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 An unmolested Hardt's Patent smoothing plane; patented
August 8, 1893, Hardt was in Yuba City, California where
he hatched this crazy idea for a plane; perhaps inspired
by the #72 chamfer plane, Hardt's design allows the section
forward of the iron to move over an incline to set the
depth of cut, something that may have been lost on him
with the Bailey-style frog that has the depth adjusting
knob; his idea is not without some merit as increasing the
depth of cut also increased the width of the mouth, which
if often the desired result; conversely, the mouth's width
is decreased as the depth of cut is decreased; problem is,
no one thought this a eureka design and the plane failed
perfectly in the plane market; while the plane is embossed
at the toe with his patent date, Hardt bought many of the
parts from Sargent&Co. - the knob, frog, iron (which is
stamped with Sargent's name and location), lever cap, and
tote, maybe Hardt may have been embarrassed by his design
and could place some of the blame of this crazy idea on
Sargent; Hardt didn't account for the plane not cutting
as planned simply by sliding the front casting upward as
the main casting, to either side of the iron, would inter-
fere with cutting as intended, the sole's edges (of the main
casting) are filed with a chamfer along its length (I've
seen this on the other few Hardt's, it was either factory
done or a necessary user tweak); in fine shape, the plane
suffers cracks at the mouth, this one is free of that; a
fine, as found example, ex-Inner Sanctum, and quite a
difficult plane to find; if you're a subscriber to the Flat
Sole Examiner, don't look at this plane as it may make your
head explode, it also proves that the California has been
offering up some crazy ideas for at least 130 years:

WP12 Pair of toted match planes with steel plated fences for
more accurate work; by Copeland, designed to center the
groove on 7/8" thick stock, they can work 3/4" to 1" thick
stock equally well; the wooden version of the #48 tongue

workers, one has normal checking that's going nowhere;

profile for sash, a bevel, it can work a range of thick-
nesses via the two countersunk screws within brass bush-
ings; in as found shape, with owner mark, never cleaned or
altered; Barton was a toolmaking juggernaut for decades
offering a broad range of tools that were unmatched until
Stanley came on the scene; bottom:

the toe and an open tote at the heel, each sits lower
than the area where the wedge and iron's mortice is; in

was made by Sandusky for that retailer; 10" long; top:

WP18 1" square, square ovolo, square by Moon of London; an odd
profile in sound worker shape, the square at the right was

owner mark, some banging at the heel:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t34.jpg $125.00
WP19 Mathieson 1/2" square and cove; a simple and attractive

WP20 Unused pair of Bickford side rounds; made in the manner
of 18th century beech planes, the compliment a set of

WP21 Ulmia fillister; adjustable steel fence and stop, with
nicker to score the wood, a grip is below the iron; little

honing the iron; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t38.jpg $110.00
WP22 Shouldering plane (sometimes called a dovetail plane) by
Malloch&Son/Perth; a plane peculiar north of Hadrian's
Wall, most are owner made, this one is by a quality maker;
dusty from sitting in a working shop, it has a steel plated
side and portion of the sole where it forms the V-shape cut;
a nicker iron to score the wood, and in much nicer condition
than normally found; owner mark, no one is quite sure what
the found is, but I suspect it's for working a tenon's
shoulder to clean it up to its corner with the tenon's cheek;
avery nice example; middle:

left and right, never cleaned, with owner mark, a small

grain change causes tear-out; a fine worker; top left:

WP27 Adjustable door or double bevel plane by Bensen&Crannell;
as nice as they come, maybe used a couple times, it cuts
a bevel left and right, the middle of the plane runs in a
groove cut for the panel; made like a common sash plane,
diamond shape brass bushings surround the countersunk
screws that used to set the width of cut a la a sash plane;
a style of plane that seems to be peculiar to the Albany
area of New York, a more elaborate example patented by M.B.
Tidey, et al, created their overkill example around the
Finger Lakes region of NY; regardless of the maker, none
are common as they are so special purpose; a relic and
likely the best example of its kind extant; top right:

WP28 Mander&Dillin patented chamfer plane; a great example,
barely used, stamped with makers' names, Philadelphia
location, patent applied for, and the 1885 patent date;
not a breakthrough design, one of the 'inventors' was
from England and brought that country's box chamfer de-
sign to the US and patented it; no owner marks, never
messed with, as nice as they come; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t60.jpg $235.00

always together, save for the #8, which is a replacement
by Mathieson; free of modification, and as found, normal
grunge from sitting, like all wooden planes that have sat
for decades unused, the irons have some rust, the faces
want to be cleaned/polished; a nice set:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t80.jpg $690.00
WP34 Toted solid boxwood screw arm plough plane by Arrowmammet
Works of Middletown, CT; a bit larger size than what's
normally found, it has great patina; offered as a worker,
the horn of the tote has a splinter off it, there's is
some checking on the right cheek about the mortice (still
holds the wedge fine, boxwood is amazing how it can check),
and the small hold screw for the depth stop is MIA (most
plough planes don't have this 'feature' as it's rather
pointless); sounds like a woofer, but it's not, it's still
100% usable as is; top:

WP35 New old stock E.C.E scrub plane; the popular German horned
style, it's roughly the size of a #40, the 1 1/4" width
iron is ground with a radius, it can be honed and used as
is; does what the #40 does but for less money; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t89.jpg $70.00
WP36 Exotic wood smoothing plane; a denser and heavy dark wood,
perhaps lignum, it's an owner made plane typical of coastal
New England's countless shipwrights; 9" long, 1 5/8" double
iron, free of damage about the wedge mortice, strike button
on heel, expected minor wear on sole, it will make a fine
worker; top left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t99.jpg $95.00
WP37 Adjustable 18th century dovetail plane by John Green; very
uncommon plane for this era, it features a sliding fence
and stop that's adjacent to the nicker; skewed iron allows
working crossgrain, the fence sets the side of the dove-
tail; in fine shape, with owner mark; bottom:

WP38 Shipwright's 18" jack/fore plane with the classic razee
pattern where the surface behind the iron is lower than it
is forward of the iron, this design is believe to allow
the plane to work easier on non horizontal surfaces; as
found, barely used, the stock is a coarse grain exotic with
an oak look, the closed tote a mahogany, the mixing of
woods on these planes is the rule rather than the exception;
wedge is a replacement, you can fashion one out some other
exotic to compliment the plane; 1 1/2" double iron by Buck
Bros. forms a very fine mouth; some knots in the stock,
with normal checks, the plane shows no real signs of use;
dates to pre-WWI, it'll make a great worker as is; top:

WP39 22" Mathieson jointer; little used, dry surface, still with

MS92 Colorful pocket catalogue, the "Sawyer's Own Book" by
Emerson, Smith & Co. of Beaver Falls, PA; a catchy cover
that shows a man's head glancing to the right, an "'S" and
arrow is there for someone who has never opened a book,
pointing to the edge and inviting the eyes to open it; the
bottom of the cover states "if you don't use saws, hand
this to someone who does", the marketing department for
this company could have worked equally well for P.T.Barnum;
dated 1887, it contains some useful info for saws, touts
the company's circular, band, gang, and crosscut (for two
people) saws as well as saw tools like gummers, swages,
and mandrels, files, a diamond holder to dress emery
wheels, and, of all things, a speed indicator; all sorts
of testimonials you can reference, but, remember, dead
men tell no tales; 120 pages of info, illustrations, and
bluster, there's even verbiage for cutting frozen timber
and the blow-by-blow results of the $100 of gold paid
during the 1874 Great Sawing Contest that ABC's Wide World
of Sports must have missed; in great shape noting a couple
dogeared pages at the back probably due to countless people

MS202 Veritas low angle jack plane; used once or twice and then
forgotten, it can be honed and used as is; I assume the

MS202 Dixon No.12 double horn stake anvil; found with the pre-
vious stake anvils, it's 12" long with a tapered flat
horn and a tapered round horn; in little used shape, with
some tarnish that will polish, it'll be a great worker;
