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.
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 The best 14" Birmingham T-rabbet plane extant; a very un-
common size in any condition, it's unheard of in used
very carefully and put away condition; out of the Inner
Sanctum, and being offered reluctantly as another Packard
is barking at us, it's the model with the cutter adjust-
ment lever, which, itself, is uncommon on all sizes as
most didn't have this feature; remnants of an original
label at the heel, rarity and excellent condition are not
easy to find for any collectible, like all the stuff that
finds its way into the Inner Sanctum, it's exactly how it
was found:

STANLEY
*******
ST1 #2 smoothing plane in its original box; a 1930's model that

out tape; for a discerning collector:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t15.jpg $675.00
ST2 New old stock #40 scrub plane; last production, never used,

ST3 #603 Bed Rock smoothing plane; a good, as found, round side
model with four-line logo iron and two-line lever cap;
carefully used, the tip of the tote looks chipped in the
image, it's actually storage roughness on the edge of the
tip; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t17.jpg $185.00
ST4 #604 Bed Rock smoothing plane; earlier model with round
side, full length '92 patent cutter, three-line embossed
lever cap; much nicer than what's normally found, some
texturing to the sole well behind the mouth can be left
as is; top:

embossed lever cap; tight crack in the tote was nicely
glued; bottom:

it anywhere on the surface of the work; single cutter, the
ferrule has the common (and stable) crack, it can be used
as is; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t19.jpg $180.00

fence tongue and groove planes; little used, most of the
plating remains, with some dull spots that will polish,
no damage; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t20.jpg $155.00
ST8 #62 low angle jack plane; free of the common damage about
the mouth, this worker has replaced knob and tote, one of
its owner must have had large hands as he shaped the side
walls at the toe and heel and did so very well; can be
honed and used as is, it works as well as a perfect one,
he removed the pressed steel adjuster for the front portion
of the sole; dusty from sitting; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t21.jpg $185.00

ST10 #10 jack rabbet; an as found worker, with sweetheart iron,
it has a fine repair at the left cheek that's stronger than
the rest of the casting; dusty from sitting, the tote is
a proper rosewood Stanley, but is a hair too tall for free
movement of the lateral lever, a quick introduction of your
favorite sander will remedy that; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t22.jpg $110.00

low, sweetheart iron has an inch of life left in it; will
make a fine worker; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t23.jpg $180.00
ST14 #278 fillister; a plane that gets little respect, it's a
clever design that can be used on three of its sides; with
all original parts, little used, it can be honed and used
as is; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t24.jpg $190.00
ST15 #239 special dado plane; 1/8" width, it's much less common
than the #239 1/2 which came with a fence; in fine shape,
little used, free of modification, it compliments the #39
series well as there is no 1/8" dado of that model; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t24.jpg $135.00

manufacture, no damage, some superficial rust from sitting

ST30 #2 smoothing plane; early 1930's production that saw little
use and is nicely cleaned, though dusty from sitting; free
of damage; top;
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t62.jpg $275.00
ST31 #90 bull nose rabbet plane in its original box; older UK
production, maybe used a couple times and put away, it can
be honed and used as is; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t62.jpg $115.00
ST32 #96 blind nailing 'plane'; the smallest of all Stanley
planes, it accepts a 1/4" chisel to raise a curl under

clean, with some minor tarnish spots; bottom right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t62.jpg $115.00
ST33 #605 Bed Rock jack plane; one that saw very little use,
most of the original finish remains, it's grungy from
sitting idle, and will easily clean to make a great
worker; top;
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t65.jpg $155.00
ST34 #386 jointer gauge; a handy aid that attaches to the longer
bench planes to assist square an edge to a face or planing
a bevel; most plating, no damage, all original parts; top
right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t66.jpg $120.00

with "STANLEY" lever cap, it will work as well as a mint
one; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t69.jpg $155.00
ST36 #607C Bed Rock corrugated jointer; same vintage as the
previous, it was found with the previous plane and also
is a sound worker despite a short crack in the side wall
forward of the mouth, it's doubtful it will grow larger as
it runs downward directly to the sole; in need of a clean;
bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t70.jpg $125.00
ST37 #607 Bed Rock jointer; same vintage as previous and found
with the previous plane, it suffers no damage and will
clean very well to be a solid worker; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t70.jpg $235.00
ST38 Jennings pattern augers in their original three section
wooden box; with the individual wrappers, they look unused,
perhaps a few may have been given a spin once and then put
away; the best pattern for boring hardwoods, the double
screw pulls the auger into the work without your having to
force is in; diameters of 1/4" to 1" in 1/16" increments,
they are much nicer than what's normally found; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t71.jpg $225.00
ST39 #289 fillister; ca.1930 model with decal remnants on the
handle, it saw careful use, most finish remains; Stanley's
best rabbet, it works equally well in all grain directions,
it has all original parts; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t71.jpg $285.00
ST40 #39 1/2" dado; a good as found worker with no damage, and
all original parts, it shows normal cosmetic wear; top:

ST41 #5 1/2C corrugated oversize jack plane; early 1930's with
all original parts, lightly cleaned, free of damage; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t75.jpg $135.00
ST42 #5 1/2 oversize jack plane; a nice example that saw little
use, it's a hybrid of the type 11 and type 12 as Stanley
was using up parts on hand (Stanley never knew about any
type studies); three patent dates, tall knob, no ring,
and first sweetheart iron all appear to have been on the
plane when it left New Britain; a fine worker; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t75.jpg $155.00
ST43 #4 1/2C corrugated oversize smoothing plane; a type 13 with
all original parts, no damage, most japanning remains, it
wants a clean and should do so well; top:

ST44 #4C corrugated smoothing plane; 1930's production that saw
very little use, it has area of very superficial rust that
can be removed in minutes with 0000 steel wool; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t76.jpg $95.00
ST45 #606C corrugated Bed Rock fore plane; early round side model
with all original parts including the three-line embossed
lever cap; patent date embossed at heel, "B" casting, with
'92 patent iron; 75% japanning, exterior cleaned, it's
nicer that what's normally found; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t77.jpg $165.00
ST46 #19 block plane; early 1930's production, with long machined
bed, most original finish remains, no damage, a much nicer
plane than the #15 and #9 1/2 designs; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t88.jpg $65.00
ST47 #603 Bed Rock smoothing plane; ca.WWI with V-logo iron, the
lever cap is a replacement with no embossing; tote is split,
a chip on the knob at its base, it wants a good cleaning to
be put back to work, it's in no way terminal; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t90.jpg $160.00
ST48 Pair of squirrel tail miniature planes; the #100 1/2 with
its sole curved in two directions, and, brace yourself,
the AMT copy of the #100, which even AMT can't screw up;
both in sound worker shape; bottom two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t90.jpg $90.00
ST49 Uncommon #47 dado plane with nickel plating; an odd plane
that Stanley shouldn't have made (like many to follow), it's
a #46 that has no provision for a depth stop on the right of
main casting nor a fence, it never sold well, those that
show up are normally the japanned version, nickel plated
examples are difficult to find; with dulled plating, the
five cutters are in their original wooden case; don't buy
this to use (the #46 is better), buy it to tick the one of
each box; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t91.jpg $390.00
ST50 #79 side rabbet; with adjustable stop, it saw barely any
use; UK production, which is as good as US production,
which was halted with UK ones imported to sell in the US;
top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t91.jpg $85.00
ST51 Pair of spoke shaves, the #63, with its curved sole, and
the #64 with its curved, both have 1 1/2" wide cutters;
as found, free of damage, both pre-WWII production, will
clean to be find workers; bottom two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t92.jpg $65.00
ST52 #55 combination plane in the early tall wooden box with
most of the original label; a clean and carefully used
example, it's all there and is in sound worker shape;
four cutter cases have most of the bright green labels,
some minor staining; gizmodic gadgetry meets woodworking
with a dose of perturbation:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t94.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t94a.jpg $465.00
ST53 #3 smoothing plane; a type 11 with proper tall knob that
came later in production, the lever cap is a STANLEY
embossed replacement; as found, will make a fine worker;
bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t96.jpg $115.00
ST54 #42 saw set; early 1930's production with decal remnants on
it; strong spring, normal cosmetic wear; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t97.jpg $45.00
ST55 #5 1/2 oversize jack plane in its original box; box has
sweetheart label and no separation, which is uncommon for
larger plane boxes; iron's hardness test is April, 1940,
which ought to short circuit the brains of the obsessed
type-ophiles, it's proof that Stanley used up whatever
stock they had on hand whenever they could; plane was
used a few times and put away, some minor tarnish spots
don't detract; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t99.jpg $235.00
ST56 #12 1/2 rosewood sole scraper in its original box; from
early 1930's, sweetheart logo on cutter, it was used once
or twice and forgotten, the japanning is glossy; cover's
corners have been taped inside, a long seam is separated,
the box is nevertheless structural and has the sweetheart
logo; an uncommon tool to find in the box; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t100.jpg $335.00
ST57 #45 combination plane; dating to the late 1920's, it saw
very little use, all parts are present, the cutters in
their wooden sleeves; box's cover has been taped long ago
and shows normal rubs/scuffs/wear, it served its role well
by keeping the plane in glistening condition:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t101.jpg $325.00
ST58 #72 chamfer plane; earlier production with patent date
stamped in the cutter, it saw careful use, nearly all the
japanning remains, the main casting's looks to have a
protective coating on it; can be honed and used as is,
it's a sound working plane that allows you to cut chamfers
of variable widths; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t109.jpg $285.00
ST59 Uncommon 14" #25 bevel; the longest of the popular design,
it saw little use, most of the decal remains on the rose-
wood handle, the blade is stamped with the sweetheart logo;
ready to use; middle:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t110.jpg $95.00
ST60 #78 duplex rabbet; in the original box, never used, some
very minor storage grime, it's older UK production made
after US Stanley ceased manufacturing and decided garage
door openers were where it's at; can be honed and used as
is; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t111.jpg $95.00
ST61 Modern Stanley #62 low angle jack plane; probably growing
tired of garage door openers and cheap hardware, the brass
at Stanley decided to go back to hand tool production after
decades of ignoring their past, this recreation of the #62
surprisingly has good reviews; probably unused, all it
needs is a honing; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t113.jpg $125.00
ST62 Same as previous, but the #4 size smoothing plane with an
adjustable mouth; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t113.jpg $125.00

and Sims, they match well; owner mark, sound workers; top
left:

WP3 ECE block plane with adjuster that also acts as a grip;
unused; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t13.jpg $75.00
WP4 7" exotic wood smoother with boxwood wedge; a great wee
plane, free of damage, the body may be a dark mahogany, it
has a brownish/red color; with a 1 1/2" double iron by Buck
Bros., it's one of the nicest shipwright's planes I've seen;
top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t28.jpg $175.00
WP5 3/4" dado by Chapin-Shephens; clean, free of damage, a
good alternative to the #39 3/4 as it's more durable,
easier to use, and less costly; can be honed and used as
is; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t29.jpg $90.00
WP6 18th century 5/8" quirk ogee; a nice plane that has A.*P.
initials where the maker's mark normally is, it has a rich
reddish patina to the yellow birch; relieved wedge, flat
chamfers, its 9 1/2" length suggests central MA origin, it's
where it was found; owner initials, some very small nail
holes when the fence was shimmed so it could work thicker
stock; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t33.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t33a.jpg $115.00
WP7 Mockridge&Son/Newark 7/8" quirk ogee and astragal; with
a bit different proportions, it's as found, free of modi-
fication, dry surface, it never had a stop and can keep
cutting in the wood when an adjacent profile is needed;
owner mark, slender 1 1/2" long chip at the heel along
right edge, it saw very little use:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t34.jpg $120.00
WP8 H.Russell/Cabot, VT screw arm plough plane; with decorative
detail under the maker name, this as found example saw
little use and is exactly how it was when last used 100+
years ago; Vermont wooden planes are very uncommon, screw
arm ploughs even more so, I can't recall if, or when, I
saw one; overall fine shape, small chip on face of wedge's
finial; the most famous thing from Cabot, right behind
cheddar cheese, left:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t35a.jpg $255.00
WP9 3/4" match planes by Mockridge&Francis of Newark, NJ; the
perfect size for todays standard stock thickness, the groove

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t41.jpg $90.00
WP10 1/4" dado by Thos.Appleton/Boston; an uncommon width for
the wooden dados, it's in fine worker shape, free of damage,
when found it's often warped along its length, this one
escaped that; with owner marks; one of the easiest wooden
planes to use; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t41.jpg $90.00
WP11 Pair of side rabbets; cleaned and trued, they can be honed
and used as is; owner mark, with F.Wright/Maker stamping;
handy planes to clean up grooves, rabbets, etc.; bottom
two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t43.jpg $110.00
WP12 Earlier S.Palmer double iron sash plane; early looking
mark, rounded chamfers, it's been clean some time ago;

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t64a.jpg $285.00
WP15 Matching molding and coping planes by J.Webb/Pittsfield; I
can't figure this pair out as at first glance they appear
to be for sash, but they aren't as the double iron plane's
iron meet each other, perhaps they are used at the meeting
rail to create a finer joint to minimize air infiltration
there; always together, and by the same maker, the coping
plane isn't stamped, its fence is removable; little used,
an auxiliary fence was tacked onto the right side of the
double iron plane; for certain a rare pair; top two:

WP16 Adjustable panel raiser; with a moveable fence to set the
working width, a wedged nicker to make a crisp field, and
a skewed iron to work any grain direction, it has a shallow
bevel and is fine for most applications; 12" long, with
a strike button, it's very well made but only with owner
mark; top:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t65a.jpg $175.00
WP17 3/8" square ovolo by T.Tileston/Boston; a notable maker
whose quality is unsurpassed, never altered or cleaned,
still with some shavings in the throat from the last time
it was used, one side of the wedge was skimmed so it
fits better in its mortice, this was done due the body
shrinking a bit:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t78.jpg $90.00
WP18 3/8" astragal by T.Tileston/Boston; found with previous,
the two planes started out in the same shop and managed
to remain together for some 200 years; free of modification
and fine shape, it and the previous are good size for
cabinetwork:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t79.jpg $90.00
WP19 #16 hollow and round pair by Moseley&Sons; little used, with
owner mark; top two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t80.jpg $75.00
WP20 Graduated set of eight beads by Routledge/Birmingham; always
together, with same owner mark, dry surfaces, as found, the
sizes are 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8" (old chip
at heel of boxing), and 1":
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t81.jpg $210.00
WP21 N.Nutting massive 1 1/2" deep quirk ovolo; likely a custom
order, it saw very little use, it's a rare profile by an
uncommon maker; some harmless stable checks:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t82.jpg $185.00
WP22 3/4" ogee by Summers Varvill; never cleaned, perfect size
for today's stock, owner mark, a small bruise at the fence's
heel has no bearing on its use:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t83.jpg $115.00
WP23 Odd large torus bead and ogee, which almost seems smothered
by the bead; by Buck, it measures 1 5/8" wide; as found,
never cleaned or modified, boxing roughness at the heel,
owner mark:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t84.jpg $145.00
WP24 3/4" torus bead, cove, and bead by Fairclough; an uncommon
profile, nicely cleaned, with hole for helper handle at the
toe, nice proportions:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t85.jpg $155.00
WP25 Deep cove and bead by T.Tileston/Boston/Front St.; cuts
1 1/4" deep, it's a profile used below a mantle shelf or
similar; little used, owner mark, one side of the wedge
was planed long ago as the body shrunk a bit too much
around it; a very nice and uncommon plane:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t86.jpg $185.00
WP26 1/2" quirk ogee by Winstead Plane Co.; little used, good
proportions:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t93.jpg $115.00
WP27 23" shipwright's jointer made of lignum; with ancestry
that may have a lead ingot in the family tree, this thing
is extremely heavy for its size; razee body, the tote,
which has a harmless chip off the horn, looks to be beech,
the makers of these planes often mixed hardwoods, no two
are alike; stamped in the toe "A.Lincoln", it's not that
one, but another who worked coastal New England; 2 1/4"
double iron by Moulson, it's odd that its maker inlet a
lignum piece at the mouth; large chunks of lignum ex-
perience 'seismic' activity where splits/checks happen,
this one didn't escape that; nevertheless, this is a nice
plane with a great appearance; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t99.jpg $165.00
WP28 Odd pair of toted 1" match planes by Reed/Utica; the
tonguing plane has two irons, mouths, and throats, at the
sole a brass piece separates the two; the grooving plane's
steel skate is neatly filed below the tote's opening so
that it doesn't interfere with gripping it; little used,
no owner mark, a lot of effort was put into these; sound
workers that can cut the tongue and groove joint in 7/8"
to 1 1/4" thick stock; if you collect unusual wooden
planes, you'll like these; left:

WP29 3/8" match planes by Malloch/Perth; an uncommon size for
the tongue and groove joint, they are perfect for finer
work; barely used, with owner mark; top two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t102.jpg $95.00
WP30 1/16" bead by T.Turner/Sheffield; a rare size, I can't re-
call seeing one in the past; fully boxed sole, barely used,
with owner mark; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t102.jpg $145.00

with owner mark, found with previous; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t103.jpg $95.00
WP33 Odd quarter round, torus bead, cove by Griffiths/Norwich;
a lot of profiles in a compact size, it cuts 1/2" (or
thicker) stock; a fence was added to make it easier to
work, the plane was nicely cleaned, some typical hammer
marks on heel from backing the iron off:

it's made in England, as most of these are, the back of the

hensive look at the Dominy family's time capsule of an
18th century and early 19th century workshop on Long
Island, NY, it now resides at the Winterthur Museum;
with dust jacket, it's the 1976 third printing, it's
long been out of print; in sound shape, with some common

MS97 Three patented spokes shaves; each as found, with original
parts, and will clean well; a Simons' patent shave with
his name and Troy, NY location, and patent date embossed
on metallic wedge; a larger Humphrey's patent cavity
shave which does what the Millers Falls #1 circular shave
does; and a Holmes patent with its unique swing out cutter
locked in place with a single thumb screw; top left three:

wooden shoe lasts, they can work any wood; top right two:

MS99 Millers Falls #1 circular shave; the best selling design
for working curved edges, it's free of modification and
retains most of its original finish; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t57.jpg $90.00
MS100 Unusual larger frame brace; with a 'slotted' forging ad-
jacent to the chuck, this must have served some purpose
though I'm at a loss for what that is; large turned
head, shapely wing nut to secure the auger, it measures
17" overall; in sound shape, wooden plug in head fell
out long ago; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t58.jpg $145.00
MS101 Iron brace with decorative grip and nicer detail on the
top of the head; a simple design, where a thumb screw
(missing) secures the auger in the chuck, it deviates
from the standard with its nice details; manufactured
and out of a local collection; right:

MS104 Millers Falls No.4 ratcheting auger handle; the best in
class, it can ratchet left, right, or not at all, the
handles can be oriented at right angle to each other to
work obstructions; a great tool for timber framers, this
one has a reamer that you may wish to terrorize citrus
fruits; top left:

MS107 Scott's "end wood and miter plane"; one of the few planes
of its kind made in the US, the bronze casting has a
nicely molded bun, this one different from standard as it
has a bronze band surrounding the bun, a feature I haven't
seen before on this uncommon plane; exotic wood wedge was
split and glued, there a small amount of missing wood on
the finial, the heel shows knocks from backing the iron
and wedge off; fortunately, the plane hasn't been modified
or, worse, polished; good mass, and made in Cincinnati,
Ohio during ca.1890; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t67.jpg $490.00
MS108 Holt's Patent 12" sweep brace; a better design than the
Spofford, like that design, the Holt can accept nearly
any auger, a collar locks it securely to the frame,
whereas the Spofford use two 'jaw's to squeeze the
auger in place; as found, will clean to be a fine worker;
the larger sweep benefits more powerful boring; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t68.jpg $90.00
MS109 Spofford Patent 8" sweep brace; the popular model with the
wooden head and grip, it still has a fair bit of original

MS110 Siegley No.6C corrugated fore plane; a good as found ex-
ample, free of damage, and with all original parts, it's

carvers frequently used this size; owner mark; bottom
right:

MS113 A pair of two unrelated (at first glance) tools; a small
nail puller that fits in the claw hammer and made by
Goodell Pratt; and a very clean 2" Brown&Sharpe try square;
both ready to use, they are perfect for the fastidious
thoughts rattling around in your prefrontal cortex, where
machinist's tolerances meet woodworking, when driving a
nail/brad you decide to use the square to verify whether
it's perfectly perpendicular to the surface, and if not,
the nail puller can yank it and you get a mulligan to have
another go at perfection; left two:

MS115 Odd W.M.Keague March 25, 1864 (not a valid patent date)
patent crating tool; one I've never seen before, it has
a claw, adze, and hammer face on the forging, with a
wooden handle, for an overall length of 14 1/2"; with
name and date stamped in it, it's as found, and looks
to be in sound condition, even more so it certainly can
be used as a lethal weapon due to its similarity to a
shillelagh, perhaps Keague (an Irish surname) was
familiar with this weapon either from owning one or
taking one (too many) to the head as inspiration for its
creation; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t74.jpg $135.00
MS116 Small Colton's patent vise with 1 1/2" jaws; made to clamp
on a table/bench, it's as found, with normal grime, most
japanning remains; a popular design that can be found in
many configurations and sizes; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t74.jpg $55.00
MS117 Athol Machine Co. 6" quick adjust wrench; a finely made
tool, pushing a collar releases the movable jaw from the
rack so that it can be positioned much easier and faster
than a standard screw wrench, releasing the collar en-
gages the rack and the jaw stays put, a fine adjustment
screw does the final tightening; fully functional, as
found, in normal wrench condition, with knocks and
scuffs; bottom right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t74.jpg $85.00
MS118 Five clean front bent gouges in their original storage
tube (not in image); with integral knurled handles on the
forgings, this pattern was aimed at patternmakers, they
are rather uncommon; best quality, and barely used, the

handling tarnish; top:

MS121 Irwin twist augers in the original outer box and inner
wooden case; one may have been used once, the others not,
all are ready to go; a couple minor rust spots during
storage, this is the best pattern for general use; sizes
1/4" to 1" in 1/16" increments; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t87.jpg $185.00
MS122 3" slick with original turned handle; late 1800's pro-
duction by Riverside, it's guaranteed to be a fine quality
work; forging is 15 1/2" long, it can be honed and used
as is; a pit spot is over 1" from the edge, you'll likely
never reach it, but if so it can be polished out as it's
shallow; nice balance on this above average edge tool;
top:

MS123 5/8" mortice chisel with boxwood handle; retailed by C.

ditional English and American pattern; unused; top:

MS125 Pair of bone tools that came with the seam rubber listed
above; a letter opener with a handle carved as a fish,
it has a bend over its 8 1/2" length; and a decorative
knife with different colors to the blade and handle (came
from different animals), it's 7 1/4"; both are guaranteed
to be pre-WWII, they likely are made by bored sailors
aboard ships for the friends/family; bottom two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t89.jpg $185.00
MS126 Finely made countersink with turned handle; no doubt used
by a skilled tradesman, perhaps a gunsmith, the forging
is turned nicely, 6 1/4" overall, perhaps a record price
here for a lowly tool, but it's worth every penny; bottom
right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/jan/t91.jpg $75.00
MS127 Veritas scraping plane, their reinterpretation of the
Stanley #112; out of a working shop, still caked with the
evidence of origin, it saw careful use; free of damage,
it's fit with a Lie-Nielsen blade, which may create a
tear in the tooltime continuum, it nevertheless fits it
well; top:

MS128 Starrett No.452B cylinder gauge; used to determine if
cylindrical holes are true, its popular application is

time; top:

MS131 Record 073 rabbet and shoulder plane; earlier production
in its original box that has some separation on the

MS132 Bridge City BV-1 bench vise, unused in its original box;

MS135 8" miter plane by Cox/15 Grt.Qn.St./Lincoln's Inn Fields;
dovetailed steel construction, with rosewood stuffing and
wedge, the wedge's finial has brass plating to strengthen
it from being hit to back it off; replacement slotted iron,
strike button at heel missing, the steel is free of the
common pitting and the very fine mouth has not been altered;
steel bridge with Cupid's bow detail, this maker is very
uncommon, it dates to ca.1850; top:

MS136 J.Popping/N.York 1" rabbet plane; made in the manner of
the English makers, the 6 5/8" casting is stuffed with
wood (looks to be birch or mahogany), the wedge being the
same; dates to ca.1900, a group of New York City makers
aimed their products at high end tradesmen, notably
piano makers; in normal condition with usual signs of
use; middle:

that will quickly clean:

MS140 Large format book, "The Gentleman & Cabinet-Maker's
Directory by Thomas Chippendale; published 1938 by Towse
Publishing Co. of New York, the influential work, first
published in 1754 London, this is a copy of the third
edition of 1762; pages of plates that had a major impact
on cabinetmaking, his designs still find favor today,
many of America's greatest pieces of furniture owe their
'simplified' designs to Chippendale; from a library, it's
structurally sound, though showing normal wear on the cover;
12 1/2" by 18", it has introductory pages devoted to the
classic column orders, where a column's diameter is the
basis for proportions, moldings, and all the supporting
details, the cabinetmakers of this era until ca.1850 based
their work on these fundamentals; many pages at the back
of the book advertise furniture by companies that offered
designs of Chippendale:

has no bearing on its use; bottom:

MS142 Uncommon pull shave embossed "ALEXANDER BROS"; can't recall
seeing this one before, it a solid tool fit with a 2" wide

'elevation' relative to the sole; top:

MS143 Cooper's shave with cutter clamp embossed "P.SULLIVAN";
another one I can't recall seeing before, the design is
typical of those made around Nashua, NH, perhaps Sullivan
owned a larger cooperage and had these made for him;
16 1/2" long casting carrying a 2 1/2 wide cutter, there's
no japanning, it likely had that coating when new; bottom:

MS144 Cherry burl from our too many trees property here at the
tool crib, it made itself known while cutting firewood;
tough to measure its true dimensions, it's about 1.5+ the

MS145 Disston eight foot two-man crosscut saw with its original
wooden shipping slab that's stenciled with Disston name as
well as Adams Hardware and Paint of Lowell, Mass; as found
in a barn, the side photographed has usual rust from
sitting, it's been randomly decorated not with paint, but
bird droppings which should be proof enough that it
actually was found in a barn; the side facing the wood is
in nicer shape, free of avian poo, and should clean fairly
well, some of the original etching is visible, I couldn't
get a good photograph of that; once these saws top six
feet, they become much less common, finding one with its
original slab of wood is even more so; this can be de-
livered to York, PA, Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA area, and
Columbia, SC area, or picked up at the open pit tool mine
in MA:
