' socket firmer chisel. No pits. 4' from edge to socket. Good user.
3327.1-3/8' corner chisel. Mark not legible. Beautifully kept; probably rehandled, with its own box. Easily the best condition I've ever seen on one of these.
3313.Keen Kutter 1-1/2' socket firmer chisel, 4' left. Logo clear and readable; chisel is in very good condition, but short.
3264.----ssman Cast Steel. 7/8' corner chisel, edge and corner OK, light pits, 8' left, poorly rehandled. Good DIY corner chisel.
3248.Ryan Tools. Southington, Conn. USA. Set of 4 carpenter's chisels with amazingly ugly green plastic handles; clearly from the 40's. In original plastic pouch. Hi-Klass!
3001.Stanley #1251 Defiance chisel, 1/2', excellent apparently unused condition.
2836.Winchester x841 1/4' bevel-edge socket paring chisel; short at about 3' left but this is a collector chisel anyway. One side of original handle made flat to prevent rolling.
3517.Keen Kutter 8' drawknife with offset handles. Clear mark; knife is a little thin from use, but very well kept with nicely-finished, teardrop shaped handles. An oddly graceful knife from a well-known company
3285.Keen Kutter. 9' drawknife. Faintly marked, and well used, but still some life left in it; knife was well kept, and handles are good. Better than it sounds.
3282.I. Sorby. 9' drawknife with graphical 'Punch' trademark. Will be OK for use, but is a better looker than a user.
3236.DR Barton Rochester. 10' cooper's heading knife. In excellent condition, with original handles. A nice one.
3231.C.E. Jennings 8' folding handle drawknife. In tip top condition, though a bit aggressively cleaned up.
3028.GI Mix patented folding-handle drawknife, 8', with slight curve to edge. All in very good shape except one wingnut is missing a wing. Handles original; edge well cared for.
2899.Cast steel (no other mark). Box scraper or inshave -- this could be either given its degree of curvature. Sturdily made; original handles have capped tangs.
2890.Blue Grass. 12' straight draw knife. Used but not abused; original handles are nice and while blade has had use it was well kept. Unusually large size and (for here) maker
2854.Beach & Sperry Bros. Yale. No 1. Ex. 9' curved drawknife, a little thin in the blade, from what was probably a short-lived New Haven partnership. Unusual mark
2745.Jones Nash. 12' straight drawknife (looks like a shingle knife, actually). Hand forged, looks early. One handle is a later (but far from recent) replacement. Don't know a thing about maker.
3707.Marking gauge. Craftsman-made on the English pattern; an undistinguished job.
3687.Mortise gauge. Unmarked, probably English, exceptionally nicely done in rosewood and brass, with nice detailing on the screw slide and a very pretty plate around the screw on the stock. Very pretty gauge to show or use.
1820.No-name marking gauge. Nothing exciting about these, just good usable old gauges with fences which are a little bigger than usual.
194.Mortise gauge, unknown maker Rosewood with full brass wear plate.
4166.Mix & Co. 1/2' outcannel gouge, medium (about #5) sweep. 6' left to shoulder. Original handle has been beaten and needs replacing. This is a well made and exceptionally sturdy gouge that will reward a little rehabbing.
4162.Buck Bros. 3/8' incannel gouge, #3 sweep (or so). 6-1/2' left. Tanged. Missing the ferrule, and the handle is cracked -- serviceable as is, but a good target for rehandling. Nice older gouge
4149.Record carving tool set. Recently manufactured but of high quality, these tools are much larger than the beginner sets you're used to from Millers Falls and its successors. They're about 9' overall with half that length taken up by the handle. I suspect that makes them easier to use for someone who doesn't do much carving. Included is a flat double-beveled parting-type tool about 1/2' across, a shallow gouge about 3/8', a slightly narrower gouge with a sweep about #3, a 3/8' skew, a v-tool, and something that looks like a small lock mortise chisel about 3/16' or so. This looks like it would make a very good set for someone who just wants a few tools for furniture work.
4139.Unmarked 3/4' shallow-sweep gouge. 7' left to shoulder; tang type. Distinctive original handle should tell me who made this but I'm drawing a blank. A nice one; some light pitting here and there will not detract from use. Unusual sweep.
3954.Buck Bros. Cast steel. 3/4' in-cannel gouge, fairly tight sweep (say #7), 6' left to shoulder, original handle in great shape. Nice gouge.
3919.Charles Buck. Cast steel. Medium (about #5) sweep gouge, 1-1/2', outcannel. Some pitting of the edge itself, which needs reworking, about 6' to the shoulder. A little work on this one will really pay off.
3853.F. Mason. 5/8' outcannel gouge; original handle with leather washer. Shallow sweep. About 6' left. Unusually well cared for.
3514.W.Butcher. 1/8' mortising chisel, tang type. Nice original handle. This is sort of a carver's equivalent of a mortise chisel -- the handle is not set up for heavy work. A quality tool.
3512.Marples Sheffield England. Pair of smaller (1/2') turning tools -- a skew, and a round nose. Nice original handles. For light work.
3301.Miller's Falls six-piece carving set. Rosewood handles; comes in a hardwood box. Very well-kept, barely used set. Tools are about 5' long and a good woodworkers' assortment for simple carving.
3098.DR Barton. 3 mm #8 sweep bent gouge, original handle and ferrule in excellent shape, doesn't seem to have been used much. Nice.
2875.Shaw. 1/4' #3 gouge, pretty short but still usable, good general size for use around the shop.
2872.3/4' #5 sweep crank-neck gouge, marking appears to be 'Crownshaw Birkenhead' though this seems unlikely, tool is high quality and probably late 19th century.
2624.Millers Falls. Set of 6 unused carving tools from the 1960's. This is the basic MF carving set with straight handles, in as-new condition. Great starter set.
2577.Buck Bros. England. 3/8' #9 sweep spoon gouge. Used, but not much, and very well kept.
1253.No maker's mark. 8mm. #7 sweep spoon gouge. Craftsman-made octagonal handle.
1243.Carver's bent knife. No maker's mark. Similar to a race knife on a long shank.
1198.No-name maker; marked 'Germany'. 1/2' #5 sweep gouge with octagonal ash handle.
1193.Set of 4 beginner's carving tools, incl. 3/8' bent gouge, 1/8' straight gouge, 3/8' straight and 1/4' bent chisel. Nice to have around for those odd shaping jobs.
4195.Macadamizing hammer. Oddly short handle for one of these; seems original and unmodified, though. Good condition.
4186.Pexto. Slater's hammer with stacked-leather-washer handle. In very good shape with virtually no chipping or other abuse.
3941.Raising hammer, probably by Pexto. Big sucker with a 3- or 4-lb head, used for big tin beating projects indeed. Some light pitting from bad storage; handle does not appear original but it's a good one and the guy did a nice job of putting it on.
3927.Hammond Philada. #1 cobbler's hammer. Nice older cobbler's hammer, handle original, nice graphic mark, good for adjusting your wooden planes
3918.Maydole. Cast steel. Engineer's pattern hammer, looks like a 2-lb. The mark on this one is faint; not sure why, but this is true of a lot of the older Maydole hammers. Handle original and the hammer itself is in excellent condition
3769.Jarrett's patent jack hammer. Handle is original and in good shape, as is the head, but the strange claw arrangement that was the basis for the patent has been repaired, with fairly crude welds, at all 4 points where breakage was inevitable given the design (it's US patent #2239719, for the curious). The idea here was to replace the time-honored practice of putting a block under a claw hammer when extracting a nail that is too far out of the wood for a normal claw to get any leverage. This was done by adding two arc-shaped pieces of metal extending from the hammer's eye to each claw, each with three 'mini-claws' extending from it. When positioned for use, these were far enough above the wood to allow the user to pull nails that a regular claw wouldn't reach. Trouble was, the arched castings were more delicate than expected and tended to break in use -- as these obviously have.
3768.Peck, Stow & Wilcox East Berlin Conn. Cross-pein hammer similar to a Warrington pattern except the pein goes the other way. Nice, graphical mark seems most unusual -- PS&W did have a plant in East Berlin (I've seen a postcard of it) but this is the first mark I've seen that identifies that location. Original handle in better-than average shape. Head is nicely chamfered. An attractive tool with a neat graphical mark.
3696.Stanley 51-716 16-oz straight-claw hammer, hickory handle, with decal. Basically new not-so-old stock -- looks to be of recent manufacture, and basically unused.
3637.Claw hammer. Unmarked 4-oz itty-bitty job. Handle needs a cleaning. Nice tool for a young apprentice.
3629.Maydole. 4-oz ball-peen hammer with an unusual (to me, at least) script-font mark. Looks like the original handle. Neat tool
3628.H&B ? New Britain, Conn. 4-oz. ball-pein hammer marked 'second'. Don't see what the problem is, myself.
3627.D. Maydole. Uncommon 8 oz. rip-claw hammer. This one has patches of pitting, and one claw has about 1/8' knocked (or ground) off the end. A very unusual hammer in this size.
3624.Plumb. 24 oz brick hammer. Of modern but not recent manufacture. Well-kept; original handle. Winston Churchill would own one just like this, if he weren't dead.
3611.French-pattern cobbler's hammer. Unmarked, graceful hammer with original handle. Well-kept, with no chipping.
3610.GF Eck JS. #2. German-pattern cobbler's hammer. Handle is probably not original and certainly clumsily put on with about a million nails (don't you just love these guys who haven't yet figured out the wedge?)
3609.GM Co Mfg. Co. LI City. Small -- maybe 2 oz. -- ball pein hammer with a loop handle. Looks like a specialty item for the jeweler's or watch repair trades.
3607.Cobbler's hammer. Weak mark, with only 'Cast steel Warranted' readable. Handle replaced. Good, as we all know by now, for attitude adjustment on wooden planes.
3563.Mallet. Medium sized (about a 2.5' diameter head), out of oak, in pretty good shape. Would work well for general application but not heavy stuff.
3555.Unmarked upholsterer's or saddler's hammer, similar to those made by Osborne. Rosewood handles have seen better days, but this will make an elegant and high-functioning user.
3548.Cheney 16-oz nailing hammer. Light pits and a chipped claw; has the original handle but should be rehandled if you plan to use it, as it was badly rewedged at some point.
3488.Copper riveter's hammer. Could be some alloy, I suppose. Weighs about a pound and has the original handle in very good shape. Head is nicked as you'd expect from something that soft. Just the thing for banging away in powder magazines, Zeppelin storage hangars, and other spark-sensitive environs.
3464.Mallet, square-headed variety, a little the worse for wear from someone using the sides to beat on tent stakes or who knows what, but still real useful.
3453.Wooden mallet. Probably beech. 3' diameter head. In much better than usual condition for one of these -- will make a very nice user.
3359.Upholstery or saddler's hammer. Homemade and beautifully done, with beautiful chamfer and file work. Strap-handle pattern. Some very slightly mushroomed. Handle orig. and exc.
3280.Unmarked French upholsterer's hammer, almost certainly by CS Osborne. Rosewood handle in excellent shape -- a nice hammer for driving tacks.
3279.Cheney. Little Falls NY. Patent nail-holding hammer. Probably rehandled (though well), darkened head has not-very-visible mark; good for all that.
3272.C. Hammond Boston Warranted. Pre-adze-eye claw hammer, original handle in not-so-great shape, not surprising given the age.
3271.Unmarked rip-claw hammer; most unusual strap-and-wedge design holds head on a very nice original handle. Never seen anything quite like it. A good one.
3254.Unmarked cobbler's hammer. good for adjusting your woodie.
3246.Unmarked 8-oz claw hammer. Has been rehandled, but looks like a o
3228.Cobbler's hammer. Unmarked; handle was probably replaced some time back but is nicely patina'd and sound.
3180.Massive handforged stoneworker's or brick hammer, with the word 'Erie' stanped in; might be a railroad tool of some sort.
3117.Belden Machine Co. New Haven Conn USA. Slater's hammer in tip-top condition; leather handle; no chips dings or other problems. Great example.
3002.Stanley Defiance hammer #212. Not listed in Walter. Identified by ink stamping on butt of handle, as all of these seem to be. Tool in good, clean condition as is the decal.
2990.Cobbler's hammer. French pattern, with neat craftsman-made handle Small crack at one side of head, somebody started to sharpen the claw. Kinda graceful.
2878.4 oz. claw hammer. Unmarked. Handle original and in good shape, but a little loose in the dry winter air. air. Good tool for a galoot-in-training.
2877.Tinner's planishing hammer (I think). Not in Comerford. Ends are convex half-cylinders, 1 is 3/4' and the other 1/2'. Made for shaping grooves, it would seem.
2835.C. Hammond Philada. #4. Veneering hammer. Sm. chip out of right corner of blade; orig. handle badly split but usable. Old veneer hammers aren't common.
2782.Machinist's cross-peen hammer. 20 oz., I think. Original handle.
2780.C.S. Osborne #211 upholsterer's tack hammer. Handle appears original and undamaged. Good user tool.
2778.Curious tack hammer; it's the Richardson patent of 1891, but it's clearly marked as patented Oct. 28, 1890. New information? It's in rough shape with a chipped head and one welded repair. Unusual
2774.Minature claw hammer with nicely flared head, probably 12 oz., appears early with delicate original handle. Very nice, words don't do it justice.
2773.Miniature cross-peen hammer looks a lot like a riveting hammer, nicely shaped original handle; weighs maybe 6 oz. Cute.
2772.Upholsterer's deep tufting hammer with extra long head and claw. These are extra handy for working on tufted Victorian pieces. Handle on this one looks like a refit.
2771.Upholsterer's hammer with 2 round striking surfaces (no claw); handle has been shortened by its original owner (or at some point early in the life of the tool),nicely patinated.
2722.Small jeweler's or watchmaker's hammer. Unmarked. In fine shape with original handle nicely patina'd and worn from use. A nice little hammer
2709.Stubs. England #13 miniature watchmaker's hammer, in excellent shape with original handle.
2626.Unmarked strap-handled tack hammer. May well be hand forged; handle original. Has round and straight heads with claw off the side of the straight end. Interesting and most unusual
2556.Unmarked slaters' hammer with the usual leather handle; slight mushrooming of face.
2524.Another cobbler's hammer, but this one is in very nice shape and has an extremely comfortable, apparently custom-turned handle.
2434.Bridgeport Hdwr Mfg Corp. #99 'Tomahawk' crating hammer/hatchet. Wood handles in excellent shape; blade in much better shape than is usual for one of these.
2327.4-oz. ball peen hammer with no maker's mark. Not of recent manufacture. Handle original and nicely patina'd with no problems. Unusual small size.
2205.Slater's hammer with official slater-type leather handle. Nice and clean, ready to open up new horizons in roof repair or mayhem.
2199.Conn. Arms Co. hammer starting on the side, and on this one it's not too chewed up as they often are. An interesting and unusual hammer.
2158.Goldblatt Tool Co. Kansas City Kan. Brick hammer. In good shape with the original handle. Nice tool for all you aspiring masons.
2101.Hand-forged paving hammer. Nice forging job, but the guy could have done better tempering -- the business end is chipped. Still a nice looking primitive tool.
1740.Hebblethwaite's patent cast iron hammer with loop-style handle and hook which was the basis of the patent. This rare hammer is not in the Baird book. Little japan, but no pitting either.
1669.Another small claw hammer, possibly for a child, nice hickory handle. Good for that junior galoot.
1668.Very small claw hammer possibly meant as a child's tool and certainly good for that now. Original handle looks to have been tightened by banging nails in the end.
1612.Farrier's driving hammer, with very long (deep) adze eye and original handle. Appears hand forged.
1116.Cobbler's hammer. This one has the original handle, but I'm not sure you'd believe how it is held on. A patent date and the words 'solid steel' are dimly visible.
1110.Automotive bumping hammer with round and square faces. These work well for a variety of shaping operations on metal sheet. clean working faces and handle on this one.
954.Atha. Unusual tinner's hammer of some sort; has two chisel-like ends at right angles, sort of a cross-pein and straight-pein hammer all in one.
953.Saw doctor's hammer (I think). Not a doghead, but more like a small blacksmith's flatter with scallops on the arrises; about 1' by 1-1/2' on the striking face
350.Another mystery hammer similar in intent to a Warrington pattern, but cruder. Would work well for caning chairs, where you need more beef than a tack hammer but smaller size than a claw hammer.
4181.Unmarked sliding t-bevel; rosewood and brass with 12' blade. These larger bevels are getting to be hard to find. This one's been overcleaned at some point. Quite good and serviceable.
4178.Lufkin #2504 4' combination try and miter square. Level bubble's intact but the scriber is of course AWOL. Blade is clean and readable -- a nice little square.
4175.Stanley #46-101 aluminum center-finding square. I own one of these and love it -- it is excellent for finding the center on round stock, circular work, and so on. Also has a not very accurate protractor and could be used as a right-angle square in a pinch (also without much accuracy). Very handy device.
4173.Stanley #98 double-stem marking gauge. Finishes are in good shape with readable gradations; logo is interesting and graphical -- wish I could find a type study so I could date it. These gauges have marking pins on one end and wheels on the other for maximum marking versatility.
4072.Stanley #122 combination square. Some paint drips; splotchy darkening on the blade; still perfectly usable.
4050.Marking gauge. Unmarked, but obviously manufactured (nice gradated scale on the stem) and probably English (to judge by the shape). Boxwood fence. Seen some use, but can see a lot more.
4049.Dunlap. Marking gauge. Interesting if ham-handed attempt to make an inexpensive pizza-wheel gauge for the mass market; sort of a mutt, but I've not seen anything else like it and it appears that it would work well enough
3975.Stanley #72 double-stem marking gage. Excellent condition; newer manufacture with notched-rectangle logo (not all that new, though -- these were not made after 1958) Little-used and excellent.
3965.Stanley #36-1/2R 1-foot folding caliper rule; later manufacture with notched-rectangle logo. Normal toolbox scratches and bangs, still quite legible. I can vouch that these are handy when measuring tools for catalog listings, and can also be used in the shop quite profitably.
3939.Stanley #2 combination try and miter square, later type with SW mark. 6' blade, clear marks, normal toolbox dings. Nice small user.
3923.Stanley #74 double stem marking gauge. SW mark dates it to the late 20's or early 30's; marks are strong and clean, with a little staining but nothing bad.
3911.Stanley #15 miter square. Polished-steel variety, very light surface rust will clean with a little WD40; will work well.
3876.Panel gauge. About 16' practical maximum use; hard to tell what the wood is; definitely not beech or maple; tempted to say it's boxwood but it's too dark. A nice gauge
3834.DIY mortise gauge #2. Rosewood, fully-faced in brass, with one missing pin. Also has a chip out of one end of the stock where it was dropped. Replace the pin, and you'll have a nice gauge at a bargain price.
3833.DIY rosewood and brass mortise gauge. This is a nice English-looking gauge, but the pins are completely worn. A few minutes' work with a drill, end nippers, a small finish nail and a file would be well rewarded.
3792.Stanley #68 cheap-ass two-foot four-fold rule. Later type with vertical numbering. In excellent condition.
3791.Stanley #66-3/4 brass-bound, 3-foot four-fold rule. SW mark. Normal pocket/toolbox wear; finishes and markings average.
3744.Try square, 3', unmarked. Kinda trashy with a chip out of the bottom of the stock; generally needs cleaning. Still, if you don't have one of these for checking edge-jointing work or other small, one-hand applications, this'd be a good addition to the shop at a low price.
3743.Unmarked rosewood and brass try-and-miter square, 11' blade. Very pretty if a little buffed-up, probably English in origin., wood has a couple very minor dings. Good fancy user.
3742.Unmarked ebony and brass 45-degree miter square with 16' blade. Damned big thing, this one, and very pretty too. Ready for work or display.
3741.Unmarked, massive ebony try square in ebony and brass. 13' steel blade has some light 'rash'. Stock has a saw nick (must've broken the guy's heart when he did it) but these do not detract from the overall ebony-and-brass swellness of this thing. Very pretty.
3677.Mortise gauge. Unmarked (save for a 'No 19' on the stock) rosewood and brass gauge looks like an English gauge from the 19th century. A very nicely made and attractive gauge, with full brass plate on the stock and many fine details.
3670.Brass plumb bob. 1-lb. model with leather belt holster. Banged around from use. Perfectly suitable for all your vertical needs.
3662.Lufkin #1260 aluminum zig zag rule in the ever-popular 72' size.
3635.Union Tool Co. Orange, Mass. Tempered No. 4 slide caliper rule, 6' long. All metal; clearly marked in 64ths, with a set screw that makes it more useful as a pass gauge than most caliper rules.
3592.Marking gauge. All-metal, machinist-made pizza-wheel type. Stem is 9' long (longer than most). Stock is about 1-1/4' diameter. Very usable.
3589.Stanley #95 butt gauge. Tool dealers have already made every obvious joke there is in describing these layout tools in their catalog copy, and I won't add to the heap. Good when you're in a jamb.
3581.Lufkin Rule Co. Challenge stainless steel tape -- 30 meters (100 feet). Dual metric/english steel tape in leather-covered case. Unusual.
3580.Lufkin Hi-Line 100 ft. woven cloth measuring tape. Great for those situations in which a metal tape would kink or bend. Very useful.
3543.Goodell-Pratt #707 combination square. I haven't seen a lot of these. They have a very distinctively shaped stock. This one needs a cleaning. Interesting and functional.
3541.Marking gauge. Nice machinist-made metal job, smaller in size than most. Thoughtfully crafted.
3516.Stanley #16 filled miter square. Unmarked, but certainly the early Stanley type. 8' blade has some light pits. Cast iron frame; looks like walnut infill.
3509.Mortise gauge. Unmarked newer English model; not as well-made as older ones. But serviceable -- a good bargain user
3478.'Rustless' Rule Buffalo NY. Aluminum zig-zag rule has unusually-sized 4' sections; 48' overall. Patented. Very clean and nice -- and highly obscure.
3460.Mortise gauge. Rosewood and brass. Unmarked modern type with what looks like an especially annoying and dysfunctional mechanism that requires you to set the fence and the pin spacing at the same time (yeah, right). Get this thing offa my hands.

Good+ (but design sucks)

15.00
|
3444.Scratch awl. Looks manufactured, or could just be a very nice homemade one; nicely turned handle and brass ferrule. Good to use or look at.
3438.Stanley #21 combination square, in the unusual 9' size. Sweethart mark. Clear and crisp.
3437.Stanley #21 combination square. 12'. Sweethart mark. Clean and crips and readable.
3348.Large (30') handforged compass with built-in pencil holder. Somebody needed one, so they made one -- and very nicely, too. Not quite large enough to lay out a crop circle, but close.
3343.Lufkin metric surveyors tape, steel, looks like it's probably 50 meters or so but I have not run it out.
3332.Boye Brand combination rule tool. Impossible to explain to a sane human being, it's a combination-square, bevel-gauge, level, miter square sort of a thing. Kinda.
3330.Starrett #12 bevel protractor head and 18' rule. The rule looks much newer than the protractor (in fact, nearly unused) and is probably a replacement.
3329.Starrett #492 protractor head and 12' rule. Nice and legible, and apparently of older manufacture.
3318.Starrett No. 50-A chrome-plated trammel points, complete with pencil holder, excellent condition. The glare from these things will blind you as you happily swing big arcs.
3314.Stanley #1 miter square. Type 2 steel square, fairly recent production. 10' blade. All finishes and markings excellent.
3275.Stanley #21 combination square; 9' size SW. mark on blade, which has some wear and tarnish spots. Japan on stock is in good shape
3260.L.S. Knoek, H't'fd, CT. Outside caliper. Little is known about this manufacturer; caliper is basically a copy of the Starrett.
3259.Starrett, Athol Mass. Outside caliper, 8.5' capacity, in very nice condition.
3258.Unmarked. Big effin' outside caliper. 13' capacity. Light storage rust. What you need if you're turning your own telephone poles, or something.
3171.Dunlap combination square, new in the box, which is somewhat scuffed. All you Dunlap collectors should light up like a house afire at the prospect of owning this, yep, you betcha.
3156.Disston #5-1/2 8' steel try square. Has survived someone's attempt to clean it up in readable condition. Not great, but not bad either.
3125.Dietzgen brass plumb bob (1 #). Newer brass plumb bob for the professional user.
3095.Stanley #20 8' try square. Blade excellent, stock has a hang hole Somebody painted over the brass rivets presumably to prevent telltale glints during nighttime stealth layout operations.
3088.Marking gauge, obviously English, out of rosewood with brass inset for wear and on base. Chip from the stock near where the bar passes through. Very nice looking and distinctive.
3070.Stanley #46-250 try and miter square. Similar to late model #1s, but with a 50 cm. bleade marked in mm. Stock is marked 'Made in USA', so isn't some Euro-aberration. Interesting.
3069.Disston and Morss, Philadelphia. 6' try square, rosewood stock. Blade good but needs a cleaning, mark faint.
3039.LS Starrett Company. Spring caliper. 6' maximum opening. In excellent condition, useful for turning. You see a lot of rare, but larger ones like this are not as easy to find.
3006.Stanley Defiance #1221 combination square. Finishes in exc. shape w/ some very small patches of light storage rust.
2988.Mortise gauge in rosewood and brass. Unmarked. Similar to Stanley 77, but with double mustache wear plates and no provision for a shoe. Some nicks and sm. chips, overall better than average
2886.No-name rosewood and brass mortise gauge similar to Stanley #77, a little enthusiastically cleaned, mechanically sound and points good, good deal for a user.
2834.Oddball panel gauge; probably craftsman-made but nicely done, with an extra large fence and a thumbscrew that looks like it could be a hood ornament. Mahogany, I think.
2810.Craftsman try and miter square similar to Stanley #2. Often these have problesms with accuracy, because the brass strip pulls away from the stock. Not this one. 6' blade.
2761.J.Rabone and Sons. #1191 two-foot, four fold boxwood rule and inclinometer. Very clean; lettering inside is very very crisp, that outside less so; no stains or nicks. A nice one.
2730.Trammel points. Craftsman-made with a beam out of highly figured wood and a beautiful wedge-and-shoe locking mechanism. A gorgeous piece of work that must be seen to be believed.
2704.Starrett protractor head. Early model without the level feature, but marked with the 1883 patent date. Not sure when the level was introduced, actually...
2702.Protractor head. Unmarked but obviously high quality, probably Union Tool. Level vial intact, marks clear, a good one.
2691.Panel gauge with 1' depth; craftsman-made from oak with a wedge-type stop; works well.
2647.Stanley #1 steel mitre square in the 6' size, a nice compact little square for everyday use. Don't see many in this smaller size.
2564.Framing square. Most unusual; made by a tinner, it seems, with hand stamped numbers on thick tin stock to which a beading machine has been applied; soldered at the elbow. Neat.
2474.Stanley #61 marking gauge with SW mark, needs a cleaning but I doubt it was ever used.
2410.Stnaley #72 double-stem marking gauge, maybe, except it doesn't say Stanley anywhere. Overcleaned like you wouldn't believe, but still a good user.
2345.Stanley #69 1-foot, four-fold boxwood rule with brass ends. This one does not have the Stanley mark, as is often the case with this model. Clean and legible.
2326.No-name calipers with detachable legs; could be inside or outside depending on which way you have them turned. About 8' overall; sturdy and nice.
2311.Stanley #21 combination square with slotted 12' rule; head has 90% nickel or more, though dull. SW mark on rule; markings are clean and crisp.
2309.Unusual mortise gauge marked 'No. 4' on fully-brass-faced fence. No other marks visible; in rosewood and a touch overcleaned. Steel thumbscrew probably a replacement.
2291.Unmarked but without no doubt a Stanley #77 mortise gauge. Normal fairly light wear, mostly toolbox scratches.
2290.Rosewood and brass mortise gauge. Unmarked; of heavier construction than a #77. Pin appears replaced, but nicely. A good hefty gauge.
2272.Panel gauge. Unmarked, but similar to the Stanley #85 1/2, made of rosewood, with a very attractive brass nut. Worn from use and may have been repaired, but still a very pretty gauge.
2073.Wooden caliper rule, 4' long overall, with meter and inch scales. Advertising for Herpers Bros. Setting Makers, Newark, NJ. Clean and attractive
2000.Stanley #164 marking gauge with the extra brass faceplate. This one is pretty clean, with normal toolbox wear and readable markings.
1999.Stanley #74 double gauge with two adjustable slides. Post-1872 model with shoes; in average condition with markings readable and typical toolbox/user wear
1923.Craftsman try and mitre square with 6' blade and brassbound edge. Never mind the name on it, this is a Stanley #2 in disguise. Quite clean with original bluing

1655.Attractive craftsman-made marking gauge with round stock and octagonal stock, with inlet brass circle as wear plate. Some staining, and the wooden thumbscrew has a chip.
1654.Stanley #77 rosewood and brass mortising gauge; does not have Stanley mark but there's little doubt. A touch overcleaned, but still pretty. Somebody named 'A' put initials in several spots.
1641.Stanley 122 who-cares modern combination square. Buy it for the kids.
1631.No-name boxwood mortise gauge. Well made, with the bullseye r rivet covers you so often see on these user.
1358.Nice, unmarked marking gauge with round stock and fence. Simple, but appealing and useful.
1337.Large, attractive mahogany and brass square with 20' blade. A handsome layout tool, probably English, with 4 diamond pads. Occasional pitting on blade as is typical.
1036.Panel gauge. Craftsman-made out of I'm not sure what wood; may be maple stained to look like rosewood. Nice job, though. 15' long,. with wooden thumbscrew
877.Trammel points. Cheesy quick-setting type, useful if you have to slide them around a lot but probably just misplaced ingenuity.
773.D. Flather and Sons Solly Works Sheffield Large, attractive try square with mahogany stock and long 17 1/4' blade. Hang hole appears original.
613.Levitt Co. 1888 patent double-stem metal marking gauge with octagonal fence & scribing wheels. and useful.

184.Stanley #92 rabbet gauge the case.
183.Stanley #93 butt gauge
3708.Leatherworker's clamp. Oddly, an advertising item - reads 'Agents wanted for the Mend-Rip. The JB Foote Foundry Co., Fredericktown, Ohio.' Marking is a little faint, and tool has been banged around a bit. JB Foote is still in business; no idea whether this thing is itself the famous Mend-Rip, or not.
3704.Circular welt cutter. Unmarked leatherworking tool. Original fruitwood handle. Some light pits.
3577.Boot or shoe stretcher. Japanned. About 50% of original finish remains; tool is unmarked. I don't recall seeing one of these with a working spring return before.
3520.Pair of shoemaker's glazing irons. 'Cut down' or French pattern. No maker's mark. Painted handles are original; one is missing ferrule.
4108.Stanley #16 carpenter's level, 28'. Type 5A. First level with the 'Hand-y' groove feature. Vials intact; finish scuffed on the top but excellent overall; a couple of nicks on the corners. Not bad for something that's 114 years old.
3850.Stanley #37 12' level. 98% of nickel remains. Unusually good condition for one of these. Blue stain on one side looks like magic marker or machinist's layout dye; should clean.
3762.Stanley #3 26' carpenter's level; SW mark dates this one to around 1935. This one's well-kept, with original finishes in excellent shape, nicely patinated brass, and good vials.
3761.Stanley #90 28' carpenter's level, mahogany with brass-trimmed porthole and side view; brass end tips. Attractive level has good vials; minor dings and bangs. A nice-looking tool.

3369.Mason's level. Craftsman-made 48' board with curved upper edge holds manufactured adjustable twin-bubble apparatus marked OTD Pat'd. Curved vials. Strange beast, but interesting. 39', about. I wonder if it's actually a meter long.

3342.DM Lyon. 30' carpenter's level from an early NJ maker. This one's neither especially clean nor crisp.

3179.Stanley 00 Level, 20', SW era mark, vials intact, wood in overall better than average condition though not mint.

2918.Stanley #37 nickel-plated level. 12'. Vials intact and finishes excellent; some wear shows copper undercoat in spots. A nice looking tool.

2825.Acme Level Co. 24' all-metal level. Butt-ugly would be too nice a way to describe this horrific piece of stamped metalwork. Thank God we don't see many of these.
2554.The L.S.S. Co Athol Mass USA. #133 10' adjustable-pitch level can be set for up to 1' pitch per foot. Vials intact, nickel on tilt vial and scale excellent, japan 20%, no rust.

1439.Bostrom-Brady #4 contractor's level. Just the thing for home surveying. Optics good; could use some cleaning. In (ratty) original wooden box with (ratty+) instructions.
1024.Southington Hdw. Co. / Pat. Appl'd For. Steel adjustable level. This is an uncommon and underappreciated iron level from Connecticut; this one is well-patinated with minor pitting.

104.KeenKutter KK0 level 24' hardwood level with brass cover plates. One vial cap is missing
25.Acme 18' level
4138.Lufkin 6-piece center punch set. Something for all your metal-dinging needs. The punches are in great shape and this is a great set -- too bad the plastic pouch didn't age well and is cracking. You'll like these.
4022.Brown and Sharpe Mfg. Co. #8 micrometer, 1'. In good, legible condition.
4074.Brown and Sharpe Mfg. Co. #802 inside caliper; a very nice pair of 6' spring calipers in near-perfect condition.
3862.Master Precision Tools, USA. Machinists surface gauge. Maker is, oddly, not in Cope. This is a well-made tool, pretty clearly a ripoff of the Starrett 257, with a 12' spindle.
3703.4' outside spring caliper. Unmarked, but possibly early and English based on the wingnut and profile. Intriguing little caliper.
3688.P.Lowentraut Mfg. Newark NJ. 6' outside caliper from the company much better known for its brace wrenches.
3623.4' outside spring caliper. Unmarked. Light storage rust should respond well to WD-40. I know I do.
3622.Brown and Sharpe Mfg. Co. 6' lock-joint transfer caliper, inside-measurement flavor. These are handy, as they can 'record' a measurement and allow the leg to be moved in order to clear an obstruction.
3549.Starrett #56A toolmaker's surface gauge, in a battered box. Smaller surface gauge should work well for knifemakers, machinists, and other metalheads.
3361.Kimball and Talbot, Worcester. Patented watchmaker's caliper. 3' overall. Some slight 'rash' pitting in spots.
3334.Reed Small Tool Works. 4' micrometer. Good condition though it looks like it was poorly stored at some point. This mark existed briefly from 1916-21, a successor to Reed and Prince.
3306.Extra-big inside spring caliper, 11' overall. Good condition.
3304.Brown and Sharpe #835 firm-joint hermaphrodite caliper. 6' overall.
2844.Surface gauge. 12' overall. Nicely handmade and probably early These seem to have been apprentice- or showpieces for machinists, as there are a lot of craftsman-made ones around.
2637.Surface gauge. Unmarked, and not in Cope or any other reference I can find. Turned base and style of wing nut make me think it's early. 12' tall, some surface gunge but in good shape.
2490.Starrett #436 1' micrometer. This pup has seen some use -- japan is worn in all the spots where it would have been gripped, and there's tarnish on reading surfaces. Salvage it cheap...
2489.Starrett #436 1' mic, usual wear to japan but all reading surfaces appear new (the tool was well cared for).
2486.J.T. Slocomb Co. 1-2' micrometer, ordinary wear to japanning from use, some tarnishing on one side but quite readable.

2076.J.Stevens A&T Co. Chicopee Falls, Mass USA. 6' inside spring calipers; appear to be early and certainly usable.
2065.4' outside calipers similar to early models made by Stevens, but owner-stamped 'JMR 1840'. Early, clean, and nice.
1963.Starrett #124 inside micrometer with 10 rods. Very good condition.
1921.Starrett #246 jointer-planer gauge. Used for setting up planers. This one has a little storage rust; new versions of this tool cost about $280, so this is a bargain at a mere $125
1920.Starrett #246 jointer-planer gauge in good condition, with some
1721.Starrett #57 surface gauge in the largest size with 18' and machinist-made 24' spindle. An older tool but kept in great shape.
1720.Starrett 246 jointer-planer gauge. Pete W. put his initials on this one and stripped some of the knurling off the set screw. In overall excellent condition, a good setup tool.
1718.Starrett #2 1-2' micrometer caliper with rounded anvil and 1' standard disc.
1717.Miller's Falls 7010 0-1' micrometer with ratchet adjust. In well-cared-for condition.
1716.Starrett 445B depth micrometer with 4' base and 9 rods (measures to 9'), plus 3 extra rods. In as-new condition.
1658.Nice little pair of outside spring calipers, 4' long. No maker's mark but early in appearance with a vein detail worked in each leg. Intriguing and early.
1613.Brown and Sharpe Mfg. Co. inside spring calipers, 6'. Fully functional.
1542.Stanley #57 6' dividers. Clean, bright, and sharp (I just hurt myself on them). Not rare, but then again you don't see these every day. A good pair.
1432.Starrett #36 1' micrometer; older variety without ratchet stop. Japan in excellent shape and so is the rest of it...
756.Miller's Falls #32 micrometer-style depth gauge.
473.Spring caliper, outside type. 4-1/2' long. No discernable mark, but turning on adjuster looks right for Union Tool Company. Chicago

4042.Colt, Batavia NY. Pair of cam clamps, iron, 3-1/2' throat and 12' capacity. You don't see these every day, and they are most useful for a number of work-holding applications, since you can quite closely control the amount of pressure they exert. Unusual and useful.
3971.Craftsman turning tool set of 5. Includes 1' and 1/2' skews; roughing gouge; 1/2' roundnose scraper; and a spearpoint. All have around 5' left and look to be HSS of good, solid manufacture. Handles are nice and ferrules tight. Will make a nice starter set for somebody.
3958.Greenlee #518 nail puller.Big cast-iron sucker of the slamming-handle variety. Great for demolition work and ripping up decks, but definitely not the thing to use for removing delicate cove moldings temporarily. This one's appropriately painted bright green.
3915.Bung auger. Unmarked. Starter auger is 1-1/8' diameter and auger will cut a 2' hole. This one was badly stored and is pitted, but will clean to make a good user.
3914.Bung auger. Unmarked. Starter auger is 1-1/8' diameter and auger will cut a 2' hole. In good shape.
3780.Tool chest. 26' x 12' overall, right-sized to hold standard 9-1/2' molding planes. Well made, and appealing, with original hardware, and a Master padlock that appears to date to the early part of the last century (but I'm no lock expert). Key included.
3711.Unmarked, manufactured wheelwright's traveler. With pointer, very graphical markings. Attractive tool used for figuring wagon-tyre length. This is a nice, clean example.
3646.Number stamps. Unmarked 1/4' set is nevertheless high quality. Good for numbering practically anything permanently.
3641.Ken-Tool T11G truck tire hammer. Used to pry the tire off the rim on very large truck tires. A *big* sumbitch.
3593.Klein Tools #3255 broad-head bull pin, 13' long, for lining up holes in big metal things. Enormous. With its own leather holster. Did I say enormous?
3586.Multitool handle with 6 bits. Marked 'Patented August 12 1884'. Hardwood handle (beech, maybe) has a couple of small splits near the ferrule. Unmarked, but chuck design is that of a Fray.
3583.Tool handle (multitool) with 8 bits. Unmarked. Has the usual tack puller, gouge screwdrivers etc. Not a distinguished example of the genre, as a film student would say -- stained hardwood handle.
3578.Hand countersink. Big honkin' thing, about 1' in diameter overall. Can't think what you'd do with one this large, but I guess sometimes....
3562.Tattoo outfit. In the original, mildewed box. No, I'm not kidding. It's not what you think, either -- this is made for tattooing the ears of cattle and otherwise marking livestock. We do not provide technical support for this item. Nor do we want to know what you do with it.
3551.Young Bros. Stamp Works Muscatine Iowa. 3/16: lettering stamp set. In primo condition for banging your name into things.
3505.PDQ weight tool. A patented multitool that does everything you might want to do with a lead weight by way of cutting, shaping, and crimping. Looks like a 50's product, but who knows.
3502.Yacht scraper. Big, handforged job with a nicely turned handle. Like most things that have been around water it has some pits, but it's a solid and interesting piece of smithing.
3501.Tap-holder (I think). Screwdriver-style device about 18' overall with a tap-holder type chuck designed for very small taps. Just the thing for retapping a hole inside a 15' recess, I guess. Go figure.
3487.Big ol' handled sailmaker's or leatherworker's needle, about 9' long. Good for starting conversations, either as a display piece or by jabbing people in the hindquarters.
3466.Bronze jeweler's anvil. Swell little thing about 4' from the tip of the horn to the heel. Surface could use a little flattening with a file.
3418.Steel numbering set. 1/8' machine cut, appears to be the companion to the letter set listed here. From Sears. Not used much, either, it would appear.
3410.Steel lettering set, 1/8', machine-cut, from the days when Sears, Roebuck and Company sold just about everything. No moving parts to go wrong, and you can deface just about anything with these.
3368.Patternmaker's tool chest. Unmarked 11-drawer model. Has been nicely refelted in Whorehouse Red. Front panel has a couple of cracks (not unsightly). Leather handle has come unsewn and delaminated but still works. Finishes good. A nice working chest.
3366.Patternmaker's 11-drawer toolchest. Unmarked. Leather-covered; one small tear at bottom rear edge. Felt in typical gungy condition; wood and knobs excellent; front in good shape; no keys. A very good user

3320.AMP. Ratcheting crimper with die marked 16-14 2-4 DC. Light storage rust will clean.
3319.A-MP. Some sort of ratcheting crimper for electrical connectors, marked 22-16 PIDG.
3292.PDQ Weight Tool (Pat. 2314145). Multitool with several functions mostly incomprehensible except for a hammer and some kind of cutter. For lead weights and sinkers, I think. Unusual as hell.
3281.Greenlee. Set of 8 HSS turning tools in near-new condition; original box. beginner or intermediate user.
3232.Stanley #59 dowel jig with all 6 original guides; impeccable condition.
3195.Pair of cobbler's glazing tools
3194.24' fleshing knife. Maker's mark is in a diamond logo; hard to read but could be 'Horn' or 'Norn'. In excellent condition with original handles.

3147.Assortment of 9 gunsmith's checkering tools. I know next to nothing about these, but the condition is good and the tools are sharp and ready to use.
3136.Brass watchmaker's caliper. Maximum opening about 1.5'; this is the type that can be set with a wing-and-set-screw arrangement.
3135.Otis A. Smith Rockfall Conn. Patented washer cutter. Rockfall patents on numerous devices of which this is one. Japan mostly gone but lettering and scale are very clear.
3017.Everhot Mfg. Co. Set of 8 branding irons (makes all numerals since 6 & 9 are the same). For marking crates and not cattle, we think. Yee-haw!
3000.Stanley #891 Defiance tool chest. 11 of 17 original tools, plus a couple of extras (extra saw, pliers, etc). All that are there are in exc. condition; chest has spots & scuffed but good label.

2936.HC Marsh, Rockford, Illinois. New Marsh Improved Miter Box. With original saw in great shape; box appears complete but I don't know these well. Most uncommon.
2935.Kennedy 3-drawer drop-front machinist's tool chest, about x 15' high; lid lifts on deep top drawer. Good but used condition felt is grease-stained but intact. Good user.
2913.James Swan. Most unusual and complex adjustable hollow auger. Appears to be missing the cutters. Nonetheless a real conversation piece.
2895.Diamond No. 1 Pat. Mar. 18 28. Device similar to a primitive staple gun, used for setting glazier's or framer's points. An interesting and probably early attempt.
2880.Miniature bronze anvil, about 3.5' overall, replica of London pattern, nice for jewelry work after top is filed flat again.
2858.Large cooper's bung auger, probably bores up to 2' hole. Hard to tell but very tip of lead screw may have broken off; excellent condition otherwise.
2767.Set of 5 plow irons by Ward, #4,5,6,7,9, with a roll; who knows where #8 is? All are in great shape.
2729.Pat'd. May 5 1896. Plumber's lead-pipe expanding tool of the conical type that you squeeze. Not to be used as a speculum.
2669.T.S. & J.D. Negus. Navigator's parallel rule in some sort of alloy. Graduated in degrees. Should clean to be very crisp, but I'll let you do that. Small scratches on back from use.
2548.Nail puller marked 'Samson Pat. Aug. 19. 82'. One of the most unlikely pieces of machinery you'll ever see, this thing is to the average nail puller what a howitzer is to a pea shooter.
2538.Set of 4 carriage-trimmer's clamps. Took a little research, but principle if not in appearance to those found in Salaman. Used to hold leather when covering coaches, etc.
2535.IP Hyde Super Hydex Steel. Neat pair of taping/spackling knives with solid brass bolsters and very cool-looking marbled celluloid handles, probably from the 30's.
2526.Farrier's hoof-trimming butteris. This one's seen some use.
2521.Hand-forged snow knocker; face is mushroomed from use as a hammer
2496.Maltby, Henley & Co. New York. 'Giant' nail puller. These are good for work on demolition, ripping out floors, clouting neighbors you don't like, and so on.
2398.Ashtray with reproduction of the front page of the Greenfield Recorder on the occasion of Millers' Falls Company's 100th anniversary. Very clean, probably never used, and very unusual.
2361.Star nail puller. Most unusual design. Pincer head is actually a split casting pinced together by cam action of rocker arm. Hard to explain, but I've never seen one like it.
2351.Scorp. Closed variety with single handle, 3' across overall and a good curvature for chair seats. Little pitting but needs a sharpening job. Original handle octagonal and nicely patina'd.
2304.All-metal honing guide similar to those made outta plastic by General. I assume this one's home-made by a patternmaker, becaus there's no mark on it. Interesting piece.
2295.L.S. Starrett patented food chopper. An ingenious invention and the basis of both Starrett's 1st. patent and his stormy relations with the Athol Machine Co. This one is in average condition.
2193.Pull scraper (box scraper). Unusual item with no maker's mark. Quite graceful cast-iron form with unusual and clever blade depth adjustment in which screw is a modern replacement. Most unusual
2184.EC Atkins Co patented box scraper with blade marked Atkins Silver Steel; beaded handle. Ordinary wear to finishes. A clever and unusual item for the Atkins collector.
2157.'Giant' nail puller by the Maltby Henley Co. of New York. This one's patented and even has the two reissue dates cast in the handle; not clear what the feature is, though.
2134.P.D. Germany. Unusual and ingenious little pair of folding nail scissors in an artificial-leather case. cuticle tools, etc. Interesting little item.
2132.All-brass glass cutter marked 'France' incorporates a little screwdriver hidden in the handle. Looks early but may not be. A pretty little tool, though.
2113.Badge/ribbon from someone's 1919 convention; medallion has center which is a photo of John Davey, Father of Tree Surgery. A strange but interesting piece.
2095.Nat'l W'bone Co Co. Some kind of crimper, presumably for setting eyelets in whalebone corsets. (yep -- these are from the Whalebone Corset Company.
2090.Group of 7 1860's dental tools. Ebony handles; probably most of a set of 8 or 12. Exquisite.
2088.Group of 6 Civil War era dental instruments. Ivory handles with even heel. First rate.
2087.Pair of leatherworker's round punches, 3/8 and 1/2'. One is marked CS Osborne, and the other isn't. These are handy for doing tarp and tent repair as well.
2086.Lot of 10 arch-type leather punches by various makers, ranging in size from 7/16' up to 1-1/2'. Clean, sharp, and ready to go. Write for exact sizes.
2049.Locksmith or jeweler's caliper. Nicely made with brass scale and integral spring formed by a cut in one leg. An attractive and unusual tool.
1977.Nicholls Tools. Brass concrete creaser for making nice little grooves in a sidewalk. Actually a very good looking tool which would make a nice piece to put on your desk.
1925.Hog snouter. This combination shear and ring crimper has little japanning and only a Maltese cross to identify the maker. Be the first on your block to own one of these.
1917.EC Atkins Indianapolis Ind. Most unusual ram's horn scraper out of boxwood with original Atkins Silver Steel blade. A very scarce piece in primo condition.
1629.S.T.Taylor 816 B'way New York. Folding tailor's square resembling a boxwood framing square, in first-class condition save a small chip at one corner near the hinge. An interesting piece.
1372.Keuffel and Esser 50' (at least -- haven't unreeled it) cloth measuring tape in pressed leather case. These are still valued b by theatrical trades for hanging scenery. Ask for details.
1120.K&E 4092-3 slide rule; ivory on hardwood. In overall excellent condition, as is the box, which shows some wear at corners but is otherwise fine. One small owner's mark on rule.
1009.Miniature nippers. Never seen anything like these -- they're just like a set of carpenter's nail-nippers except they're only 3 1/2' long. A manufactured item, but by whom?
947.Tinner's bench shears. Biggest tinsnips you ever saw. Somebody has painted the jaws an attractive red for safety.
897.Pincer/nipper/puller with a claw in one handle, probably an it was made for, but would make a good upholsterer's tool. Nice and clean
840.Oak tool box. Exterior dimensions 32'L x 6 3/4' H x 12' D. Dovetailed carcase w/nice ply panels for top and bottom, one sliding tray. Ask for more details -- a good on-site box.
815.Stanley #666 (Millard's Patent) rotary viking cutter. New in box and complete with depth stops and shot-pin dual gearing system. Possibly an early license related to 1923 buyout of North Bros.
656.Strange wing caliper. Outside type, graduated in cm. Tips are rounded and the whole thing's nickel-plated though the nickel is in trouble. Opens to 10', I think it's medical.
634.Brass hand-forged double caliper, 16' overall. Gracefully shaped and well-made. Very nice.
593.Slitting gauge. Well-made, possibly manufactured but I doubt it. Beech, I think.Wedge-arm arrangement on fence, approx. 10' reach. Nice for you marquetry fans and veneer-heads.
435.Boston Inst. Mfg. Co. vet's syringe. Useful for gluing, or maybe sedating rock-eating hounds of one kind or another
355.Giant Grip #2 who-knows-what. Marked ' 7/16 and 1/2', appears to be some kind of staple-puller, perhaps for fencing work as it was found with a bunch of farm implement wrenches. 100% japan.
3352.Union Hardware Co., Torrington, Ct. Cyclops patented nail puller with fulcrum handle. 70% original paint. This is the longer, more graceful model.
4194.Stanley #239 blind-wiring dado plane, 3/16' variety with fence. Depth stop is a homebrew replacement. Japan 90% with usual toolbox-chipping on handle. For all your baseboard-wiring needs.
4188.Stanley #6 fore plane. Type 18, but appears to use heavier Type 17 casting. 70% japan; hardwood knob and tote have little finish left. Sort of an ugly baby but the heavier casting would make this one nice for leveling tabletops and other such work.
4187.Unmarked bronze bullnose plane, 3' long by 1+' wide, about the size of a Stanley 90. Probably a patternmaker's creation, and a nice one, with a very tight mouth. Wedge (appears to be beech) has a ding from being tapped. A really nice user.
4182.Stanley #9-1/4 block plane, 40's vintage, in original box. Finishes near-fine, but plane could use a cleaning. Good serviceable user.
4180.Stanley #75 bullnose rabbet plane, in original box. Plane is near-fine, with excellent japan and little use. Box got stepped on at some point -- one corner's broken out and it's scuffed.
4177.Stanley RB-10 newfangled rabbet plane. The successor to the #10 jack rabbet, these are made in the UK, and are practically impossible to describe. A space-age #10 with plastic handles that are actually comfortable, lots of adjustments, a fence, and a replaceable cutter that's still available (in the UK at least -- haven't tried here). If Leonard Lee had made this tool everybody would be falling all over themselves to buy one.
4174.Stanley #9-1/2 adjustable-mouth block plane. Type 22 (1952-55).Japan is excellent, and overall this one is way above average in condition.
4172.Stanley #82 all-purpose scraper. Most often you find these beat to hell, painted orange, and covered in substances you'd rather not identify. This one is a happy exception to the rule -- well kept, patinated, cutter with SW mark in great condition, lots of japan where there's supposed to be japan. These make good all-round scrapers for glue, paint, etc.
4165.Miller's Falls #11 junior jack plane, the equivalent of the Stanley 5-1/4. Hardwood handles in excellent condition; some light storage rust should clean; japan in bed is near 100% and lever cap finish is intact. This is an uncommon MF plane that was not in production for long
4144.Stanley #9-1/2 block plane. Type 5. This very early block plane is in excellent condition, with only the usual wear to the japan at the heel of the lever cap. A very pretty older example.
4135.Stanley #113 circular plane. Wartime vintage, with plastic knob. This must have been among the last of these made, because production ceased in 1942. Finishes are in overall good shape with 95% of japan and 90% nickel on cap; no signs of undue flexing or cracking on the sole. A good worker.
4134.Stanley g12-020 block plane is apparently the latest greatest 9-1/2, very nice and heavy with an adjustable mouth; this one's been used only a very little and is in near-new condition
4123.Stanley #5 jack plane. Type 17. In overall great shape with the usual wear to the finishes on the handles. This type has an extra-heavy casting that some prefer because it sits down well on the work, and this would be a great jack plane for rougher work like initial leveling of stock.
4122.Stanley #4 smoother from the hideous maroon-paint period. The maroon paint goes so nicely with the yellow background of the lever-cap logo and the remarkably uncomfortable hardwood handles. Here's the thing: All this stuff is in great shape and this butt-ugly tool looks like it just came from the hardware store. Why, oh why, couldn't it have been from the Sweetheart era? Nevertheless, it's a plane and you can make shavings with it. Get it out of here, soon, please.

4119.Stanley #12-1/2 rosewood-soled scraper plane. Later type. Cutter is a correct -- and very beefy -- replacement, not done by me. Japan 90%. Some chipping of the sole at the corners of the mouth; looks as though it may have been deliberately opened up, though I can't imagine why.
4118.Stanley #7 jointer plane. Roughly Type 5, but with some Type 4 and Type 6 attributes, proving once again that type studies sometimes confuse as much as they illuminate. Iron is a Stanley replacement from the notched-rectangle era. Rosewood is excellent; japan is dull but about 80%; nice patina. Good older user.
4111.Stanley #71 open-throat router plane. Odd mutt of a frankenplane has the original 1/2' iron, a collar that's obviously from another router, and is missing fence, depth stop and 2 cutters. Black japan finish on the plane; thick eminently chippable late 40's lacquer on the knobs. Functional but not beautiful, kinda like the seller.
4109.Stanley #71-1/2 router plane. Type 4 (1911-1924). Only has 1/2' cutter; wood is impeccable, but finishes are dull. Should make a nice user.
4099.Stanley H1205 Handyman jack plane. Near new and appears not to have been used much, if at all. Has the usual plastic knob and tote. Would make a good user for someone with occasional needs, or a starter for someone getting into the hobby.
4097.Stanley #220 block plane, Type 1, with rounded logo, rosewood knob, and 5-hole adjustment wheel. 90% japan, knob has crack near base that does not appear life-threatening. You wouldn't think of a 220 as being interesting to have around, or at least I wouldn't, but this one has more appeal than most because of its graphic appearance and its age.
4094.Stanley #3 smoothing plane. Type 16. You could not hope for a cleaner example than this.
4092.Union #43 duplex rabbet plane, a Stanley #78 lookalike, with all parts, finishes 90%. Will make a good worker.
4066.Stanley #66 beader, early japanned type with one reeding cutter and straight fence. Replacement cutters are easily bought or made; one of the joys of this tool is that custom sticking cutters are easy to fabricate. Excellent working tool.
4064.Lie-Nielsen infill shoulder plane, 5-1/2' long with 1/2' blade, rosewood-stuffed bronze. Elegant item for super accurate trimming of tenon shoulders, dados, and rabbets.
4044.Stanley #8C jointer plane. Type 11. Excellent wood; 60% japan in bed is much better than it sounds. Cutter is short, with about 1.25' left, but it'll take you a decade or more to use that up. Solid user.
4037.Record #076 bullnose rabbet plane, 1' wide. Beefy little devil. This one's in excellent shape.
4030.Stanley #55 behemoth-scale combination plane, a planing mill in itself, as Stanley would have said, and a pain in the ass to set up, as I would have said, but nevertheless very useful when you need to cut 6' of some oddball molding profile and don't want to pay for a custom router bit. After all, what's your time worth? Anyway, this is a good 'un, and you should buy it. Complete and correct, with all cutters and other parts.
4001.Stanley 101 miniature block plane. Unmarked, but many were, and this looks like Stanley manufacture. Japan near 100% save for toolbox nicks and chips. A nice little plane for detail work; useful to instrument makers and others with small areas to shave.
3992.Stanley #103 block plane. Type 2, post 1888, with unique Stanley Rule and Level trademark on cutter. Japan 90%. Nice, older 103
3990.Lie-Nielsen No 5. iron bench plane similar to a Bedrock 605. Very lightly used and in excellent condition.
3988.Stanley #71-1/2 router plane. Early Type 12 with rosewood knobs. Has 1/4 and 1/2 cutters; no spearpoint or fence. Japan near 100%
3987.Stanley #45 combination plane. Type 9. Wood excellent, nickel mostly so with some wear on thumbscrews and skate. All cutters that belong with this type are present and correct, save that the original 5/8' plow cutter has been reground to a weird sash-like profile so I've thrown in one from the parts pile. Otherwise complete, but no screwdriver or instructions, and lid on the wooden box may not be original (but appears to be Stanley-made).
3983.Stanley #4 smooth plane, perhaps once owned by Jackson Pollack. Type 18.Near-100% japan in bed; paint on hardwood handles has some wear but the main thing is that the tote has more paint drips than I have ever seen on anything. A little hard to understand how this could happen, especially since the rest of it is pretty unblemished.
3982.Stanley #12 scraper plane, with toothing cutter for veneering. Plane looks suspiciously like a repaint job, wood is excellent.
3981.Stanley 5C corrugated jack, Type 12, japan 95% in bed, wood good save for a chunk out of the top of the tote, very dispiriting, especially since the grain pattern in the rosewood tote is especially nice.
3973.Ward's Master. #78 type duplex rabbet plane pretty clearly is a Stanley 78 of the earlier, no-adjuster type. Finishes near 100%. Good plane, cheap.
3967.Worth. #3-sized 'smooth' plane. OK, folks, there is absolutely nothing to like about this plane. Repainted, hardwood handles, mouth big enough to fly a twin-engine Otter through. Could be rehabbed into a scrub plane, if you don't mind the other kids laughing.

3962.Wards Master. #5 jack plane is almost certainly a Stanley with a branded lever cap and iron; certainly works as well as the Stanley would. Wood excellent, 95% japan in bed; lever cap finish in above-average condition too. Good user.
3942.Stanley #83 rolling cabinet scraper, with original roller. Blade is almost certainly a replacement. Wood is excellent as is the japanning -- which is strange, because I can't find any mention of these with anything other than a nickel-plated finish. Nevertheless, here it is, and the japanning appears original.
3938.Stanley #60 low-angle block plane with adjustable throat. Fairly recent model with the notched-rectangle logo. Nickel dull, but japan is excellent and plane is overall in way-above-average shape.
3937.Stanley #5 jack plane. Type 4 (prelateral) with cool L Bailey's patent mark on cap iron; japan not great at around 80%; original tote has tight crack that's been nicely repaired.
3931.Stanley #15-1/2 squirrel-tail block plane. Type 8 (pre-lateral, pre-eccentric). Wood excellent with a couple of microchips on the knob beading; japan 95% in bed and all parts of lever cap except for the usual wear where the hand rests. No mouth chips or other apologies of that kind.
3907.Fore plane. #6-sized plane has iron marked by the Marshall-Wells Hardware Company, and is otherwise free of identifying information. Low-knob; finishes in very good shape. Good user
3874.Miller's Falls #9 smoother in near-fine condition with ring nicks on knob and tote the only detraction. A very pretty plane.
3867.Stanley #220 block plane. Everybody's favorite tools for shortening doors, levelling concrete, and doing other stuff too rough to do with your *good* block plane. This one's a 1960's vintage with a thoughtfully-provided hang hole
3865.Stanley #81 scraper. Rosewood sole. Nickel on this one is worn and dull. Original cutter; good user
3864.#3 smoother marked 'Made in USA'. Not one clue as to who made this; a decent job, basically, castings are good and the knob and tote are OK; stamped-metal lateral adjuster no worse than later Stanley stuff, and so on. OK bargain user
3847.Kunz #112 scraper plane, knockoff of the Stanley with the same number, hideous green with red plastic knob and tote, rumored not to work all that well, what could be better?
3845.Stanley block plane, English make. Looks like a very newfangled 220 but no number marked. As-new condition, good for trimming doors 'n'stuff.
3843.Stanley #64 butcher-block plane. 1 very small mouth chip. 50% japan. Original tote has typical break near base. Needs a good cleaning. Like most of these that saw any use at all, the finishes are shot and it needs a cleaning. Still, where are you going to find another?
3807.Stanley #5 jack plane. Type 17 (wartime) model with heavy casting, which some prefer for its weight. Looks like it's been repainted; finishes on knob and tote are original and in very good shape. Will make a nice user
3803.Record #73 shoulder plane. Best of the modern English shoulder planes, and no longer made. This one's in excellent shape, and comes with a wooden box with sliding lid.
3799.Unmarked infill panel plane. 14' long with a 2-1/2' cutter. Appears cast rather than dovetailed. Infill is rosewood. Front knob has been broken and repaired with a countersunk screw. Excellent user at a good price.
3787.Stanley #193A fiber board beveling plane. As new. Saying you've got an 'as new' fiberboard beveler is a little bit like saying that you've got an 'as new' case of Ebola, but if you are looking for one of these, this is definitely the one to have, complete with all the gizmos for beveling your fiberboard circularly, in shiplap patterns, etc. A tool that ineluctably prompts the question, 'Why?'.
3786.Stanley #48 tongue and groove plane with swinging fence. Type 1 (japanned) model. Japan near 100% and front knob in excellent shape. A fine example.
3785.Stanley #140 skew rabbeting block plane. Near-fine condition with near 100% japan and nickel on lever cap. Iron is perhaps a little short.
3784.Baron London. Steel-cased miter plane. 12' overall; cutter is 2-1/4' wide. Ward iron. Casting has crack in right cheek; some pitting, and minor chips at rear of mouth that may be artifacts of manufacture. Bargain priced.
3767.Stanley #93 cabinetmaker's shoulder plane. 75% japan with most of the wear, predictably, at the back where the user gripped it. Don't know how closely the logos on the adjusters for these track the bench-plane type studies, but a good guess at the date of manufacture would be 1907-9. Lots of the cutter left; only apology is a micro-miniature rounding of one corner at the rear of the mouth, which should make no difference to anything. This one will make a very nice worker.
3766.Stanley #90 bullnose rabbet plane. 90% nickel, but it's dull. No chips or dings around the mouth, cutter in excellent shape. Well-used and used well, this is a good worker.
3714.Stanley #51/52 chute board and plane. All present and correct; wing nut on hold down foot (and probably the bolt,too) is a replacement. In excellent overall condition including finishes, patina, etc. Hard to find a better one.
3691.Stanley #4C corrugated smoother. Here's a plane with a series of conscientious owners. It started life as a Type 7, was upgraded to a high front knob sometime around Type 12, and got a new handle, iron, and lever cap around the type 16 era. Doesn't look like a dealer-assembled Frankenplane -- just one that was used and repaired over many years. Wood is in good shape and so's the plane.
3690.Stanley #4 smoothing plane. Type 16. Wood very good, with some scaling of the tote varnish as is typical for this vintage. Japan 90%. Iron has a type BB mark with a patent number. Next to no nickel on lever cap. Good user.
3673.Fulton block plane similar to Stanley #102. With original decal; finishes are excellent.
3669.Stanley Made In England. #4 smoothing plane, new in the box. Don't think it was ever used.
3668.Dunlap block plane, no doubt a stealth version of the Stanley #220, useful for planing doors and wedging them open, finishes in excellent shape. Front knob has a crack -- can't tell if it's been glued or not.
3666.Craftsman #5 jack plane. Don't laugh, but if there were collectors for this stuff this'd be the one they'd want. Excellent wood and finishes, and a nearly intact decal on the toe.
3665.Mohawk-Shelburne block plane not unlike a Stanley 102, but with a jaunty red lever cap. This was Miller's Falls second line. You have no possible valid reason to want to use or own this tool, but who am I to stand in your way?
3664.Craftsman #5255 adjustable-mouth block plane is no doubt a Stanley 9-1/2. Has a Stanley cutter. Somebody did a good BBQ black job on it.
3661.Wards Master #5 jack plane, or so it says, but my money's on it being a wartime Stanley with the heavy casting. Wood excellent, as is the japan, but some yoyo not only put a hang hole in the heel, they carefully drilled it off center so as to avoid any annoying perpendicularity with the thing was hung up. Should only be photographed when hung up.
3621.Stanley #6 fore plane. Type 11, but with a replaced lever cap from the notched-rectangle, pre-kidney hole era. Chip out of left front of side rail, as happens when you drop these, and a repaired crack near the base of the tote, as happens when you use these. Nothing to impede the function of this plane -- it'll work fine.
3619.Stanley #99 side rabbet. Type 4. Depth stop is missing, but OTOH these didn't *have* depth stops for a few decades. Little nickel.

Good (missing stop)

3618.Stanley #98 side rabbet. Type 2, with graphic v-logo. The handle has been brazed back on this one, and it's a nice job. Little if any nickel remains.
3616.Sargent #418 fore plane, #6-a-like. This one has the horn busted off the tote. These are useful for flattening, and as a more portable jointer.
3606.Wilbert Dohmeyer. The New Butt Mortise Plane. This looks like the model on which the Lie-Nielsen door plane was made. It has no patent marks, and appears to have been the product of a very small business in Crete, Illinois (it proclaims itself 'made by a carpenter for carpenters'. At a guess I'd say made in the 1950's. I've got it in the original box in which it was mailed, with the instruction sheet. Looks largely unused. An extremely rare bit of tool Americana with a dash of little-guy entrepreneurship.
3597.Merit Tools. #4-sized smoother. Japan swell. Stained hardwood knob and tote in excellent condition. Fess up. You want to own this tool. Better still, MJD has a birthday coming up.....
3565.Stanley Victor #1104 #4 sized smoothing plane. Very good condition with only minor dings to finishes.
3556.Stanley #5C jack plane, Type 18 more or less. Sole pitted in spots; tote and knob intact but restained. Lever cap nickel about 70%. Will make an OK user.
3552.Ward's Master duplex rabbet plane, pretty obviously a Stanley #78 in stealth mode, all the more stealthy because somebody painted it black. Complete with fence and depth stop, will make a fine user at a good price.
3535.Craftsman knuckle-joint adjustable mouth block plane, in reality a Sargent 5306, not in the best of condition but still a good user.
3534.Stanley #282 handled scraper. SW mark. No paint or other finish; cutter appears original.
3525.Unmarked swing-fence match plane similar to a Stanley #48; centers on 3/4' stock. Don't think this was ever plated. Might well be a patternmaker's copy, but if so it's a very well-done one. No cutters.
3507.Stanley #4 frankenplane. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what was done to this thing, but here are the major features: Type 9 body, lever cap, and front knob, actually in very good shape with almost all original japan. Tote is much newer stained hardwood. Cutter is probably original, only because it would have taken that long to wear it as short as it is. Bottom line: rehandled type 9, and not a bad user for all that it's a mutt.
3495.Sargent #418 fore plane. Sargent's answer to the #6. Undistinguished hardwood knob and tote with worn finishes. Japan 85%. Sole could use a little flattening as there are some light pits. Will reward effort.
3494.Stanley #6C corrugated fore plane. Early Type 13 -- does not have notched logo on cap. Rosewood tote and high knob in good shape; japan 90%. Cutter a replacement, I think, and a little short. Good user.
3482.Stanley #5C jack plane. Type 16, but may be some later parts. Wood intact but finishes are worn; nickel on lever cap is beginning to flake; japanning is excellent, surprisingly. Will tune up nicely.
3481.Stanley Handyman smoother (#4 size) in ho-hum condition -- worn finishes on handle and knob, light storage rust, wood intact and cutter in good condition. Uninspiring but useful
3477.Sargent #424 jointer plane, similar to Stanley #8. 70% japan. Tote has been reglued. Will make a good user at significantly lower price than the Stanley.
3476.Stanley #5 jack plane. Early 60's type. Front knob chipped around the base. The whole thing's been 'improved' with BBQ Black, and the lever cap looks wrong. Woo-hoo!
3474.Stanley Handyman jack plane. Canadian made. In good user condition; some wear to finishes on tote and knob. Good heavy casting. Bargain user.
3469.Stanley #192 1' rabbet plane. Missing depth stop. It's been repainted, but is in good condition. A depth stop from a #78 will fit.
3331.Stanley #78 duplex rabbet plane in excellent condition. Later type with adjustment lever; complete and correct. Japan 110% ; very good example.
3298.Stanley #192 1' rabbet plane, complete with depth stop and nicker, 85% japan, lots of cutter left, will work well.
3295.Miller's Falls 1455B low-angle block plane similar to a #61; not much japan on lever cap; good user that appears to be of 1960's manufacture.
3251.Stanley #80 scraper. No major wear to japan but lots of little scratches from use (technically 90%). No mark or date on blade lock. Good user.
3207.AE Bennett Specialty Company. Scraper, similar in design to Van Dike and Starrett or Stanley #82. Unusual maker; finishes good but more of a curiosity than a user.
3183.Stanley 5-1/4 junior jack plane. Type 16. Needs a cleaning; lever cap nickel a little rusty; wood excellent but finishes nicked as they often are with this type.
3172.Craftsman #78 equivalent, with box and instructions, from the Craftsman red-and-grey period, nicker betrays this thing's origin at the Sargent plant. Complete; finishes very good.
3140.Stanley #5C jack plane. Type 16. Wood good. Finishes worn; japan dull but nearly all there; nickel gone from lever cap. Undistinguished in appearance but a good user.
3139.Stanley #4C smoother on front knob; nickel on lever cap basicaly gone; 75% japan in bed. Good user.
3131.Stanley #55 combination plane. All cutters are present, but plane is missing center bottom and related parts, cam rest, and depth and beading stops. Bargain priced.

3128.Stanley #6 fore plane. From the Era of Maroon Paint, but still functional for all that. Very clean, practically unused specimen Who says size matters?
3084.Stanley #5 jack plane. Type 6A. 90% japan in bed; tote has hairline crack from old repair and small chip at horn. Nice patina. Nice owner mark on side.
3082.Miller's Falls #17 adjustable mouth block plane. Just like the Stanley 17, an oversized version of the 9-1/2; this one has a Stanley SW blade. Japan 70% with wear at heel as usual.
3071.Stanley #20 1/2 circular plane. Japanned model has 90% of original japanning, otherwise in very nice shape, with no sole pits or bubbling. Best of the circular planes.
3014.Miller's Falls #57 low-angle block plane. Near new in box. Box is scuffed, plane has some small tarnish and rust spots from poor storage, but is very, very nice.
3010.Chaplin's Patent #205 smoothing plane. Small, smooth chip out of horn on the tote; lever cap finish is dull. Japanning and front knob excellent.
2964.Stanley #80 scraper; definitely a repaint job; holes neatly drilled for addition of a sole. Good user and much better than it sounds.
2956.Stanley #82 scraper. How the hell do people lose the cutters from these? Anyway, this one's otherwise in excellent shape, ready for a piece of saw blade or whatever.
2951.Siegley Stanley (SSS) #5-size jack plane. Wood excellent, japan 75%. A good example
2948.Chaplin's Patent #5-size plane. Unusually, tote and knob are in good shape though the nickel on the cap is mostly gone Japan 85%, nice patina.
2921.Stanley #220 block plane, new-ish with the box. Definitely used, as there are a couple of nicks in the blade, but no other damage. Box waterstained. Good user or junior galoot tool. 60's vintage.
2906.Stanley #5 jack plane. Type 11. Horn off the tote, and a crack in the usual place. Japan 65% in bed. Rough, but can be made into a decent user.
2905.Stanley #605C Bedrock jack plane. Type 3. Wood excellent; japan in bed did not fare so well at about 65%; iron is short. This is a plane that's seen some use, but could see a lot more.
2903.Stanley #606 Bedrock try plane. Type 3 (round side). Tote is missing tip; wood otherwise good; 75% japan in bed. Needs a good cleaning but is basically well-kept, and will make a good user.

2843.Stanley #4C smoother. Type 9. Wood is excellent but the japanning has been, um, enhanced. Still, not a bad art project to own if you want a user.
2807.The Dike Van Mfg. Company, Bridgeport, Conn. Excellent scraper similar in principle to a Stanley 82, but much beefier, with a gimballed head and superior blade-holding arrangement. Swell.
2781.Unmarked router plane about half the size of a #71. Likely made by a patternmaker, but good enough to be manufactured. Marked w/ blue paint; overall condition is great. Cast iron.
2770.Siegley #6 try plane. Chip out of the side of the tote horn; wood otherwise excellent, as is japan. Later model does not have number cast in lever cap.
2768.Siegley #7 jointer.Front knob excellent; tote worn from use but no chips or bangs; all parts proper. Japan is oddly worn but not a rework.
2753.Ohio Tool Co. O40 scrub plane. A #40 knockoff; this one actually has a Stanley cutter. In very nice condition (these tend to get banged around a lot); 85% japan and wood exc.
2727.Steel-cased rabbet plane on the pattern of the Stanley #80, but this one has a cutter-holding mechanism that looks English.Could be craftsman-made and if so, an excellent job. Unusual.
2663.Stanley #5C jack plane. Type . Pretty obviously a repaint job but a nice one for all that, with wood intact and nice.
2661.Stanley #4 smoother. Type 16. Excellent wood and all finishes intact. A newer plane but an excellent one. left side of the casting. Still usable.
2615.Stanley #130 dual block plane. From 1899 or thereabouts; iron has 18/19 study type S mark. 85% japan, much better than average. Looks like front knob was replaced.
2589.Stanley #4 smoother. Type 11. Tight repaired crack in tote; chip from lever cap where it was used as a screwdriver. Japan 80% or more. V-logo on iron.
2557.Stanley #65 low-angle block plane. Late model with non-knuckle- joint stippled cap. Mouth has one micro-ding, no cracks, japan 75%; mechanically sound. Good user.
2534.Stanley #82 scraper in a special safety model, painted orange at the factory. Never seen this before, but handle and knob are painted dayglo orange. SW blade; japan on cap and shank 100%.
2531.Stanley #5C jack plane. Tote's been shaved at the top and has a tight repair crack in the usual spot; front knob OK, looks like a repaint job elsewhere. OK user though.
2525.Shoulder plane. Neat, craftsman made metal shoulder plane with very heavy casting and unique wedge-retention design. 1-3/8' wide; very tight mouth. Looks like a champ.
2350.The Sennett Mfg Co. Buffalo NY. Scraper with a long handle similar to the #82, but with a gimbal which locks when handle is twisted, and a spokeshave-type blade holding arrangement. Nice.
2322.Miller's Falls #45 block plane. Similar to the Stanley #9. This Japan is minimal from ordinary wear. Front knob has shattered as usual but was reglued nicely. Good user
2313.Sargent #708C Auto-Set smooth plane. Obvious repair to tote and one has 80% japan and an obvious repair to the tote; wood is good but worn from use o/w.
2312.Another home-made router plane, this one a kind of knockoff 71 1/2 with a trapezoidal base. Marked F.W. Rauscher, this is a good example of a patternmaker gone mad.
2292.Been wondering what to get Pat Leach for his birthday? This #4 Shelton is just the ticket, with really scuzzy maple knob and tote as well as the worst adjuster idea in rhykenological history
2289.Stanley #70 box scraper with SW blade, near 100% japan and handle with normal wear from use.
2220.Stanley Handyman #5 jack plane equivalent. Followed me home in a box lot, but it's not a bad plane for the first-time or casual user. Wood good, some (cleanable) rust in bed.
2171.Stanley #190 1-1/2' metallic rabbet plane. Depth stop screw is a replacement; japan about 95%. Nice condition for one of these.
2137.Stanley #4 smoother. Extra-crispy type 19 with nearly all finish intact and very good wood. A newer plane but a very nice one.
2109.Stanley #81 scraper. Original V-logo blade; rosewood sole is in excellent shape without scratches or chips. Nickel 65% on handles and better elsewhere as is usual.
1995.Prutton #4 smoother. A serviceable Stanley lookalike from an obscure Cleveland manufacturer. Wood is good, as is japan. An oddball.
1993.Mound City #4 smoother. Not much is known about this company; the cast parts resemble an early (pre-type-8) Stanley. Paint spots on wood will clean; o/w good+.
1980.Bridge Tool Co. #5C equivalent. Wood is good though front knob finish is worn; japan in bed is about 80%. Looks like this one has seen some use. For St. Louis aficianados.
1967.Stanley #5 jack plane. Type 17 (wartime model). Wood is in good shape with only minor knocks to the edges of the tote; japan in bed is 90% or better. Good user.
1951.Stanley #4 smoother. Type 17 (wartime model). Finishes on knob and tote are well-worn from use; japan on frog and in bed is very good. A good user.
1903.Stanley #3 smoother. Type 17 (wartime) model. This one is pretty definitely a repaint but the wood is in great shape and overall the plane looks very, very nice.
1896.Stanley #81 scraper in average condition; 80% nickel with majorit of wear on upper handle surfaces; sole is in good shape.
1894.Stanley #70 box scraper. 85% or more japanning and a nice, clean handle.
1883.Miller's Falls #900 smoothing plane. New in box. Box has one corner split out, and plane has a little light storage rust but has never been used. Intact decal.
1879.No-name Stanley #48 equivalent swing-fence match plane. Nickel good as is front knob. Something of a puzzler, too, as there is nothing to identify a maker.
1861.Sargent #306 block plane with old-style lever cap and adjustable mouth. Very little japan, but in good usable shape.
1842.Stanley #65 Type 1 low-angle block plane. This first model does not have an adjustable mouth and is a collector rather than a user plane.
1816.Stanley #5C jack plane. Type 19. Usual scaling of thick varnish and some microchipping at the horn of the tote, but japan and lever-cap nickel almost completely intact.
1801.Stanley #130 double-ended block plane. Japan is off the cap but fine in the bed. Nice patina.
1790.Stanley #45. Type 7, in finger-jointed wooden box without labels. All parts are present except for the slitter (but the depth stop is there)
1745.Stanley #80 cabinet scraper. V-logo on blade holder. Finishes about 60% and blade is a weird but functional replacement.
1743.Stanley #60 late-model low-angle block with attractive maroon paint. Finish mostly present except for wear on the cap as usual
1643.Stanley #113 circular plane. Rare type 8A. Japan 95+%; sole needs to have light storage rust removed. Major detraction is that someone painted it red in the throat;cap nickel mostly gone
1627.Stanley #5 jack plane. Type 17 (wartime model). Wood is in exc. condition though paint is largely worn off tote; japan is 85% or better. Good user.
1625.Stanley A6 aluminum fore plane. God's gift to planes in the rare but unpopular aluminum model. Scratches on sole from use but alum.body is in great shape; wood good; no nickel on proper cap.
1617.Sargent & Co. #106 block plane with early T-shaped screw on lever cap. A very early offering from Stanley's main competitor. 65% j japan overall with little of that on the sides.
1607.Stanley #4 smoother. Probably a wartime type, but tote has been replaced with one of those flat-sided jobs. Tote and knob in good shape,as is japan and nickel. Will make a nice user.
1529.Stanley #5C jack plane. Type 13. Wood excellent. Japan 80% or more. An excellent user.
1520.Stanley #4 smoother. Type 19. Wood excellent with only minor dings to the finishes; japan near 100%; bright nickel on lever cap has only a few flaws. A swell newer plane.
1511.Stanley #4C smoother. Type 19. Wood intact, varnish has worn in blotchy pattern typical of this type; 85% japanning. Nickel on lever cap is dull. Good user.
1444.Stanley #4 smoother. Type 13. With 50% japan or less in the bed, but excellent, figured wood, this one's a candidate for japan-in- a-drum. Good user.
1426.Stanley #4 smoother. Type 16. 90+% japan; wood excellent. Knob was replaced with a low knob; go figure....
1346.Stanley #80 cabinet scraper. No blade with this one but several folks'll fight for the privilege of selling you one. 71.372% japan and V-logo on strap.
1297.Stanley #8 jointer. is good except for chip at base of front knob. Nickel on lever cap is mostly gone.
1111.Stanley #8C jointer. Type with a notched-logo type. Chip out of horn of tote. 85% japan. A much nicer tool than it sounds.
1096.Stanley #4 smoother. Type 19 with stained (not painted) knobs. Wood and japan are good on this newer plane; some spots on the nickel on the lever cap.
994.Stanley #4 smoother. Type 19. 99% japanning and wood very good, with some crazing on the varnish on the tote per usual. A very nice, newer plane.
988.Stanley #4C smoother. Type 19. In overall very good shape, japan and nickel are 90% or more; tote has small chip off top and thick varnish is crazed as is usual for this type.
771.Unmarked #80-style scraper plane. The thumbscrews appear early and look like some on Sargent planes, but Stearns is a more likely. A plane and a puzzle, both.
680.Stanley #4C smoother Tight crack in tote has been repaired and plane is definitely re- japanned. Nice-looking user.
678.Stanley #4C smoother. Type 19. Japanning is intact, nickel on lever cap is good, and finishes on the wood aren't bad. Nice newer plane.
618.Bridge Tool Co. St. Louis #5C jack plane Bridge Tool was a second line of the Shapleigh Hardware Company of St. Louis (later owners of the Keen Kutter line).
554.Stanley 60 1/2 low-angle block plane. Late (blue) model, but no shame in that. on heel of cap, o/w good+
231.Stanley #5 1/2 jack plane
153.Stanley #60 1/2 block plane Low- angle with 1-3/8' cutter
122.Stanley #4C smoothing plane Type 19 from 1949 with characteristic thick varnish on rosewood handles.
72.Stanley 71 router plane Type 6 with 1/2' cutter only. Knobs slightly beat through use.
3781.Stanley #29 fore plane. 75% japan; horn of tote off, but smoothed (very possibly a deliberate modification for a larger hand). Usual wear at front corners.
3770.Sargent #3426 transitional jointer.26' long. Japan 75%; excellent patina. Owner rounded off the horn of the tote; this was either to smooth over a chip, or (I think more likely) to adapt a small tote to a larger hand.
3758.Stanley #27-1/2 transitional plane with Bailey adjustment. Type 16 (pre-1935). Japan perfect everywhere except on lever cap lever; finishes excellent; small sliver off tote; couple of dings to sole and toe typical for one that got used at all. Very nice condition overall, on a plane that isn't all that common.
3193.Gage 10' transitional type smoothing plane. Tote has been replaced; nickel not all that great; wood otherwise ok as is japanning and front knob
2389.Stanley #33 Type 6 28' prelateral transitional jointer. Extra clean and crisp. Tip is not on the tote, but may have been deliberately removed; owner smoothed the spot. Very, very nice.
2359.Stanley #26 transitional smooth plane. Type 6, but has beaded front knob found on earlier types. Japan excellent and finish in very good; some paint, but will clean. Sole scratched as is usual
4169.A Mathieson and Sons Glasgow Edinburgh. 3/4' single-boxed side bead. This unusually large side bead has a lot of character -- it's a nice dark-honey color-- and is in excellent working condition. A nice-looking plane.
4164.A. Mathieson and Son, Glasgow. 1/2' fenced quarter-round plane. Scuffed decal on the side -- plane is clean with a little mushroom on the wedge and some hammer-dings in the heel -- clearly the owner was a little ham-handed, but it's in better than average overall condition.
4160.Auburn Tool Co. #155 quarter-round plane, 1/2'. Unusual small-sized quarter-round plane in very clean and crisp condition.
4133.Auburn Tool Co. 1/2' handled boxed bead plane. Chip out of the boxing at the toe and some toolbox dings. Very unusual plane indeed.
4132.Cove plane, approx. 5/8' radius, completely unmarked. Appears craftsman-made and if so it's a really nice job. In overall better than average shape, though it's seen use. A very charismatic tool.
4131.Owasco Tool Co. #155-1/2 7/8' casing molding plane with integral fence. Owasco was Auburn Tool's second line. This one's in excellent crisp condition with nice coloring
4130.Ohio Tool Co. #90 1' single-iron nosing plane. A little dusty but clean and pretty crisp with one or two toolbox dings.
4129.Mathieson and Sons. 1' boxed side bead. Some hammer dings and a chip out of the boxing at toe and heel, hardly surprising when you think about how big this thing is. Unusually large size; good quality tool
4115.Edward Carter, Troy NY. Regulated adjustable sash filletster, double boxed. Plane is darkened but in good shape overall. Great user for all your sash-making needs
4113.DR Barton Rochester. Adjustable regulated sash plane. 'C' mark is not impressive, but this double-boxed plane is. Nice patina and interesting grain pattern; very clean and crisp.
4106.J Kellogg Amherst MS. Grecian ogee with bevel marked 1-1/4'. Single boxed. Plane is in good overall shape with some wear at the toe and evidence of a user-applied fence.
4105.William Ward 549 8 Ave NY *. Coffin smoother. Uncataloged Ward mark similar to one of the two-star marks but with the added symbol found in other marks. Tapered iron with cap iron; plane has toolbox dings and a few hit-a-nail microchips on the toe. Still unusual and good.
4098.M. Copeland Warranted. Handled grooving plane, for cutting 1/4' groove on 1' stock. Nice patina and color, and great condition overall -- too bad its partner is missing.
4091.Horned smoother DIY kit. New old stock beech horned smoother has no iron, but comes with a story. Bought off a bottom shelf of a local hardware store for a quarter sometime in the late 70's, it was owned first by a friend of mine who restores pipe organs, then by me, and neither of us got around to putting an iron in it. Needs the whole linseed-oil treatment and a cutter.
4090.Gladwin & Fenn, Wallingford, CT. Plow plane. Two-star rating in AWP indicates not many of these have been found, and you might wish you hadn't found this one -- it's a real beater, with one arm broken off, an inside nut that's half split off, and a variety of minor incidents of abuse adding up to an unhappy history.
4067.Bensen and Crannell Albany. #18 round plane. Used but not abused; solid worker.
4062.#4 round. Mark is hard to read, but might be a Chapin or Union Factory. Well-kept, nicely patinated round will make a good worker.
4061.Owasco Tool Co. New York. #2 round plane. Well-kept and nicely patinated; unusual narrow size.
4060.H. Hills Springfield MS. 9/16' round plane. Wedge is a replacement, but the plane is sound and usable.
4059.Hollow plane. Now here's something you don't see every day: a hollow plane that has been owner-modified so that it's more or less fully boxed. Can't tell if this was a manufactured plane originally or if (more likely) it was somebody's good idea. Cuts about a 7/8' arc and may have been meant for nosing. A curiosity.
4058.Unmarked #2 hollow. Craftsman-made plane is well done; looks like somebody altered the mouth subsequently. Nice narrow size, good condition
4057.W. Parkes Warranted. Very narrow hollow plane -- unnumbered, but cuts a 1/4' arc. Birmingham, UK maker was in business for a while -- this looks like an earlier product, though. Dark patina, used but not abused. Good worker in an unusually small size.
4055.Holbrook. #14 hollow, by a British maker located in Bristol. Certainly made before 1849. Well-kept; patina is dark but there is no more than usual wear. Nice older plane
4054.Unmarked #8 hollow, almost certainly Owasco Tool Co. based on appearance and numbering. Clean plane, some wear at the toe, good serviceable user.
4051.Bensen and Crannell, Albany. Round plane, #14 size. Looks new. Clean, crisp and nearly untouched.
4047.Bensen and Crannell, Albany. #16 hollow plane in as-new condition. Clean, crisp, and nearly unused.
4021.Unmarked 7/8 dado plane, well-made, with thumbscrew-type depth stop. Clean and crisp, but rounded part has long since split off the wedge for the main cutter -- quite a while back to judge by how smooth-worn the break is. Will make a good if not super-attractive user.
4010.Auburn Tool Co. #155 quarter-round plane, 1' size, fenced variety. Clean and crisp, slightly darkened but that's not surprising in a plane of this age. A very good user.
4002.Unmarked 7/16' dado plane. Undoubtedly English and of high-quality manufacture -- unusual size. English because manufacturer has stamped 'trenching' on the heel; they also mis-marked it as a 9/16, which the owner helpfully corrected. I checked to see if the owner had also helpfully resized the plane -- it appears not, it's just a labelling mistake. Never mind all that, it's a very nice dado in an unusual size.
3966.S. Rowell Troy. Tonguing plane. One-star 'B' mark. Plane is in good shape physically but the finish is a little weird -- looks like somebody got a bit too much linseed oil on it at some point.
3964.1-1/2' nosing plane, marked Hammacher-Schlemmer on the heel; no doubt made by a major manufacturer. I think it looks like an Auburn, but I'm no expert on wedge shapes. Speaking of which, one wedge has had the rounded portion split off at the top; otherwise, the plane is clean and crisp. Dual-iron type.
3916.C.S.See Warented. 1/2' fully boxed side bead; A1 mark has 3 stars for rarity. Plane is dark and looks worn at the toe. Still, a rare mark from a guy who hadn't yet learned to spell 'Warranted'
3913.1/4' handled tonguing plane for 7/8' stock, mark hard to read but very probably J. Kellogg/Amherst MA. In good shape, too bad the groover isn't with it.
3895.Greenfield Tool Co. Greenfield Mass. 1-1/4', dual-iron nosing plane. Clean and crisp, will make a good user.
3869.H.L. James Williamsburgh Mass.1-3/4 ship-carpenter's or bridgebuilder's rabbet. This one's been around a bit, but will make a good user. Wedge a bit chewed but wood otherwise good and the iron's in good shape.
3863.Scioto Works. Coffin smoother. Extremely undistinguished smoothing plane fails to make an impression on any level. Would burn well, if you took the iron out.
3860.H. Hills Springfield MS. A mark (FF). #18 round plane in very good condition. Nice large round for use.
3858.Eagle Factory Warranted. N. Chapin and Co. 7/8 box bead. Good-sized chip from boxing at toe doesn't affect function (and is not surprising, given the size of this thing). Unusually large size. Plane otherwise better than average condition.
3830.Sandusky Tool Co. #47 box bead plane, 1/2'. Very lightly used. Small chip on underside of sole at front, probably from hitting a tack. Hardware store pricing mark on heel.
3829.DR Barton #6 round. 1882 mark. Clean and crisp, with pencil mark on rear from hardware store. Nice round
3822.C.S. See Warranted. C3 mark (***). 1/4' side bead, fully boxed. Plane is a little dark with routine toolbox wear and one paint spot. Should clean well, though.
3821.Way and Sherman, N. York. B mark. (**) #2 hollow. Mark strike is a little faint at the 'Way' end, but plane is extra clean and crisp, nearly unused, with only a minor water stain on one side and a very small chip each at heel and toe to detract.
3820.M. Crannell Albany. Kind of an oddball smoother, 9-1/2' long but rectangular, not coffin shaped, with a comparatively short toe relative to the heel. Woulda sworn it was cut down from a jack were it not for the mark on the toe and some chamfering. Humphreysville iron
3819.J.Kellogg Amherst, MS. B mark. 1/2' boxed center bead. Clean and crisp and ready to go.
3818.Auburn Tool Co. 1-1/4' dual-iron nosing plane.This one's been around; got some hammer dings on the heel and general toolbox wear, but overall good and sound. I'd hate to push one, though.
3817.Unmarked. 1-3/4' skew rabbet plane. Beech, in very clean condition but the body is developing a couple of checks.
3815.Scioto Works. Coffin smoother marked '3' on the toe. Strike button on heel. Otherwise boring.
3814.J.Conant. Wooden compass plane with James Cam iron. This mark is undocumented, but other Conant marks are three and five-star marks. A rarity
3802.A.Kelly & Co. Ashfield Mass. Two-star mark. Plow plane (unhandled) out of beech, with boxwood nuts and arms and a boxwood strip on the fence. In overall good+ condition with widespread minor chipping to the threads. A nice plane from an unusual maker.
3795.A. Church. 15' wooden jack plane. Five-star mark (A1) by a planemaker from Amherst, MA. Missing wedge and iron. Some light end checks. A very rare mark.
3794.Greenfield Tool Co. Greenfield MS. C mark. BF 30' wooden jointer, with some cracks and checks; looks like it got wet and then dried at some point. Good for ballasting boats, or planing doors and floors. Come to think of it, you could probably *use* it as a boat, if you plugged the mouth.
3779.Badger plane. Unmarked ungodly huge (28' long) variation on a badger plane, rebated on both sides, with provision for a nicker (which, unfortunately, is missing). Minor, shallow end checks, otherwise excellent. Appears to be out of beech. You can raise one hell of a panel with this, assuming you can lift it.
3777.J.S. Kellogg, Amherst, MS. #19 hollow. In clean condition, though it looks like it has a few (inactive) beetle holes in the toe and a sliver off the heel.
3776.C.S. See Warranted. C3 mark. 3/4' single-boxed side bead, some abrasion to wedge,usual ding marks on heel, darkened. Good condition, and a rare-ish mark.
3775.C.S. See Warented (sic) Fully-boxed 5/8' side bead. Three-star mark. Good condition; some minor nicks to the wedge and dimples on the heel; has darkened some.
3772.J. Kellogg/Amherst. MS. 'B' mark. Unbelievably clean, essentially unused quarter-round plane marked '6/8'. As new, with pencilled hardware-store pricing marks on the heel.
3771.J. Kellogg/Amherst MS. B mark (FF). Extra crispy clean #19 hollow and round pair, with hardware-store pencil pricing marks still visible on the heel. Used, but not very much
3765.E. Smith. Mark similar to the C mark in size and lettering, but with serrated border like D and E. Single-iron ship smooth about 10' long. Plane is darkened, and has a split behind the right cheek, oddly enough
3763.Unmarked 'junior jack', craftsman made with 1-1/2' cutter and 14' stock, interesting profile on the tote, with a pinned-wedge-and-thumbscrew blade holding device. Iron marked 'Baldwin Tool Co./Butcher's Cast Steel/Warranted'. Interesting device.
3760.YAWTP (Yet Another Wooden Trying Plane), with a faint mark that might be Owasco Tool, or might not, with a tote that has a chunk out, slightly ragged wedge, etc. Only thing that might give you a tingle is the iron, which is marked 'Mason Bros. Cast Steel', and is unknown to me.
3759.New York Tool Co. #12 trying plane, about 16' long overall. Original 'Thistle Brand' iron. New York Tool was a second brand of the Auburn Tool Co. This plane has beautiful patina and is in overall very good shape save for wear ahead of the mouth. Would work fine as a jack; finer applications would need a remouthing. Nice to look at.
3751.J.Kellogg, Amherst, MS. 5/16' dado. Tombstone-type depth stop. Unusual size. Plane is clean, with nice patina, marked 5/16 on heel.
3748.Esslinger & Abt. Horned smoother with adjustable mouth, lignum sole. Similar to the high-end smoothers made by Ulmia today, but with no depth adjustment provided for the cutter. This is a beautiful piece of work by a German company founded in 1845; plane looks to be turn-of-the-century. Two very small chips from sole at toe (somebody hit the bench stop, I'd say), and a pattern of saw nicks in the top of the horn (apparently an owner's mark). Definitely best-of-breed in the horned smoother world.
3722.Barnard. Quirk ovolo and cove (bilection) plane. Double boxed. This is probably a plane by Thomas Barnard of Birmingham, UK. made between 1808 and 1811. Plane is darkly patinated, in very good overall condition, with some wear to working surfaces
3720.Casey & Co. Auburn NY. Produced sometime in 1857, the only year this company operated in Auburn.
3719.Arrowmammet Works Middletown
3686.Kenewa Tool Co. Wooden smoother. This is a second-line mark from Sargent, two stars. I haven't often seen it. Plane is numbered 608, and will clean to very nice condition with no damage to cheeks and only the usual bangs and dings from use.
3685.Way & Sherman N. York. Two-star mark from Pittsfield planemaker turned NYC hardware pusher. This is a rabbet that's been unskilfully modified into a fenced rabbet by main force, and it ain't a pretty sight.
3684.L&IJ White Buffalo NY. Table hollow numbered 12 on the heel. Unusually wide-open mouth, but I don't think it's been messed with -- may be the result of wear as the plane seems unusually slim from top to bottom. Dark patina, but crisp
3683.Greenfield Tool Co./Owasco Tool Co NY. 16' wooden jack plane, in overall excellent condition save for a split in one cheek where the wedge has been overdriven. The Owasco mark appears to overstrike the Greenfield mark. The Greenfield mark appears to be an incomplete version of the 'D' mark, with the location missing. Given that Greenfield was in financial trouble by the time that Auburn Tool began using the Owasco mark in 1875, and went bankrupt in 1883, presumably with some stock to sell off, there may be a little tool history here.
3682.Hills and Winship Springfield MS. 1' boxed rabbet plane with a one-star mark. Wedge a little fuzzy and the plane has clearly seen use, with some slight wear at the toe to show you what the boxing was for.
3617.W.Hull, Blackstone St., Boston. Three-star maker. Fenced rabbet plane is a modification of a 1' rabbet, but looks better done than most and may be contemporary with the tool.
3605.J. Denison. E mark. Single-boxed 1/2' side bead, marked 4/8. Boxing needs to be tapped back in, right at the mouth (looks like it was pushed down by the cutter at some point). Plane is otherwise in above-average condition with a clean wedge and minimal wear.
3601.GW Denison and Co. Winthrop Conn. Tonguing plane; its grooving partner is nowhere to be found. For 1' stock. Plane is in way better than average condition, but lonely.
3594.Marten Doscher New York. Adjustable, self-regulating sash plane with two irons. Stamped '1 inch 1/4' on the heel. Not boxed. Exceptionally good condition and color on this plane. Minor dings on one of the two wedges are the only problem.
3531.J.T. Brown. Plow plane by Baltimore planemaker; one-star mark. Very clean with minimal thread damage and minor chips on wedge. A nice plow.
3483.Bensen and Crannell, Albany. Wooden jack plane. Buck Bros. iron. Interesting hexagonal strike button. Bad remouthing job.
3455.Unmarked handled skew rabbet, 2'. Handle is offset on side. In very nice shape except for the nicker, which is either shot or badly replaced (some filing would fix this up in a hurry).
3436.Side rabbets. Assembled pair -- Left is J&J Gibson, Albany (one star), right is C. Nurse & Co., London. Found these this way, and thought I'd just as well keep them together. Both in above-average condition; nice and straight. Could not be better users, and cost a good bit less than a matched pair would.
3435.Sandusky Tool Co. #92. 5 hollow planes -- Nos. 1,2,4, 6, & 7. All in good, crisp, shape save #2, which has a gouge out of the sole well ahead of the mouth (should still work fine).
3434.Sandusky Tool Co. #92. Size 4 round. Wedge a little chewed, but will make a good user.
3433.Sandusky Tool Co. #92. Size 5 hollow and round pair. In better-than-average condition, these will make nice users.
3432.Sandusky Tool Co. #92. #8 hollow and round pair. Small chip at mouth of hollow is typical. Some very minor wedge abuse on the round -- a good user pair.
3431.Sandusky Tool Co. Ohio. #9 hollow and round pair. Hollow has small chips at toe and heel. These have been poorly stored but should clean up well.
3429.Woothoudt. Tongue-and-groove pair, at least I think it is -- mark on one is faint. Probably a Dutch maker, by the name. For 1' stock. Overall condition is good on both; a few shallow end checks on the groover.
3426.C.Nurse 32 Mill St. Maidstone. Inset quarter-round marked 5/8.
3423.A.Howland &Co. NY. A2 mark. #20 hollow and round pair. Also stamped Dodge &Watrous, Waukegan, Ill. Very nice condition on this larger pair, with only minor nicks to one of the wedges.
3422.Young & M'Master Auburn N.Y. 7/8' astragal. One-star mark from yet another of the McMaster brothers (Alonzo, this time). Very clean; iron could use a bit of work and there's a minor mouth chip that shouldn't hurt anything.
3421.D.Bensen Albany. 7/8' astragal. B mark. Hard to find one cleaner.
3420.J.Kellogg Amherst Ms. Ogee with bead. B mark. In very nice shape, but with a couple of user 'improvements' -- a nicely done fence, and a copper wear strip. These are easily reversible, however.
3417.Unmarked 1' rabbet. Homemade, but decently so, with a thin wedge characteristic of earlier planes. About 8-1/2' long.
3416.SS Barry N. York. #6 (about) round plane. Mark very faint. Plane itself is in good condition
3414.Unmarked. #12 round plane. Obviously manufactured, maybe to be restamped by a hardware company. Small hole bored into the heel for no discernable purpose. Good user.
3412.DR Barton, Rochester. #14 hollow plane. B mark. Very clean and crisp; a few bumps to the wedge is all.
3408.SS Barry, N.York. Quirk-ogee bead. One-star mark. Boxed. The mice have nibbled happily at the heel of this one; still usable, but it's not a pretty sight. Too bad, too, because it's a nice profile.
3406.Sandusky Tool Co., Ohio. #92, #1-sized round plane. Wedge has some minor nicks and bangs (more character-forming than anything else); body and iron are good.
3405.Lourie. #6 hollow by late 18th-century Edinburgh maker. Very clean and nice.
3403.Marley 40 Elm St. N. York. #2 round plane. Mark is hard to read because of overstamped owner's mark; also, a strange sword-shaped mark on the heel. Two-star mark on a clean, crisp plane dated between 1822-28.
3402.R.Hoey N.York. #4 hollow. One star mark from shortlived operation (1834-6). Type A wedge. Plane is clean and crisp.
3401.Chapin-Stephens Co. Union Factory warranted. 7/8' dado plane. Irons good; plane has some wear and minor wedge-nibbling; needs a cleaning. Solid user.
3399.C. Warren Nashua. B (one-star) mark. Boxed ogee and bevel marked 3/4. Wedge and body of plane in very good condition, with wear to boxing and leading edge of ogee, predictably at toe and heel.
3398.I. Kendall. Early (d. 1801) Bristol planemaker. Ogee with cove, perhaps for cutting sash.Clean and crisp.
3397.Geo. Burnham Jr. Amherst, Mass. Quirk, ogee, bead, marked 1-1/4'. Triple boxed. Finish dark but plane crisp; some insect holes, insects long dead.
3396.Ohio Tool Co. #62-1/2 Roman reverse ogee plane. 1' (so stamped, though what that measurement relates to I've no idea. It's big.) Harmless check in toe;hang hole, otherwise very very good and crisp.
3395.Unmarked skew rabbet plane, 1'. In good shape, and not badly made though the wedge is a bit clumsy in profile.
3391.J.F. and G.M. Lindsey/Warranted. 3/8' dado. Straight, not filed out, some wear but very usable. Water stain. Irons very good.
3389.Unmarked but clearly manufactured fixed sash plane. Looks nearly unused. A nice one.
3388.Unmarked, nicely made sill plane.
3385.Unmarked. Bevel and ogee with bead. Dark patina; small chip at heel. Wedge and iron in good shape. Unusual profile
3383.TJ McMaster & Co. Auburn NY. 1-1/4' plank plane pair.
3381.Auburn Tool Co. No. 108 1/4' double boxed center bead. Excellent condition, with only typical chips from heel of boxing.
3380.Unmarked, early recessed quarter round. 9-3/4', out of some sort of fruitwood, with interesting sorta boxing strip. Nicely chamfered and well done. Very nice patina; a very pretty plane.
3379.Stewart. Matched pair of side rabbet planes. Nice finish and patina; some wear; typical small dings on wedges. Well cared for by at least two former owners.
3364.Stewart (Scottish maker). Pair of side rabbet planes. Some paint spots; wedges have some rough spots but overall good with nice patina and finish.
3351.Rowell and Gibson, Albany NY. Wedge-arm plow plane. Two stars in Pollak. One arm-wedge missing and the other likely replaced; chip out of leading inside edge of fence, unsurprisingly.
3325.Compass smoother. Fairly deep radius; plane has a small check at the cheek from overdriven wedge. Unmarked; iron worn to nothing; this one's seen a lot of use, but can do much more.
3324.Compass smoother. Shallow-radius coffin-shaped wooden plane, unmarked. Samuel Newbould iron has been worn to practically nothing; wood needs a cleaning, but in good condition.
3196.Router plane. Wooden; made by a patternmaker for his own use. Single cutter looks to have been fashioned from a plow iron. A nice example of this sort of thing.
3129.E. Baldwin. 1/4' grooving plane (tongue was nowhere to be seen) Interesting snecked iron. Average condition.
3009.Wooden jack plane. Nicely made, with Butcher iron. Neither maker nor owner's marks are legible.
2860.#18 hollow with illegible mark. In grungy condition but sole and cutter are good, will make a nice user.
2798.L&IJ White, Buffalo NY. 3/8' dado with replaced front wedge and nicker fashioned from a file. Well kept; will make a good user.
2759.S. Rowell Troy. AWP C mark (**). 1-3/8' rabbet plane with idiosyncratic boxed edge; plane is worn and well-hammered on the heel.
2758.Copeland & Co. Warranted. AWP * . 5/8' dado. In good if worn condition but with odd stepped wear pattern ahead of the cutter. Shouldn't affect use.
2687.A Howland & Co. #4 hollow, once modified with an added fence and actually kind of a dog's breakfast, would make a good user for rounding arrises.
2685.A. Howland & Co. NY. 1' single-iron stair nosing plane. I'd hate to push this thing. A little dark but clean and crisp.
2684.A. Howland & Co. NY. #154. Complex molder listed as a 'band moulding' plane'; marked 7/8' on heel. A massive 3' wide; nice patina and very clean; some tap marks on heel
2670.A.Kelly & Co. Ashfield, Mass. AWP *. Pair of fenced plank planes with totes. All threads excellent. Tongue plane is missing iron and has amateurish tote repair-can be redone much better. Crisp.
2668.Toothing plane marked 'L. Winegar', possibly a Barton. 2' wide. Nicely made with a neatly chamfered wedge and a strike button; iron in excellent condition.
2631.Thos. L. Appleton Boston. Tongue plane for 1/2' stock. Unusual to find one for narrow stock like this; in very good condition, too. Pity the mate is not with it.
2623.HL James Wmsburg Mass. Pair of 7/8' handled plank planes. A little darkened, a stain or two, and some micronibbling on the wedges, but a good user pair and more handsome than they sound.
2621.Sargent & Co. #639 wooden dado plane, 7/8' Used and slightly darkened in spots but remarkably clean with only one microding to the wedge. Cutter and nicker clean
2619.R. Barnes. AWP **. Fillet and quirk bead. Boxed. Beautiful color and crisp except for odd worn depressions in the right side at the heel. A nice-looking plane.
2600.Barry & Way. Plank plane (the tonguing half) with wedge-arm fence and iron bearing the Barry & Way mark. Not at all common.
2510.
2454.Randall & Cook Albany. AWP B mark (one star) #16 round plane. Mildly unusual mark on a plane which has been polyurinated. You be the judge.
2451.Greenfield Tool Co. Greenfield Mass. #18 hollow. This one's a veteran, no beauty contest winner but still serviceable.
2450.Geo. Burnham Jr. Amherst Mass. Grecian ovolo with fillet, 1/2'. A bargain user which needs TLC, there's a ding out of the nose on the top, and an applied shim in the fillet to be removed.
2424.H.Wells Northampton Mass. 'A' mark with eagle (three stars). 1/2' side bead; minor chips from boxing at toe and heel, microdings to wedge arrises; darkened slightly from use
2375.William Ward. 549 8.Ave NY. Undocumented mark with star, a blend of AWP A and F marks (both **). Oddball fillester plane, possibly the result of Ward's origins in England; ask for details
2233.Sargent #68 1-1/4' nosing plane of the double-bladed persuasion. This one's a little beat from use, with one major wedge ding and rounded arrises overall.
2151.Sargent #663 #15 hollow plane (2'). A minor end check and slight sliver out of one arris; o/w clean and crisp; nice patina.
1937.Z.J.M'Master & Co. Auburn NY. AWP 'D' mark. #15 (1-1/8') hollow. 1 minor end check and a few small dents on the arrises.
1782.TJ McMaster & Co. Auburn NY. Variant on the AWP 'A' mark. Large round plane craftsman-modified into a cod plane with a 1-1/4' cut. Interesting
1671.S. Rowell Troy. Pollak C mark (two stars). 1 1/2' skew rabbet. Wedge a little rough at the edges and a small chip out of the mouth. Unusual mark.
1670.Bensen and Munsell, Albany. Pollak two stars. Short-lived partnership produced this moving filletster with side-style depth stop. Wedge and one corner of fence rough.
1628.Most unusual early plow plane with fence which slides over fixed arms in the European style; handforged thumbscrews hold it and depth stops. Wedge is probably a replacement. Looks ca. 1800.
1606.WH Pond New Haven. B1 mark (one star). A 3/16 boxed side bead with a difference: this one still has most of the original hardware store paper label (not very legible)
1333.Bensen and Crannell Albany. Diamond pad self-regulating adjustable sash plane. Hammerhead boxing on the complex side. Overall good condition though mouths have been opened.
1273.W.H.Pond N. Haven (Pollak A mark). Straight rabbet plane 6 1/2' long, and made that way on purpose. Middle pitch. Small chip ahead of mouth, o/w v. good.
1172.Another odd little patternmaker's plane, modified from a jack to cut a large radius (about 6' at a guess). 9' long and 2 1/2' wide. Unique.
1115.Bensen and Crannell Albany. Set of 3 side beads (3/8, 1/2, 3/4). Unfortunately I was too late to get the rest, or to stop the polyurinator, but these three boxed side beads are still together

Good+ (but polyurethaned)

939.WH Taber/WH Taber. Three-star 'back-to-back' mark. 1 1/2' skew rabbet in rough shape; chips, radial checks, stored in motor oil, and generally bad except for rare mark.
527.R. Eastburn. 1/2 believed to be New Jersey's first planemaker.
130.John M.Taber/New Bedford 1-1/2' skew rabbet. Slight impact damage to wedge, and a small gouge out of the top of the toe.
4073.Stanley #68 2-foot, 4-fold rule. Near as-new condition. Post-1936 notched logo. Not the best-made rule ever to come from Stanley, but this one's way above average in condition.
3676.Rabone. 2', 4-fold rule #377, in excellent condition with little pocket wear. Probably newer manufacture. Boxwood.
3587.Chapin-Stephens #65 1 foot, four-fold rule. Outside is darkened by pocket patination, inside is pretty clear.
3538.Lufkin No.524 4' zigzag rule with Doyle log scale. Paint has some pocket wear on the outer leg, but otherwise this is in good shape. Most unusual zigzag rule.
3310.Lutz #0489 zig-zig rule. Interesting but cheesy detent mechanism and lettering suitable for a blindman rule. These guys were better known for slide rules, and no wonder.
3169.Unmarked rule, looks to be a Stanley #63, marked 'second'. No clue what the problem was; markings are clear with usual wear from use.
3166.Stanley #68 two-foot, four-fold rule, nice and readable, joints tight though one leg is slightly sprung. Good if unspectacular user.
2559.Lufkin 8616 zig-zag rule. Clearly marked. This type does not have the extension slide for inside measurements.
2378.Lister& Harrison Sheffield. 3 foot, 4-fold boxwood rule, marked in tenths, twelfths, and sixteenths. Nicely patina'd, some darkening around hinges; all pins there, but slightly sprung.
2180.Master Rule Mfg. Co. 'Interlox' boxwood extending rule. 6' rule looks like a zig-zag, but has sections which extend straight out and lock in place. Ingenious and readable.
2111.Belden Brick Co. Canton Ohio. Set of Palmer's Speed Brick Projection Scales. These very specialized rules (there are 5 in the set) were used to calculate bricks needed. Coated paper.
1822.General #676 6' stainless rule. Marked in 16ths, 32nds, and 64ths A clean readable modern rule which is handy for the tool-hunting kit.
1438.Stanley #60 two-foot four-fold rule. Scarce full-bound Stanley rule. This one is well-patina'd and in overall good shape; as usual it's cleaner inside than out.
932.Chapin-Stephens #036 combination rule with level and protractor. Rule is true and vial is good; very readable though used, with some wear on brass, numerous scratches.
245.Lufkin #3851 3-foot, four-fold rule Very clear markings, almost like new
44.Stanley 32 1/2 folding rule
4190.Stanley #60 miter box. John Walter's book is evidently wrong about these, as he says they stopped making them in th 1920's, and this thing is a 1970-80 product if ever I saw one. This is a mid-range model that does not have as many bells and whistles as the really fancy ones, but would do a serviceable and accurate job for most purposes. Comes with saw; overall condition is near-fine. Capacity at 45 degrees looks to be about 4', maybe a little more.
4167.Stanley #42 saw set. This one's a veteran, with about 75% of the japan left. Well cared for and well used.
4159.Stanley #42 saw set. In original box. Original instruction book is with it; box corners are broken out, but there are no scuffs on the labels (surprisingly). From the 'tool box of the world' period.
4095.Geo. H. Bishop Company Hand Hack Saw. Nice clear mark with the gryphon trademark, though blade has numerous small stains. Handle is excellent. A very appealing saw.
4046.Keyhole saw; Disston handle, with a Rockwell blade. About 10 ppi with clearly readable etch. Nice little user saw.
4040.Disston Phila. No.2 Compass saw in the 14' length, looks like about 8 ppi. Made for plumbers and others who had to cut circular openings. This one was unusually well kept.
4018.Townsman by Disston 8ppi crosscut saw. A real mutt of a saw from post-1955, handle made of finest-quality plywood, keep it around for rough work or just to laugh at
3989.Simonds Works Fitchburg , Mass. Chicago, Ill. Hand hack saw. Interesting 14ppi hack saw built along the lines of a toolbox saw, with a wheat-pattern handle that incorporates an angle adjustment so that the saw can be at a different angle to the handle. Wood impeccable. Etch faint but readable.
3970.Gunn. Pittsburgh PA. Saw vise of a type I've not seen before. Extra wide, nearly 13' jaw; novel sliding-cam closure mechanism. Slot for anti-vibration leather strip, like a Wentworth. Apparently designed for mounting on some kind of backboard, as the rear jaw has hooks coming out of it toward the rear that look as though they fit over 2x lumber, and there's just a single mounting screw at the bottom. Most interesting.
3969.Unmarked saw vise. 9' jaw. Painted gray-- bet it was in some kind of institutional shop at some point. Clamp-on model in very good condition. Will make a nice user.
3944.Sandvik #271 5-1/2 ppi, 26' rip saw with strangely ergonomic plastic handle. Wondered if this thing was as comfy as it appeared, so I tried it out and it is. I suspect it was made in the 50's. Nice modern saw.
3925.Disston D-8 8ppi crosscut saw, 26'
3906.Jeweler's saw. Unmarked, with painted hardwood handle. A well-made tool, useful in metalwork and some kinds of marquetry, etc.
3839.Warranted Superior. Anonymous 8 ppi,26' crosscut saw. Nibbed, with 4 split nuts. This is an older saw, somewhat darkened, with an occasional blotch of pitting; better than it sounds, and should clean up to make a nice user.
3788.Bishop's patent adjustable depth backsaw with two different tooth counts, marked Keen Kutter. Bishop saws are moderately scarce, and this is the first I've seen with a Keen Kutter mark. Saw is splotchy (looks like it was cleaned) and etch is easily readable but not prominent; Keen Kutter mark is also struck into the handle, which is in excellent condition. Hard to find another.
3716.Hacksaw frame. High-quality cast iron frame with openwork handle and tensioning nut. Unmarked; not Starrett or Millers Falls. An interesting puzzle.
3701.EC Atkins. 24' backsaw. Nice handle, still in excellent condition. Saw is dark and needs cleaning but is very serviceable. Good replacement for a larger miter box.
3699.Millers Falls Tools. 22', 10 ppi backsaw made by Disston-Porter sometime in the 60's at a guess, with a heinously uncomfortable handle. Good replacement saw for a larger miter box. In excellent, near-unused condition
3698.EC Atkins Manufactured Expressly For The Marsh Miter and Picture Frame Machine. 24' fine-toothed steel-backed saw is proper replacement for those in Marsh miter vises in the years before Marsh was acquired by Stanley. No idea what happened to the vise.
3697.Disston 'Handy Hand Saw'. 24', 8 ppi crosscut saw made for the home-moaner market in the 1930's. Nice wheat-pattern handle. This one's in good shape, though the mark is dark, and will make a good user.
3640.Saw vise. Yet another clamp-on model, lightweight lever-action variety. Repainted, decently. Good user.
3639.Saw vise marked '19'. Clamp-on model with universal ball joint and a clamp-tightening mechanism I've not seen before. One bolt is an improper but functional replacement.
3561.EC Stearns. Wentworth patent saw vise.Repainted, and there's a break in the casting near the bottom. This doesn't seem to interfere with its holding power, though. Designed for screw mounting to a backing board.
3559.Unmarked saw vise. Clamp-on, fully adjustable model for use with any bench. Repainted.
3557.Unmarked saw vise. Clamp-on type mounts to any bench top. Adjustable angle. Good for sharpening saws or scrapers. This one's been repainted, like so many others.
3522.EC Atkins Silver Steel. 24', 14ppi backsaw for use with miter box. Handle impeccable; saw could use some cleaning, but is in good shape for use.
3448.Henry Disston and Sons. Keyhole saw. The very tippy-tip of the blade is broken off, as often happened with these. Blade otherwise impeccable, as is the handle.
3377.R.Groves & Sons, Sheffield. 'Use' trademark. 12', many ppi steel-backed backsaw, beautiful handle with elegant chamfers. A nice one.
3376.Junky, no-name pruning saw. Get this thing out of here, quick.
3374.Cuyahoga Saw Co., Cleveland. 8 ppi, 26' crosscut. Readable logo; 3-nut handle in good shape. Obscure maker.
3317.Jeweler's saw. No blade. Looks to be of more recent manufacture, but on traditional pattern -- nicely chamfered. Hardwood handle. German made.
3299.W. Tyzack & Sons & Turner Sheffield. Brass-backed 14' x 12 ppi back saw, 3' under back. Handle has a couple of slight bangs but much better than average.
3290.Craftsman. 26', 10ppi crosscut saw, well made, looks like an Atkins. Very well kept, and will make a nice user.
3289.Unmarked 5-1/2 ppi 26' rip saw, 4 nuts, wheat pattern handle in very good shape. Saw has 4 broken teeth at scattered intervals. Usable as is; will reward some effort.
3287.Stanley Handyman #1528 26' crosscut saw, 10 ppi. This one has been used, but used well; logo readable, teeth good, not a huge amount left, but serviceable.
3265.Eclipse. Modern fret saw. 11 1/2' throat depth, 4' blade. Nice saw for fine work. Apparently little used.
3242.Unmarked 8 ppi crosscut saw. Good manufacture; 4-nut wheat pattern fruitwood handle. OK user.
3186.Buller. The Buller Saw Set. Really more of a saw wrest, this one is new in the box; meant for larger saws.
3170.Unmarked miter box saw. 22' long by 4' deep, looks about 12 ppi, 60's manufacture, one handle nut has been replaced. Saw is in good shape.
3058.Wheeler Madden and Clemson. XLCR. Split nut, 5 1/2 ppi rip saw. Handle marked with owner's name (unmistakably) with a split around 1 nut. Thin under the heel. Better than it sounds.
3057.Spear and Jackson Sheffield Cast Steel. 20', 12 ppi split-nut crosscut saw. Handle is nice and saw is in good shape for use, though thin at 1-1/2' under the heel. Nice oldster.
3051.Unmarked Morrill-1B type saw set. Functional
3050.Morrill's No. 1B saw set. Early model. All finishes worn, of course, but in good shape for use.
3046.B. Mfg. Association (Lester patent) saw set. Patented 1904, an interesting and unusual set. Little is known about the maker. Good condition.
3045.Keen Kutter saw set. Plating is peeling as it often is on these. Logo on side. Kutter sold.
3044.Stanley #42 saw set. Older model. Finish worn but no rust or damage; will make an excellent user.
2999.Frame saw. Looks craftsman made, bleached and a little chewed bu but well made and sound. Blade needs cleaning, at least.
2986.Taintor's Positive No. 7 saw set. Yet another in the infinite variety of squeeze-type saw sets, but the lettering looks cool at least.
2950.Stanley Handyman saw set, in attractive red and grey. What can I say -- it's ugly, it's not as well made as their first line, but you can set a saw with it.
2940.Standard Cast Steel Made in USA. 5 ppi 28' rip saw with steel escutcheon plate, clear logo, handle perfect. A nice one, not listed in Shaffer
2939.CE Jennings. Combination set of saws #1, in original box with intact paper label. Saws in good shape with very clear logos, some cleaning needed. Extra pruning-saw blade, not from orig. set
2937.J.Flint, Rochester. Cast Steel. 28 x 4.5 ppi rip saw. Handle original with split nuts; has crack on one side, missing tip of upper horn. Older, nibbed saw by unusual maker.
2934.Stanley #358 SW era miter box. Missing length stop & tree, and 1 screw from top of mast. Saw impeccable w/clear SW logo, 28x5. A very good user.
2856.Miller's Falls #74 railroad rail saw. Looks like a meat saw, or hacksaw with a very deep cut. This one's got light pits from bad storage. Would take forever to cut a rail with this.
2728.Neat little craftsman-made dovetail-type saw that looks like it was meant for cutting down the sides of grooves. With a wooden sheath, open handle. From a central NY patternmaker's shop.
2611.Disston #8 Triumph saw set. Big honker for setting large circular saws. This one's in much better than average condition. Very clean.
2610.Taintor's Positive No. 7. Interesting saw set in absolutely c crisp, clean,and unabused condition
2336.Griffin's Improved hacksaw with unusual tensioning mechanism. Excellent condition with lots of japanning and a blade with a readable maker's mark (Stubs'). A nice one.
2332.Turning saw (bow saw). Craftsman-made, using twisted rawhide as the tensioning device; wedge is missing. Nice detail on turned handles. 6 ppi on the blade but you can easily change that.

Good (missing wedge)

2068.Disston Monarch #1 saw set. This unusual plunger and anvil type set could be used for either hand or band saws. This one has about 60% of the original japan.
1965.Jeweler's saw. Nicely made Lancashire pattern with good-looking chamfer work and adjustment nuts. No blade with it; handle has a couple of dings. Good looker.
1818.Burhans and Black Co. Syracuse NY #36 rip saw; 26' by 5 ppi. Blued with silver logo and stripe along the skew back. 4 nuts. Handle undamaged. Unusual mark.
976.Triumph. Unusual plier-type saw set, with a patent date of Oct. 1890. 50% japan.
918.H&B Mfg. Co. saw set. Interesting and unusual approach to the problem; haven't seen many of these, and it appears that not much is known about the company. Possible that depth stop is replaced.
816.Stanley 50 1/2 mitre box. Paint about 70%. No saw with it, but I have them if you want one. with the usual kerfs in the base board.
795.Stanley #150 mitre box. Used condition with about 40% japanning and use-slots in the (replaceable) base board.
794.Stanley #150 mitre box. 95% japanning remains. 4' capacity. A compact, useful little mitre box in great shape.
747.Griffin's Improved hack saw. This unusual hack saw has a cam-lever tensioning device in the handle. Unusual.
658.Henry Disston 26' 8 ppi crosscut. This one was made before his sons were, and in some respects it shows. Handle is rough, nib was snapped off, and mark is faint -- but it's there.
625.Unusual saw. 24' 14 ppi handsaw. Handle has been replaced but not too badly (you may want to put your own on it). Might be a metal-cutting saw, but I don't think so.
605.Very, very nice looking early jeweler's saw. Has that Lancashire look to it, and a #340, but is otherwise difficult to identify. Somebody named 'A' made sure we'd know it was his, o/w good++
569.C.E. Mitchell, Lowell, MA. Patented keyhole saw handle with H.W. Peace blade. Patent date stamped and all clearly visible.
458.Craftsman (WHAT?!?) mitre box. My lapse of taste is your bargain Actually not the worst mitre box I've ever seen, I had to try it out. Cheapie version of MoFo design.
422.Spear & Jackson 22' 6 ppi lightweight rip saw. Can't find this in their 1915 catalog and it looks a good deal older than that. Handle is a battered veteran, but few chips.
368.Big plier-type saw set by unknown maker. Nice for setting larger saws but won't work well on your dovetail. shape.
24.EC Simmons #88 handsaw
2.Unknown mfr. -- saw set
3375.Disston D-whatever 5-nut, 26', 8 ppi crosscut saw from the 50's. Needs a good cleaning, but will make a nice user.
4163.Millers Falls No. 199 offset screwdriver with 4 straight blades. Polished steel. In excellent condition.
4156.Witherby (but not the one you think) spiral ratchet return screwdriver. Looks to be of 1970's vintage, English made, sort of Buck-Rogers-y look with lucite handle; about 9' overall All finishes in excellent condition. I am guessing there were 8 bits with this originally of which 5 remain -- 4 are push drills and 1 is a straight-bladed screwdriver. Not common, but it's possible nobody cares.
4143.North Bros. Yankee 130A spiral ratchet screwdriver, in original box. Box is beat up but has best part of nice graphic label; finishes on screwdriver are great, with pristine nickel and some ring-dings on the handle; 3 bits and a little leaflet. Still has the spring, of course.
4137.Miller's Falls #29X yankee-type screwdriver set, in original box with all bits. Box is not terrific, being scuffed in a couple of spots, and screwdriver has wedding-ring dings to the finish on the handle; nickel's in great shape.
3933.Millers Falls #55 ratchet screwdriver.8-1/2' overall with 3/16' straight blade. Nickel spotty but good; wood good with normal wear to finish from use. An unusual smaller ratchet screwdriver.
3484.Stanley #1828 crosspoint offset screwdriver. Screwdriver out of 3/8' rod with a largeish Phillips head on each end, shaped like a squared-off S. Not one of your better-known Stanley collectibles -- in fact, Walter doesn't even list it. You need this to complete your collection, really.
3345.Mueller Mfg. Co. Decatur Illinois. One-way archimedean screwdriver. Rumor has it that these were used to close coffins, but rumor has it wrong.
3294.Crescent Tool Co. Jamestown NY. T-handle screwdriver; blade folds by in-line knurled handle, which snaps to 90 degrees with a spring detent. Use with transformer toys.
3293.Miller's Falls #41 Archimedean screwdriver; stained hardwood handle needs cleaning; markings are faint and metal parts have been buffed. No bits.
3255.Crescent Tool Co. Jamestown NY. Folding t-handle screwdriver; springloaded handle pivots to form t-handle. Neat and unusual tool.
3167.Unmarked 2 foot, 4 fold brassbound rule marked 'second', appears to be a
3101.Reid's patent archimedean screwdriver, which for perverse reasons they called a 'brace. Nickel is ok, but pad and handle both have cracks and the handle has been wired.
3100.AH Reid, Phil'a, Undistinguished Reid-patent archimedean screwdriver. the pad as is common.
2726.Crescent Tool Co. Jamestown NY. Screwdriver whose handle turns to form either a T-handle for the screwdriver, or the world's most useless hammer, with a hardened striking surface.
2697.Goodell Pratt Toolsmiths. Spiral ratchet return screwdriver similar to the Yankee. No bits; in absolutely unequalled shape with almost all original finishes.
2639.Goodell Pratt Co. Made in Greenfield Mass USA. Nice little offset straight-slot screwdriver. Not a ratcheting type. Nice and not a usual thing to find from this maker.
2606.North Bros. Yankee #30 spiral ratchet return screwdriver. Not just another Yankee, but very crisp and shiny bright. Spring removed as is typical. A very nice one.
2598.North Bros. Yankee #35 spiral ratchet screwdriver. Better than average nickel; normal wear to finishes on wood; spring taken out as they often are -- a safety feature.
2364.North Bros. #35. Smaller (10') Yankee-type screwdriver with bulbous handle. Plating great; handle finish worn; spring removed for your safety.
2325.Goodell-Pratt Toolsmiths. Yankee-type screwdriver. G-P's answer to North Bros.; this one has a nicely patina'd handle and better than usual nickel with wear only at the arrises. No spring.
2323.North Bros. Yankee No. 30. Apparently an early version; 1900 is the latest patent date, shifter has no detents and is thinner than on later models. Finishes good.
1988.North Bros. 'Yankee' No. 30A spiral ratchet return screwdriver. This one's kind of a beater; finishes are gone and nickel is rubbed and scratched.
1650.North Bros 131A spiral ratchet return screwdriver. Handle finish worn. Body of screwdriver appears to be brass -- no, this is not worn plating. Most unusual.
1649.North Bros. Yankee #35 spiral ratchet return screwdriver in the smaller 7' size. Plating 85%; finish on handle worn from use. Owner 'Finn' scratched his name in prominently. No spring.
1620.Miller's Falls 610 with most if not all plating and good finish on the handle. Most of the decal is there, too.
1377.Miller's Falls No. 29 8' Yankee-type push drill with one bit. I doubt if the MoFo design was as good as North Bros; looks like the 'gearshift' would pop out. This one in exc. condition.
1135.Reid's Patent Archimedean screwdriver. This one is in only fair condition, with worn nickel and a crack in the under-part of the head.
500.Decatur Coffin Company. Archimedean screwdriver. These were among the earliest spiral screwdriver patents. This one has a replaced handle and is worn.
380.Jeweler's archimedean screwdriver marked 'Rhineland'.
12484.Extremely convex cast-iron spokeshave. Just the thing for hollowing out them gutter pipes.
4150.Graton and Knight Mfg. Company. Belt shave, similar to the Simons-type shave, but nickel plated and having a Stanley block plane cutter. At first I thought this was an awkward user modification to a knockoff Simons shave, but fount-of-all-shave-knowledge Tom Lamond tells me that this was a tool made by a Worcester company to shave industrial belts prior to joining. This one has about 70% of the original nickel and is no great shakes to look at -- but is still an interesting and graphical tool.
2471.L. Bailey #10 combination spokeshave. This is the later type (1866 patent -- see Lamond p. 150). 40% japan as is typical for shaves that old.
2417.Unmarked carriagemaker's panel shave. Open handles as is typical for these; basically a flat-soled spokeshave of normal size. 95% japan.
2275.L. & I.J. White #93 cooper's shave. Blade is an early replacement from Stanley R&L. Handles original, with toolbox wear A big, beefy, graphic shave with a prominent White logo.
1557.Stanley #51 spokeshave with more japan than is usual.
1483.Wooden spokeshave. Craftsman-made, and well done. Blade very thin front to back for maximum maneuverability.
1424.No-name wooden spoke shave with brass wear plate. Larger and a little more solid than usual. Blade shows pitting.
997.Stanley spokeshave with early R&L logo; similar to Bailey #3, so proabably an early #53. Very little japanning remains.
919.Scraper. Craftsman-made, 3' blade in mahogany handle with inset brass wear plate, 13' overall. Doesn't offer a lot of knuckle clearance, so I'm guessing this was for coach work. Very pretty.
564.Stanley #51 spokeshave. Yet another #51, this one with more japanning and blade than most
543.Martin's spokeshave with convex sole and what you might call a lever 'strap' rather than a lever cap. of course.
136.Stanley #51 spokeshave From the look of the trademark an early one. One screw replaced, not much japanning left.
101.Stanley #51 spokeshave
4183.Miller's Falls #1 'cigar' spokeshave. The cutter on this one is in great shape, but the tool itself has been banged around a lot; the rosewood handles have numerous nicks and dings, and the screws holding the cutter have slots that are a little cammed out. Perfectly serviceable, of course, but not cosmetically the best. Bargain priced.
4168.Stanley #151 adjustable spokeshave. Easily the most serviceable of the Stanley shaves because of its adjustment mechanism. This one looks repainted, but not garishly so.
4158.Stanley #53 spokeshave. V-logo iron; finishes near-fine with 97+% japan. A good one.
3957.Unmarked spokeshave made by Seymour Smith, probably sold as the Sargent #11 during the time when Sargent sold unmarked versions of the Smith shaves. Similar to a Stanley 64. Usual worn-off japanning but the cutter is good and the shave will make a good worker.
3922.Stanley #55 concave spokeshave, 85% japan, nicely kept. A great shave for chair work or any other activity where smoothing cylinders is a part of the process. Good user.
3921.Stanley (UK) #151 spokeshave, modern manufacture. Near-new condition with decals intact; the most easily adjusted of the Stanley spokeshaves, and a pleasure to use.
3903.Stanley #64 lightweight spokeshave. SW mark. Japan near 100%. Excellent little shave.
3854.Sargent spoke shave, similar to Stanley #52, with straight handles. Finishes in unusually good shape for one of these.
3694.Large wooden spokeshave. Cutter is pitted, badly, and the wood around one of the tang holes is blown out as often happens with these. However -- this'll make a good working spokeshave for coarser work or softwoods if you clean up the blade.

3679.Spokeshave. Unmarked model similar to Stanley #51. Finishes original and excellent -- not used much.
3614.Stanley #51 spokeshave. Notched-rectangle logo on cutter. Original finish near 100%.
3613.Stanley #51 spokeshave. Notched logo. A repaint.
3570.Spoke shave. Wooden. Larger shave for heavier use; mouth has opened some from wear; cutter in excellent condition. Great shave for heavier work.
3539.Miller's Falls #1 cigar shave (circular spokeshave). In excellent condition and very well cared-for.
3537.Stanley #53 adjustable-mouth spokeshave. Repainted. Cutter has the graphic V-logo. Will make an excellent user.
3473.Unmarked wooden spoke shave. Iron a little skinny and mouth has worn a bit -- you won't get a fine shaving out of this, but it'd work for roughing out.
3363.L&IJ White, Buffalo,NY. #82 hollowing shave, 6'. Used originally for your own barrel staves with this little beauty.
3312.Yet another chairmaker's concave scraper, large, built like a big wooden spokeshave. A nice shop-made scraper with a 4' concave cutter, mildly concave.
3311.Chairmakers's devil. Large, shopmade concave scraper built on the pattern of a wooden spokeshave; 4' blade is mildly concave, about right for the shape on the front of a wooden settee seat.
3163.Stanley #55 spokeshave, 80% japan, SW cutter. Used but not abused, this concave shave is good for rounding operations.
3161.Stanley #51 spokeshave, turn of the (last) century to judge by the blade logo, finishes excellent, cutter a little short but well cared for. Nice one.
3160.Dunlap spokeshave. Tool is in great shape and cutter is sharp and well cared for. Not the most comfortable to hold, though.
4151.Taylor 15A. Pair of C-clamps -- 6' opening with 2' depth. Exceptionally heavy and well-made, this is a very good pair and a welcome contrast to cheap modern stuff.
3897.General. Multi-angle swivel Vacu-Vise. Quite a nice tool, as it turns out, despite some initial reservations on my part. Jaws can be swiveled (via ball joint) to practically any position. Suction base will hold to any nonporous surface, and tests carried out on the surface of a Whirlpool Automatic Washing Machine show surprisingly strong hold (for those who want to replicate this test, the Whirlpool was in the rinse portion of the Delicate cycle at the time). Jaw capacity about 2' by 2-1/2' wide. Would work well for small carvings, fly-tying, circuit-board assembly and hacking, jewelry, etc.
2938.Stanley Marsh #400 miter vise. 60's vintage, needs some WD-40. A great framer's tool.
2927.Vise. Clamp on version looks like small version of the business end of a blacksmith's leg vise. Jaws 2.25' wide , open to 3' . Nice older tool.
2888.Pair of iron cam-type c-clamps, marked 'No. 2' and 'Patented Feb 8 81'. Repainted with black spray. Maximum opening is a little over 6'. These are unusual hereabouts.
2833.Starrett 161-E patternmaker's clamp with 4' jaw capacity, 2' reach. High-quality metal mini-handscrew excellent for fine clamping and machine work.
2460.Odd but very attractive clamp-on vise which looks like the top of a blacksmith's leg vise. Jaws about 2' wide, 3' opening. Missing the tommy bar from the mounting clamp. Nice and unusual.
2442.Wooden handscrews; no maker's mark. Threads in good condition; clamps were a bit dry when found but a light oiling should bring them back; threads in good shape. 8' capacity; 6' or better reach
2362.Henry Disston & Sons. No. 1 ball-and-socket type saw vise. 75% japan. Designed to clamp on the bench and adjust at any angle. Massive and nice.
2268.Gunn Pittsburgh Pa. Very unusual and unique saw vise which mixes features of a folding toolbox vise with the more usual clamp-on variety. Rare and intriguing
2067.Early jeweler's pin vise resembling a miniature (4') blacksmith's leg vise, kinda. Shown in the 1896 Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog. Nicely chamfered, small, and elegant.
1768.Unusual leg vise made for circular saw sharpening. Adjustable spindle for different diam. blades; nicely cast handwheel and adjusting nut. Not something you see every day.
1317.Early and quite primitive hand vise marked 'X59'. Cast iron; japan is mostly gone. Graceful in its own way.
1099.Unknown maker. Compact, toolbox style saw vise. About the size of a 3-hole punch, this ingenious device holds the saw with a cam roller; clamps to benchtop for use. Nice if you're low on space.
1056.Saw vise, but not like anything I've ever seen. This one is attached to a round cast plate, as if it would just sit on the bench, and is set up to tilt to preset stops. Very unusual.
998.Dixon. Newer hand vise (but not Taiwanese, either) with maple handle. Overall excellent condition.
602.Large-ish metal patternmaker's clamp with roughly 4' capacity and 6' long overall.
475.Cheez-o-matic no-name hand vise. Fairly modern looking, jaws are about an inch long. Can't be too new... might make a nice user. Maybe something to give the kiddies?
364.Small (4' overall) hand vise. Has le hex-socket type and is thus a modern replacement. OK user.
4192.Joy Patent buggy wrench, large size (about 15' overall). Storage rust, but will clean nicely.
4146.Bemis and Call 10' adjustable wrench#75A. Ordinarily I wouldn't bother listing this here -- I'd sell it on eBay, or throw it at a passing police car -- but this is an exceptional adjustable wrench. Very beefy with a smooth action -- any other Crescent wrench feels cheesy after you've handled this thing. For the advanced bolt-turner.
4096.Tomahawk Wrenches. Set of 8 socket wrenches with ratchet and allen-wrench style handle, in original metal box with legible logo in non-PC pseudo-Native-American style. A relic of an innocent age.
4034.Frank Mossberg Co. Attleboro MA. Sterling No.1 bicycle wrench. Unusually good condition for one of these, clear marks, plating completely intact. A little waviness on the arris of the jaws is the only detraction. Very nice specimen.
3878.Trimo Pat App'd For Basin Wrench. An older and intriguing design for one of those tools that you don't need -- until you need it.
3827.Bemis & Call 21' nut (monkey) wrench with a Merrick-type adjuster, not shown in Schulz so far as I can tell, but not especially unusual either.
3789.Shaw's patent alligator wrench, made by Billings and Spencer. No idea how common these were, or under what circumstances B&S acquired the rights or started making them. A piece of wrench history is waiting to be written here.
3638.Crescent Tool Co. Jamestown NY 6-8' double-headed adjustable wrench. In excellent condition. A hard one to find.
3553.Bemis & Call 14' monkey wrench, an all-steel version of Schulz 832, stamped D&H, and believed to have been used on the Delaware and Hudson railway.
3542.Flash S'l's Chicago. Eifel-Flash Plierench. With only one of the three jaws (the one meant for round stock). Some of these have the Flash Sales logo, and some don't. This one does, and is in very good shape.
3472.L&S Co. Buckeye bicycle wrench. From Lamson and Sessions (Schulz 105). Light storage rust and some crinkling of the jaws.
3360.Utica #92-8 crank-adjustable crescent-style wrench, 8'. One of the odder ideas ever to land with a wet splat in wrenchdom Most unusual and impractical
3349.Gellman #61 'Polly' 6' quick-adjust wrench. Smallest of the Gellman adjustable line. This one's in very good shape. This one's in very good shape.
3321.Diamond Tool and Horseshoe Co. 12' adjustable nut wrench (monkey wrench). Bright steel in excellent condition. Not in Schulz, so far as I can tell.
3230.King Dick #1 monkey wrench (4' overall). A few 'rash-like' light pits but jaws are impeccable -- an all-round good example, with two visible stamped trademarks
3152.Sterling No 1 bicycle wrench in fairly lousy shape. An uninteresting wrench in so-so condition. Price negotiable
3148.Gendron Iron Wheel Co. Diamond cycle wrench. Patented wrench by innovative bicycle maker who invented the wire wheel. This may be an early one, as it does not have the spoke attachment.
3146.William Hjorth, Jamestown NY Pat. Dec. 15 1896. Combination tool, perhaps for fencing, about 14' overall, includes plier with pipe jaw, wire cutter, screwdriver and tack puller.
3132.Rogers, Printz & Co. Warren Pa. Adjustable wrench of the sliding collar type for which the company is known. Good condition.
3113.Adjust-a-box. 8 in. adjustable box wrench. Patented. A search of Schulz doesn't show this one but it would be easy to miss something in Schulz. First I've seen.
3096.Eifel Plierench. Only one jaw, but in very good condition.
3092.Large (6' when closed) King Dick type wrench proudly marked 'British made' (and also having a series of part numbers cast in) Has been cleaned; surface is rough but not bad.
3090.Billings & Spencer Co. 'E' size adjustable wrench. These get less common as you go up through the alphabet. This is a nice, clean example with a small patch of corrosion on the handle.
3036.Pipe wrench. Unmarked pincer type attributed to Hoe Corp. Adjustable, 22' long overall. Just the thing for the fledgling steamfitter.
3035.PS&W Co. 'solid bar' patented Coes-type wrench, 8' overall, marked Erie RR co. Handle worn but not cracked or otherwise damaged; some minor crinkles on jaw arrises. Nice railroad tool.
2979.American Saw Co. Trenton NJ Alligator Pat'd. Alligator wrench marked '1'. Nice clean example.
2931.1942 Richards Sheffield. 5' adjustable wrench similar to a King Dick. Some dings to the jaw arrises, but overall excellent.
2929.Gordon Automatic Patent Applied For. Quick-adjust crescent wrench, about 8' overall. A rare adjustable wrench in better than average condition.
2928.Hedstrom Industries Larc-O-Matic self-adjusting wrench. Schulz #320. Similar to the much more common Cochran. This one is in excellent shape.
2924.Koeth's Interchangeable Tool (K.I.T.). Weird, wonderful, unique plier tool with 6 interchangeable heads that turn it into pruning shears, a leather punch, alligator wrench, etc, all in a case.
2883.'King Dick' style wrench, a little over 4' closed, stamped '167' in an oval, and 'British Made' on the slide. Jaws are a little dinged. Interesting.
2769.Ripley's patent wrench/combination tool. Early (1857) patented, very unusual tool. Patent is cast into the side. Teeth in very good condition, as is the rest of the wrench.
2734.Hayden's Pat. June -15-80. Small adjustable wrench similar to a King Dick or Billings 'A'; brass adjuster, 4' long overall
2724.6' twisted-wire handled adjustable wrench on the pattern of #364 in Schulz. Manufactured, not craftsman made, and fairly unusual.
2723.9' monkey wrench with twisted wire handle. Schultz (at 574) believes this to be shop made but it ain't. that I've seen. Uncommon.
2683.Mossberg Sterling #1 bicycle wrench with attractive logo. Finish on this one is above average.
2680.Gellman Manufacturing Company. Adjustable wrench with unusual, patented toothed adjustment mechanism.
2677.Unmarked Miller's Falls -type buggy wrench, 8' long overall. Some very light pits, not surprising in a buggy wrench. Better new Sears design to shame.
2674.Mossberg 'C' wrench. Attleboro mark; 1895 patents. Finishes good for a wrench this age, as are jaws. Unusual.
2673.Mossberg 'A1' bicycle wrench. Dull finishes, but in good shape with clearly readable marks.
2672.Wakefield Cycle Wrench, Worcester Mass. Pat. Appld For. Side-adjusting bicycle wrench. nicks and bangs.
2603.#2 pipe tongs. Maker's mark is the outline of an anvil; I should know who that is but I don't. About 18' long overall; screw adjusts diameter gripped.
2585.Pexto. 14' metal handled adjustable nut wrench marked 'NYCRR'. If you've got a hankering to fix rail cars on the New York Central Railway, this is the wrench for you.
2533.Gellman Wrench Corporation Rock Island Ill. 'Polly' 9 in. patented adjustable wrench. One minor jaw ding. o/w clean and nice.
2532.Billings & Spencer Co. Hartford, Conn. 'B' size (7') adjustable wrench, marked C.E. Billings Pat'd Feb 18th 1879. Minor jaw dings, o/w very clean.
2515.Wakefield Cycle Wrench, Worcester Mass. Pat. Apl'd for. Bicycle wrench, of course, similar to the Mossberg types. This one is also stamped 'Homer Brook, 44 Barclay St. New York'
2514.Mossberg 'Sterling' No. 1 bicycle wrench, plating a little spotty but better than most.
2413.Eifel Geared Plierench. One of the better plier-type tools ever thunk up, these originally came with 3 jaws; this one has only one.
2360.B. Boardman combination pipe wrench, nut wrench, nail puller, etc etc. ad nauseam. 1856 and 1866 patent dates. Unusual little combination tool.
2036.Hand-forged implement wrench. 14' overall with heads for 1-1/8' and 1 5/8' square nuts at opposite ends of an S-shaped handle. A fascinating example of smithing.
1978.Mossberg 'Sterling' No. 2 bike wrench. Nickel on this one is better than average; there's a little mushroom where someone tapped the end of the handle with a hammer.
1919.Gas spigot wrench. Identical to Schulz #1893. Used by tank wagon drivers, or so says Schulz. Most green paint is worn off this one but it's otherwise in good shape.
1832.Diamond Calk Horseshoe Co. Duluth. 11' monkey wrench similar but not identical to Schulz 389. Good condition with clear mark
1687.Single alligator wrench, 6' long. Unmarked but probably made by Bonny.
1685.Bemis & Call H&T Co. Springfield Mass USA. 10 in. S-wrench An early example of a popular wrench.
