If you have questions about what the Stanley numbers are, you can
look the planes up on Blood&Gore:

Sometimes, emails to/from me are vectored to some cyber black
hole, never reaching their destination. I answer all emails, so if
you haven't heard from me, your/my email is likely having high tea
in said black hole, never to be heard from, so please try again.
If there is anything in particular that you're after, do ping me
as there is a lot of stuff here that isn't on the list; the list
just represents a snapshot of the previous month's haul with none
of the stuff having appeared on a previous list. I like to keep
things fresh here.
Please email me prior to sending money so that you can be sure
the item is still up for grabs. Also, prices do not include shipping,
which is the amount that it takes to go from me to you via the US
Post Office.
This list goes out to many people, normally on the first Monday
of the month (unless otherwise noted above). So, if you see something
you want, it's the quickest finger on the trigger that wins the duel.
Some folks become upset that they miss out on a tool. I wish I had
lots of this stuff many times over so I can satisfy the demand, but
that is normally not the case. Some of it does have duplicates here,
and if so, I will state that in my reply to you.
Also, due to the nature of selling over the wires, tools are sold
on a first come, first serve basis. The first person to say "I'll
take it", gets it. I have to operate this way as some will take a
few days to get back to me with their interest in a particular item,
and it's unfair to keep others waiting who are willing to buy the
item immediately.
I reserve the right to correct typographical errors after the list
goes out. I rarely make them, but when I do they can be major ones.
If you're the kind of person who puts a straightedge to the sole of
a #40, to check it for flatness, or who tosses a plane on a scale to
weight it against what it states in the Stanley catalogs, you'll need
to take your business elsewhere. I'll wish you luck finding perfection
in something that was never made, nor intended to be, perfect. You guys
know who you are, and it's best for both of us that our paths not cross.
Lastly, and I don't like to mention this, but if you tell me that
money is on the way for something you want, and you never make good
on it, we won't be doing business in the future. It's unfair, actually
downright discourteous, to others who want the same thing, and I tell
them it's sold. Pull this on me, and you're exorcised from the list.
Sorry, but I don't tolerate this behavior well at all.
Don't forget the cool new tools that I'm making - a jazzy layout
knife being used by professionals (made the cover of Feb.1998 FWW!),
a detachable block plane handle designed to fit your standard pitch
block planes, a killer Robinson's Improved Patent sliding bevel, a
tilting jaw for your Emmert's vise, and the finest bench plane in
production today, the Bed Rock #601. You can see it all at:

Remember, you don't have to be a connoisseur (did I spell that
correctly) to shop here. You can be a wirehead, a metalhead, a zipper-
head, a propellerhead, a deadhead, a cokehead, or even a knuckle
dragging oaf, just like me, to shop here, as long as your dinero is
green.
Thanks for shopping, and remember that no letters or words were
injured when writing this list...
FEATURED TOOL OF THE MONTH
******** **** ** *** *****
FT1 The large tool youth is holding large folding rule to
measure a large barn that managed to plop itself onto
the property (at a large cost); the large folding rule
isn't just any rule, in fact, it's not a rule you can
use to measure anything as it's shop display/advertising
rule that's twice the size of a standard two-foot,
four-fold boxwood rule; instead, it's a four-foot,
four-fold boxwood rule where every dimension is twice
the normal size, including the graduations of 1" == 2";
were the graduations less than the standard length, one
might confuse it for a shrink rule, but it's difficult
to confuse it as an expand rule (unless you labor to
make Wonder Bread, with its top secret ingredient of
expand dough); made by John Rabone and of identical
construction to its standard size little brother, the
maker's name and advertising info is stamped on both
external faces; in fine shape, dating to ca.WWI; it has
all alignment pins, great patina, and real eye appeal;
a true rarity, it will compliment a collection of rules
or the oversize tools that were used to lure customers
into a shop or as a trade show display; the #1 and #8
bench planes in the images are not included with the
rule, they are shown to illustrate the size of the
thing and are available below:

and no damage, it's in fine worker shape; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t110.jpg $95.00
ST79 #811 10" sweep brace with concealed ratchet; my favorite
Stanley brace, turning a collar above the chuck controls
the ratchet, there's no chance shavings can get into the
mechanism like it can with other designs; ready to use, it
takes the common twist auger patterns you know and love;

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t114.jpg $90.00
ST80 #17 two-foot, two-fold brass rule; lightly cleaned, 100%
usable, made to work with metal where a wooden rule would
get the daylights beat out of it; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t119.jpg $65.00
ST81 #18 sliding bevel with 10" blade; as found, some minor
surface rust, a WWII model made with no plating, butt
locking screw works well; a very popular design; top left:

ST82 #3 trammels with dowel pointer; as found, sound workers,
no damage, the trammels are the later model that came with
a pencil clasp, that's MIA; left three:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t123.jpg $75.00
ST83 #2 smoothing plane in the original box; the uncommon last
model that is an inch longer than previous production, it's
also the only production that has "BAILEY" embossed in it;
used a couple of times and put back in the box, it's far
less common than any other production; box is sound, with
no tape, the original packing paper is inside:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t124.jpg $490.00
ST84 #248 plow with all original parts; the seven stout cutters
are useful for common grooving, the plane was originally
offered for weatherstripping work, Stanley never imagined
it would be rediscovered later to be a practical solution
in a cabinet shop; comes with original propaganda paper;
top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t125.jpg $130.00
ST85 Uncommon #58 1 3/4" glazing chisel, unused in its original
box; probably the most difficult to find chisel of Stanley's
production, this specialized tool failed to capture the
tool buying public's wallet; some minor tarnish on the
chisel, box shows some scuffs and knocks, there's no tape
on it; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t126.jpg $135.00
ST86 #40 1/4" Everlasting chisel; with most original finish on
the handle, it saw barely any use, it was kept safe in a
Stanley tool chest for years; some minor tarnish; middle:

tarnish, little used; right:

his product line to Stanley, this one dates to the 1860's;
2" iron is ground hollow across its width, it has all ori-
ginial parts, there is little japanning left; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t127.jpg $65.00
ST89 Type 1 #239 1/8" special dado plane; unused, with all
original parts, it's like the standard later model but
without a fence; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t128.jpg $255.00
ST90 Unused #72 double arm marking/mortice gauge; each arm is
graduated and carries a common scribing pin, it maintains
two different settings, it's particularly useful for laying
out half-blind dovetails; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t129.jpg $45.00
ST91 Four Square household jack plane; the size of a #5 1/4, it
never was assigned a number, I get more questions about this
plane than any other; Stanley's first offering of tools to
the home handyman or occasional user, it's a fine quality
worker (especially by today's standards) that was offered
fist during the 1920's; all original parts, a bit dirty
from sitting idle, it came out of a Four Square tool chest
(which I have, if you're a Four Square lover); top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t134.jpg $55.00
ST92 Four Square pry bar; embossed with the Four Square logo,
this is a rather uncommon tool, it was found with the
previous in a Four Square tool chest; shows mushrooming
at the heel, it saw normal use; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t134.jpg $75.00
ST93 Four Square saw; found with the previous, it shows wear,
most of the black finish remains on the handle, the label
is almost worn off; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t135.jpg $65.00
ST94 Stanley 20" 9pt crosscut saw with carved wooden handle; out
of a tool chest (came with previous Everlasting chisels),
it has notched rectangle logo on the blade; in nicer than
usual condition, with some superficial rust, not a common
saw; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t138.jpg $90.00
ST95 #71 router with rosewood handles and japanned WWII finish;
complete, with instructions, three cutters, fence, and the
tattered remains of the original box, it saw little use
and is eager to get back to work; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t142.jpg $135.00
ST96 #148 match plane; does what the every popular #48 tongue
and groove planes but with out the swinging fence, it's
flipped end for end to cut one half of the common joint;
most plating remains, some minor storage tarnish, the very
tattered original box is tossed in for free; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t142.jpg $95.00
ST97 Extra clean ca.1900 #8 jointer; with 99% japanning, full
length iron, and all original parts, this one saw barely
any use; minor tarnish, it'll make a great worker, the
grip and finish are nicer than later production; difficult
to find the early bench planes in this condition, I'd leave
it as is and use it, though if you wanted to clean it it
would be in nearly new condition; a classic from the golden
era of Stanley production, it's shown above the featured
tool of the month; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t143.jpg $225.00
ST98 #1 smoothing plane; a great and barely used example from
ca.1930, the tote has its original label that offers no
mistaking that this is a Stanley product; sweetheart iron,
it's obvious that this is not the typical used or cobbled
together example normally offered, it's ready for a
discerning collector of Stanley, or any other, tools:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t15.jpg $125.00
WP7 T.Norris&Son jack plane; most people think of the fine
infill planes that Norris offered, not many know that

the firm's name and Lambeth location, this one saw limited
use; 17" long, dark patina, no alteration to the mouth,
some stable checking at the toe, with some scratches in
the sole there, the plane is still in sound worker shape;
far more infills planes by the firm survived, the wooden
ones didn't, this is a good example to use or add to the
collection; top:

than usual examples; bottom two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t23.jpg $85.00
WP12 Matching double iron sash and coping planes by A.Cummings
of Boston; as found, with dry surfaces, little used, never
modified, it's uncommon to find match planes as so many
pairs were sent in different directions when chests were
robbed of their tools; cuts a reverse ogee and fillet, if
you're into wooden planes, or plan to make your own sash
(which is quite fun as I've made many), these are for you:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t38.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t38a.jpg $290.00

tecture; owner mark; bottom:

MS70 Unusual skate sharpener with folding handles that pinch a
small file in place, it's a miracle this one managed to
survive with the original file; a design I've never seen
before, if it weren't for the info inked on each handle
it would puzzle most people; J.Young Skate Sharpener, as
well as some more that's illegible (maybe Trenton or in-
ventor) removes any confusion what it is, it's certain
that the design was doomed from the start as the two
handles are hinged to open/close it about the short file;
showing minimal use, 9" long, it probably deserves to be
in the Hockey Hall of Fame (or maybe Hall of Shame due to
its design); top left:
