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 The boy found his finger unexpectedly squeezed in this
very rare Thomas Hall patent quick adjustment miniature
vise as manufactured by the Charles Parker Co. of Meriden,
Connecticut; patented on June 24, 1873, Hall hailed from
Florence, MA, a section of Northampton (and a location
that shares the same name of me missus's grandmother,
which she never fails to mention whenever we travel
through the place), the vise is similar to the popular
quick adjust vise patented in 1864 by A.P.Stephens; the
Hall design is orders of magnitude rarer, I have only
seen a couple of the large Hall patents, which have sold
for upward of $1000.00, this is the first miniature model
I have seen, it may be unique; with jaws of just 2" wide,
it's embossed with the Hall name and date, the Parker name
and location, it saw very little use and is fully oper-
able; a design that never caught on, despite the marketing
power of Parker (known more for its world class shotguns
and larger standard machinist's vises), the design seems
to be well executed but suffers what I think is a major
flaw, that being the locking lever sticking outward,
toward the worker, below the jaw, it must have got in
the way during use; having stated that, it's a more
complex design, 'pumping' the lever ratchets the sliding
jaw toward the fixed jaw to snug whatever is between them,
the last downward push on the lever does the final
tightening; a fine example of human creativity, this is
 a great tool that's ready for a significant collection
of tools:

vintage with sweetheart iron; top right:

yet growing rapidly, product line, the illustrations have
the old style appearance; bottom:

ST6 Uncommon special purpose grooving router; generally thought
to be a Stanley-made tool, it has a narrow rail to ride in
the working groove; nickel plated, with turned wooden knobs,
there's no model number, it may be that Stanley was test

cutter, I'll put a proper one in it; bottom left:

time, right when Bailey sold his stuff to Stanley, parts on
hand were finished in New Britain; this plane shows features
of the type 2 and 3, proving that no one at Stanley knew
about any type study; with no number in toe, eagle stamp,
banjo spring lever cap, and no Bailey on adjusting nut, the
plane is 100% original and never messed with, it's in much,
much nicer than usual shape and is much harder to find than
its metallic mates; used carefully over its long life, nothing
broken, owner name in stock; top:

ST73 #55 rounding spoke shave; pre-1900 model, no damage nor
much japanning, it's a worker for nearly all jobs that need
a radius on it; top left:

ST74 #40 scrub plane; as found, dirty and rusty, will easily
clean to be a fine worker, the lever cap was snapped and
brazed, which the wood will never know as it's being
tortured by this wood devouring tool; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t95.jpg $60.00
ST75 #72 chamfer plane; a worker with 50% japanning, all original
parts, and slender chip off the horn of the tote; a popular

also use it as a smoothing plane; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t96.jpg $265.00

glistens, a very popular tool that scrapes, rather than
cuts; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t99.jpg $130.00
ST80 #18 8" sliding bevel; a clean and ready to go example, the
simple to use butt locking screw sets the blade to the
desired angle; top left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t100.jpg $40.00
ST81 Matching set of six #40 Everlasting style chisels; what the
Everlastings became when hard plastic was substituted for
wood, these are fine quality workers and are not to be con-
fused with the clear yellow plastic handle variety; little
used, out of a working shop, widths of 1/4", 3/8", 1/2",
5/8", 3/4", and 1"; one with owner initials pricked in the
plastic, another is missing its metal cap, it's tossed in
for free; right:

ST82 A parts bonanza of #2 size smoothing planes, fresh out of
a tool morgue; two Stanley's and one Sargent, there's
plenty here to harvest to bring your dead back to life;
left one has no knob, no iron (but has the cap iron), the
tote is split, a portion of the main casting tab (at the
heel) departed permanently; the middle one is a Sargent
No.407 and is the best of the lot, with a split tote and
missing the adjusting nut; the right one is held together
with a clever application of zip-ties that would confound
Houdini, the main casting is held together with these,
it's missing the tote; top three:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t102.jpg $175.00
ST83 #17 block plane; the nickel plated version of the popular
#9 1/2, it has all original parts, is in much nicer than
usual condition, with some plating loss on the lever cap;
from the 1920's, with sweetheart logo on iron; a fine worker
that only needs a honing; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t103.jpg $55.00
ST84 #604 1/2 Bed Rock oversize smoothing plane; an early 1930's
production, the iron is a Record replacement (many #604 1/2
planes are found in England, where the irons are usual either
UK Stanley or Record as the users found them to be better
quality than the US ones); dirty, the knob is off a #604
smoother, it'll clean to make a fine worker; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t104.jpg $225.00
ST85 #62 double spoke shave; a clever design that allows the
tool to cut on the pull and push stroke, a handy thing
when grain changes, it's an early production in as found
shape, with little japanning; will clean to make a fine
worker; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t104.jpg $60.00

original parts, normal finish wear, probably Stanley's best

ST87 #606C Bed Rock corrugated fore plane with Hock iron; early

ST88 #1 smoothing plane; a way above average ca.1930 example
that has the "STANLEY" embossed lever cap and sweetheart
iron, it's 100% original and as found, never cleaned, 99%
japanning, barely used, an owner very neatly engraved his
initials, "N.A", on the right cheek; sneaky tool dealers
will gently clean this and put it in an 'original box' (a
#42 saw set box) with a photocopy label and pass it off as
original, that will never happen here; the most desirable
model with its embossed lever cap and a suitable stocking
stuffer for your favorite toolie; top left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t113.jpg $1185.00
ST89 #101 1/2 bull nose miniature block plane; the toughest to
find of the four plane series, Stanley tried to dump them
in England where Marples, et al, were offering similar
small cast iron block planes; nearly all surface in England,
where this one was, it has all original parts, 75%+ japanning,
no damage, an owner lightly filed a few marks on the left
cheek at the heel; much nicer than what's normally found;
top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t113.jpg $365.00
ST90 Newly manufactured replacement t-shape pin and screw for
the #52 shoot board; identical in all ways to the original,
this is the most common missing part for the board and is
vital for quick setting of the stop at the 45, 60, and 90
locations; ready to use, it fits all productions of the
board; bottom:

firm is not easy to find; top left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t53.jpg $110.00
WP13 3/16" double boxed bead by Chapin-Stephens; odd boxing for
such a narrow plane, it's a great size for 1/8" and 1/4"

or abused, with owner mark, it's a great size for cabinet-
work:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t64.jpg $80.00

to cut rabbets, the iron references the opposite edge and
keeps the plane from walking off the board (something that
is common while cutting rabbets); fully boxed shoulder, the
wedges to secure the arms are replaced, the plane is other-
wise original; a lot of plane for the money; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t67.jpg $110.00

accuracy and longer wear; made by Winstead Plane Co. of

shape; dry surfaces; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t82.jpg $55.00

by the large ovolo, this is an uncommon arrangement of the
two simple profiles; cuts 1" deep by 1 1/4" wide, with owner

tear up your palm while using it:

image suggest, this a very nice plane that saw little use;

greater comfort; cuts 7/8" deep by 1 3/8" wide:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t107.jpg $95.00
WP23 J.&L.Denison quirk ogee; one of the many CT Denison's that
cranked out wooden planes during the mid-1800's, this is a
good example that is free of modification and was recently

owner marks, it cuts 1/2" by 1" wide:

and deep rabbet that accepts a beaded piece of wood, this
piece (and the piece on the opposite side) are mitered to
pieces that span the width of the drawer, top and bottom,
to surround the drawer with a decoration that stand proud
for the drawer's face; this treatment is done on the finest
work, serious woodworker that are into making period repro-
ductions, will fine this vintage worker just the thing to
pull it off; in fine shape, owner mark, adjustable stop to
accommodate the varying thicknesses on a drawer front; not
an easy to find plane; WP9 cock bead plane is what's used
with this one; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t115.jpg $185.00
WP26 Five miniature rosewood and boxwood planes; fine details
to the chamfering on each toe and heel, the stocks are
1 3/4" long; good age, always together, in fine shape,
the planes are a two rabbets (one squirrel tail), a matching
hollow and round pair, and a single hollow; not the usual
rustic character, someone put a good bit of effort into
these; bottom:

name with forever leave my fingers knotted); new old stock
paperback, it's a serious effort to show how tools are more

MS34 Clean Preston 4" bull nose rabbet plane; most plating re-

that can be repositioned to set the mouth and the sole's
profile, it has all original parts, no damage, and some
surface rust that will easily clean, it saw very little
use as most plating is still on the sole; much less common
than the No.1 circular shave; bottom:

MS122 Boxwood 5" hat rule; often thought to be a Stanley product,
though I've never seen one marked by that firm, many firm's

MS125 Disston No.7 10pt 24" crosscut; good etch, sharp, no

MS126 Eleven Swiss pattern files in the original box; made by
Nicholson, they are 8" No.2 parallel machinist assortment,
they look to be unused; sold as a set of 12, one went on
permanent vacation, what's here is ready to use; these

to choke an elephant), but full length straight/round
side ones; top left:

MS127 2" bevel edge Buck Bros. chisel; at 16 1/2" long, this is
a serious chisel for paring and pounding; made during the

it's guaranteed to do well; top right:

and mechanic tools, with some woodworking, there is all
sorts of brands many of us recognize, like Stephens and
Yost vices, Richardson levels, Starrett, Buck Bros.,
Millers Falls, etc.; toward the end is Campbell's rule
tool, item MS77, with a full page dedicated to its use;
a rather uncommon catalog; bottom right:

MS130 Uncommon Bozwell B. Butt 1885 patent level; shaped like a
"D", with two vials at right angles to each other (one is
broken); can be fixed on a straightedge, it has a grooved
bottom for referencing off of round stock; 3" long, and with
most japanning, few know that Bozwell Butt is related to the
Butt Sisters (Bertha, Betty, Bella, and Bathsheba), his
invention was ignored almost to the same degree Jimmy Castor
ignored him, which was totally in his unforgettable song,
The Berth Butt Boogie; sock it to me, you don't have to be
a troglodyte (or a Leroy or a Luther) to own this one;

MS131 Victorian letter opener (paper knife) in the form of a
cavalryman's sabre; a very well made, and perfectly
scaled item, it has a scabbard two rings; hilt has four
bars, the original decorative tassel is attached; 9 3/4"
long, good patina, pre-1900, and most uncommon, you can
also use it to skewer many cocktail onions for your
super-sized martini, or, if you're into stuff like this
(perhaps tainted by a bit of arrested development) do a
sword swallowing routine with Barbie and Ken dolls; a
cool thing; bottom right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t76.jpg $285.00
MS132 Millers Falls No.108 angular bit stock; in its original
dusty box, barely used, ready to go, it's a very handy

obstructions; top:

MS133 Odd gull-wing shaped scraper with nickel plated sole that's
embossed "ROBERTSON"; works similar to a #80, but with no
screw to bow the blade; made of ebonized hardwood, 11 1/2"
long, it has pronounced curvatures making it a rather
attractive tool; as found, a bit dirty, it'll make a fine
worker; bottom:

stamped with the Riverton, CT location and 1858 patent
date, it's far less common than the Chapin-Stephens

for decades and is now dirty with some pitting (mostly

I both see it has no handle; guaranteed to be a fine
quality; top:

MS143 Group of seven (I found another after snapping the image)
 planishing hammers; for metalwork, appear to be a matching

worker condition; top right:

WWII era companies required badges like these for their

MS153 Marbles No.5 axe head; parted company with its handle
long ago, that unfortunate event kept this one in better

three adjacent circles; top right:

MS154 Cast iron stone holder by Pike Mfg.Co. or Pike, NH; a
handy thing as it keeps the oil in the holder and not on

the common wooden holder; with an old stone tossed in for
free (chipped on the back), it accepts a 6" long by 1 5/8"
stone; bottom:

MS156 Clean Sargent No.61 closed throat router with two original
cutters; a barely used example that has nearly all finish,
it has a clever captive nut that engages milled slots in
the back of the 1/4" and 1/2" cutters to adjust them; the
equivalent of the #71 1/2, it's a fine example of an un-
common tool; top right:

MS157 Larger shears (scissors); nearly 16" long, they are by
one of the Newark, NJ makers, but are unsigned; with most
japanning on the handles, they saw little use, you'll want
to sharpen them for best use; great working things, you
open the blades and slide the larger handle on a flat
surface along the line to cut, you'll never look at scissors
the same way again with one of these in hand; bottom;

MS168 Pair of uncommon Ellrich Mfg.Co. adjustable wrenches; from
the Plantsville, CT firm that had some ties to PSW, the
wrenches have no markings, but are noted as being from
this firm in Kenneth Cope's American Wrench Makers (a
catalog cut is shown for the firm, the wrenches are
identical to the cut); 4" and 6" long, the former is nickel
plated and is missing the adjusting nut, the 6" is all

tective coating on them; fine quality; bottom pile:

replaced (I know where you can get some proper files);

MS171 Tapered auger/reamer, more than likely a Swan product as
it has their lines and red finish; perfect for working
larger diameter tapered holes, it tapers from 1" to 2"
over the 7" cutting edge; commonly used by cooper's,
anyone making a bench, shaving horse, stout tools/stands,
can find this useful; a later finish was applied; bottom:

MS173 Uncommon A.A.Wood&Son No.66 bench grinder; made by the
same Atlanta, GA firm that made the best hollow auger and
go-with tools, this is the first grinder I've had by the
firm; a very well made tool, it has a sliding rest that
easily adjusts relative to the 6" wheel as it's used up;
the rest is a flat plate with cross hatched pattern for
better grip; in fine worker shape and of a quality that
will last for generations; left:

japanning remains, it saw careful use; right:

MS175 Earlier axe with 6" (edge) bell-shape profile; good age, I
believe it to be North American, it has an older replacement
handle that fits it well; oval eye, some mushrooming to back

chopper; top:

MS176 Cast iron San Francisco Water Dept. meter box cover;
featuring the Golden Gate Bride deeply embossed in the 10"
wide oval, there are traces of the original red finish;

have nicked it while on holiday; not a modern copy, but an
original that has a pre-WWII look about; top:

MS179 Book, "The Stanley 'Forty-Five' Combination Plane" by
David Heckel; as complete a reference as ever, this paper-
back bible offers the history, identification, and value
(from years ago, not now) of one of the most significant
planes manufactured; if you don't learn at least 45 new
things from this book then there's something wrong with
you; bottom:

MS180 Mahogany 10" level with finely engraved brass plating that
covers the entire top; remarkable detail for a level, and
even more remarkable that it never was cleaned and polished,
its maker is E.Willcocks of Canterbury (England); original

MS181 Preston 1/4" double square ovolo iron shave; cuts a left
and right square ovolo in a very desirable size for cabinet
work, this one saw very little used and has nearly all the

all original parts, the iron is stamped with the size and
the Preston logo; a fine working example; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t114.jpg $165.00
MS182 Preston No.1368C 1 1/4" nickel plated shoulder and rabbet
plane; a fine and barely used example, just a hint of
plating loss localized on a corner between the sole and
side, I've only seen one nicer and that was one in the
original box I sold to a major tool manufacturer north
of me (eh?); only in need of a honing, a great example
that became the 073 when Record bought Preston; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t115.jpg $390.00
MS183 #18 style sliding bevel that's embossed "ANBULUS" a name
that suggests a bowel disease (at least to me, that is);
the 6" blade is stamped as made in Germany, it's a beefier
model of the #18 bevel popularized by Stanley; remnants of
the original plating, fully functional, it's a fine worker
or one for your one of each sliding bevel collection; top

MS184 Very unusual bronze bull nose adjustable rabbet plane with
nicer than Norris engine turning of the kind done on Model
J Duesenbergs; in its original box that has a label that
reads "Mechanisms Patent Bull Nose Plane"; first of its
kind I've seen, as is likewise case for many other know-
ledgeable UK collectors/dealers, it's a very well made
plane that was used just a couple times; original japanned
(over bronze) lever cap shows some minor loss, extra fine
mouth, the adjusting screw slides a pin that engages a
hole in the iron; plane is also stamped Mechanisms Patent,
 it's a very odd name for a plane; certainly a rare plane
that's roughly 4" long; top right:

MS185 Accordion style adjustable dovetail gauge; expands and
contracts the six templates so that they are equally
spaced automatically; in sound worker shape, a UK patent,
and probably the most popular tool of its kind invented;

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/dec/t116.jpg $75.00
MS186 A most unusual and unique double bevel; made of forged
iron, with two brass quarter circle sections that are
stamped with several graduations, my hunch is that this
is used for layout of rafters; probably not manufactured,
very well made, it has unique hinging action for each
section; found in England, it may be Continental, but
the graduations betray that origin; about 14" long, and
with a ca.1875 appearance, there are no maker's marks of
any kind; a very cool thing that will amuse you for hours
as you try to figure out how it's used in its various
contorted positions; top:
