Apologies for the tardy monthly tool
list, which many of you
eagerly anticipated
as a respite over your concern for Britney
Spears. I think
you’ll find the delay worth the wait if nothing
else for the other
Spiers featured.
There’s a special section of
patternmaker’s tools gathered by a
couple generations
of workers at the Schenectady General Electric.
If you’ve ever
wondered what patternmakers used to make patterns
for your electric
toaster, the answer is below.
If you have questions about what the
Stanley numbers are, you can
look the planes up
on Blood&Gore:
https://supertool.com/stanleybg/stan0.htm
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.
Please email me prior to sending money
so that you can be sure
the tool is still up
for grabs. Also, prices do not include shipping,
which is the exact
amount that it takes to go from me to you.
This list goes out to many people on
the first Monday of the month.
So, if you see
something you want, it's the quickest finger on the
trigger that wins
the duel.
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 immed-
iately.
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
for flatness, or who tosses a plane on a scale
to weigh it against
what it states in the Stanley catalogues, 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 don’t
cross.
Lastly, and I hate to have 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 cover of Feb '98 FWW!); a
detachable block
plane handle designed to fit your 20 degree
block planes, and
the finest bench plane in production today, the
Bed Rock #601. You
can see all this at:
https://supertool.com/newtools.htm
Finally, remember that you don't have
to be a connoisseur (did
I spell that
correctly?) to shop here. You can be a wirehead, a
metalhead, a
zipperhead, 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, no
letters/words were injured
when writing this
list...
FEATURED TOOL OF THE MONTH
******** **** ** *** *****
FT1 The tool model is holding one of the low points of the
former
Spiers planemaking firm, their knuckle joint
block
plane; while the tool executioner was moving in
to snatch
another toolmaker, the company was sparing
no heroic
measures to keep it on life support; at times
like
this, emotion trumps reason, giving us products such
as this
unsightly beast made in Paisley after the company’s
foreman
bought out the name and relocated it from Ayr; with
just a
few of these things known, they are one of the rarest
UK-made
planes of all, and are essential to complete a
collection (and de-evolutionary perspective) of the world’s
first
successful infill planemaker; with all original parts,
marked
iron, no damage, there’s little original finish
remaining; a great relic of toolmanity’s desperation, it
perfectly
parallels humanity’s desperation with that other
Spears:

tools made by Starrett, they have their
original
points, one of which is scaled; in sound

still
being offered or not); left
https://supertool.com/forsale/t58.jpg

rest with
nothing like that, one caliper has a nicely
repaired
joint; right six:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t59.jpg
$60.00
PT7 13 Forstner augers; one of the best designs for boring
at any
angle, these stout ones can be used in a brace
or drill
press; range in diameter from 3/8” to 1 1/8”;
most are
in fine, little used condition, with most
carrying
the Forstner name, it’s nearly impossible to
find
originals these days:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t60.jpg
$190.00
PT8 A wonderful selection of carving chisels; 36 in total,
and all
by quality turn of the century makers; mostly
Addis,
followed by Buck, and a few by Taylor and Barton,
they are
all entirely usable with no shorts or burns,
and no
hideous chips; many with old handles, some
without,
and some with splinters off handles; I would
go absolutely
crazy trying to list them all, but trust
me that
there is a fine cross-section of carvers with
the
widest being 1 1/16” and the longer being 11 1/2";
most are
bright and shiny and only need to be honed to
be put to
work, some have minor superficial rust that
will
easily clean, they aren’t you usual pitted and
used up
carvers:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t61.jpg
$785.00
PT9 Group of 10 steel shrink rules and two steel rules for
a
combination square; by B&S, Chesterman, etc., with

$55.00
PT10 Pair of uncommon boxwood folding
shrink rules; one by
Preston
the other by Rabone, two-foot, four-fold, and
in usual

in
patternshops, and are far less common than the steel
ones;
bottom two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t62.jpg
$45.00
PT11 Starrett No.10 protractor and
Mass.Tool Co. depth gauge
with 6”
graduated rule; both in sound user shape, with
usual
tarnish, the latter tool is by a rather uncommon
maker;
left two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t63.jpg
$35.00
PT12 Six filleting balls; used to put
an accurate radius in
the
pattern (don’t want square/sharp corners on those),
they
would make lovely knife rests for a well set dinner
table;
still handy for work today, you can also use them
when
layering fiberglass; middle pile:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t63.jpg
$25.00
PT13 Starrett sliding bevel and
manufactured butt locking
bevel
(can’t remember who made this one); Starrett has
a 6”
blade with double slots; owner marks on this one;
other has
a 12” long blade and is in surprising fine
shape although
the locking tab has been replaced, it’s
still a
fine worker; right two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t63.jpg
$35.00
PT14 Slip stone for all those carving
chisels and gouge (that
follow);
tapered cone with convex and concave faces,

long; some signs of wear in the concave face
at the
widest portion, still sound for more use;

$25.00

fine adjustment screw on
original
15” long beam; for extra precise work, all

used to ‘staple’ wood
together
while you work it; in usual pinch dog shape,
just add
wood; bottom mess:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t64.jpg
$30.00
PT17 Six cranked incannel gouges by
Buck Bros; each with
original
handles, and in barely used shape, widths
of 1/8”,
1/4", 7/16”, 3/4", 1”, and 1 1/4”; only need
to be
honed to be put back to work; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t65.jpg
$135.00
PT18 Pair of cranked bevel edge flats
by Buck Bros.; nearly
impossible to find today (I was hoping to find a batch
of them
in this pile, but this is all that there are),
each with
original handles, and widths of 1/4" and 1”,
the
latter seing the most use and in need of a grinding;
1/4"
is barely used; right two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t65.jpg
$95.00
PT19 Pair of Starrett centering heads;
in fine shape, one
standard
size and the other smaller (for 6” and 4”
squares);
left two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t66.jpg
$35.00
PT20 Four patternmaker’s gouges; the
all-metal kind that
cut a
half section of a circle; diameters of 1/4" (two
of these), 3/8”, and 1/2"; sound workers;
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t66.jpg
$30.00
PT21 Brass planing cutter in a great
mahogany box; with
three
blades, this thing is chucked in a drill press
and spun
around to flatten smaller stock; these had
to be
manufactured as I’ve had several over the years,
but none
in a box like this; in fine shape, with no
damage, I
don’t recommend you use this, nor does
OSHA:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t67.jpg
$85.00
PT22 A pile of 16 gouges, all but one
incannel; perfect for
scribing,
and by quality makers like Buck Bros, Charles
(Chuck)
Buck, Barton, and a couple Sheffield makers;
all in
fine worker shape, no hideous chips, widths from
1/8” to 1
5/8”; most with original turned handles, some
with
splinters off those, a bargain over what you’d pay
one at a
time, and of a quality not available today;
left
bunch:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t68.jpg
$275.00
PT23 Three flat chisel and one socket
firmer (how that got
in the
pile, I don’t know, it’s not marked); the two
bevel
edge are by Addis (difficult maker to find of
this
kind) and Buck Bros. with widths of 3/8” and 1/2";
both with
original handles, the Buck’s has a splinter
of it;
right three:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t68.jpg
$65.00
PT24 A great boxwood patternmaker’s
radius plane all stored
in a
wooden box with a sliding cover; I can’t recall
ever
seeing one of these in boxwood before, it’s a
lovely
example of a plane that every patternmaker had
(and this
guy had two); 8 soles in total, it has 5 of
the
original irons; in fine shape, with a good amount
of
original finish, it’s 6” long; one sole is warped,
which is
proof enough why boxwood is not the wood of
choice
for such a tool:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t69.jpg
$385.00
PT25 Three #151 spoke shaves; one made
of brass; offered as
workers,
one was broken and repaired, the brass one
didn’t
have a cutter in it when I photographed it so
I used
one in the image; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t70.jpg
$55.00
PT26 Drawknife with handles at right
angles; made from a
spoke shave
iron, and with nicely turned handles, it
shows the
versatility that the patternmaker had to
fashion
task-specific tools; a great worker, the
blade is
3” long; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t70.jpg
$45.00
PT27 Nine curved shapes of various
radii; made by the guy
for
specific hollowing, they are ideal for working
chair
sets, bowels, and other hollowed items; 2” to
5” long,
many are made from spoke shaves that have
been
pared back; tools you don’t encounter too often:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t71.jpg
$185.00
PT28 Six wooden spoke shaves with
straight blades; four
have had
their handles pared down, something typical
for
allowing working in tight areas, the longest hasn’t
and has
no irons; one has a split off the handle, blades
are 1
1/2" to 2”; decent workers; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t72.jpg
$45.00
PT29 Three brass spoke shaves, one
plated; two are by Phelps
when they
were still in Pittston, PA, they have 1 1/4"
wide
blades with one flat and one curved (front to back)
soles;
other has a 1” blade and front to back curved
sole;
bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t72.jpg
$40.00
PT30 A great Knowles-type cast iron
patternmaker’s plane
with six
soles and matching irons; this is an early
plane
that has the look of the Knowles style of plane
with a
integral receiver for the tote and lugs for the
wedge;
measures 14” long, the irons are by Moulson; this
plane
definitely has a mid-1800’s look to it, the knob
is an
infill-like thing, it has a split at its narrowest
point;
knob, wedge, and tote are mahogany; a significant
plane:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t73.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/t73a.jpg $785.00
PT31 13 wooden planes, all hollows and
rounds save for one
being a
bead (another surprise to find in a patternmaker’s
chest);
mostly by Bensen&Crannell, there are three
matching
pairs – 12, 14, and 18; two (not the matching
ones)
were near a fire and are rather skanky and should
be
salvaged for their irons, the rest are solid workers;
a
bargain:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t74.jpg
$95.00
PT32 Pair of special purpose wooden
planes, one a curved
rabbet,
the other a nice miniature maple rabbet with
a
mahogany sole; the mini plane was lightly kissed on
the right
side to true it’s 3 3/4" long with a 3/4"
wide
iron; top left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t75.jpg
$45.00
PT33 A neat shave that uses an iron and
lever cap from a #101
plane (I forgot to include the body in the image); a
lot of
work was put into this maple tool, and the image
fails to
capture its details, you get two tools in one
with this
one as the #101 casting will accompany it;
top
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t75.jpg
$55.00
PT34 Pair of Sheffield spoke shaves,
one being boxwood and
the other
a screwed and plated beech example; both with
usual
wear, with plenty of life left in them, irons are
3” long;
bottom two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t75.jpg
$45.00
PT35 A large pile of turning tools; in
various states of
‘dress’
and many different sizes/shapes, most will
prove to
be fine workers and only need minimal
cleaning;
quality makers – Buck Bros., etc.
https://supertool.com/forsale/t76.jpg
$125.00
PT36 Lathe sizing tool on a Moulson
Bros. chisel ground to
1/8”
width; no handle, you can stick one of those on
it and
get to work; used to make turnings of exact
diameters; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t77.jpg
$55.00
PT37 Extra fine lathe sizing tool and a
nearly unused 3/16”
D.R.Barton parting chisel; with original handle, this
one is
ready to go; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t77.jpg
$85.00
PT38 #605 Bed Rock jack plane; a ca.WWI
model with “BED ROCK”
embossed
lever cap; a sound worker, it was re-japanned
by the
last owner of the tool pile above, it’s free of
damage
and no owner’s marks; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t78.jpg
$115.00
PT39 #4 smoothing plane; a ca.1935 example
and likely the
last tool
added to the kit, it’s in sound user shape,
with all
original parts, just needs a quick cleaning
and a
honing to get back to work; nicer than usual
condition; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t78.jpg
$65.00
PT40 Three toothing irons; a 1 7/8” by
Moulson, an unheard
of 2
1/2" by Buck Bros, and a 2” by the Detroit, MI
firm of
Charles Strelinger; each in fine user shape
and near
full length; left three:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t79.jpg
$45.00
PT41 #71 router with 1/2" cutter;
a pre-1900 model being
offered
as a bargain worker due to missing 1/4" cutter
and
throat closing shoe; several scratches in the sole;
middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t79.jpg
$25.00
PT42 Three Stanley irons; one a barely
used sweetheart marked
#3 iron
(1 3/4" wide), another a similarly marked 2”
iron for
a #53/#54 shave, and a grungy 2 2/8”, but still
usable,
1930’s for #6 and #7 size planes; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t79.jpg
$45.00
STANLEY
*******
ST1 #65 knuckle joint block plane; a super clean and 100%
damage
free example, with all original parts; just some
minor
tarnish on this 1940’s example; the best low angle
block
plane Stanley made; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t4.jpg
$90.00
ST2 #49 match plane; a “B” casting with the floral embossing
on the
handle, it has all original parts and 95% plating;
a fine
worker of the least common tongue and groove
plane
(compared to the #48), it’s designed to work thinner
stock;

$145.00
ST3 Extra clean #4 smoothing plane; from the early 1890’s,
with all
original parts, and free of any damage, all
you need
to do is hone the iron and start planing; lightly
cleaned,
they rarely come any nicer from this era; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t20.jpg
$95.00
ST4 #7 jointer plane; made right after WWII, and with all
the
pre-war features, it has the extra thick casting
that
makes it ideal for planing tenacious grains; I
don’t
believe the plane was ever used, it only needs
to be
honed to be put back to work; some tarnish on
one side,
where is laid on its side in the box; if
you
demand cleanliness, here it is; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t22.jpg
$175.00
ST5 #6 fore plane; came with the previous, and in the
same
condition, just hone it and go; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t22.jpg $125.00
ST6 #1 smoothing plane; a type 11 model with the V-logo
stamped
in the iron, this as-found example has all
original
parts and was never cleaned or altered; with
the tip
of the tote missing, this ones a bargain over
what a
mint one fetches these days; a quick cleaning
will have
it looking much nicer than it is now, it
looks to
have 90% japanning under the grunge; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t23.jpg
$935.00
ST7 A nice ca.1930 #2C corrugated smoothing plane; as-found,
never
cleaned or abused, still with a good amount of the
decal on
the tote, it’s dusty from sitting idle; not
your

on the
1-10 scale; top:

$485.00
ST8 #98/#99 side rabbets with adjustable stops; from the
1920’s,

and
dados; bottom:

$245.00
ST9 #62 fully brass bound two-foot, four-fold boxwood
folding
rule; with model number and pre-WWII Stanley
name
markings, this is one of the best general purpose
two-foot
rules Stanley made; in far nicer than usual
condition, the two face alignment pins are missing,
which is
typical to keep those from scratching flesh
and wood;
middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t26.jpg
$35.00
ST10 Barely used #92 cabinetmaker’s
rabbet plane; used once
and then
put into the hinged wooden box, it’s a 1960’s
UK model;
no damage at all, no longer being made, and
made when
standards were higher than later productions;
top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t39.jpg
$95.00
ST11 #984 corner brace; an earlier
example that’s stamped
with
patent pending info; a sound worker, the jaws and

$75.00
ST12 Unused #72 double arm marking
gauge; from the 1920’s,
with the
sweetheart logo and model number stamped into

settings
at once; bottom:

$50.00
ST13 Unused screw driver with V-logo
stamped on blade; 12”
long,

ca.1905 model with
the “B”
casting mark; all original parts, including
the side
plate with patent date stamped in it; a

so much
more character than the sterile bronze ones
offered
today; bottom:

$115.00
ST17 #15 block plane; the 1” longer
model than the ever popular
#9 1/2,
with all original parts and no damage, it dates
from the
1920’s with the sweetheart logo on the iron;
japanning
loss on lever cape, main casting has all that;
a fine
worker; top:

$50.00
ST18 #60 1/2 low angle block plane; a
sound example in as
found
shape, with all original parts, from the 1930’s

no damage at all at the mouth, just needs a
quick
cleaning; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t81.jpg
$55.00
ST19 #10 jack rabbet plane; in barely
used shape, it spent
more time
collecting dust than it did making it; all
original
parts, full length iron, 99.99% japanning,

damage to the rosewood; not commonly found in
this
condition, it’s a plane that normally got beat
to within
an inch of its life; top:

WOOD PLANES
**** ******
WP1 Most unusual extra wide molding plane by Wm.Wood & Sons;
a broad
reverse ogee and astragal that measures 2” wide,
it has an
extra deep fence; in fine shape, never altered
or
modified, and with an even patina; a strange one:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t5.jpg
$235.00
WP2 Pair of left and right curved panel planes; with the
London
Chamberlain mark (marks are different on each
plane,
but these have definitely always been together),
they are
in little used shape with no damage or
alteration; likely used to cut the curved portion of
a panel,
the flat portion is 7/8” wide with a beveled
cut at
the outer edge of each iron to define the field;
a unique
pair of planes; top two:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t6.jpg
$255.00
WP3 Wilson/Newcastle quirk, cove, and quirk with double
boxing;
the style of plane used to mold the face of
paneling,
it saw little use; rabbet mouth, it cuts a
5/8” wide
profile; owner’s mark in toe, a crack in
the wedge
that’s easily glued, a fine worker; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t7.jpg
$115.00
WP4 Fully boxed bead, cove, and bead by Greenslade; like
the previous
plane, with with a bit more detail to
the
profile, it cuts 7/8” wide; nicely refinished,
rabbet
mouth, no damage, and little used, that’s a
large
chunk of boxwood making up the sole; middle:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t7.jpg
$185.00
WP5 Wilson/Newcastle fully boxed 1/4" reeding plane; in
fine
worker shape, little used, it cuts a pair of 1/4”
diameter
beads; normally found loaded with nail holes,
there’s
not a single one on this example; owner’s mark
and
nicely refinished; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t7.jpg
$115.00
WP6 Very rare ogee and bead cluster by Mutter; a pre-1800
plane
with flat chamfers, and a profile I’ve never
owned
before; in sound shape, with the usual dings
and bangs
on a plane over 200 years old, the bead
cluster
portion is fully boxed; works 1/2” thick stock,
then
fence likely was planed down a bit and then had
an
auxiliary one tacked onto it; nice proportions to
make for
a lovely profile:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t8.jpg
$145.00
WP7 Strange adjustable cooper’s croze; with a metallic
frame
mounted on wooden arms and fence, it looks to
be a
manufactured example; round arms and grip, the
iron
carrier is secured to the arms with screws, a
large
wing nut secures the iron in place; steel plates
in the
fence for longer wear, it’s in fine damage free
shape
with one fence thumb screw being a replacement;
not your
usual ugly and beat to death croze:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t9.jpg
$275.00
WP8 An incredibly complex molding plane by Frogatt; far too
complex
to understand, there’s enough twists and turns
for any
lover of wooden planes to ponder endlessly; all
original,
the profile is 1 1/4" wide and cuts about 5/8”
deep; a
fine example of a ca.1800 plane, with only one
owner’s
stamp:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t10.jpg
$290.00
WP9 Worker reverse ogee and fillet by Hunt (it’s overstruck
with an
owner’s mark, so I may be misreading it); from
the late
1700’s, with flat chamfers, and nicer than
usual
proportions over its 1 1/4" width and 1” depth, a
stop was
added long, long ago (likely right after the
plane was
made); left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t12.jpg
$85.00
WP10 7/8” (depth of cut) quirked ogee
and astragal by Varvill
of York;
from ca.1810, with great proportions, dark
finish,
expected dings here and there, the iron will
need a
polishing, there are still shavings in the throat
from when
last used over 150 years ago; owner’s mark;
right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t12.jpg
$95.00
WP11 Maddox 1/4" (depth of cut)
Roman ogee of a very unusual
9”
length; a pre-1800 plane that’s a fine worker, with
usual
owner’s stamps, it’s been partially refinished; a
difficult
size ogee to find:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t13.jpg
$95.00
WP12 Malloch/Perth bead, cove, and bead
face molding with
adjustable fence; double iron and double boxed, the
plane is
in barely used condition; with owner’s mark,
this is a
fine worker for sticking profile at a fixed
position
off the edge simply by setting the fence; the
fences
and arms look to be off a plough that the owner
modified
to make this plane more useful:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t14.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/t14a.jpg $245.00
WP13 S.Cummings panel raiser; the
standard American style,
cuts 1
3/4" wide; 15” long, all original and never
modified,
the skewed iron shows some roughness at the
heel;
overall dark patina, a fine worker:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t16.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/t16a.jpg $185.00
WP14 3 1/2" long miniature beech
smoothing plane with 1”
wide
single iron; a very fine mouth, minor wear, a
fine
worker, no damage about the wedge and iron,
owner’s
marks; top right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t18.jpg
$85.00
WP15 1/2" double bead by W.H.Pond;
fully boxed soles, this
plane is
designed to be used left or right handed and
can stick
a bid along both edges of the stock where
the iron
will be planing with the grain; it can also
be
flipped end for end to reverse the planing when
running
into a grain change; a sound worker, with usual
dings and
scuffs, it’s a bargain worker; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t30.jpg
$80.00
WP16 J.Kellogg/Amherst 1” fully boxed
bead; 1” diameter, the
entire
sole is boxwood for longer wear; plane saw use,
is
as-found, and could stand a quick cleaning, it has
lots of
life left in it; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t30.jpg
$35.00
WP17 E.Gere 3/8” quirked ogee and
astragal; a very rare size
and by a
rather uncommon maker; never altered or abused,
with dry
original surfaces, no owner’s marks, and lots of
curves in
such a compact profile for 3/8” thick stock;
a very
nice plane; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t31.jpg $185.00
WP18 John Bell 5/8” (width and depth)
gothic bead; a single
iron
example of a very unusual size and profile (for a
Philadelphia maker), it’s in fine shape with no owner’s
marks;
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t31.jpg
$155.00
WP19 Great Jones/Phila (with star
marks) 6/8” (depth of cut)
astragal
and cove; commonly called a bolection molding,
this is a
fine example that has never been altered or
abused,
and carries the “C” mark in AWP; owner’s mark
on heel,
a crack in the boxing, and a good rich color
to the
beech; a quality plane; left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t32.jpg
$185.00
WP20 Madox ca.1770 6/8” (depth of cut)
square ovolo; never
altered
or modified, with nice grungy original surface,
a fine
worker that measures 9 3/4" long; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t32.jpg
$65.00
WP21 Unusual R.A.Parrish/Philad (“A”
mark) 1” diameter bead
with
exposed lignum boxing; in fine shape, never abused,
no
owner’s mark, and not a crack in the boxing; a striking
looking
plane of a rare configuration, from his earliest
working
period:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t33.jpg
$155.00
WP22 Fabulous G.W.Denison&Co. solid
boxwood moving fillister;
with a
hint of tiger figure to the boxwood, this plane
was used
once or twice, then forgotten; the plane is
essentially in the condition it was when made, the fence
shrunk a
bit and cracked at the inlaid brass plates of
the sole;
this was done recently, and is on the outside
of the
fence; re-acclimating it to a moister environment
and some
glue will remedy the splits, this is a signi-
ficant
American plane:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t36.jpg
$385.00
WP23 Extra clean J.W.Farr/N.York
3/4" (depth of cut) quirked
ogee and
bevel; with more pleasing than typical pro-
portions,
this one escaped being used much, and is in
nearly
new condition; perfect dimensions for today’s
stock;
left:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t45.jpg
$95.00
WP24 I*LONG 5/8” (depth of cut) ogee;
this is the NH maker
from
ca.1800, not the UK one; 9 1/2" long, flat chamfers,
refinished, all original, and expected dings from years
of
existence; right:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t45.jpg
$185.00
WP25 Charmingly primitive dated molding
plane; a 10 1/2” long
square
ovolo with one of the wildest totes I’ve seen on
a plane;
dated 1828, it’s also stamped J.KOONS, likely
the
maker; chamfered lignum strike button, flat chamfers
on both
plane and wedge, there is a screw securing the
tote to
the body; other than some wear to the sole, it’s
in fine shape,
and is the perfect representative to the
imagination of America’s earliest planemakers:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t48.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/t48a.jpg $275.00
WP26 Pair 1/2" match planes by
E.P.Preston; a less common
size, the
planes have had their finish removed, and
only need
a honing to be put back to work; no damage,
they can
work 3/8” to 5/8” thick stock; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t53.jpg
$80.00
WP27 Group of five matching bead planes
by Wm.Souder; like
his fellow
Philadelphia makers, he chose to box these
in an
atypical fashion, with some being solid boxing
and
others being double boxed in the Philadelphia
style;
the largest diameter plane is sprung, something
unusual
for a beading plane; two are slipped so they
may work
deeper in thicker stock; diameters of 3/16”,
1/4”,
3/4", 7/8”, and 1 1/8”; in fine, little used
shape, a
#12 hollow is also included:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t54.jpg
$295.00
WP28 Rosewood molding plane with
steeper than usual pitch;
cuts a
7/8” deep by 1 3/8” wide ovolo and cove; in
unmodified shape, with a fine mouth, never cleaned or
altered,
no markings or nail holes of any kind, just
some
minor chips here and there; a great plane:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t84.jpg
https://supertool.com/forsale/t84a.jpg $295.00
WP29 Great cocobolo and boxwood
adjustable compass plane of
a smaller
size; measuring 5 3/4" long, with a 1 1/2”
wide
double iron, the radius is determined by adjusting
the
boxwood nose piece; in overall fine shape, with
some
minor dings in the sole, there’s no damage about
the wedge
mortice; wedge is original and made of
mahogany;
owner’s name on toe and heel; a beautiful
little plane
in a very rare wood for such a tool; top:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t92.jpg
$285.00
WP30 Exquisite boxwood smoothing plane
by Bill Carter; one
of his
earlier efforts, dated 1987 on the heel, free
of
damage, it may have been used once or twice than
put away;
3 3/4" long with a 1 1/8” wide iron; Carter
is the
best wooden and metal planemaker going, doing
it long
before others even heard of planes; bottom:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t92.jpg
$395.00
WP31 A superb carved and laminated
rosewood, mahogony, and
boxwood
router; 7 1/2" long, with a 1/4” wide iron,
this is
more a work of art than it is a tool; in fine
shape,
with minor wear, the sole is rosewood with a
mahogany
top sandwiching a thin layer of what looks
to be
boxwood; a joy to look at and hold:
https://supertool.com/forsale/t93.jpg

WP32 An unused Marples beech plough
plane with a complete
matching
set of 8 irons all in the original cardboard
box; just
like buying it new over 60 years ago, the
box has
wear and tear, but is structurally sound:

in
seconds; bottom:

MI6 Spiers dovetailed steel rosewood stuffed smoothing plane;
no
pitting, this bargain worker has had the tote’s horn
ended out
and carries a replacement iron, the cap iron
has had
its end ground to fit the plane, it’s still a
bit too
thick to set the iron (which is a good thing);
with
minor effort, this will be a fine worker for a
price far
less than what they normally cost; top:

MI7 Dovetailed steel smoothing plane with rosewood stuffing;
this one
needs to be brought back from the dead with new
stuffing;
the shell and gunmetal lever cap are in fine

replacement; for those of you burned by Shepherd

one has a
cast iron frame with a turned wooden handle

1/4" iron; uncleaned and free of damage, there

and brass gauges that
I’ve
owned, never buffed or abused, with full length
points;

take a blow from a hammer, chisel, or 2x4;
has an
auxiliary vial at the side, which, oddly, is
covered

designed to screw to a wall

chisels, files, whatever, they are 5 1/2" to

definitely manufactured, two have a small chip off one
loop, a
common problem to any cast iron tool holder;

Falls level on the
planet;
with all japanning and plating, clearly stamped
with the

the plumb
vials to the hazards of work; bottom:
