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

Sometimes, emails to/from me are vectored to some cyber black
hole, never reaching their destination. I answer all emails, so if
you haven't heard from me, your/my email is likely having high tea
in said black hole, never to be heard from, so please try again.
If there is anything in particular that you're after, do ping me
as there is a lot of stuff here that isn't on the list; the list
just represents a snapshot of the previous month's haul with none
of the stuff having appeared on a previous list. I like to keep
things fresh here.
Please email me prior to sending money so that you can be sure
the item is still up for grabs. Also, prices do not include shipping,
which is the amount that it takes to go from me to you via the US
Post Office.
This list goes out to many people, normally on the first Monday
of the month (unless otherwise noted above). So, if you see something
you want, it's the quickest finger on the trigger that wins the duel.
Some folks become upset that they miss out on a tool. I wish I had
lots of this stuff many times over so I can satisfy the demand, but
that is normally not the case. Some of it does have duplicates here,
and if so, I will state that in my reply to you.
Also, due to the nature of selling over the wires, tools are sold
on a first come, first serve basis. The first person to say "I'll
take it", gets it. I have to operate this way as some will take a
few days to get back to me with their interest in a particular item,
and it's unfair to keep others waiting who are willing to buy the
item immediately.
I reserve the right to correct typographical errors after the list
goes out. I rarely make them, but when I do they can be major ones.
If you're the kind of person who puts a straightedge to the sole of
a #40, to check it for flatness, or who tosses a plane on a scale to
weight it against what it states in the Stanley catalogs, you'll need
to take your business elsewhere. I'll wish you luck finding perfection
in something that was never made, nor intended to be, perfect. You guys
know who you are, and it's best for both of us that our paths not cross.
Lastly, and I don't like to mention this, but if you tell me that
money is on the way for something you want, and you never make good
on it, we won't be doing business in the future. It's unfair, actually
downright discourteous, to others who want the same thing, and I tell
them it's sold. Pull this on me, and you're exorcised from the list.
Sorry, but I don't tolerate this behavior well at all.
Don't forget the cool new tools that I'm making - a jazzy layout
knife being used by professionals (made the cover of Feb.1998 FWW!),
a detachable block plane handle designed to fit your standard pitch
block planes, a killer Robinson's Improved Patent sliding bevel, a
tilting jaw for your Emmert's vise, and the finest bench plane in
production today, the Bed Rock #601. You can see it all at:
http://www.supertool.com/newtools.htm
Remember, you don't have to be a connoisseur (did I spell that
correctly) to shop here. You can be a wirehead, a metalhead, a zipper-
head, a propellerhead, a deadhead, a cokehead, or even a knuckle
dragging oaf, just like me, to shop here, as long as your dinero is
green.
Thanks for shopping, and remember that no letters or words were
injured when writing this list...
FEATURED TOOL OF THE MONTH
******** ***** ** *** *****
FT1 A #3-size vertical post smoothing plane, right from the
original source and never in the hands of a tool artist
to mess with it; the design Leonard Bailey made, right
before his eureka moment that led him to the standard
design that spawned millions of planes that were, and
are still used, by millions worldwide; still obsessed
with rocking the frog and iron to change the set, Bailey
messed with this idea for over a decade trying to perfect
the iron plane; each design got him closer to the final
product, even the casual observer can see how this one
resembles his last design; made for a few years in Boston,
this plane uses a large brass nut, on a vertical screw
(hence the name, 'vertical post') to rock the frog up
and down, it still required too much machining to make
it practical; offered in all sizes, #1-#8 (no #2 has
been found, and I had a #10 in the Inner Sanctum), this
design became the standard for the sizes and is still
used today; a plane with no damage other than the tip
of the tote having been sheared off long ago, the plane
has a later Stanley iron in it, but still has the
original cap iron (which only is found on this design);
Bailey supplied his vertical posts with Moulson Bros.
irons, so finding a proper one won't be a difficult chore;
its original owner neatly stamped his name on one side
of the casting and in the tote; never cleaned, it's
nearly as fresh as the day it was made:

ST44 #131 double end block plane with rotating adjuster to set

ST53 #51 shooting plane; as found, a worker that saw lots of
that, tip of tote was sheared off and repaired, a #5 (and

ST65 #4 1/2H heavy oversize smoothing plane; embossed with the
"H" after the model number, these planes have the narrow
width iron and lever cap that the earlier #5 1/2's have,
2 1/4", they were offered longer than many realize, up
to the early 1930's; a plane targeted to the UK market,
the planes are heavier than the standard #4 1/2, Stanley
was attempting to make obsolete the heavy infill planes
that tradesmen there used, but the US firm failed miser-
ably to reach their goal; an as found example, free of
damage, the iron is a Marples replacement, the tote is
also a replacement, both of which are easy to remedy;

ST75 Pair of boxwood handle Razor Edge spoke shaves, the #84 and
#85; each with different lengths cutters, the former is in
fine shape, the carrier on the latter has the usual snapped
off ear, it's guaranteed to be a fine worker as is; designed
for fine shaving, thus their name; bottom two:

ST76 #104 Liberty Bell smoothing plane; a very clean, much nicer
that usual, example of this steel body plane that has the
unique adjustment; great grain pattern to the tote, small
chip at the tip, patent date visible on the cheek; all
original save for the small nut and screw to engage the
lever, a later one was made by an owner, it's easy to re-
place that from one of the transitional examples as they
are all the same; these planes got real ugly real quick,
this one escaped that fate; top:

ST77 #1 smoothing plane; rescued from a barn, along with several
other bench planes, the lever cap was off the plane and a
search found it in another plastic tub; all original, "S"
casting dates it to ca.1895, the tip of the tote was sheared
long ago, the japanning on the main casting is sparse; a 100%
honest example and not a cobbled together one offered by so
many other sellers; bottom:

WOOD PLANES
**** ******
WP1 Adjustable door plane by M.Crannell/Albany; cuts a reverse
ogee on the stiles and rails as it's run within their
grooves, the plane has screws (surrounded by diamond shape
plating) to set it to the width of the groove; little used
and in fine shape, this plane was a popular design by the
Albany area makers, but is nowhere near common; top:

WP2 Adjustable sash plane by Greenfield Tool Co.; similar to
the previous plane, the screws are surrounded with brass
disks, it cuts the common square ovolo profile and the
rabbet simultaneously; in extra clean shape, barely used;

WP3 5/8" Roman ogee by I.Green; a late 1700's example with
flat chamfers, as found, no owner marks, dirty, small ding
on stop at heel, there are ancient shavings still in the
throat from when last used decades ago:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t3.jpg $90.00
WP4 3/4" match planes by Marples; centers the groove on 3/4"
thick stock, they are perfect for today's lumber; in fine
shape, showing normal wear, all they need is a honing;
top two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t34.jpg $85.00
WP5 Yellow birch reeding plane by Isaac Field/Providence; from
Field's earlier period, it's difficult to find his work in
this wood, his design followed Fuller's, I've had an even
earlier one that was the spitting image of a middle period
Fuller, which offers a clue that Field was in close contact
with Fuller; never cleaned, good surface, it cuts two 1/2"
diameter beads; a bit of wear on one bead's quirk, an owner
applied a strip of leather long ago; no owner mark, three
small holes in the heel, the plane is odd in that the step
on on the left side of the body; a nice example; bottom:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t50a.jpg $175.00
WP6 Chunky 10" beech quirk ogee and astragal with a real unique
style; broad flat chamfers, the step has a double mold; made
ca.1800, with original surfaces, it's a very well made plane
with loads of mass; cuts 3/4" deep by 1 1/8" wide, if early
and unique planes are your thing, you'll love this one;

WP7 Unique yellow birch cornice plane by L.Little/Bofton; as
nice as an early plane can be from Boston, this one has
never been abused and shows little signs of use; Little
had a style like I.Sleeper, whose planes are beech, 99.99%
of Little's planes are beech, this is a spectacular ex-
ception to that; with a single early owner mark, the
plane cuts the 3 1/2" wide ogee and reverse ogee separated
by a square, the common profile used on a cornice; no
hang holes, nail holes, or black holes, with some minor
stains, the original tote is beech (probably made in
batches waiting for a plane to put it on), it's definitely
original; an important example for those into 18th century
planes; top:

WP8 Earlier cornice plane with crazy profile and low pitch iron;
cuts a 2 5/8" by 1 1/8" profile that's too difficult for
Freud to comprehend; made ca.1825, no maker/owner mark,
hole for helper handle, a fence as added on the right side,
holes are all the remain; crude handle matches the patina
and character of the rest of the plane, I believe it to be
original; stable checking in heel looks far worse than it
really is, a nice example that saw very little use; top:

WP9 26" jointer by L.&I.J.White; barely used, 2 1/2" wide
cutter, no damage, minor rust on iron will easily clean,
in much nicer than usual condition, good mass, a later
finish was applied to it; a fine worker; top:

WP10 Three hollow planes, one 18th century Sleeper style with
a maker's mark I can't make out; sound workers, the widths
across the irons are 3/8", 1/2", and the early one a hair
narrower than 3/8"; bottom three:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t74.jpg $85.00
WP11 Extra clean owner made moving fillister with solid boxwood
sole; skewed iron, no nicker, it's made for rabbeting along

made this should have been doing it for a living; top left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t80.jpg $155.00
WP12 1/4" square ovolo by I.Sorby; as found, finish removed some

WP17 Cove and astragal; cuts 1/2" deep, it's manufactured but
the maker's mark has been obliterated (some owners did
that to their planes); owner marks in heel, a sound worker
of a profile that has nearly unlimited uses:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t85.jpg $90.00
WP18 18th century astragal and cove (together commonly called a
bolection); no maker's mark, ca.1775 English made, cuts a
3/4" deep by 1 1/8" wide profile that is popular on
furniture and architecture; dark patina, no owner marks,
a solid example:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t86.jpg $90.00
WP19 6" coachmaker's compass plane; a well made thing, it has an
adjusting screw at the heel to flex the steel plated sole
down so that the plane can work convex curvatures; with an
Aaron Hildick iron, minor stain, sound shape, an odd plane
for sure; top left:

WP20 Adjustable chamfer plane by C.Nurse; the popular UK design
with a sliding box to set the width of cut via the screw
on the side of the 6 1/2" body; as found, never cleaned or
altered, it's stamped with a Dover tool merchant's name on
the heel; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t87.jpg $70.00
WP21 Late 18th century Hayes/Liverpool astragal with steeper
pitch for working hardwoods; as found, free of modification,

applications; bottom:

WP22 Bulky owner made toted smoothing plane with brass plated
sole; good mass, laminated construction, finished with a
black color, sole is 8 1/8" long, 2 1/8" wide double iron,
it'll make a rugged smoother for general use; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t88.jpg $95.00
WP23 Goldenberg 8 1/4" smoother with original label on the wedge;
an interesting French plane, the uncut iron can be used with
or without the cap iron, it's secured to the iron via the
force applied from the wedge; only in need of a honing, it's
a quality plane; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t88.jpg $70.00
WP24 Continental moving fillister; original label reads RAKOVNIC,
which may translate to "kinda unattractive, but functional
even in the kitchen", this as found example has an adjustable
fence and a stop that runs the length of the body; skewed
iron, a beefy nicker iron, some superficial rust will easily
clean; probably equally at home skinning a cabbage as it is
peeling wood; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t89.jpg $115.00
WP25 3/16" diameter fully boxed bead by Cockbain/Carlisle; as
found, free of damage, never cleaned or abused, owner mark,
it's a good worker for times a 1/8" or 1/4" bead are needed
as the eye can't see a 1/16" difference; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t89.jpg $65.00
WP26 5 1/2" drip edge plane with brass skate; a well made thing,
the right side is molded (similar to a handrail) for better
grip, it's used to cut a small groove under the bottom of
a window sill so that the water rolls off; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t90.jpg $60.00
WP27 Pair of Japanese planes; knowing nothing about these things
other than the fact that I can categorically state that the
irons are not made from spent North Korean missile metal,
one is 6 3/4" long with a flat sole, the other 7 3/4" long
with a curved sole, both saw little use and are of a good
size for smaller work, like planing bonsai wood, or some-
thing like that; a little inside info here - I can't stand
these things, but I wouldn't mind having a Nissan Skyline
GT-R; bottom right two:

WP28 Fine yellow birch molding plane I..Martin, thought to be a
Vermont maker who obviously wasn't well tuned to accepted
styles made by those south of him; with unique charm, the
blocky stock is 9 3/8" long, the wedge is nearly the same
length; narrow flat chamfers don't offer a grip as comfort-
able as what wider ones afford, the step is nicely molded;
stamped three times with his mark, it cuts a 1 3/8" wide
wavy profile that resembles a washboard; in fine shape,
never cleaned or modified, and quite uncommon; top:

WP29 Gabriel square, reverse ogee, and cove; a lovely profile
on this late 1700's plane that's free of damage and owner
marks, it was refinished long ago; cuts a 3/4" deep by 1"
wide profile, some bang marks on heel, this is a very
nice plane of an uncommon complex profile:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t97.jpg $185.00
WP30 Smaller grooving plane with adjustable fence; made by
Emir, it has one (of the three) original irons of 1/8",
it saw little use; perfect for smaller work; bottom:

WP31 Ohio Tool Co. toted screw arm plough; with the shaped tote
for more comfortable grip, made of beech, cleaned, it's a
sound worker and shows the common thread chipping, the
nuts and washers still hold firmly; stable check to nuts,
this is guaranteed to perform your grooving needs well;
top:

WP32 18th century larger square ovolo; a jack length plane with
offset crazy tote, round top IOHN GREEN iron, the plane
was used a few times and then forgotten; free of modi-
fication, 100% original, never cleaned, made of beech,
it cuts a 1 1/2" ovolo for architectural work; a nice
and solid plane; top:

WP33 4 5/8" wide (cutter size) yellow birch cornice plane; a
beast that forms one half of the common ogee and reverse
ogee profile, this one was for large buildings of great
importance, like a meetinghouse; as found, a helper
handle was dovetailed into the stock, that's long gone
now, an auxiliary fence was tacked onto the bottom of
the original fence, the tip of the original beech tote
was wounded in action; loads of mass and a lotta plane
for the buck; top:

WP34 Clean Greenslade fully boxed reeding plane; cuts three 1/4"
adjacent beads over the 3/4" width, remarkably it has
never had a fence attached, like nearly all have, it saw
limited use; entire working sole is boxwood; owner mark,
a much nicer than usual example; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t108.jpg $90.00
WP35 S.Rowell 1/2" bolection; cuts a 1/2" deep profile that has
loads of uses, smaller sizes of this profile are uncommon,
this example was carefully used, has a minor patch of
roughness in the boxing, no owner marks, and is perfect for
cabinetwork:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t115.jpg $110.00
WP36 1/2" skewed rabbet; manufactured, but only with owner's
mark, as found, a bit of staining on the heel, free of
modification, an uncommon width for finer worker; top:

WP37 Late 18th century 1/4" thumbnail (quarter round); with nice
grain pattern, narrow chamfers, unique wedge, free of
modification, well made, it's perfect for putting the fine
detail on drawer fronts; owner mark, it's of central New
England origin with the shorter length of 9"; these planes
are not common as most got used up through years of hard
work, image suggests is not a quarter round, that's the
angle of the image and a bit or wear; bottom:

has the common bronze casting of a right angle, a skewed
iron allows the plane to work across the grain, it can trim
shoulders and plane tenon cheeks flat while working into

planes, they are owner made (or finished from a purchased

MS32 Peugeot Freres 1 1/8" diameter screw box and matching tap
with owner-made wrench; as found and offered for restoration,
this well made tool lost its cutter, that can easily be
made (making the tap is the real chore with these tools);
dirty, loads of mass with the cast iron business end, a
small nut is missing on the screw that holds the castings
together; well worth the effort to bring this one back to
life; bottom:

MS33 Good 17" panel plane with mahogany stuffing; classic
Scottish pattern, loads of mass, it's fit with a 2 3/8"
parallel Marples iron; bronze lever cap is probably an
older replacement but who really knows as some Scots can

MS35 Sargent's Patent sliding bevel in rosewood; a design that
ultimately was made of metal after assigned to Stanley,
this is the largest size I've seen of this model, and I've
only seen a few in 35 years of active tooling; 12" blade,
in fine shape, with owner initials, very well made, the butt
locking screw secures the blade tightly, it's in fine shape
with owner initials, the few that have shown up have no
identifying marks of any kind, one needs to be a bevel
lover to recognize what this is; patented by Samuel Sargent,
of Hartford, Connecticut, in 1873; right:

well made design with a brass ring to buttress the jaws
and cutters, the base is clearly stamped with inventors'
names and Salem, OH location; good mass, in typical shape
for a tool of its age, it fits a common brace, the design
is very similar to Swan's manufacture (in Connecticut),
there had to be some relation between the two firms; top

MS40 Collier's drip edge plane; manufactured in England (I think
Brixton, which pre-dates the Guns of Brixton), its maker's
descendant continues toolmaking but realized there's more
money in making poo run downhill than there is in drip edge
planes; very well made, it cuts the shallow groove under
the sill (or cill as the English incorrectly spell it) that
allows water to go downhill as a drip; 5 3/4" long, in fine
shape, and perfect for those who want to keep their wood
free of rot; top right:

MS41 18th century marking hammer; with early "JB" initials to
impress wood, the 7" forged head has chamfers that run

Falls made; top:

normally found, it can be used; bottom:

screw to secure the auger, a lever sets the ratchet off,

worker condition and is perfect for larger work; top:

MS48 Siegley Patent combination plane; with 15 cutters, long
and short arms, it's as found and a plane that gave Stanley

condition, a clean will make it a good worker; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t33.jpg $135.00

ripoff of the Stanley model, it's in fine shape, globe

MS91 Fire nozzle with turbine to turn the nozzle that's fit
with a cutting edge; designed to use water pressure to

delivered onto the fire, it's named the Self Propelling
Nozzle and was sold by Francis Hankin&Co Ltd.; a well
made thing, with loads of mass, it was patented in 1922

MS94 Simonds 26" 5 1/2pt rip, the $2.50 model with the enameled
button; used once, put away, and still as sharp as the day
it was made, this is their model No.61 and is the firm's
top of the line offering; Simonds was America's best saw
maker, forget about the Acme whatevers, this is the Acme
in handsaws before Simonds stopped making them just before
WWII as they were non-union and the union carpenters
boycotted them (or so I was told by a longtime Simonds'
employee before he went to saw heaven); the second best
example I've had, only bettered by one in the original box
I had long ago; minor tarnish from handling, this and some
Disston's that follow all came from the same chest; top:

MS100 J.H.Spear 1904 patented spoke shave with aluminum body;
one of the finest designs made, one can see how Stanley
adapted it for their popular Razor-Edge line; with the
iron bedded at zero degrees and a mouth that can be set
finer than any Norris plane, it's perfect for the finest
work; stamped with patent date, and made from a metal
that was finding its way into popular use, even on auto-
mobiles of the era, the tool is not common and when found
is normally made from wood; bottom:

MS102 Disston D-15 7pt ripsaw with carved rosewood handle and
full Victory etching; the image fails to capture the con-
dition of this one, it still has some dry cosmoline on
it, there are some finger smudges; 26" blade, far nicer
than what's normally found, it came with the Simonds
listed above; middle:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t60.jpg $155.00

MS106 Odd C.S.Osborne&Co./Newark rosewood handle tool of unknown
function; I've run this by two expert leather tool people,
one of whom has Osborne catalogs, and neither know what it
is; 9" long, it has two sharp points, the curved part is
slotted and has serrations on the edge; it's been suggested
as a can opener, and it may be that, I've tried it on a
can and it would require great contortion (of flesh and
metal) to function as one; in fine shape, whatever it is;
bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/oct/t61.jpg $185.00
MS107 1 3/4" square stake anvil; little used, with superficial

MS108 Pair of dowel makers; made of fruitwood, they are a manual
version of the #77 dowel machine; each with a metallic
insert for more precise work, the single cutter is swapped

long as you wish; very well made, they date ca.1900; bottom

diameters of 1/4" to 1" in 1/16" increments, these date to

drills; far nicer quality than the junk sold in orange and
blue color stores that blight America; left:

MS110 Larger letter set in the original box; look to be from
the 1950's, letters are 1/4" and have a protective coating;

MS168 Uncommon Hummer Tool Co. aluminum handle saw with patented
oiler; one of the crazier concepts, a handle that dispenses
oil to reduce the saw's friction, they were miserable flops
in the handtool world, this was one of the greatest flops
that appeared at a time when it should have been clear no
one wanted the things; the cast handle has a cavity into
which oil is poured, a trigger squeezes a bit of oil onto
the blade to make your prized mahogany greasy; as found,
the idea was made to apply on the blade of your choice,
this one is very rusted (perhaps it needed some oil to
prevent that); trigger works, the filler cap is missing
in action, maybe its owner deliberately chucked it so
that it could no longer hold oil and prevent him from ever
making the mistake of mixing oil and wood; stamped with
the company name and Philadelphia location, this is
patent 1,512,080 by William Blount (of Ohio) and half
assigned to William Barnwell (of George), an odd pairing
for an odd tool indeed; middle:

from moisture, it did a remarkable job of keeping the
chisels dry, the finish on the handles has cracking;
