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

Sometimes, emails to/from me are vectored to some cyber black
hole, never reaching their destination. I answer all emails, so if
you haven't heard from me, your/my email is likely having high tea
in said black hole, never to be heard from, so please try again.
If there is anything in particular that you're after, do ping me
as there is a lot of stuff here that isn't on the list; the list
just represents a snapshot of the previous month's haul with none
of the stuff having appeared on a previous list. I like to keep
things fresh here.
Please email me prior to sending money so that you can be sure
the item is still up for grabs. Also, prices do not include shipping,
which is the amount that it takes to go from me to you via the US
Post Office.
This list goes out to many people, normally on the first Monday
of the month (unless otherwise noted above). So, if you see something
you want, it's the quickest finger on the trigger that wins the duel.
Some folks become upset that they miss out on a tool. I wish I had
lots of this stuff many times over so I can satisfy the demand, but
that is normally not the case. Some of it does have duplicates here,
and if so, I will state that in my reply to you.
Also, due to the nature of selling over the wires, tools are sold
on a first come, first serve basis. The first person to say "I'll
take it", gets it. I have to operate this way as some will take a
few days to get back to me with their interest in a particular item,
and it's unfair to keep others waiting who are willing to buy the
item immediately.
I reserve the right to correct typographical errors after the list
goes out. I rarely make them, but when I do they can be major ones.
If you're the kind of person who puts a straightedge to the sole of
a #40, to check it for flatness, or who tosses a plane on a scale to
weigh it against what it states in the Stanley catalogs, you'll need
to take your business elsewhere. I'll wish you luck finding perfection
in something that was never made, nor intended to be, perfect. You guys
know who you are, and it's best for both of us that our paths not cross.
Lastly, and I don't like to mention this, but if you tell me that
money is on the way for something you want, and you never make good
on it, we won't be doing business in the future. It's unfair, actually
downright discourteous, to others who want the same thing, and I tell
them it's sold. Pull this on me, and you're exorcised from the list.
Sorry, but I don't tolerate this behavior well at all.
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 Exceptional pre-Civil War surgeon's kit in its original
brass plated rosewood case; made of the finest materials
of its time, it's the capital saw that draws the eye to
reveal that this is no ordinary kit, but one that is the
pinnacle of what was offered to a profession that was
then not too distant from a butchery; looking as if a
refined Miller Patent plane is an ancestor of the capital
saw, the spine and handle indicate that this set was
owned by a doctor of high esteem; the mahogany case is
lined with velvet and the tools French fit within save
for the tourniquet which is placed at the ends of the
knives, of which there are four, and the straight saw;
when this was offered, England and France were the notable
makers of such items, they were exported to the US where
retailers would stamp their names on them, in this case
Bain&Brinkerhoff operating as a partnership in New York
City during 1852-1853; in great condition, with one notable
exception, one of the knives shows chipping, perhaps it
was used to fillet a whale or something; one void in the
case is for the tweezers, which are long gone (I checked
the world famous tweezers collection I offered several
months ago for it, but it's not there); some later tools
were added, there is also a curved baleen tool that I
think is used for suturing, I believe this is original
to the set; the lock is missing from the case, those are
standard issue and can easily be found; amazingly, the
brass plaque on the case's top isn't engraved with a name;
a very upscale set of investment quality, lesser ones have
sold for more, when viewed in person it may leave you
speechless like how Howard Carter must have reacted when
gazing upon King Tut's tomb for the first time:

ST20 Extra clean #5 1/2 oversize jack plane; all original parts,
99% japanning, mid-1920's production with single patent
date, this one spent much more time being a lazy tool, it's

ST21 1/8" #40 Everlasting chisel; barely used, 9" long, it can

left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t30.jpg $135.00

it's in as found condition and will clean to be in much
nicer than usual cosmetic condition; 1920's production,

parts, no damage, will clean to be much nicer than usual
examples; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t38.jpg $85.00
ST31 #10 1/2 smooth rabbet; ca.1915 example with four-line logo
stamped in the iron; as found, free of damage, plenty of
life left to the iron, a previous owner swapped a good
tall knob on it once those became available ca.1930; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t40.jpg $160.00
ST32 #921 6" sweep brace; my favorite Stanley brace, it has a
concealed ratchet that is selected by rotating a collar
above the chuck; as found, in sound worker shape, perfect
for finer control, it has all the fine features found on
the best braces; ca.WWI production, with normal finish
loss; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t42.jpg $95.00
ST33 Scarce #283 scraper; all original parts, including the grip

ST41 Lee Valley scraping assembly on a ca.1930 #4 smoothing plane;
out of working shop, caked with sawdust, no damage, it will
work as a scraper in its current state, adding an iron makes
it a solid worker plane; top:

ST42 #3C corrugated smoothing plane; a clean worker from early
1930's, with single patent date, tall knob, sweetheart iron,

bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t53.jpg $90.00

staining; original box, with split corners, is tossed in
for free; a fine worker; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t70.jpg $90.00
ST49 #152 adjustable spoke shave; identical to the #151 in func-
tion, it only differs in its handles, which are straight
rather than raised; ca.1930 with sweetheart logo, free of
damage, normal cosmetic wear, it will make a fine worker;

ST51 #42 saw set; a popular design, earlier production, spring
still strong, grungy from sitting idle, normal finish loss;
bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t74.jpg $40.00
ST52 Complete set of hollow and round bottoms, with nosing bottom,
for the #45 combination plane; first nickel plated issue that
matches well with the floral casting vintage of the #45 (one
is available below), they fit all models; as found, with all
proper cutters that have the patent date stamped in them,
there is grunge and superficial rust on the castings, some
of the cutters have pitting up where the adjuster engages,
which doesn't interfere with their working, the #12H cutter
will want its entire face polished; a worker set:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t75.jpg $335.00
ST53 1 1/2" #750 bevel edge chisel with original handle; little
used, general tarnish, stamped with model number; bottom

has been polished, the rosewood cleaned; bottom middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t76.jpg $265.00
ST55 1 1/4" #750 bevel edge paring chisel; saw use, the finish
on the original handle is spotty, the heel is bashed and
a bit of the leather is missing, it can still be used; an
uncommon width, tarnish on the steel, edge should be re-
ground perpendicular to the sides; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t76.jpg $60.00
ST56 New old stock #442 saw set in the original box and with in-
structions; bright green finish with the yellow and red
decal, this is not a common tool as most preferred the #42
over this pressed steel model; dates to the 1930's, this
one can be used and/or collected, there's a small area of
label loss at the "A" of "SAW"; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t82.jpg $90.00
ST57 New old stock #42X saw set in the original box and with in-
structions; a very popular design especially for the finer
toothed saws, it dates to the 1940's; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t82.jpg $85.00
ST58 #65 chamfer spoke shave; an early 1900's product that's free

turning it tightens a tool in the four jaws; normal as
found condition; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t86.jpg $55.00
ST61 #2C corrugated smoothing plane; a clean and solid worker
from the early 1930's, with all original parts, it has a
no-harm (for use) apology, that being the tab at the heel
snapped off long ago, something that happens more often
than it should on these short planes; if you're wanting a
worker, it's guaranteed to be that and at a price less than
a perfect one fetches; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t90.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t90a.jpg $235.00
ST62 Very clean and only in need of a honing #608 Bed Rock
jointer; flat side model with two-line embossed lever cap,
this worker saw very limited use, it has the hard rubber
Board of Education tote on it; a great example with a
no-harm (for use) apology, that being a small area of
corrosion where something dripped on it, it in no way
hinders the plane's use, you can think of it as a single
and very short corrugation, this one will separate the user
versus the collector; top:

ST63 Another clean Bed Rock, this a #606 flat side model with

ST64 Machinist's vise with 2 1/4" hardened jaws; I can never
remember the model number of these things, they are the
design inherited when Stanley bought North Brothers; as
found, superficial grime, most original blue finish re-
mains, a sound worker; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t97.jpg $50.00
ST65 #1 smoothing plane; type 11 vintage with V-logo on the iron,

each type 11 pile of tools; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t97.jpg $975.00
ST66 #278 fillister and rabbet plane; low angle iron is mounted
bevel up so it can work all grain directions; machined sides,
it can be worked on those for custom applications; with all
original parts, no damage, it's a clever plane that doesn't
get the respect it deserves in the woodshop; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t98.jpg $160.00
ST67 #5 nickel plated plumb bob with captive spool; stamped with
Stanley name in the spool, most plating remains, this is

never abused, tarnished from sitting idle; left:

ST69 150th Anniversary try square in the original box; made to
celebrate a major milestone by a company that was producing
garage door openers when its birthday rolled around, the
company thought it a good idea to get back to their roots
by offering woodworking tools rather than a battery powered
opener to commemorate the notable event; in sound shape,
unused, and with paperwork; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t102.jpg $85.00
ST70 #94 cabinetmaker's rabbet plane in the original box; the
largest, and least common, of the four plane series, this
one was a flop in the US but was fairly popular in England
where rabbets, both planes and animals, are larger than
those in the US; free of damage, 95% nickel plating, the
box has separated corners, but no tape, there's some soiling
on the cover; a tough plane to find in nearly new condition,

ST72 #118 low angle block plane; indestructible with its pressed
steel body, this is a fine working plane that proved popular
in trade schools and jobs where rougher use was performed;

and used as is; looks unused, orange finish on the lettering,
minor tarnish spot on sole; top right:

ST76 #51/#52 shootboard and plane; a 100% honest example with
all original parts, no damage, and never messed with, so
many have been cobbled together and/or have replacement
parts; early 1930's production, normal tarnish from
sitting, most japanning remains, the finish on the handle
shows some loss; a fine worker:

complete worker that dates to ca.1905, it has all parts,
spur packet, and screw driver; free of damage, the nickel
plating shows some dulling; most label remains on the box,
the original sliding cover was split and glued, the label
end split, there are normal chips in the top of the box,
it sounds bad, but it's structurally fine; ST52, the
hollow and round bottoms, compliment this model well:

ST78 Four Everlasting chisels that appear always to have been
together; clean workers of 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", and 1";

at the toe; bottom:

no owner marks, can be sharpened and used as is; top left:

https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t14a.jpg $65.00
WP2 Apple double iron door plane; designed to ride within the
groove for the panel, a chamfer is cut to either side of
the groove; good patina that apple takes on over time, it
looks to be manufactured, but no maker's mark on it, only
groups of circles at toe and heel; designed to be separated
so that it can be shimmed for wider grooves, it's a friction
fit arrangement; one wedge broke and was glued together,
it's still a functional plane that is rather uncommon, the
Albany area makers seem to have been the major producers of
these odd planes; top right:

https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t14b.jpg $155.00
WP3 3/8" square ovolo by D*H, a maker whose biography will soon
appear in the EAIA Chronicle; made in the manner of late
18th century planes, most D*H planes have been found in the
state of Maine (a hint); with flat chamfers, relieved wedge,
and length of nearly 10"; made of beech, cleaned, the iron
can be honed and used as is; a fine quality worker; top

WP4 Another D*H plane, this a 1/4" dado; made a bit later than
the previous, it has a beech body, birch wedge for the iron,
and slightly relieved beech wedge for the nicker; cleaned
and in fine worker shape, dados of this width are uncommon,
it's a useful size for interiors of desks, etc.; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t16.jpg $95.00
WP5 Another D*H plane, this a lignum boxed (a sign of Boston
and north earlier planemaking) 1" quirk ovolo and astragal;
cleaned, with owner marks, flat chamfers, it can be used as
is after honing the iron; bottom:

WP6 L.Kennedy panel raiser; the classic early 19th century
style that cuts the sloped field, the bevel, and the fillet
for the frame; in sound worker shape, it cuts the standard
1 1/2" width, an owner added some nickers to score the field
(this was often cut in with a slitting/cutting gauge prior
to using the plane); cleaned, owner marks, it's in solid
worker shape, the fence is designed to be removed for times
when another profile is worked adjacent to it; top:

WP7 7/8" match planes by Ames/Birmingham; as found workers that

thick wood, they are the wooden plane version of the #48;
with owner mark, as found; top two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t18.jpg $75.00
WP8 Slender 7 1/2" exotic wood smoothing plane; a coastal New
England plane that's typical of the shipwright trade, this
if a fine plane with a 1 1/4" double iron; body is a very
dark and dense species, it may be ebony, the original
wedge is a mahogany, these planes normally are a mixture
of woods; in fine worker shape, there is a very shallow
chip forward of the mouth; I really like this plane; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t19.jpg $155.00
WP9 Another exotic wood plane of the same region and profession,
it's an ebony rabbet plane made in the style of Chick and
Tolman, two 19th century planemakers (Maine and Massa-
chusetts respectively); 12" long with 7/8" wide single
iron, the wedge looks to be hickory, it has a split where
it fits into the mortice; typical open mouth for removing
thicker shavings, this is an uncommon form in exotic wood;
bottom:

WP10 Apple toted plough plane with boxwood screw arms, nuts,
washers, and dovetailed wear strip in fence's face; made
by Hermon Chapin's Union Factory, the nose is stamped with
No.239 1/2, the proper numbering for this material; in
fine, nicely cleaned condition, with owner marks in nose,
very minor chips scattered on threads, as is common on
these planes, the wedge shows normal bang marks about the
finial from mallet blows to back it out; a solid worker
and a lot of plane for the money:

WP11 Earlier 5/8" dado with relieved wedges and flat chamfers

https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t25.jpg $85.00
WP12 Old style 3/8" bead; 10" long, yellow birch, early chamfers
that terminate with a gouge cut, the wedge is an old re-
placement that could be better; plenty of life left in this
one, it cuts the proper bead that has a very shallow quirk
which the trained eye can spot on reproduction work that
uses the incorrect later style bead; bottom left:

WP13 1/2" thumbnail (quarter round); yellow birch 9 3/8" body,
the shorter planes are common in central Massachusetts; a
very nice owner made example that saw very little use, it
dates to the late 1700's; cleaned, it's the common detail
used on table edges, lids, etc., most got used up from
years of use, this one escaped that fate; bottom right:

WP14 Double iron sash plane with integral closed tote; more a
great carving than a plane, the amount of work put into
this fine plane is amazing, the tote looks as if it
sprouted out of the stock after being sprinkled with magic
plane dust; 12" long, wide wedges to secure each iron, a
rabbet throat is cut on each side so all the shavings can
be ejected; made by a very skilled craftsman, it's a shame
he didn't sign his work; cuts the standard square ovolo
profile and rabbet on 1 5/8" width stock; nicely re-
finished;

WP17 Horned smoothing plane; beech body with applied hornbeam
sole, it's either German or Austrian; ca.1960, maker button

WP19 3/4" match planes by Watkins/Bradford; centers the groove
on 3/4" thick stock, this is a less common size as they
were made during a time when 7/8" was the standard stock
thickness; workers, with owner mark, the grooving plane's
wedge sits a bit lower than the tongue's as it was pared
a bit for a better fit; bottom two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t44.jpg $85.00
WP20 Technical razee jack plane by Mathieson; 15" long, it was
offered to trade schools to teach the youngsters the fine
art of woodworking (and destroying tools); in solid worker
shape, it failed its mission to teach the youths how to
destroy tools, which is good for you as it survived well
enough that the original decal is present; 2" double iron,
boxwood strike button; top;
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t45.jpg $85.00
WP21 Pair of rule joint planes; designed to cut the fancy joint
were the leaf meets the fixed portion of a table's top,
the planes were never common, and more often than not only
one of the pair is found; owner made, longer than usual at
11", they cut a 1/2" radius, which suits them well for 3/4"
thick stock; waxed, you'll want to remove that so that the
wedges stay put; bottom two:

WP22 Moving fillister retailed by Buck; totally as found and
never messed with, the finish is worn where its users
gripped it; free of damage, it has boxed shoulder, boxwood
wedge to secure the nicker, screwed stop with steel plating
at the sole so it doesn't leave oxidation marks on the work;
owner initials, never altered, it sat for decades unused, a
clean can make it look better, I like the looks of it as is;

WP25 V-grooving plane retailed by George Brown of Wolverhampton;
fully boxed sole cuts a V-shape groove, it can be used for
a variety of purposes like making a decorative detail on

round, etc.; as found, rabbet throat, owner mark, most of
these planes are owner made; bottom left:

WP26 1 1/4" skew rabbet with brass plated sole to form a very

nearly as tight as any infill's; a solid worker in as found
condition; bottom right:

WP27 1" (depth of cut) ogee; earlier Varvill/York with broad flat
chamfers, it's never been messed with and has the original

https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t81.jpg $80.00
WP28 Massive complex molder by G.Berry; roughly 1 5/8" deep by
2 1/4" oversize quirk ogee and cove; a plane that probably
should have been configured as a toted cornice style plane,
it must have been a chore to push this beast, especially
over the last passes; in fine shape, free of modification,
with owner initials:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t94.jpg $185.00
WP29 Single iron sash by Eastburn; working during the first

MS1 Early American framing square dated 1816 and with what's
probably the maker's name Chandler; in fine as found con-
dition, it's graduated to 1/4" increments, even the short
lengths of each leg are graduated; 100% original, the stamps
to number the legs are the same used to date it; owner
initials pricked in it, those, the year, and the maker mark
are on the reverse, which is not graduated; the 1/4" grad-
uations have a dot below them to make it easier to read;
short leg is original length of 14", long leg 24"; early
American squares are not easy to find, this is an especially
nice one, the boy found it in a pile of other squares at a
sale in Vermont, a job well done which guarantees him one
day's worth of tuition at college; top:

MS3 Darling's Patent brace; a unique gizmo for securing a bit
in a chuck where a lever opens/closes the large jaws, the
end of the lever is held in place in one of several de-
pressions bored into the frame; clearly stamped with the
1868 patent date on one face of the chuck and Darling's
name and West Bridgewater, Mass location on the other, this
is a tool that could have only been made in America, where
no dream was impossible for the inventive and capitalistic
mind, it's truly the pinup darling come to life for all
collectors of braces and for many who collect tools; these
rarely show up, this is a nice one; left:

MS5 Book, "The American Patented Brace" by Ronald Pearson; a
useful book that cross-references brace patents by number,
date, and maker, each patent has its drawing; it's long
out of print, I've used my copy countless times when trying
to identify a brace with no information stamped in it; in
sound shape, with some writing on the back pages, cover has
some discoloration from the sun; compliments MS3 well;

MS7 As found 17 1/2 cast panel plane; found in central NH, it's
been in this country for a long time having left Scotland
(probably) when new or nearly so; having sat for decades,
it's dusty and dirty, it will clean to be a fine worker;
2 1/2" iron, lever cap hasn't been moved, stuffing, likely
walnut, is secured to the casting with countersunk screws,
the lever cap is bronze; other than a splinter off the

MS11 New old stock 1/2" mortice chisel with original steel hoop
handle; a Witherby or Winstead Edge Tool product made for
a hardware dealer (don't know which) under their Karpenter
product line, it's every bit good as one branded by the
manufacturer, I see more of their drawknives than chisels;
trust me that this is a great quality chisel; top;

MS12 12" Perfect Handle drawknife; an uncommon size, this is a
fine quality design where the wooden grips are riveted on

MS13 Gibbs 1885 patent adjustable auger; clearly stamped with
his name and patent date, it's a clever way to make one
auger into many simply by swinging a perforated forging
side to side to change the working diameter; in fine

missing one; top:

one, the metal is 17 1/2" from edge to top of socket; as
found, never abused, slight belly so the handle is up and
away from the work, it's in typical condition from sitting
idle, the back wants a polishing, as is normally the case,
this will make a great worker; top;

MS17 Good bark spud with original handle; used to peel bark
efficiently from trees, you'll be barking at your mates
who use a drawknife to do the same, you can do an entire
forest with this thing before they finish a single log;
good age, it has the hooked business end that's sharpened
so you can score the bark and then drive the thing into
it; handle has an ancient check at the socket, it's not
going anywhere; a much nicer than usual example; middle:

MS22 Unique chopping axe with a carved fawn's hoof at the end
of the handle; often called the fawn's foot on a standard
pattern axe/hatchet handle, the maker of this one decided
his axe would mimic reality accurately, he did a bang up
job of it; ignoring the head, made by Lewiston Axe Co. of
Lewiston, PA, that shows mushrooming and pitting, it's the
handle to focus on, which is a finely executed work of folk
art, he even painted the claws; the real thing, and not some
modern copy, it would be good craic to make tracks in the
snow with this where alternate steps point in opposite
directions to throw off would be bambi killers; middle:

MS23 Rare John King's "President Axe"; a combination tool that
is actually a hatchet with a knife that screws into the
handle, there is a claw for pulling nails; made to celebrate
Teddy Roosevelt's trip to Waterville, Maine, John King, a
maker of axes in Oakland, Maine, decided to make a special
tool for the president to commemorate his trip; King presented
it to Roosevelt, and then made a small production run of them,
so far roughly 10 have surfaced, including this one, which is
out of an old collection in Maine; this example saw some use,
it's in solid shape, some small areas of pitting developed,
overall it's free of that; you can read the full story here;

MS26 Phillips patent plough plane; one of the earlier efforts to
make a metallic plough, it underwent a few iterations to
arrive at this model; as found, it has the normal sheared
horn on the rosewood grip (99% of these have this, which
speaks volumes about a design flaw), single cutter, both
depth stops present, it's been cleaned; top:

securing screws to either side of the dial, they are
countersunk within the casting; free of damage, as found,
most japanning remains, 75% of the pinstriping remains;
a decent example of an American classic made in Springfield,
MA; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t21.jpg $275.00
MS28 Finely made rosewood (or similar) panel gauge; to my eye,
nicer than anything made by Bridge City, it's owner made
with a shaped fence that has a rabbet to reference the
edge of whatever you're scribing; cutter is surrounded
by a brass collar, a square head screw secures it on the
22" long arm; nicely cleaned, ready to use, good mass,
and an understated work of perfection; top:

MS29 J.&H.M.Pool 1830 patent geometrical protractor; a finely
made instrument by the two brothers who started together
during the mid-1820's in Easton, MA, their work is regarded
as some of the best American made surveying instruments,
the Pool name is commonly found on spirit levels; clearly
stamped with the Pool name and location, it's also stamped
with the price of $7.00; as found never messed with, dusty
from sitting idle, fortunately it was never cleaned or
polished, some bluing remains on the roughly 18" long blade
that has hand-stamped numbering; brass plated mahogany
'fence', no owner marks, it's a very uncommon item made at
the beginning of the Pool's decades of manufacture; bottom;

MS33 Miniature bronze adjustable mouth spoke shave; similar style
to the Stanley #54, it has a 7/8" wide iron, overall length

and/or finer work; bottom:

MS40 Book, "Woodwork Joints" by Charles Hayward; one the best
books ever written on the topic, with this in hand you
can make almost anything out of wood with simple hand tools,
I found it one of my go-to sources when I started wood-
working long ago; loads of drawings, pictures, and clear
instructions, you'll learn more from this book than you
will at an expensive course; hardcover, with dust jacket,
printed in 1960, it's in fine shape and ready to make you
an expert in no time; bottom:

before, it has a longer body and longer crank and side
handle; earlier production with the star logo, 17" long,
fully functional, you almost may be able to reach China
drilling with this one, but wait until you have govern-

it's an uncommon model; top:

bury, CT, it has 6" and 10" blades, both can be set in-
dependently of each other using dedicated knurled nuts

found and functional, the mahogany 'stuffing' shows wear,
the name and patent date are barely legible, some staining
to that; bottom left:

MS56 Rare Collins marking axe with "US" on the opposite side of
the eye; in nicer than usual condition, it was used to
whack logs/lumber so that they could be tallied for owner-
ship; probably made for the US Forestry Service, you'll
find piles more marking hammers than you will axes, even
fewer by a known quality maker; older handle, overall sound
shape, I whacked all sorts of stuff, including cans, but no
rocks with it and it performs its role very well; middle:

MS60 Birmingham Plane Mfg. Co. #5 size jack plane; a very nice
and 100% damage free example, which is remarkable for this
fragile plane as the frog's serrations are often chipped
due to the backward thrust put on them during use, proving
that this one saw little use; all original parts, as found
and never cleaned, this one is ready for a patented plane
collection where condition is important; top:

beam caliper with vernier scales; stamped "PATENTED" as well
as the Worcester maker of Copeland&Chamberlain, it's in as

MS70 Union Twist Drill (Athol, MA) two-level drill caddy; these
always remind me of fine dinnerware with their looped grip
to carry them, I suppose you could load it up with toothpicks
and place it as the centerpiece with the Wedgewood and the
Baccarat upstaged to the point shame; in sound shape, a bit
grungy from sitting, with a black finish, the caviar's being
served; top right:

genuity and frugality as a scythe blade was worked to be

another like it anywhere; top right:

MS76 Patented small hacksaw with turned mahogany handle; easier
to bake in a cake to spring the innocent from jail, it's
made by Cunneen Co. of New Rochelle, NY; well made, it uses
a clever hinged design to tension the 8" blade; in as found
condition free of damage, the handle is cocked lower than
the line of the blade for more comfortable sawing, which is
a plus for the amount of time it takes to cut prison bars
(not that I know from experience or anything); top right:

MS85 A crazy assemblage of tools all neatly stored in a box made
by a fellow who obviously had a strange obsession with card-
board; this is the first of several tools from this fellow's
estate, the contents of the box are neatly written on the
end of the cover, the fellow even lined it so that the
lettering would be the same size, he had to be a victim of
strict potty training that sadly manifested itself later in
life; within are many tools, though one is missing; an iron
Spofford brace, two hollow augers, a spoke pointer, and many
center bits, all cleaned, some refinished; the maker of the
box even made a cutout on the lift-out 'tray' to make it
easier to do; weird, or what, it's certain no one else ever
perfected custom cardboard box storage like this fellow did,
I can only imagine what his silverware and sock drawers were
like; more creative storage boxes below, and a few left for
next month, this is a good working set, the noted bench dog
must of grown tired being held in cardboard captivity and
flew the box; the purchaser of this group can make the de-
cision whether to continue the box madness or set them free:

MS86 Now for the clamps; imagine boxing your clamps and tying
them together in total perfection to fit neatly in a custom
cardboard box; er, no, don't imagine that lest your head
explode, but this fellow did and he manged to stuff 20
US-made Hartford Tool Co. bar clamps within perfectly cut
dividers within a custom cardboard box; in great worker
shape, imagine what the fellow could have made in wood,
rather than cardboard, if he turned his attention to that
material:

MS87 Guess what's in the box on the left; no, it's not a large
chunk of Velveeta 'cheese', it's much stranger than that;
it's a friggin anvil; who makes a cardboard box for an
anvil; someone frightfully mad, that's who, he may have
thought he was going to be mummified and buried in a
boxamid and wanted his earthly possession ready for him
when Boris, the box God, raises him from his boxed slumber;
regardless of the fellow's mental state, this is a good
quality American cast example that's 8.5lbs and 8.5" long,
it saw very little use, I can't make out the maker's name;
several images in case you want to build a cardboard box
for your 3cwt Peter Wright and then post it on your blog;

MS88 15 old irons, many of which are double irons, with one for
a panel raiser, and two for toothing planes; unfortunately,
he didn't box these, but he did wrap every one of them in
paper after first making a cardboard sheath to fit on each
edge; to reiterate, the guy was nuts; good workers, widest
is 2 3/8", you can make your own planes for them, but I
suggest out of a material other than cardboard; right pile:

MS89 Very clean Disston 20" 10pt crosscut; probably a No.7,
there is no model number on it; from 30's or 40's, it's
still sharp and can be used as is; some very minor stains
from handling, the fellow wasn't obsessed with making card-
board sheaths for his saws; top:

MS90 Another clean and cardboard free Disston saw, this a 24"
8pt crosscut D-7; showing a bit more staining from handling,

MS91 Ice axe by Cornelius Whitehouse of England; dated 1944 and
with the military broad arrow, this one may have been used

MS93 Underhill gutter adze; cuts a 2 3/4" semicircle, today many
like to use these to do general hollowing, even on chair

MS95 Marbles Safety Axe hatchet; not the model with the blade
guard, but the less common standard hatchet pattern; normal
scuffs, it was cleaned, the original fawn's foot handle is
a bit loose, there's a check below the eye; 14 1/2" overall
length, these are much less common than the ones with the
folding guard; bottom:

MS96 Part I of cardboard guy's stones; roughly 30 of them, there
is also a steel lapping plate with various grits in small
bottles; some natural, lots of different shapes, a bargain
over what this pile would cost new, especially when you don't
have to unwrap each in the taped newspaper after cardboard

MS102 Fine dated boxwood handle bow drill with brass cap; a
very nice example that is dated 1871 in the boxwood, this
is a precisely made tool for the finest work, the thick
brass cap unscrews to set the tension, it and the brass
spool act as a flywheel as the 39" long bow is pushed
and pulled during the work; with good patina, it never
was polished, the brass has an even patina, there are
normal knocks and scuffs that have occurred over its
150 year life; countersunk hole at the top of the brass
cap probably functions as an oil port to keep the thing
running like the well oiled tool it is; bow too long
to fit in the image, it's a proper bow, not one made
from a fencing foil; top:

blade allows it to resaw; top:

last century; 9 3/4" from edge to edge, handle is 36" long;
made in Bangor, Maine, home of Ron Cushman who was the

patented saw set; a clever design that features a rotating
anvil with four different sizes; stamped with Noepel name

it shows little signs of use for such an early date; bottom
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t82.jpg $145.00
MS119 Bronze Leach (another whatta name!) patent saw set; a de-
sign that proved quite successful, this is a very well

patina, fully functional, it has more soul than the
original; bottom right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t82.jpg $85.00

than what's normally found with 75% original finish, it
works smoothly ratcheting right, left, or not at all; one
handle can be unscrewed and repositioned at a right angle
relative to the other, this is the best in class; middle:

MS122 Woodrough&McParlin 12" backsaw with the handle screw in
the spine for a more durable fastening; most etching is

world; bottom:

MS123 6 1/2" cast iron level with milled brass oval vial cover;

pre-1900 manufacture; top:

MS127 Odd hollow auger with coarsely 'knurled' brass nut that
locks the shaft in place to control the depth of cut; a
very well made tool, it's only stamped "PATENT" on the
brass 'strap' that secures the cutter (missing in action);
adjustable for different diameters, I believe this is
one of the many different Stearns patents; in sound, as
found condition, first I've offered; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/sep/t85.jpg $165.00
MS128 Great acorn shape plumb bob; a true to life copy, but way
larger than a real acorn (except maybe those from the
Carboniferous Era), the cap is cast to resemble a real
oak cap with crosshatch pattern, it fits over the lead
filled bottom portion that terminates in a point; a bit
of folk art, it's 3 1/2" long, with good age, and in
fine shape; with the size of the cap, it seems like the
maker could have fit a spool in it, he was probably
content to wind the string himself and stuff it in the
large hollow of the cap; top right:

MS137 Kunz #2 smoothing plane; all original parts and green

MS138 Possibly new old stock Disston stair saw with original
retailer tag of the George Worthington hardware firm of

sharp, and ready to use out of the box; bottom:

heels show normal banging; narrowest is 3/16", widest 1 1/2",

MS141 Used once or twice G.I.Mix&Co. No.1 Ex. 1" corner chisel
with original steel hoop handle; nearly 100% original
glazing, with a few minor tarnish spots, this a great
quality worker that was found with the next item, a similar
condition framing chisel; nearly 18" overall length, this
maker produced some of the best edge tools in the US,
Peck, Stow & Wilcox purchased them and continued their
No.1 Ex labeling; corner chisels are rarely found in this
condition; middle:

MS142 G.I.Mix&Co. No.1 Ex. 2" framing chisel; found with the
previous, apart from some tarnish on the top and a small
rust spot on the back, this thing is like new (image doesn't

hoop handle, laminated steel construction, it's better than
anything made new today; 18" long, it's the cleanest framing
chisel I've ever seen of this vintage and quality; bottom:

MS146 Rosewood handle advertising hammer for Rand McNally & Co.
of Chicago for their railroad printing; a very odd thing
to be advertising what it does, it has that info on both
faces of the head; a shapely thing, the polished head is
3 1/4" long, it shows some slight marks on the face from
use (but definitely not driving railroad spikes); 7 3/4"
overall length, this is a very nice and fine quality

jaw precisely and parallel to the fixed jaw; 4 1/2" long

engineered for a common pin vise; right:

date, Disston got a lot of things right, but this one
doesn't show up as being patented that date; 7" hardened
blade, original vial, it was an attempt to enter the
precision tool market but didn't ring up good sales; in
fine as found condition, with normal patina for a tool of
its age; bottom right:

other trade) doweling/tapering tools; well made by an in-

with its characteristic two 'port holes' that each carry
a vial, one for level and the other for plumb; most of
the original finish remains, it's free of cracks and chips,
there is a small rough patch at one corner which is likely
from the casting; an uncommon model; bottom:

MS172 1932 Hubbard, Bartlett & Spencer 2450+ page catalog; the
Chicago retailer that used the OVB brand (Our Very Best),
it's a bible of tools and piles of other stuff that the
company contracted major manufacturers to produce for them;
hardcover, overall fine shape, a couple index pages are
torn, it's almost like going back in time to visit a
hardware store in person; bottom:

MS173 H.D.Smith perfect handle Triple Lever patent screw driver;
a clever design with a grip made of two separate forgings
can be configured in many ways to use as a standard screw
driver, one with the grips at right angles to each other,
and one with both grips at right angles to the tip; in
fine shape, it's a tool normally found on life support,
the tip is the original length and has not been modified;
if you like the Perfect Handle screw drivers, this one
will drive you to Perfect Handle nirvana; top:

MS174 Odd rosewood scraper with left and right profiles; a very
well made tool that's manufactured, it has the classic
curved body typically found on the scrapers used by gun-
smiths, this one may have been used by that trade; regard-
less it's a rare tool and in fine shape, a brass plate
secures the two blade; 11 1/2" long, I find quite a bit
of the standard scrapers of this design as I live in an
area where lots of arms manufacturers were locate, I've
never seen another like this one; middle:

cast head has great patina, the design patent number is

world, face shows some minor bang marks, it's way better
condition than what's normally found; bottom:

MS176 Curved inshave for working hollows; well made with a 3 1/2"
diameter working edge; two wooden handles, one with a
check, but firmly attached, it can be honed and used as
is despite normal pitting that tools like this 'grow' from
sitting idle; probably English manufacture and of fine
quality; top left:

quality, it's well suited for finer worker; bottom:

MS180 Small sweep ratcheting brace that can be converted to a
screw driver; the Oxwall Speed-O-Matic, a name that sounds
like it raced at Brooklands, it's nevertheless a clever
tool that has a ratchet below the handle, the crank portion
can be removed to allow a bit to be swapped; with an
original Phillips screw driver bit, it originally came
with roughly five other bits; fairly uncommon, looks to
be 1940's production, it works as it should; top:

handle, it has a long bevel edge blade that can clean
the sides of mortices deep and shallow; 17 1/2" long,

some 20 years ago; guaranteed to be a fine quality worker;

slid up/down and rotated, its position locked with a thumb
screw; 5" long, riveted wooden grips are either walnut or
mahogany; top right:

MS185 Rare 30" saw vise; originally designed for the longer
crosscut saws for felling/cutting trees, now they are
popular for handsaws; two screws to secure it to the
bench top, the hinged outer jaw is tightened with a knob
that resembles an old water faucet's; a serious bit of
kit for the serious saw sharpener, it's a bulky and heavy
thing that will cost a fair bit to send west of the
Mississippi:

MS189 Older Knew Concepts 4" (usable blade length) fret saw with
tension lever; used a few times, it has the red finish
handle, the blade's locking screws are plastic with lugs,
the one closest to the handle has just one lug, I don't
know if it was designed with way (my gut tells me this is
the case) or one snapped off, it's no matter as it works
well as is; I don't believe this size is still offered, it
was found with the jeweler's hammers above; bottom:

well engineered tool, it's model No.207; the disk on the
clamping screw was removed, many are this way to that they
bite wood better; a fine worker:
