If you have questions about what the Stanley numbers are, you can
look the planes up on Blood&Gore:
http://www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan0.htm
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.
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 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.
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 propeller-
head, 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 Manufactured skew rabbet with cutter by D.Lovejoy&Son of
Lowell, MA; these planes shows up every now and then
around here, all are identical, with most having a cutter
from the Lowell maker known to have produced planer
cutters; definitely manufactured, they are very well made,
it's uncertain which manufacturer made them; out of the
Inner Sanctum, it's likely the best example to surface,
apart from some dust and tarnish on the cutter and casting,
it's like the day it was made, it would be difficult to
find a nicer example; 9 1/2" long, the delicate closed
tote is free of any damage and retains most of its original
finish; a unique looking plane that looks to date ca.1875:

mark, clear maker stamp:

but with owner marks, it was nicely cleaned; late 1700's
production with broad flat chamfers:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t5.jpg $80.00
WP4 Odd Griffiths/Norwich cove, quirk ogee, and bead; sized for
1/2"+ thick stock, there are a lot of twists and turns for
such a compact profile; triple boxed, it's difficult to
photograph well:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t6.jpg $155.00
WP5 DeForest/Birmingam (Connecticut) rosewood screw arm plough;
generally thought to be America's best wooden plane maker,
he advertised a solid gold plow plane in his catalogue;
with solid rosewood body, fence and wedge, the arms, nuts
and washers are boxwood, but it looks like they were finished
to resemble rosewood/ebony, that finish is mostly worn off,
though one washer is ebony and matches the boxwood exactly;
a fine looking plane, with owner mark, the wedge has a nice
two color grain, there's some normal roughness to it:

nice 8" plane that looks to be rosewood, it's free of the
common damage about the wedge, fit with a 1 1/2" Charles
Buck double iron; lignum strike button, it will make a fine
worker, it's much nicer than the usual shipwright's planes,
of which this is one; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t19.jpg $140.00
WP8 50+ wooden wedges from my late friend's massive wooden
plane collection; most are mid-19th century, though there
are five good 18th century wedges in the pile; good for
those who restore or make wooden planes:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t35.jpg $155.00
WP9 14" jack plane likely made by Addison Heald as it has his
common pinned wooden wedge with thumb screw; a worker with
minimal wear, 1 3/4" double iron, it's light enough for
hours of planing fun without tiring you; cutters face wants
polishing; top:

WP10 4 1/2" long toothing plane by Willey/Leeds; with a removable
curved sole so it can also work hollows, it like was used

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t36.jpg $95.00
WP11 Laminated scrub plane made by Steve Knight (as I recall),
a member of the oldtools listserv that evolved from the
usenet rec.woodworking (rec.norm, as I called it) cesspool
roughly 30 years ago, before all the modern tool experts
and dodgy tool dealers knew how to turn on a computer; made
at a time when anyone with an idea to make handtools, in-
cluding yours truly, had a go at it hoping to resurrect the
handtool way of life (handtool fundamentalism, if you will)
after eschewing the plug it in and turn it on abNORMal way
of processing/butchering wood that had a stranglehold on the
hobby/trade, this tool is one of many offered during that
time; while I find it quite unsightly, many raved at its
utility, it has managed to survive well after having seen
careful use; 10 3/4" long, with what looks to be ash and a
strip of an exotic as the sole for durability, it has a
very unconventional grip; it's almost like setting The
Waybac Machine to last century prior to the Y2K panic with
this one; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t46.jpg $125.00
WP12 J.Taber toted double iron sash plane; a very nice example
from ca.1800, relieved wedges and broad round chamfers, it

file, a timeless pattern; 12" long, never abused, with
owner mark; top:

(of Milford, NH) for Lowell, MA retailer Frederick Taylor;
with rosewood wedge and closed tote, this a fine example
of Heald's work, his quality was recognized by many fine
retailers, including Wilkinson of Boston, a firm that sold
only the best tools; carefully used, with some very minor
chipping at the mouth, a shallow splinter along the toe's
edge, no owner mark, the 2" double iron is by Moulson
Brothers; nice grain pattern, a lignum strike button at the
toe; top:

WP14 Earlier cooper's croze with smith-made ram's horn wing nuts
to secure the body to its 19" long body/fence; dates to the
early 19th century, it's very well made and saw careful use,
a later owner added two friction fit pegs to allow cutting
a different diameter, the plane is used to cut the groove
at the top/bottom of the staves in which the head is fit;
a uncommon design and one that didn't get the daylights
beat out of it; bottom:

that was lightly cleaned, it never saw much use; uncommon
in this size; owner mark; bottom:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t56a.jpg $140.00
WP18 Pair of snipe bills by Marley/New York (with his Elm St.
address); workers that saw little use, one has a chunk of
boxing missing well back from the mouth, it has no bearing

snipe bills are uncommon; top two:

WP22 Toted 2 1/4" skewed rabbet; with boxed edge, two nickers,
this is a very uncommon pattern for a rabbet; by S.Hills
of Springfield, MA; cleaned, some staining, minor checks,
will make a sound worker; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t58.jpg $120.00
WP23 Massive 1 3/4" dado; a very well made, and highly special-
ized one for larger work, both wedges are relieved, the
tote is very well done with curvatures in all three
dimensions; 14" long, nicely cleaned, owner made, and in
sound worker condition; a unique plane that can't be
improved at all; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t59.jpg $155.00
WP24 3/4" (hair shy) dado; owner made ca.1800, it's well made,
the body is 10 1/4" long; cleaned, friction fit stop, with
BARKER stamped where the maker mark normally is; sole isn't
curved, as the camera distortion suggests; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t59.jpg $85.00
WP25 Rare matching set of four Sandusky Tool Co. "SPECIAL" planes
for weatherstripping; in nearly new condition, these planes
have steel plating that can be adjusted to the required
dimensions; these will show up one or two at time and but
not in this condition, most are rusted and/or modified, I
can't recall seeing a group this numerous; rare opportunity
for collectors of wooden planes or Sandusky output:

WP26 1/2" match planes; unmarked, but unmistakable a Sandusky
Tool Co. production; steel plated fences, barely used, they
were found with the previous group; a good worker set for
cutting tongue and groove joints; top left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t61.jpg $95.00
WP27 1 3/4" (hair wider) skewed rabbet by C.Warren/Nashua; with
boxed shoulder, nicker, owner mark, nicely cleaned, a nice
worker; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t61.jpg $110.00
WP28 Kennedy, Barry & Way/N.York reverse ogee and bevel, it's
designed to cut the profile flat on the wood's surface a la
a cornice plane, it likely was used with another molding
plane to create a more complex profile; as found, never
cleaned, the cut is 1 5/8" wide; an uncommon pattern for
an American plane; bottom:

for free; top left:

found with previous; bottom:

WP32 Chapin-Stephens adjustable sash plane; nicely cleaned,
little used, it cuts the common square ovolo profile, the
plane can work a wider range than the standard sash plane
making it useful when different widths are needed; screws
in bushings allow for easier adjustment; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t63.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t63a.jpg $115.00
WP33 Bensen&Crannell adjustable door plane; designed to run in
the door frame's groove (cut by a plough plane), it cuts
a chamfer on both sides, the plane can be adjusted to fit
snugly in different groove widths; a style plane that seems
unique to the Albany area, it's well made and little used;
likely was used; nicely clean, this maker produced quality
products; bottom:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t63b.jpg $265.00
WP34 Earlier L.Kennedy/Hartford 1 1/8" skewed rabbet; with flat
chamfers, it's his earliest working period; cleaned, sound
condition, amazingly it never had a nail or screw put into
it; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t64.jpg $110.00
WP35 C.H.Dennison/Freeport, ME concave V (for lack of a better
description) molding plane; with rabbet mouth, this is a
rare maker from a place where everything is L.L.Bean; as
found, clear mark despite it being double struck, with
owner mark; bottom left:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t64a.jpg $185.00
WP36 28" shooting plane with two opposing irons; made like the
Warren's Patent except it's wood, not iron, it may in face
be his design offered at a lower cost; as found, great
amount of mass, it cuts left or right with skewed cutters,
the turned handle is centered on the stock; little used,
some long inactive worm holes in no way compromise its
use, the heels of the irons, where they are exposed above
the wedges, show pitting, the business end, as well as
most of the length, is free of that; a good alternative to
the more expensive iron examples:

WP37 Miniature smoothing plane with a 1 7/8" wide cutter than
has a New York maker/retailer mark stamped in it, I can't
easily make out the surname, it's Jacob 'something'; 3 3/4"
long, in sound worker shape, it's great for working small
areas; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t67.jpg $95.00
WP38 J.R.Tolman/Hanover/Mass curved shiphawk plane with steel
plated sole, something I've never seen on such a plane;
made by a maker who supplied the shipbuilding trade, it's
believed these planes were used to cut in the waterline on
the ship's hull; as found, free of damage, dry finish, the
light areas managed to lose their finish, some oil will
take care of that; well made, owner mark, and certainly
rare as the standard issue planes are quite uncommon; these
planes can be used with hollows and rounds to cut in V
tracks in which rounds can reference and to make the right
angle cuts found on some complex profiles; top:

WP39 1" dado retailed by Sargent & Co.; made by Sandusky for the
New Haven, CT company, it's as found, with a dark patina,
it saw little use as some original pencil marks are on the
heel; an uncommon width and certainly a much lower cost
than the #39 1" by Stanley; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t71.jpg $95.00
WP40 3/8" dado by Chapin's Union Factory; found with previous,
with normal grime from sitting for 100+ years, it will make
a sound worker; bottom left:

WP41 5/8" dado by Greenslade; another as found example with usual
grime, minor staining, an uncommon width; bottom right:

WP42 Jo.Fuller/Providence moving fillister; 14" long, made of
yellow birch, it has dovetailed nickers on the left and
right cheeks, the fence, which is may be a very early
addition, is secured with two countersunk screws; in sound
condition, the tote is free of damage, two small screw
holes on the right cheek when a stop was needed for a
custom job; never cleaned, owner mark, a lot of mass, flat
chamfers at toe and heel, rounded along the length; top:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t72a.jpg $235.00
WP43 N.S.Hosmer (of Concord, MA) cornice plane; a very nice
late 18th century plane with broad flat chamfers, it cuts
a 2 3/4" wide quirk ogee, astragal, and cove of very
pleasing proportions; the Hosmer family were cabinetmakers
and housewrights around Concord, this plane was found with
two others that both have the Concord location stamped in
them, unfortunately they lack irons, they also have known
planemaker stamps on them; this one has two different
Hosmer stamps in the beech body, at first I though this
was made by one of the Littles, but the tote has two
through pegs to secure it to the stock, something the
Littles didn't do, I suspect this one was made by Hosmer;
as found, with centuries of grime, helper handle, it's a
fine example of an early plane from an area not known for
many professional planemakers; bottom:

WP44 18th century jointer with the characteristic decorative
offset tote that made it appearance on Dutch planes, then
English planes, then American planes; made of yellow birch,
the 24 1/2" slender stock survived quite well, many take
on a wedge shape from decades of use, this one escaped
that; as found, never cleaned or altered, especially for
a later iron, this one has its original 2" wide Newbould
single iron; ancient rosehead nail at the tote's toe to
secure it, the tote survived very well, many are often
cracked, checked, and/or chipped; some bashing of the stock
forward of the throat from a mallet used to back the iron
off; all in all, a fine example that could only be made
better with a known planemaker's mark, planes such as this
rarely come along in this condition; bottom:

WP45 3/16" cockbead by Kinear; fully boxed, little used, with

the best work; in much nicer than usual condition; bottom

MS1 Cooper's adze with 3 1/2" cutting edge, it's larger than
typical; in as found condition, it will clean easily to be
a fine worker, it saw little use, remnants of the japanning
is present on the underside of the forging; handle firmly
attached, hammer face free of chipping, these are handy
tools for shaping; likely a Barton or White product, a

MS4 Three unused and still caked in protective cosmoline/wax
carving chisels by Buck Bros.; new old stock, it's difficult
to give exact dimensions due to the coating, if you're into
carving chisels it's probable you don't anything this clean;
one is a 1" shallow sweep gouge, another looks to be 3/4"
shallow sweep, and the last, with its wrapping paper is a
front bent spoon 1" and is very greasy; all guaranteed to
clean well and be fine workers; top pile:

MS8 Starrett metal holder for their punches and nail sets;
with catalog numbers at each hole, it helps to keep your
messy tool drawer a distant memory, the catalog numbers
changed over time, so perhaps your mind will go a bit
messy mapping what goes where; formally the boy's own
user, where he stored screw drivers, he upgraded his with
one in a bit better cosmetic condition, the image shows
the worse side, the other side is much nicer; bottom:

MS10 Bronze rabbeting shave with adjustable fences; cuts left
and right, it has two adjustable fences to set the working
width; fit with a ca.1919 2" Stanley cutter, most of these
shaves were made by coachmakers for their own use, this one
no exception, it is much nicer than most; very handy for
working curved rabbets; second from top:

scribe, ready to go; bottom left:

didn't show well in the image, it also has initials pricked
in the wood; top right two:

spots; left group:

MS14 Five barely used, if at all, framing chisels by Sorby; a
graduated set from the same pile of Lie-Nielsen stuff
offered last month, the guy bought stuff and never used
most of it; widths of 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/2", and 2", the
last three with bevel edges, all have steel hoops on the
handles to withstand mallet blows; these were bought roughly
15 years ago; left five:

with the previous stuff, in a tool roll, they likely are
unused or barely so; widths of 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 7/8", 1",

the Blue Chip style;

haps with a lineage that includes the Rubik's Cube, this
one can be twisted and turned to your heart's content;
usual great quality by a company that made the very best

can be used as is; top left:

this style that measure 14 1/2" long, these were popular

here for my primitive brain to unpack, there's also stuff

1872 patent; bottom:

MS64 Cocobolo striking knife made by yours truly; long out of
stock, it was the first faithful copy of an old style knife,
many hopped on the bandwagon after this made its debut over
25 years ago; barely used, one found in an organ builder's
tool chest inspired it; bottom right:

MS65 Clark&Williams/1998 miniature wooden router; a nice tool
of a clever design that merges a plane body with a router
base; a rare tool by the makers during their early years,
it's 2 5/8" long with a 1/4" cutter; a small flake off
the body from careless storage, it'll work as good as new;
perfect for finer work, small hinges, carving backgrounds,
etc.; top left:

MS66 Pair of layout tools; a well made exotic wood awl that
probably was made by a toolmaker ca.2000; a Richard Kell
dovetail template made of brass; and a burnisher made from

great quality; top right group:

MS69 Yankee No.2101 10" sweep brace; North Bros. production with
hard rubber head that has "YANKEE" in red stamped, it saw
normal use, it can be used as is; a very rugged brace and
one of the few things that can withstand Tsar Bomba; bottom

MS70 Massive Barr Tool Co. drawknife with 9" edge; barely used,
this thing could double as handle bars on a 1928 Indian
Scout; fine quality, no longer offered at this length,
capable of peeling bark, paint, barnacles, and skin, if
you decide to throw it, and it boomerangs back at you,
remember to duck; top:

MS71 Independence Tool Co. dovetail saw, serial #14, making it
the 14th made; made prior to Lie-Nielsen's acquisition,
it's essentially a handmade saw by a partnership of Peter
Taran and yours truly to recreate the fine saws of yore,
it inspired countless others to try their hand at sawmaking
when they recognized its success; made at a time when
the rebirth of handtooling was in its infancy, this saw
was instrumental in the resurrection of handtools that
now populate today's market; barely used, well cared for,
if you missed the last train out of Theresa, NY, here's
a chance to relive the wild days of late 20th century
toolmaking; middle:

MS72 Another Independence Tool Co. saw, but by Lie-Nielsen, it
was made right after Lie-Nielsen bought the line, they
stamped it with the same serial number as the previous;
a bit larger than the original, it's 11" long and with
14ppi; carefully used, with leather case, I believe these
are nicer than what's currently offered; bottom:

MS73 Four Clico spoon bits and reamer; made to satisfy the re-
surrection of the Windsor chair making, these are barely

bored on the stylish chairs; top left group:

MS74 Pair of brass head mallets with exotic wood handles; well

confused with the lower quality new stuff today:

MS77 No.1 Automatic Drill in its original tin case and with
six original points; made by Goodell Brothers of Greenfield,

very popular design, it's great at boring small diameter
holes; left:

MS78 Pair of marking gauges; an earlier Veritas with disk for
marking a variety of materials, and an owner made all steel

MS82 Gunmetal shoulder plane based upon G.Miller's pattern, he
of London; with a pile of castings here, from long ago,
this is one of the very few that were machined and fit
with a Hock iron, someday I'll have my son machine the rest
here; stuffed with ebony, steel sole, mouth as find as can
be, the front of the wedge, where it's within the throat,
needs finishing; good mass, it'll make a fine worker at a
price far less than a Miller; bottom:

MS83 Five carving chisels with nicely worked handles, each well
done by an owner, perhaps as an aid to identify their cut
by sight or feel; different makers, some owner made, a

widest a 7/8" straight by James Marsh; these are nice;

MS84 Three unusual bent gouges, one by Butcher, others by Ash;
with original matching handles, made ca.1875, always to-

MS85 "Pat 09" crazy combination tool; likely with more tools
of any, this cast iron thing has a corkscrew, pliers,
nippers, knife sharpener, can opener, cork press, tack
puller, wrench, hammer, etc. all on its 7" length; with
no damage, most japanning, it still has the sliding bit
for opening cans which is often missing; an experimental
model was in the works during the 1970's to add a cap
snaffler, pocket fishing rod, a microphone, but not a
slap chop; top left:

MS86 Rare patented folding drawknife to fit in the pocket;
looking like a common pocketknife, it was made by a
local and notable knifemaker, Aaron Burkinshaw, an
immigrant from Sheffield, England who established his
business in Pepperell, MA; patented by J.W.Peirce on
February 29, 1876, the 'blade' with a roughly 2 3/4"
long cutting edge, folds back on the handle that looks
to have rosewood grips riveted on it, a loop at the
far end serves as a grip; in great, little used con-
dition, it's clearly stamped with the patentee's name,
the Burkinshaw name is stamped at the hinge; a clever
design with a bit of a problem should the edge make a
sudden stop (from a knot or whatever) and it folds
back on itself, woe to whatever finger(s) are nearby
when that happens; a great thing, the second I've seen,
this was made about 15 miles from where this list
originates, the image fails to capture its true great
condition; bottom:

MS88 Pair of clean and little used hollowing/shaping spoke
shaves; cast iron, different sweeps, they have their full
width cutters; many now use them as a travisher, wooden
shoe lasts were the primary objects for these, they can
work anything that requires curvature, chairmakers find
them quite useful; top right two:

MS89 Windsor beader; the second model, which proved to be the
best selling of the three designs, the cutter's carrier

never had the ebonized finish; single circular cutter
with six different profiles; bottom:

MS90 Pair of useful metallic rules; a 12" Starrett No.414 that
is graduated to 1/8" and 1/16" increments, it saw barely
any use; and a Chesterman two-foot, one-fold, No.5307 brass
rule with inches on one face, metric on the other, it es-
caped the buffing wheel that seem to fascinate most English
tool collectors; both can be used as is; top two:

MS92 Uncommon E.M.Boynton/New York 14" backsaw; as found, free
of damage, with split nut screws, it has the standard
pattern handle, not the typical one where a handle screw
is secured through the spine; full plate, little used, I
can see a fair bit of the original etching under the grime;

MS93 S.W.Palmer's patent on a Young&McMaster/Auburn/NY 22"
jointer; patented February 3, 1857, it was one of several
early patents that made setting the iron easier on common
wooden body bench planes; with a double iron by W.Field, of
Pawtucket, RI, he later partnered Jeremiah Arnold, the two
renamed their partnership to The Providence Tool Co.; in
fine shape, inlaid marquetry strike button forward of the
mouth, a slender splinter off the tote's horn, some red
finish in the throat (perhaps as an owner mark), the plane
managed to survive much nicer than most; top:

MS94 Six Irwin pattern twist augers in their original box; the
smaller number set with sizes commonly used, it's as
found, with normal cosmetic wear, all are usable; diameters

missing in action, some of the brads on the hinges are
likewise; top:

MS95 Smaller scorp with unique carved handle featuring a head;
scorp measures 1 1/4" at its fullest width, the head looks
to be mahogany, the curled long locks resemble a barrister's
wig, someone put in a fair bit of effort to make this, it's
certain you'll have a good grip on it due to all the
contours; left:

MS96 Another carved handle tool, this an owl's head on a 1/2"

the previous; right:

MS98 Goodell-Pratt bench vise with 2" jaws; best quality and a
solid worker in need of a clean, it quickly clamps onto
the bench with large screw; jaws cannot be misaligned due
to the double alignment rods, one above and one below the
adjusting screw; top right:

MS100 Spiers/Ayr parallel side dovetailed steel smoothing plane
with rosewood stuffing; a never messed with and 100%
original example that's free of the common damage, it has
some minor superficial rusts spots from sitting; 2 1/8"
double iron by Ward&Payne, it, its cap iron, and the bed
are all stamped with the assembly number "2", extra fine
mouth, with so many dodgy dogs out there, this one is a
contender for best of show after a clean; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t76.jpg $585.00
MS101 Norris A5 smoothing plane; as found, with previous, it
has some rust from sitting, the worst of it is shown in
the image, the sole and other side are way nicer, what's
present will clean as it was stored in an unheated area
and formed from warm and cold seasonal changes; all
original parts, plenty of life left to the 2" iron, the
finish is nearly 100%, this will clean well to make a
fine worker; nearly every cabinetmaker in post-war
England had one of these; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t76.jpg $385.00
MS102 20 1/2" cast jointer with mahogany knob and tote, it's
fit with a 2 1/2" I.Sorby parallel iron; I suspect this
is manufactured as I've seen others that are identical,
there is no maker mark on any I've seen; found with the
previous, it was likewise stored in an unheated area and
has general superficial rust that will clean, most of
the japanning remains; very well made, loads of mass,
with owner mark, wood will run for cover when this is
nearby; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/feb/t77.jpg $295.00
MS103 Auger handle for driving larger diameter augers; favored
by timberframers and similar trades, one handle unscrews
to accept the auger, when tightened back, a rotating
collar adds more pressure to keep the handle secured
tightly; a worker, with owner name branded in each handle,
I believe this is a James Swan product; bottom:

MS104 Pair of double arm marking gauges; both fine workers that
can be used as is; a Stanley #93 that dates to ca.WWI,

marking and for marking mortices; the Stearns has some
minor grime on it; top right two:

MS106 3 1/2" slick by Underhill Edge Tool; with its original
handle, this is an earlier production that saw very little
use, it has normal storage tarnish on the top, the backside
is much nicer with roughly 50% of the original surface
bright; 27" overall length, end of handle shows some rough-
ness and very harmless checks from when it was banged with
a mallet, using it properly by pushing it will no make the
handle worse; will easily clean to be a great worker; left:

of patterns, the widest a 1 1/2" spoon gouge is owner made
and with figured maple handle; most are Addis, some Buck
Bros., a few owner made; overall very clean and bright,
some with localized rust spots, the closeup images suggest
dark finish due to camera's aversion to shiny metal, all
are sound workers:

MS119 Instant collection of three early hammers; the nicest with
straps integral to the head, it will make a fine worker
for those who want to recreate driving nails the old way;
another with oval eye and handle wedge in it, there is
chipping on the claws; the last another strap where those
are separate from the head, they are loose, and it's a
good one for recreating the head flying off the handle;
all handles show some chipping/checks, they are still
strong give their age and the rough work they performed;
