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
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.
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 A fresh discovery to the world of #2 size planes, this
may be the earliest one yet, a Worrall's Patent of May
26, 1856; with a sole measuring 7 1/2" long, the cutter
1 5/8" wide, it meets the criteria for being a #2 size
plane; with the cast iron top that runs the length of
the wooden base, the patent specifies a clever way of
securing the cutter with a bolt that draws a cleat
attached on the back of the iron, this same mechanism
is used on the ECE adjustable wooden bench planes all
these years later; made by the Lowell Plane & Tool Co.,
the firm really cranked out all sorts of planes, many
of these in various lengths, this is the first #2 size
of which I'm aware, it was found locally, just some 25
miles from where it was made; in overall fine shape,
there is a notable flaw, a flaw that is commonly found
on the smoothing planes that have a projection integral
to the cast iron top - it snaps off from downward pre-
ssure applied on the tote; regular cast iron simply
cannot withstand the applied forces with nothing to
support it below, such is the case with this plane;
were it present, this plane would be pushing five
figures, but due to its uniqueness, it's certainly
worthy of a serious collection of #2 size planes; the
Stanley #2 is photographed along side of it to show
its scale, that plane is not included with the Worrall's:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t97.jpg $110.00
ST43 #20 Everlasting 3/4" bevel edge chisel; a worker that saw
a fairly tough life, it has plenty of life left in it after
grinding an new edge, about 3/16" needs to be removed as
some numbnuts beveled it on the backside as well; a solid
worker will be the reward of your efforts; middle:

ST46 #77 doweling machine; a very clean and barely used example,
only some finish loss on the wooden handle, probably during

stronger dowels than the junk you buy in the store:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t107a.jpg $335.00

edge; the #28 and #29, which work 1/16", 1/8", 3/8", and

like so many are; if you've ever cut yourself on, or

how handy these are; bottom right two:

ST48 #3C corrugated smoothing plane; early 1930's production with

on the main casting, it's a fine worker; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t133.jpg $125.00

from the 1920's, with sweetheart logo, it's the longest
folding rule Stanley offered; as found, most original finish
remains, one side a bit dry (the side shown in the photo),
it can easily be used as is, or you can give a coat of wax
or oil to improve the finish; a fine worker for larger
measuring projects; bottom:

WOOD PLANES
**** ******
WP1 Pair of worker snipe bills by Gleave/Manchester; dark
patina, always together, same owner mark, boxing is free
of cracks, each has a tiny ding at the heel, which is
almost always the case; bottom two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t4.jpg $175.00
WP2 Clean 16" beech jack plane by Marples; used a few times,
some minor scratches in sole, still with decals, it can
be honed and used as is; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t7.jpg $110.00
WP3 Preston bull nose chamfer plane; adjustable fence sets the
width of cut, the cutter is at the toe so it can do stopped
and regular work; fine mouth, which is formed by the brass
plate at the toe; great quality, no owner mark, free of
modification, the iron can be honed and used as is; top
left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t9.jpg $115.00
WP4 Clean pair of side snipes; complimenting the work of snipe
bills and hollows and rounds, these planes were often sold
with hollows and rounds to make for cleaner transition of
the molded work to the non-molded area; by Edwards/Manchester,
same owner mark, nicely cleaned, free of modification, the
heel of the boxing shows usual roughness; can be honed and
used as is; bottom two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t10.jpg $175.00
WP5 C.Triggs quirk ogee and astragal; rather strange propor-
tions, it's a ca.1800 effort that has little spring and
no boxing; cuts 3/4" deep by 1" wide, never cleaned or
modified, with owner marks; broad round chamfers, a small
chip off the quirk at the heel:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t14.jpg $120.00
WP6 Mathieson moving fillister; the perfect solution to cut a
rabbet in any grain direction, a wedged nicker scores the
grain to make a clean shoulder, the side is fully boxed
for longer wear, an adjustable stop and fence control the
depth and width of cut; the nicest example I've had since
I can't remember when, no owner mark, some minor banging
on the heel from backing the iron off, it's barely used,
all you need to do is hone the iron; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t18.jpg $190.00
WP7 7/8" match planes by Hollingworth; a good size to work 3/4"
to 1" stock when cutting the popular tongue and groove
joint; with owner mark, free of modification, sound workers;
bottom two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t18.jpg $80.00
WP8 3/8" match planes by Burley; for narrow work that requires
a tongue and groove joint, it's a rather uncommon pair; as
found, owner mark, no damage; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t20.jpg $90.00
WP9 German moving fillister; with brass fence and stop, it
does what the American and English planes do, but with a
different design; skewed cutter, shoulder boxed with horn-
beam, the nicker is secured with an eye bolt; made by
Famous, it saw careful use and had plenty left in it;
left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t24.jpg $95.00
WP10 Double iron sash plane by L.Scovil; cuts the common square
ovolo simultaneously with the rabbet; as found, never abused,
dry surface, it saw very little use, all of it over 150 years
ago; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t31.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t31a.jpg $115.00
WP11 Odd 1/16" fenced grooving (and dado) plane by R.Nelson;
resembling the common fenced grooving planes that do the
work that a Record 043 does, this one is far from that in
quality and design as it has a nicker iron forward of the
cutter in the manner of a common dado; for custom work,
the fence is adjustable and made like a common moving
fillister's is, it also has an adjustable depth stop; a
short plane, at 8 1/2", it's in fine shape, little used,
and with no owner marks; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t33.jpg $185.00
WP12 Rosewood and beech coachmaker's 6 3/4" long plough plane;
with rosewood fence and arms, a beech stock, rosewood
wedges, this craftsman made plane is in fine shape, the
curved skate at the toe adds to its charm; designed so it
can work smaller stuff, it's been lightly cleaned, has
owner mark, and no iron; a better quality example than
most, its maker put more effort to make it look nice as
well as to make it a sound worker for his custom jobs;

box) up/down relative to the sole, a brass screw locks it in
place; with owner mark, the plane saw limited use, it was
stored with the wedge and iron out of it, the body shrank a
bit so the mortice needs a few strokes with a rasp to make
a proper fit; top left:

wedge; fit with a Siegley iron, the planes were owner made
a come with a wide variety or irons found in the owner's

MS51 Preston No.1368 1 1/2" shoulder/rabbet plane; the widest of

side in the bag, there's no pitting, just spotty tarnish,
that side of the plane is photographed; can be honed and
used as is, this a hefty plane that wants to stay in
motion as it slices across and with any grain below it;

MS52 Ultimatum-style brass frame brace with ebony stuffing; the
design, and patent, made famous by Marples, this is a
"trade" brace made for retail by a dealer in Maidstone,
Haynes Bros. (I was told they also were an automobile
dealership and are still in business doing something
else); representing the pinnacle in English brace design,
these are lovely things, with good mass thanks to the
brass and ebony, it's as found and free of owner marks;
chuck works fine, the entire white ring is in the head,
it shows normal knocks/scuffs, but nothing hideous,
there is a stable check in the ebony stuffing at the
chuck; very lightly cleaned, but not to the point of
needing welder's goggles to view it as so many re-
quire; bottom:

MS126 Four planemaker's tools made by Mazzaglia Tool; three
floats shaped like plane wedges, a clever design, and a
saw with a similarly shaped handle, they were made by
a maker relatively close to me; barely used, look to be
a fine quality, I don't know if the maker is still in
business or if it is whether these are available new;

one of the nicest patterns offered by the many makers
and retailers of levels; top:

MS128 Odd ebony compound bevel; a strange thing that can carry
two bevels simultaneously, the two end pieces are brass
plated, all of it folds into a compact 8" long by 1 3/4"
wide object; likely owner made, but of a professional
quality, and in fine shape; bottom left:

MS129 Kansas City Tool Works 'cigar' shave; made similar to the
screwed and plated design made popular by the Sheffield
makers, 8" long, unused, some minor tarnish on sole's
brass plate; easy to use, the nets set their respective
tang (on the cutter), your thumbs put pressure on the nuts
during use; no longer in production; bottom right:

MS130 Brass stuffed mallet by Woodworkers Edge; the classic
joiner's mallet that has all the mass needed to drive
joints together without marring the work, the brass pro-
vides the mass, the wooden stuffing offers the striking
face, both of which are secured with the handle; easy
to knock apart when the stuffing needs replacement, it's
a bit smaller than the old ones, the cheeks are engraved
with a sailing ship and a face, the top has acanthus
leaf pattern around the hole, all done by Catharine
Kennedy; I don't know if this tool is still available
new today, I don't believe this one ever struck wood;

MS131 Decorative cross peen hammer; a lovely thing made for a
short time by Tools For Working Wood, it's been engraved

ages to look old and fool seasoned toolies; 4" long head,
octagonal handle that's a bit loose due to seasonal
shrinkage, it looks unused; second from left:

this one pre-dates their retailing it; a double end design
with brass and wood faces; on a figured maple handle, it
saw use showing marring on both faces, the wood has a
check; milled area has "WILE" stamped in it, it may be a
type 1 production, still with lots of life left in it;

MS137 20 1/2" cast jointer with bronze lever cap; kinda sorta
resembling a Knowles style plane, it has loads of mass
and a fine mouth, a turned knob is secured to the casting,
there is some chipping to that, a closed tote mounted on
a brass plate pushes the mass; as found, it will benefit
from a clean and make a fine worker; top:

have likely used if they offered it); little used, but
caked with sawdust, the plane dates to the early 1930's

Catharine Kennedy; iron model patterned after the Bed Rock
design, it features a detailed sailing ship on one cheek

MS151 Hollowing shave with extra deep curvature; probably French

MS154 Triangular drill index by Morse Twist Drill of New Bedford,
MA; patented August 7, 1906, nearly all the nickel plating
remains on this larger index that takes 1/16"-1/2" diameter
twist drills; not to be confused with the smaller and lower
quality example, this one is only for those who are serious
about keeping their drills in perfect order; top:

MS155 Massive pair of turned wooden trammels; mounted on a later
beam made of exotic wood, each trammel is 12 1/2" long; a
very nice example, obviously used for larger layout work,
the scale of these can't be appreciated from a photo; in
fine shape, one brass ferrule is missing, the turnings are
maple or sycamore; these are awesome; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/mar/t92.jpg $265.00
MS156 Rodier's jack plane; one of the more unusual American-made
planes (in Westfield, MA) it's the brainchild of Louis
Rodier, a Canadian who sought America for his fame and
fortune, both those certainly escaped him on this design;
with all original parts, it's offered for parts/restoration
as the mouth (behind the iron) is blown out and the knob
has chips around the base, the tote shows some minor loss
on the horn; has the original Buck Bros. iron, these are
difficult to find unslotted; it seems unbelievable that
the mouth on this could be so damage, perhaps its first
owner punched it out in a fit of rage over buying this
plane; bottom:

MS164 Smoothing plane by Blum Tool Co.; dusty from sitting in

boring; top two:

MS169 3 1/2" slick with original turned handle; stamped Middlesex
Mfg., it saw little use and is in much nicer than usual
slick condition; laminated steel construction, the back
wants polishing as you use it since there's is some very
minor pit spots that typical form on the high carbon steel
used for these tools; guaranteed to be a great worker, it's
one of many tools made in Middletown, CT during the 19th
century, that place never gets much credit for that in-
dustry due to New Britain's location; bottom:

MS182 28" 4pt ripsaw by Spear&Jackson; a very nice example that
was never used on granite or iron, solely wood, it's a
fine quality worker that still has decal remnants around
the escutcheon; progressive teeth, with finer ones located
at the toe to start the thing, it will easily shred wood
with each powerful stroke; still somewhat sharp, etching
visible, owner mark in handle, the English ripsaws are
among some of the best made; top:
