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 s#65old
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 Anyone who does woodworking is well familiar with the
Bailey design metallic bench plane, but nearly all have
no idea what his earliest production looked like and that
many iterations were needed to perfect design; what was
one of the most notable patents ever granted for a plane,
Bailey received that August 7, 1855 which calls for an iron
to be rotated relative to the sole of the plane, thus
permitting the iron's set to be changed finely; this patent
was applied to the #12 scraper and remained fairly true
to the specification, but it also was applied to bench
planes, which Bailey took in a completely different
direction; instead of a single casting, Bailey made two
castings to carry the iron, with the castings joined
at a hinge behind the iron; a screw at the front of the
upper casting allows that casting to raise/lower relative
to the bottom casting thereby rocking the iron to change
its pitch; it's a rather ingenious design and with a
simple turn of the screw, the iron can be set fine while
simultaneously closing the mouth; while the design seems
sound, it's its manufacture that proved a problem as too
many castings and too much machining, with some hand
finishing, made the planes too costly; dubbed the "split
frame" in tool collecting circles, Bailey ultimately
dropped the idea of a two piece casting for a single
casting, but kept the rocking motion of iron with the
invention of the frog which is pinned to the sidewalls
of the casting; the example here is Bailey's first
design of the split frame and is the least common of
the three models; with all original parts, and never
messed with, the only apology is a splinter off the
tote; the jack plane size, the quality of Bailey's
planes are far superior to anything made contemporary
to Bailey's early productions, this one being no
exception, it has the cool Whiting (of Worcester) iron
that features a logo of a bench plane; a significant and
great example out of the Inner Sanctum, it proves that
two isn't necessarily better than one when it comes to
planes:

box and with instructions; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t5.jpg $45.00
ST9 #110 Spofford pattern brace; used once or twice and then
put away, this 10" sweep brace is identical in all regards
to the Fray model, which Stanley purchased; rosewood head
and grip, nearly all japanned finish on the frame, it would
be difficult to find a cleaner one; a difficult brace to
find in this condition; left:

ST13 #193A (may be model B, C, Q, X, Z, or the diphthong GH) in
the original box; never having touched one, or bought one
deliberately, this one came in a huge collection of stuff,
I begged the seller to keep it; in the original box, the
label has some missing (thus my not knowing which model it
is it), it looks unused, complete, and with original
instructions, the value of usable parts (and scrap metal)
alone is worth the price as the rosewood knob and tote can
find a better home on your bench plane; top left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t10.jpg $135.00
ST14 #248A weather stripping plow; used by many today for general
grooving work, this one was used once or twice then was put

ST15 No.1104 Victor smooth plane in the original box and with
uncommon display tag; unused, with brightly contrasting
colors, the cap iron is red; a step down from Stanley's

national hardware week; box has a split corner; bottom:

minor finish loss, only in need of a honing, it's a great
shave design that allows the iron to be adjusted for set

to reduce tear out; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t11.jpg $155.00
ST18 #98 12" fully brass bound rosewood level; designed to
compete with the finer Stratton Bros. output, Stanley
upped their effort to make this model level, it's their
best model; in decent shape, never cleaned, small ding at
one corner, the plumb vial must have been replaced long
ago as the two countersunk screws are round head replace-
ments (easy to put those right, the same screws are used
on most of Stanley's wooden levels); top right:

1928 sale's receipt from The Winchester Store in Hastings,
Nebraska; a great example that may have been used once,
then was put back into the original picture label box, the
plane has the sweetheart logo on the iron; not many tools
have their provenance with them, this is a rare chance to
buy one that does; top left corner of the label is gone;
a great example; left:

end was split out and repaired, there is the usual break
along the left cheek that was milled neatly to arrest it,

ST75 #993 corner brace; the best quality brace of its kind made
by Stanley, it saw barely any use, retains most of the
original finish, with a few minor areas of tarnish; ready
to bore at difficult to access locations, it can take the
standard Irwin and Jennings pattern augers; middle:

ST76 Uncommon medical eggbeater style drill made for the US
Medical Dept.; much less common than the brace, this one
is in extra clean condition and has a common twist drill
in the chuck; works freely, likely used on several victims,
er, patients, it's still 100% usable now that you have to
do your own doctoring since the US medical structure has
been turned upside down; bottom:

ST77 #141 Millers Patent nickel plated plough; an earlier model

ST78 Four reprint large format catalogs; top most saw most
wear, the spine is shot, the back three are in fine shape;
good reference to Stanley's production from ca.WWI to the
mid-1930's, and much less costly than buying the originals;

into your type collection of #2 planes; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t85.jpg $225.00
ST87 Uncommon #240 sliding rule; the shortest of the series
that has two boxwood rules that slide over each other so
they can extend to measure a greater length, it excels
when measuring inside dimensions of an opening; in nearly
new condition, ready to use, and far more difficult to find
than the longer ones; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t88.jpg $110.00
ST88 Extra clean #113 circular plane; a ca.1930 example with
all original parts, no damage, all it needs is a honing;
minor tarnish on the sole, japanning is 90%, the plane
of choice for irregular curvature planing, it also does
a fine job on regular curves; top:

ST91 #53 adjustable mouth spoke shave; as found, all original
parts, nearly all japanning, a heavy rust area at top of

dates it ca.WWI; will clean to make a fine worker, the
mouth can be opened/closed by turning a thumb screw on
the yoke; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t95.jpg $40.00
ST92 #77 dowel making machine; as found, right out a shop, with
no damage, all original parts, 95% japanning, and the
standard 3/8" diameter cutter (for use on 3/4" thick
stock); when the strength of dowels is important, it's
best to make your own as you can select straight grain,
something impossible on store bought dowels; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t99.jpg $375.00
ST93 #1 lever cap; the most desirable model, with strong
"STANLEY" embossing, never cleaned and no damage; the
most desirable part of the #1 plane; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t101.jpg $285.00
ST94 #7 jointer; a good type 13 sweetheart example with a first
sweetheart logo iron (perhaps Stanley found a pile of
lost irons - they would never not use stuff whenever and
wherever they wanted); as found, no damage, 90% japanning,
it'll make a fine worker after a quick clean, or you can
use it with a honing and clean it later; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t102.jpg $185.00
ST95 #255 cast iron tool holder; a fragile tool that's often
found damaged, this one escaped that fate and is waiting
for you to break it (it won't break, as long as you don't
try to close it when the tools are fit properly); a lot
of cast iron on this tool, think how nice your complete
and matching Everlastings, #720's, and #750's will look
in this ca.1900 tool; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t103.jpg $265.00

ST97 #98 double arm marking and morticing gauge; a fine multi
purpose tool, the rotating disks permit marking various
materials, it's well suited for endgrain marking; standard
pins at the ends opposite the disks; all original parts,
in sound condition, plating is about 75%; middle:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t111.jpg $40.00
ST98 #10 jack rabbet; as found, with no damage and all original
parts, it'll clean to make a fine worker; a previous owner
put some red paint on it to make it clear to those with
ill intent that it belonged to him; a mid-1890's model,
the logo on the iron was sanded off; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t113.jpg $110.00
ST99 Type 2 #7 jointer; a good example that served time well,
with all original parts, no damage, and only in need of
a honing to be put back to work; the first Stanley made
batch of planes after buying Bailey out, this one dates
to the early 1870's; my favorite vintage of bench planes;

ST100 #62 two-foot, four-fold fully brass bound boxwood rule;

rule today; bottom left:

used, and ready to measure; bottom middle:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t115.jpg $25.00

that saw little use; sliding brass caliper, it's ready
to go; bottom right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t115.jpg $35.00
ST103 #71 gunmetal rabbet shave; Stanley thought to offer this
unique metal option when the cast iron example would work
just as well, perhaps Stanley was thinking that all the
coachbuilders wanted brass tools since so many of that
trades were made of that metal; whatever they thought, the
tool never sold in any great number; from the 1920's, with
sweetheart logo on the iron, lightly cleaned, it, like
most examples, is missing the adjustable fence, the cast
iron model never had one, which indicates just how useless
the fence is to this tool; top right:

WOOD PLANES
**** ******
WP1 Casey Kitchell moving fillister with integral tote; as
found, dry surfaces, fully boxed shoulder, screwed stop,
nicker iron, no rework, area of roughness on leading edge
of the adjustable fence, it'll clean to make a solid worker;
a plane designed to cut a rabbet in any grain direction,
the skewed iron can peel shavings cross-grain; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t17.jpg $125.00
WP2 Screw arm plough plane with matching set of eight irons;
offered for restoration, the plane is missing its wedge,
that's simple to make; plane is made by Wells, of Williams-
burg, MA, it has his stylistic turned nuts, those, the
washers, arms, and a strip dovetailed into the fence are
made of boxwood; plane is structurally fine, irons will
need a clean/polishing, there is some pitting that's mostly
at the tops; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t79.jpg $185.00
WP3 Odd 5/8" (depth of cut) quirked Grecian ovolo, cove, and
astragal by T.Tileston; a profile difficult to find on
any plane, especially American ones, this had to be a
custom order as the common cove and astragal portion is
not proportioned as it normally is; in little used con-
dition, never cleaned, no owner marks, small ding at heel
of boxing, a bit of staining on the nose:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t87.jpg $255.00
WP4 1 1/4" skewed and boxed rabbet plane by Hills&Winship; odd
for an American rabbet plane to have a boxwood shoulder,
this as found example is in sound worker shape, with an
length of roughness in the boxwood several inches behind
the iron; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t90.jpg $45.00
WP5 Panel raiser by S.Cumings; the American jack plane size
style in little used condition and free of modification;
cuts a 1 3/4" wide panel, this as found example has a
stable check forward of the iron, the heel of the iron
has split/bend on it, neither hinder this plane from being
a fine worker; so many panel raisers have been altered,
this mid-19th example escaped that; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t93.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t93a.jpg $235.00
WP6 Barely used Atkins&Sons sash fillister; designed to fence
off the left edge of the work and cut the right side of
the work, it's a solution to keep the plane cutting true
and prevent it from walking off the edge; fully boxed
shoulder, a bit of separation from the beech stock, boxwood
wedges to secure the nicker iron and arms, free of owner
marks, it would be difficult to find a cleaner example;
right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t93.jpg $125.00
WP7 Auburn Tool Co. moving fillister with integral tote; boxed
shoulder, screwed stop, never abused, expected dings and
knocks, the wedge was pared a bit down in the throat for
smoother ejection of shavings; it's a solid worker example
for cutting a rabbet in any grain direction; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t94.jpg $145.00
WP8 3/4" (depth of cut) J.M.Taber quirked ovolo and astragal;
as found, never messed with, original surfaces (a bit dry
and dirty), owner initials, small ding at heel of boxing,
this is a fine example of a ca.1825 New Bedford, MA plane o
that's perfect for today's standard stock thicknes:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t97.jpg $115.00
WP9 American 18th century 3/4" (depth of cut) bolection molder;
unsprung, it works vertically relative to the edge,
springing hadn't been 'discovered' when this one was made;
broad flat chamfers on the 10" long stock, it's either
fruitwood or yellow birch; early initials in the toe, no
owner marks, the plane is free of alteration, the wedge
finial is missing in action from long ago; a nice plane
that survived the centuries well:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t98.jpg $125.00
WP10 5/8" match planes by Greenfield Tool Co.; always together,
barely used, no owner marks, the original buyer of these
chose to purchase the grooving plane with a steel plated
fence as he likely was going to use that for general
grooving and wanted longer wear with it; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t100.jpg $85.00
WP11 3/4" dado plane by King&Co.; in fine worker shape, only in
need of a honing, perfect width for today's standard stock
thickness, when it was originally made 7/8" was the
standard; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t100.jpg $85.00
WP12 1/4" double bead by Copeland&Co.; designed to cut a left
or right bead on either side of the work, or to use left
or right hand when grain change produces tear out (as it
often does when cutting beads); in sound shape, refinished,
never altered or abused, owner's name gouged out of the
heel, it's in sound worker shape and a perfect size for
finer cabinetwork; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t109.jpg $125.00
WP13 Miniature round by John Veit of Philadelphia; a lovely wee
plane that's just 5" long, it saw very little use and has
a nice patina to the beech; definitely not a re-work,
never abused, the left side uses a cove to diminish the
width of the stock to the sole; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t116.jpg $185.00
WP14 Nice boxwood plough plane with four white tips at the ends
of the arms; made by L.&I.J.White, as found, never abused,
good color to the boxwood, it's a fine example of ca.1875
planemaking in upstate New York; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t118.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t118a.jpg $590.00
WP15 I.Lindenberger 12" skewed rabbet; a special purpose length,
yellow birch, late 1700's Providence maker, no owner's
marks, sides were refinished, typical deep maker's mark
that can be read from miles away, there's a splinter at
the heel that hasn't completely pulled away from the body;
Lindenberger trained in Philadelphia, then took his show
on the road, his mid-Atlantic plane style contrasts with
the New England style; bottom right:

*************
MS1 As close to brand new condition as a slick can come, a
3" wood-eater with original turned handle by Fulton; a
firm most has never heard of before, it's a great quality
maker pre-WWI, the metal glistens with its original
polishing; socket is offset so that the handle doesn't
make contact with the work; only in need of a honing,
overall length of 31", the owner spent more time stamping
his initials directly below the socket than he ever did
using it; top:

MS3 Little Victor block plane with original red finish on the
interior; all original, much less common than the fully
japanned model, most of the external nickel plating has
worn off, the adjuster retains most of its plating, the
red finish is 90%; an uncommon version of this popular
plane that is designed for all sorts of trimming it also
functions as a pencil sharpener; top left:

MS4 Stranahan's blind nailing plane; a very clean example with
nearly all original plating; never seen a nicer one, the

heads cannot be seen); ready to use or display; bottom

MS5 Millers Falls catalog No.35 1915 product catalog with
original price pamphlet; in sound shape, a bit of soiling
along the spine, it's a great reference to the company's

MS12 Fray No.112 12" Spofford brace that's also stamped with
Stanley Rule and Level; made when Fray sold to Stanley,
and launched Stanley into the brace business, this example
is in much cleaner than usual shape, 75% nickel plating
remains on the frame; in fine worker shape, the design is
as popular today as when first made due to its ease of use
and ability to hold nearly any bit in its chuck; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t7.jpg $125.00
MS13 Goodell-Pratt No.231 screw driver set in the original box;

typical of lignum; middle:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t9.jpg $85.00
MS16 Stackpole's 1867 Patent brace with the odd rotating shell
that has slots cut in it to engage lugs on the jaws; an
uncommon variant, this one has an iron shell, not brass,
which seems to be the most common version; in fine shape,
stamped with Stackpole's name on the 8" sweep frame, the
frame itself is longer than typical, the overall length is
14"; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may/t9.jpg $185.00

Pratt; left:

MS23 Barrett's Patent double arm marking gauge as manufactured
by Goodell-Pratt; as clean as they come, fine graduations
on arm, the gauge uses disks to do the marking on a wide
variety of materials, the hexagonal head prevents it from
rolling about on the bench; can be used as a common marking
gauge and a mortice gauge; finest quality; bottom right:

Shelburne Falls, MA location; 10" sweep, it's a simple
design, where turning the chuck shell opens/closes the
two jaws, it doesn't screw onto the frame; right:

MS126 Odd saw file patented April 24, 1906 by Peter Lord of
Worcester, MA; a strange thing, maybe used a couple times
and then put back into the remains of the original box,
it has what looks like a stainless steel body onto which
a series of short triangular (cross-section) files are
attached; very well made, lots of mass, 16" long, the
patent specification says it's for bandsaws, I imagine it
can file rip saws with coarser teeth; first of its kind
I've seen; bottom:

MS127 Extra clean Victor No.1 fully adjustable block plane;
round II of Leonard Bailey's plane line, after he got
po'd at Stanley over royalty rights, his distinctive
line of planes illustrate how far Bailey evolved in
tool design over the years; mechanically complex, and
requiring more machining than his earlier efforts, this
example it the pinnacle of his block plane design; all
original parts, nearly all original finish, just a hint
of roughness at the back of the mouth, you'll see 100's
of dogs barking at this best in show trying to be top
dog, but those hounds won't hunt when compared to this
one; right:

the "YANKEE" name in the hard rubber head; as found, and
fully operable with no damage, just minor finish wear,

telephone/telegraph lineman while up poles fitting them
for wires; a larger sweep for more powerful applications;

MS129 Disston 10" backsaw; a clean worker that has teeth still
sharp enough to use on softer woods; free of damage, no

away and it keeps coming back at you; bottom:

MS130 Simonds No.72 26" skew back 8pt rip saw; the Fitchburg, MA
company's best model, with the enameled escutcheon showing
the $2.00 price, this as found example needs a bit of tlc
to make it a sound worker again; slight bend, some missing
teefussez, you'll have one of the best saws ever made as
a reward of your elbow grease; top:

MS131 Interesting axe head with painted lettering that reads
"GARRETT'S BLACK DIAMOND AXE HAND MADE", the backside
is stamped "copyright secured"; perhaps a patent or
design model, I don't believe it's ever been used, the
painted lettering on the backside is worn, but reads
"DAMASCUS TEMPER" and is also stamped hand made; probably
not another like it, you don't want to be chopping oak
or locust with this one; bottom right:

patent date, and Winchendon, MA location, it's one of
his less common designs in most uncommon condition;

MS137 Extra clean and barely used Slater-made shoulder plane
that was produced for Marples; like buying on new, the
mahogany wedge has the Marples name stamped in it, the
dead giveaway of the Slater manufacture is the small "M"
stamped below the strike button, the "M" standing for
malleable iron; never altered or abused, no owner marks,
1 1/4" width, lightly cleaned, all you need to do is hone
the iron and start making airtight joinery; this one was
lost in a time capsule; bottom:

fully functional, nickel plating is 75%; clearly stamped
with the maker's name and 1860's patent dates, it was
offered in a range of sizes, from this small one that has
2" wide jaws up to massive things that can keep still in
