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...

with all original parts; three line embossing on the lever
cap, no damage, japanning 75%, it saw little use as the
iron is full length; a worker that needs a clean, top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t105.jpg $115.00
ST77 Four original #34 catalogues; in much nicer than usual
shape, great references of Stanley tools offered/eliminated
as time marched on, they represent a good range of time;
years of 1922 (two of these), 1929, and 1939; one with
owner name inked on cover; bottom four:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t110.jpg $115.00
ST78 5/8" #720 bevel edge paring chisel; with original leather
tip handle, little used, not marked with model number, as
is common, a very clean worker of an uncommon width; middle:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t111.jpg $60.00
ST79 #60 doweling jig with #49 auger stop; in a wooden case,
very clean, eight collars, the #60 is much less common than
the #59, it has more collars; if doweling is in your future,
this is a fine worker of a tried and true design; all parts
are in the box; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t111.jpg $85.00
ST80 #7C corrugated jointer; a type 12 with all original parts;
made during the late 1920's, as found, can be used as is
after honing the cutter, 90% japanning (oiled some time
ago); half a pinhead size nick at corner of lever cap, the
tall knob shows the usual fine stress cracks at the base,
there are no missing pieces; full length iron, this one saw
very little use; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t112.jpg $185.00
ST81 #607 Bed Rock jointer; round side model with two line em-
bossed lever cap; as found, dirty, all original parts, no
damage, elbow grease is required to bring this back to
bench worthy condition, your efforts will be rewarded with
a solid worker; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t112.jpg $145.00
ST82 #55 combination plane; a solid worker from ca.1900, all
cutters are in their original boxes with the green labels;
original finger joint box with nearly full label (tough to
find), the sliding cover is a replacement; original screw
driver hiding in the box; all required parts are present
save for the beading stop, there is an extra cam rest (for
the Record 405) that you can trade for the beading stop,
which is very common (and also used on the #45); some extra
owner modified cutters:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t113.jpg $335.00
ST83 #8 jointer; first lateral example if far nicer than usual
shape, all original parts, little used, dusty from sitting,
a very small sliver off the side of the tote doesn't detract;
a solid worker or one for the collector; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t114.jpg $190.00
ST84 Three unused ca.1970 #40 Everlasting style chisels; the
same quality and construction as the earlier wooden handle
model, these have the hard plastic handles that still have
their decals; made in England, widths of 1/4", 1/2", and
3/4", all they need is a honing; guaranteed to be great
workers; bottom right three:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t114.jpg $65.00
ST85 #66 beader; with both fences and a group of original and
some added cutters, nearly all the plating remains; a fine
worker, it proved to be the most popular scratch beader
in the US and UK; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t115.jpg $115.00
ST86 #1 smoothing plane; an as found early production with all
original parts, it suffers a crack along the cheek; still
usable, it's ideal for parts pilfering or for those who
like the look and feel of the plane with character; iron
carries J-logo, cap iron has Bailey patent date, knob has
bead detail at its base; some pitting on right cheek, tote
was split and glued, small length of casting roughness at
heel to the right of the tote; swapped with another base,
this will be a respectable example; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t121.jpg $465.00
ST87 #140 combination rabbet and block plane; a mid-1920's ex-
ample that was carefully used, has all original parts,
and no damage; so much more charisma than the modern pro-
duction, it can be honed and used as is; nicer than what's
normally found; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t122.jpg $125.00
ST88 #94 cabinetmaker's rabbet plane; the largest of the four
plane series, they were very popular in England where the
larger/heavier a rabbet plane could be so much the better;
free of damage, all original parts, from the 1920's with
the sweetheart logo stamped in the nose disk, it's as
found with some plating wear, it's 100% usable as is; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t126.jpg $190.00
ST89 #19 knuckle joint block plane; a ca 1930 example with its
original orange highlighting on the knob and adjuster,
this treatment was done on several tools made during this
time, no one knows for certain why, it's speculated that
it was done during a hardware promotion that many tool
makers followed; sweetheart logo on iron and lever cap,
all original parts, as found, no damage, the heel of the
iron shows some mushrooming; a fine worker, identical to
the #18 but 1" longer; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t126.jpg $55.00
ST90 #57 core box plane; the fully equipped version, with more
turnbuckles than a WWF squared circle, some of the rods
are replacements (very easy to make, if this bothers you,
the first two pairs can be salvaged from #45/#55 rods), a
#71 throat closing show somehow found its way on the thing,
it's like a $25 rebate as you can sell it for that; free of
damage, normal plating wear, this one was used to plane
semicircles almost as wide as the Grand Canyon, when in a
bind it'll also serve as a chock for a CAT 797F dumptruck:

ST91 Williams Patent marking gauge; made during the early days
of Stanley production, this unique gauge has four 'points'
for marking the work (one worn down) and a sliding point
for mortice layout; rosewood fence has very strong embossing
with the patent date and the early Stanley eagle logo;
sliding point adjusts well by turning the knob, there's is
a dent in the brass shaft near the knob; a decent example
of a rather uncommon gauge that never sold well; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t128.jpg $110.00
ST92 #98 double arm marking and morticing gauge; a 1920's pro-
duction with sweetheart logo stamped in one screw; with
points at one end of the arms and rolling disks at the
opposite ends, it's a versatile gauge for marking all
sorts of materials; little used, nearly all plating remains;
a fine quality tool in ready to use condition; middle:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t128.jpg $50.00
ST93 Miter box assembly for making repeated length cuts; most
of these evaporated into the ether (or were scrapped), what
you need to complete yours is all here and in fine barely
used condition; this assembly was offered on the higher end
Stanley miter boxes, if yours has a hole and screw below the
bed, you need this; top:

WOOD PLANES
**** ******
WP1 J.E.Child adjustable sash plane; cuts a less common profile
of a reverse ogee, this Providence, RI maker was on the
cutting edge of architectural style changes, this plane
reflects that when the square ovolo profile fell out of
favor; large wooden thumb screws adjust the two halves
relative to each other so the plane can work a wider range
of stock; as found, never modified, skewed irons, owner
mark, a very nice plane; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t5.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t5a.jpg $125.00
WP2 1/4" double bead by J.H.Lamb/New Bedford (mark a bit weak
and partially overstruck by an owner's); full boxed sole,
cuts left and right to make it much more versatile than a
standard beading plane; as found, free of modification,
great quality, right wedge shows some roughness at its
bottom from digging shavings out, plane is still usable;
great size for cabinetwork; bottom:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t5b.jpg $110.00
WP3 John M.Taber double iron sash plane with a coping plane
by S.Presbrey; while by different makers, the planes will
work well together for those who want to make their own
window sash; the Taber cuts the common square ovolo, the
Presbrey cuts the mating members to the inverse of the
ovolo; both as found, dirty from sitting idle, each will
make solid workers; top two:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t42a.jpg $190.00
WP4 Addison Heald/Milford, NH wider round (1 3/8" cutter) with
his unique captive lever cap and cast lever cap screw; as
found, with old red finish, it's a perfect alternative to
the #40 scrub plane, with more bench cred for removing lots
of wood the old fashion way; a solid worker, and less costly
than the #40; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t49.jpg $55.00
WP5 5/8" match planes by Wilcox/Manchester; uncommon size, they
can work 1/2" to 3/4" thick stock for cutting tongue and
groove joints; usual dark UK patina, oiled, one wedge shows
some typical banging, with owner marks; bottom two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t51.jpg $75.00
WP6 1/2" match planes by Nurse&Co.; cleaner than usual examples,
little used, they cut the popular tongue and groove joint
in thinner stock; owner mark; top two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t60.jpg $85.00
WP7 Moving fillister by J.Kellogg/Amherst; a clean and solid
worker, these planes are personal favorites for cutting
rabbets in any grain direction; skewed iron, adjustable
fence and stop, and nicker iron all make easy work of it,
this one is free of modification and was carefully used;
fully boxed shoulder for longer wear, owner marks, it can
be honed and used as is; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t64.jpg $125.00
WP8 Five carriagemaker's rabbet planes with integral handles;
a variety of patterns, two UK makers, two exotic wood, each
in sound worker shape; one wedge needs some tweaking to
fit in the mortice:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t80.jpg $115.00
WP9 3/4" skewed rabbet; an owner made example of fine quality,
as found, all it needs is a honing; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t81.jpg $45.00
WP10 3/8" (depth of cut) quirk ogee; a late 18th or early 19th
century example in as found condition; flat chamfers, typical
early wedge finial profile, original finish, owner initials,
free of modification, it hasn't been used in over 150 years;
bottom:

WP11 7 1/2" beech smoothing plane with parallel 2" double iron;
ECE German manufacture, strike button on heel, it saw limited
use, some staining on side, minor wear on sole; a fine quality
worker that can be honed and used as it; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t82.jpg $60.00
WP12 T.Tileston/Harrison Ave./Boston fixed size panel raiser; an
odd plane that cuts cuts the bevel and two fields over the
1/2" delta between the two end points, this one was likely
made for a custom job as I can't recall seeing another; in
fine shape, no owner mark or modifications, it's ideal for
smaller doors or wall panels:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t92.jpg $175.00
WP13 3/4" (depth of cut) square, cove, and astragal by E.Gere;
an earlier example, while working around New London, CT
prior to his moving to PA, it's a fine example of a very
nice profile; free of modification, no owner marks, it's
a versatile profile that has the extra detail adjacent to
the stop; a rather uncommon maker:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t93.jpg $195.00
WP14 Odd square cove and bead of unique proportions/layout;
sized for 3/4" thick stock, made by G.Davis, with owner
marks, never cleaned, a very strange special purpose pro-
file:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t94.jpg $135.00
WP15 Double iron square and cove; strange that this 5/8" deep
by 1/2" wide profile would be made with two iron, perhaps
it was made this way so just the cove portion would cut
when needed with the square iron removed; manufactured,
no maker's name, owner mark, free of modification, it has
a US look to it; an uncommon profile:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t95.jpg
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t95a.jpg $125.00
WP16 Square, cove, and square sized for 1" square stock; very
clean, still with shaving in the throat, no maker mark,
but professionally made, with pleasing proportions; owner
mark:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t96.jpg $115.00
WP17 3/8" square ovolo by A.Howland&Co; very clean, great size
for cabinetwork, a splinter developed on the fence (at the
toe) but was halted by a brad before it could break free
of the plane; a solid worker:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t97.jpg $60.00
WP18 Quirk ovolo, fillet, cove, and astragal; manufactured, but
no maker's mark, it has a Chapin appearance, it's sized for
5/8" thick stock; barely used, clean shape, no modification,
a check in the boxing at the toe; a lot of twists and turns
over such a compact profile:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t98.jpg $125.00
WP19 Chunky cove and bead by Griffiths/Norwich; a lot of wood
for a profile that measures 3/4" deep by 7/8" wide, it saw
very little use, is free of alteration, shows bang marks
on the heel (from backing iron/wedge off); no owner mark,
never cleaned:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t99.jpg $110.00
WP20 3/4" (depth of cut) cove by J.Lovell/Cummington, MA; as
found, dusty, free of alteration, it has the Grecian pro-
portion based on an ellipse; owner mark, appears original
finish is present:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t100.jpg $75.00
WP21 Auburn Tool Co. 1" toted match planes; fine quality workers
for cutting tongue and groove joints in 3/4" to 1 1/4" thick
stock, all they need is a honing; top two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t109.jpg $90.00
WP22 Rosewood DeForest/Birmingham (Connecticut) screw arm plough
plane; with contrasting grain patterns that were deliberately
selected to give this plane more eye appeal, both the body
and fence show the grains; arms are not boxwood, they may
be rosewood, the washers are not boxwood, nuts are boxwood;
the plane was lightly cleaned, there's some minor staining to
the nuts; made by what many consider to be America's finest
maker of plough planes, DeForest offered solid ivory and
solid gold plough planes in his catalogue as he wasn't keen
on being upstaged by any other maker; a nice example in an
uncommon combination:

WP23 H.Wetherell/Chatham (Connecticut) cove and astragal along
with another H.Wetherwell (no Chatham mark, but came with
other and has same owner mark) small bollection; both beech
and with flat chamfers, late 1700's manufacture, cleaned,
the former cuts 3/4" deep by 7/8" wide while the latter is
1/2" square, the wedge finial was sheared long ago:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t124a.jpg $185.00
WP24 3/8" (depth of cut) quirk ogee by S.Rowell; a nice plane
that was cleaned and waxed, with owner mark, usual crack
in the boxing, it's a nice size for cabinetwork; original
price inking on heel:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t125.jpg $95.00
WP25 Pair of unique adjustable match planes made of maple (with
some striped figure); the adjustable fences are set with
wooden thumb screws, the plane can cut a range of tongue
and groove joints; good amount of effort put into them by
their maker, the fences have steel plating for durability
and longer wear, the tongue plane likewise has interrupted
steel plating; in fine shape, dry surface, creative design,
nice planes:

http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t129a.jpg $255.00
WP26 Slender toted round by I.Schauer; in solid worker shape,
it would make a great scrub plane or can be used as in-
tended to cut a 1 1/2" wide hollow; in fine shape, nicely
cleaned, only in need of a honing, 13 1/2" long; a PA
maker, this one is late 1700's, and appears to be made of
sycamore; a stable and inconsequential check radiates from
one corner of the mouth, it's going nowhere fast; right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t130.jpg $95.00
WP27 6" lignum hollow with a D.R.Barton double iron; a lovely
plane, the lignum has a rosewood look to it, the mass of
the plane immediately tells you it's not rosewood; perfect
for working handles, rungs, dowels, etc., the plane can
be honed and used as is; original wedge looks to be a
mahogany, iron is 1 1/2" wide, the image fails miserably
to capture the color and grain pattern of the stock, be
surprised when you remove it from the box; left:

MS1 Millers Falls No.1 circular shave; as found, free of modi-

curved edges; middle:

MS2 4" drawknife with turned handles; looks to be a Buck Bros.,
I can't read if there's a logo or not due to circular pattern
tarnish on the bevel side; as found, will make a great worker
for finer stuff, an old worm hole in the left handle opened,
that has no bearing on its use; these small drawknives are
not common; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t2.jpg $75.00
MS3 Millers Falls No.2 eggbeater drill; earlier model with rose-
wood handle and grip, the crank handle is the longer turning

screws to store bits/points; original side knob is stained
hardwood, which is common on these as they transitioned to
that during the later production; top:

MS4 Three socket chisels by Greenlee; earlier production, each
with original steel hoop handles, two are bevel edge (widths
of 1" and 1 1/4", one square edge at 2" (needs new edge

workers; bottom three:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t3.jpg $95.00
MS5 3 1/2" slick by T.H.Whitherby; with original turned handle,
this is the nicest Witherby slick I recall offering, it was
used a few times and then put in a time capsule; a few minor
tarnish spots and scuffs/dings on handle, some time capsules
are more rugged than others; best quality, and hungry for
some wood; bottom:

MS6 Union No.41 match plane; identical to the #48 tongue and
groove plane made in New Britain, CT by the crosstown rival
of Stanley; as found, dusty and dirty from sitting, it will
do what the Stanley does, but for less money; Stanley ulti-
mately bought Union and continued offering this plane after
they ground out the Union name; an financially attractive
option for the budget-conscience user; top right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t6.jpg $60.00
MS7 Clean 8" drawknife by C.J.Kimball&Co.; small nick in edge,
no pitting rust, it can be honed and used; the best draw-
knife maker in America, not many know this, so keep it a
secret otherwise people will find out and these will soon
be as expensive as #71 routers; proudly made in the Granite
State, New Hampshire, prior to 1900; bottom:

MS8 Millers Falls No.10C corrugated oversize smoothing plane;

well made; top left:

MS12 Potter's May 31, 1910 butt/marking gauge; clearly stamped
with the patent date, it's stamped Sargent's No.11 Adjustable
Butt Gauge, this one was made by the New Haven, Ct firm and
sold by them; a very uncommon tool, it's far more complex
than the Stanley #95 butt gauge which became the standard
design for that task; in nearly new condition, this one
got short mention in American Marking Gages book, only a
catalog drawing is shown of it; a rare one; top right:

MS15 8" Disston tenon saw; with a new blade that's sharp, this
pre-1900 production saw is ready to go to work; split nut

other designed to work curves, it's a manufactured thing

it fingers are used; bottom right:

MS18 Good worker set of Jennings pattern twist augers in their
original three section wooden box; showing limited signs of
use, made prior to Stanley's acquisition, they are the best

crements, they fit nearly all braces; top:

made by Peck, Stow & Wilcox, the firm made this model for
many other retailers, this one carries the logo of the

shape, with nearly all original finish, it's a sound ex-
ample for finer work; carvers, patternmakers, etc. favored
these; top right:

MS30 Birmingham Plane Mfg. Co. cast iron jack plane; a futuristic
design with nary a bit of wood on it, it's wood that caused
the plane to be a miserable failure due to its fragility; as
found, all original parts, japanning is 75% and accented with
smears of white paint, the serrations milled in the frog, to
aid adjusting the iron, show the normal breakage, they aren't
entirely stripped, it's this 'feature' that doomed the plane;
this wasn't found in a drywall bucket, but kinda looks like
it was; bottom:

best screw drivers made anywhere and anytime, all, save for
the shortest (a Phillips head) have the TUCK name stamped
in them; lengths from 3 1/2" to 16", these are ready to use,
the handles are amazingly comfortable, it's impossible to
find them this numerous and in this condition, I bought a
small hoard of new old stock ones that won't last long;
one of the first uses of Phillips head screws was on a
late 1930's Cadillac, which is befitting of these as they
are rightly the Cadillac of American screw drivers; bottom

pages of the other lines, The Bay State, and several others
named after famous indians (but none named The Elizabeth);
with extra 'pages', added as inserts after the catalog was

a thumb screw locks it in place; as found, never cleaned,
7 1/2" long, my guess is it's used to measure the thickness

it has two 'chucks'; a simple circular spring secure whatever
is put in the chuck, this one has a head and an attachment
for using it as a press drill; about 7" long, in clean

MS79 4 7/8" slick by E.Broad&Sons; with an apt name, perhaps the
maker is actually some other name that decided to have a
giggle with a surname that befits the width of this lethal
weapon; with no handle, I don't believe this one was ever
fit with one, the edge appears to have the original grinding
marks on it (small corner chip requires a new grind); 15 1/2"

small chip on bottom horn, it's still fairly sharp; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t72.jpg $95.00
MS103 Goodell-Pratt No.1 bench hacksaw; a framed saw that slides
up/down on two posts, it's designed for more accurate sawing
of metal and similar materials; a very well engineered tool,
it's free of damage and is in fine worker shape; removable
vise parted company with it long ago:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t73.jpg $135.00
MS104 Pair of older miniature anvils; smallest is embossed

MS107 H.Slater cast smoothing plane with rosewood stuffing; as
found, with superficial rust that will easily clean to be
a great worker, it's free of modification other than the
top of the heel's stuffing being chamfered a bit (owner
found it more comfortable) and a couple of no harm screw
holes in the bed (likely from a shim); 6 3/4" long with a
1 7/8" tapered iron, fine mouth, Slater made great stuff,
his products are plentiful, which proves their popularity
with the English woodworking trades; owner initials in
the wood, this is a solid plane and is a fine entry into
the world of stuffed planes; top:

still stiff; fine workers for those who like their tools
with great age; right two:

MS115 Odd horse hoof model fit with a shoe; a very well made and
properly scaled thing that rotates with a 9 1/2" long
frame that has a wood base, I suspect this was used as
a teaching aid for a veterinarian or farrier, it may be
a point of sale display for horseshoes; good age, nice
original paint and surfaces, I've never seen anything
like it; if you like horses, or playing horseshoes, you'll
dig this; left:

MS123 Earlier English adjustable wrench; 7" long, nice detail at
the collar between the jaws and handle, which is turned to
adjust the lower jaw; well made, good amount of mass, this
is not the ordinary nut wrench but likely was made for a
finer piece of machinery; jaws show separation when closed,
something inevitable from years of use; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t85.jpg $115.00
MS124 Hardy&Carter patented adjustable wrench; marker with their
name and Boston location, most nickel plating remains on

carved rosewood handle; made to celebrate the Allies

it can still be seen when the saw is angled correctly,
that aside, it's a quality worker, the teeth are still
fairly sharp, most of the finish is present on the handle;

MS128 Record 050 plough and beading plane in an owner made wooden
box; complete, with some extra cutters in a cigar tin, the

finish wear, as found, all the parts are in the box as they
were camera shy:

MS129 Seven Buck Bros. cranked gouges; very clean workers from
ca.WWII, all they need is a honing; each with original

and 3/16"; great quality:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t90.jpg $185.00
MS130 Fruitwood spoke shave with 2 3/8" wide cutter; manu-
factured by the same firm that made the scrapers, all
products have nicely shaped handles that curve downward

due to their great quality and feel in the hands; steel
plated sole, brass clamp to secure the cutter, the clamp
has inlaid steel as the sole for longer wear; 11" long,
never mucked with, a finely made tool; middle:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t91.jpg $75.00
MS131 Starrett larger divider fit with caliper legs; favored by
patternmakers due to the quality and versatility, the tool
could be bought with pairs of legs, the pointed ones are
not with it; the larger model No.85, with fine adjustment
nut, I believe the other legs/points can still be bought
new from Starrett; a solid worker, with some superficial
rust that will quickly clean; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t91.jpg $75.00
MS132 Billings&Spencer display rack for wrenches; a point of
sale item, where customers could pick the tool off it,
it looks to be from the 1930's, when the Hartford, CT
company was at its peak; metal facing on wooden back,
as found, will brighten with a wipe of light oil, the
top portion is much nicer than the bottom where a bit of
rust form; a very uncommon item for wrenches and pliers,
it's 32" long:

MS133 Big pile of earlier pattern bits, including center, split
nut driver, countersinks; with superficial rust along the
shanks, not much down at the cutting edges, these are the
kind of bits in common use prior to twist augers/drills:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t102.jpg $110.00
MS134 Complete Rusby's patent telescoping drill; a clever and
well made drill that was fairly popular when offered,
the chuck can be extended/retracted relative to the
crank to suit it to the job at hand, it proved very useful
for drilling between joists; all original parts, both
grips can be removed, it also has a plate for adding
pressure via a shoulder or the chest, this plate is
normally long gone; a solid worker in usual cosmetic
condition; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t103.jpg $110.00
MS135 Pair of owner made trammel points; made of brass/bronze,
never cleaned, as found, one has provision for a pencil;
the fixing screws are different, suggesting that the maker
scrounged those elsewhere; one steel point a bit shorter
than the other, still 100% workers as is; bottom left

MS136 Pair of steel stamps for/by local manufacturers; one for
The Noble&Westbrook Mfg. Co. of East Hartford, CT, it's of
a curved arrow, this company made stamps; the other with
the Greenfied Tap and Die logo, this firm was located in
Greenfield, MA; found together, the curved arrow may have
been something GT&D stamped, but I can't recall seeing it
before; in fine shape, they weren't used much as the heads
aren't all mushroomed; owner/name stamps are common, but
those of manufacturers aren't; bottom right two:

MS137 Pair of as found, but entirely usable, wooden bow/frame
saws; the rectangular kind made by ECE, etc., these two
are manufactured in Denmark, and are guaranteed to fulfill
your Tage Frid and/or Danish Modern fetish; little used,
both with original blades that have some superficial rust,
one more so than the other; one is missing the twine and
toggle, the other shows you what to do, you can get real
primitive and use a stick off a tree; 16" and 24" blades,
well made, and from last century; top two:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t104.jpg $110.00
MS138 Uncommon Atkin&Sons hammer struck saw set; resembling the
earlier American Aiken patent, this one is a bit larger
and has a pivoting rest that changes the angle the blade
rests upon the anvil; as found, clearly stamped with maker
name, and usable as is; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t105.jpg $155.00
MS139 Ketchum's patent saw set; a very rare example, first I've
seen, it's hammer struck; patented November 6, 1883, it's
a complex design of considerable size which likely doomed
it with the Saw Setters Union of America; 9 1/2" long,
it differs a bit from the patent drawing where the blade
rests as the production allows it to pivot, a small screw
allows more precise control; the rest has three holes in
it, one thumb screw is present, I assume this is swapped
among the holes, it's purpose I haven't a clue; a gizmo
whose time never came; bottom right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t105.jpg $385.00
MS140 Ultimatum brass and ebony marking/morticing gauge by
Mathieson/Glasgow; as found, showing normal knocks/dings,
plenty of life left on the points, it can be used as is;
brass plated oval fence of ebony is set with a screw
driver, the adjustable point is likewise set with a screw
driver; owner mark, never polished, loads of mass, this
style gauge was favored by the finest woodworkers; top:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t106.jpg $80.00
MS141 Little Victor No.51 1/2 nickel plated block plane with the
original red finish interior; a handy general purpose plane
for odd trimming jobs, it pre-dates the Stanley #101 and
was made by Leonard Bailey after he stormed out of Stanley's
stable of toolmakers; all original parts, 75% of the plating,
nearly all the red finish, this is the least common version
of this plane, it's difficult to find with so much of the
original finish; bottom left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t106.jpg $585.00
MS142 Odd 3 1/2" pocket level; similar to the straightedge
levels, but never fit with a mounting screw, it likely
was held onto the straightedge with the fingers, there
are two 'lugs' cast into the right side of the main
casting; in fine shape, original vial, free of damage
and modification, owner stamped name in brass vial cover;
this is a manufactured tool; bottom right:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t106.jpg $65.00
MS143 Record 010 jack rabbet; as found, in normal cosmetic con-
dition for a used plane, over half the original length to
the iron, paint splatters, no damage, it does exactly what
the Stanley #10 does, but for less dosh; top:

MS144 New Britain Machine Co. point of sale display of ignition
files on their original stand-up card; back folds out to
keep them upright on the counter, never used, with NAPA
name printed on it, looks to be 1930's or 1940's; all
files unused, top right corner is missing a bit; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t107.jpg $135.00
MS145 Pair of useful banging tools; an unused joiner's mallet
and an unused 6oz cross peen hammer by Stanley; both

MS146 Stephens&Co. Riverton, CT two-foot, two-fold fully brass
bound No.27 rule with gunter slide; an uncommon model by
this CT firm that eventually was acquired by H.Chapin to
become Chapin-Stephens, the last name of the Chapin firm
that ultimately succumbed to Stanley and other makers
that owned the tool market as it evolved from wooden planes
and rules to metal planes and tape measures; in fine shape,
cleaner than usual examples, lightly cleaned, a nice example;

tarnish spots; a fine quality worker; bottom:

MS149 Star Nail Cup; the nicest I've seen, nearly 100% japanning,
it may be new old stock that's dusty/dirty from sitting
idle; a rotating cast iron caddy with several compartments
for storing nails/brads, cobblers and farriers loved these
things as well as any trade that liked their fasteners
sorted and easily accessible; a fine worker; rather easily
found in roadkill condition, rarely in this condition, I'm
calling it unused; top:

MS150 Clean H.Hawke Solley Works plated brace; with a beech
frame and a nice two-tone lignum head, this Sheffield
made example saw barely any use, it's the pattern that
was used by countless tradesmen in the US and England
prior to the easy access to iron frame braces; never
cleaned or polished, a hairline check (can't insert my
pinky's fingernail in it), some tarnish on the brass
chuck and a bit of staining near there (something spilled
on it), the chuck's spring is fine; friction fit chuck,
it was designed to used bits/augers like those found at
MS133; a solid worker in much nicer than usual bored to
hell and back examples; top left:

MS151 Millers Falls No.67 router; maybe used once and then put
back in the original box, it has all the features of the
Stanley #71 of which this is a direct copy; all original
parts save for the 1/4" cutter (a Stanley matches well),
with the 1/2" and V cutters, adjustable fence, and throat
closing shoe; a quality worker and much less common than
the Stanley; bottom left:

MS152 Tiny 0"-0.5" (actually 0.33") open thread sheet metal
micrometer by Brown&Sharpe; the #1 plane size of micro-
meters, it's a tiny thing and is on the wanted list of
all machinist's tools collectors; made like the first
successful micrometer made by The Victor Sewing Machine
Co. of Middletown, CT, the design was sold to Brown &
Sharpe early on, that firm made the design the worldwide
standard; in fine shape, with its original case, never
abused, diagonal knurling on the spindle, it's a very
nice example; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t115.jpg $490.00
MS153 Graduated set of six narrower bevel edge chisels; made by
Marples, each with their original leather tip handles,
these are the UK version of the popular Stanley #750;
never abused, some handles with decal, widths of 1/8",
3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 5/8", and 3/4"; a solid working
group; top left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t116.jpg $190.00
MS154 Pair of useful tools, a Preston bit handle and a small
screw driver of the kind supplied with Stanley combination

the handle to show how it's used; top right two:

MS155 New old stock 6" cabinetmaker's screw driver; with the
mushroom cap shape handle, it's gripped entirely in the
palm, the blade sticks out between the fingers, it's a
fine worker for many jobs where longer screw drivers are
awkward; it's also fine for cap iron screws on bench
planes, and this alone makes it worth owning; made by
Greenlee, ready to use; bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t116.jpg $40.00
MS156 Morris Patent smoothing plane; a simple thing that has a
cast iron body fit with a large turned knob and a closed
tote, a wooden wedge secures the double iron; the firm
had to make this one different from many other similar
cast planes, the top has floral pattern embossing, it's
the sole that is unique to the plane with a waffle pattern
that acts as 'corrugations'; in sound shape, no damage,
there is no japanning left on the plane, the knob, tote,
and wedge appear to be original, they have been refinished;
iron is short, they are easy to find as they are Sandusky
stamped, which is the firm that sold this plane; a less
common design that was never going to compete with the
better planes that have adjustment features; top:

MS157 Sargent&Co. No.317 block plane with the squirrel tail
handle; like the #9 3/4, this one is much less common;
in nice as found condition and all original parts, it's
an earlier example that has the lever cap's fulcrum screw
below the lever cap; a small depression in the bottom of
adjustable sole section, that arose from pressure on the
brass knob that adjusts it; not an easy model to find;
bottom:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t117.jpg $255.00
MS158 Mathieson beech brace with uncommon chuck; instead of the
standard button to secure the bit, it uses a spring loaded
lever that's in line with the frame; in overall fine shape,
lightly cleaned, no damage, the chuck is stamped with the
firm's name and Warranted Steel Socket; ebony head has a
few very tight and stable checks, nothing out of the
ordinary; left:

MS159 Three steel ACME levels with different finishes; identical
designs, 6" long, with original vials (one has ACME name
under the vial, they are in much nicer than usual shape
and make an instant collection of the products made by
Toledo manufacturer who made a wide range of unique levels;
simple things in nearly new condition; made of pressed
steel; right three:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t118.jpg $95.00
MS160 Good plated brace with 8 spoon bits and an extra bit all in
their original pads; a fine quality brace that can be used
for chairmaking and other cabinetwork where spoon bits are
favored, this one has a large breast drill-like head that
is padded and covered with leather for more comfortable use
against the breast or shoulder; good age, wooden pads may
be later than the brace, if so they are proper copies, two
are missing ferrules; a solid worker for those who want the
tools that actually did the work on the old furniture and
rarely found this nice and with this quantity of spoon bits:

MS161 A very unusual and unused filleting tool (at least that's
what I believe it to be) used to cut leather fillets for
patterns; completely over-engineered and far too complex
for most to use easily, its base is secured to the bench,
a hinged casting carries the V-shape cutter, an adjust-
ing screw to control the depth of cut, and two brass
guides to control the width; with original japanning,
there is blue finish on the nuts and the cutter; very
well made, the cutter is lifted, a strip of leather
sandwiched between it and the flattened 'anvil' area on
the bottom casting, the strip is pulled and a small bit
of leather is curled upward; has a ca.1900 appearance,
I've never seen anything remotely like it; about 5 3/4"
long; top left:

MS162 J.D.Uhl April 21, 1874 patent 'bit stock'; an attachment
for a common brace so that it can do angled boring, this
is one I've never seen before; stamped with the patent
date and the manufacturer of J.Shindler&Co. of Renovo,
PA, it's a bulky thing for being relatively small; differs
a bit from the patent drawing, a sliding lever locks a
bit in the chuck, it's surprising that this mechanism
wasn't patented; as found, with normal surfaces that show
pitting here and there, the bolt and nut that secure the
two main pieces at the proper angle is a late replacement;
never seen another; 7 1/2" long when fully extended; top

MS163 New old stock Whitehouse cross peen hammer; 4" long head,
with original labels (some peeling) and brightly painted
handle; best English quality and ready to bang cockles
and mussels; bottom:

MS164 Birmingham Plane Mfg. Co. 3" thumb plane; the Derby, CT
maker's version of the Stanley #101, it's one of their
scarcest block planes; all original, nearly all japanning;

MS165 Chamberlain's January 1, 1867 patent combination square
and level; with a main casting that carries level and
plumb vials, as well as a protractor, a rotating steel
'blade' swings around the entire level casting so it can
be used as a bevel or square; stamped with the patent
date, it was made by S.Batchelder&Co. of Pittsburgh, PA;
all original, no damage, cleaned, it's a rather uncommon
gizmo that had to compete with a more notable level
patented the same year, that of L.L.Davis; 8" long;

MS166 Odd marking gauge that is stamped patent allowed on one
face and Shears on the other; looking more like a padlock,
the U-shape arm has a point at the 'vertex' of the U,
there's a rolling disk on the 'fence' opposite the point,
the disk is for marking/cutting, it can be screwed up/down
relative to the block; a standard thumb screw locks the
arm at the desired location; never seen another, it's well
made an in fine shape, with a good amount of nickel plating;
a W.Shears had a patent for a floor plane, perhaps he was
messing around with marking gauges; bottom:

MS167 Nice patternmaker's interchangeable sole hollowing/core
plane; a well made plane with all sever original soles
and cutters, they are neatly arranged in wooden partitions
within a tin box (this looks to be 1930's era); soles are
made of mahogany and stamped with radius, they are 5 3/4"
long; owner mark, it's a classic UK style plane of a nicer
than usual quality; as is somewhat common on owner made
planes, the fulcrum rod was relocated, probably after he
decided to use thinner irons; left:

MS168 Metallic Plane Co. adjustable block plane with original
iron loop handle; a unique take on the squirrel tail
handle, this NY firm decided to cast the 'tail' as part
of the lever cap, this didn't prove wise as most snapped
off, this one escaped that fate; as found, with all original
parts, it does suffer the common chip at the mouth and some
minor pitting on the cheeks, an adjusting lever engages a
rack to make setting the cutter easy, the cast mushroom
shape knob allows setting the mouth's width; probably
the least common block plane by a company that took Stanley
head-on, but ended up losing the plane battle after a good
run; right:

MS169 Curved froe with older handle; used to split billets with
a radius on each face, coopers loved them for making the
staves of firkins, tubs, etc., it's perfect for anything
where curved work is needed; in usual froe condition, it
can be used as is after giving the edge a sharpening; far
less common than standard straight froes; left:
http://www.supertool.com/forsale/nov/t132.jpg $90.00
MS170 Smaller froe for finer work; this one is perfect for use
after billets are roughed out by a larger froe when smaller
work, like rungs/spindles, are needed; 5 1/2" blade, old
handle, in much nicer than usual condition noting the
usual mushrooming along the spine; in the lately scarce
world of froes, these shorter ones (often used by basket-
makers) are even more difficult to find; middle:

MS171 Three Numberall letter and number stamps; the ultimate
for stamping 1/4" letters and numbers, all are divided
among the three punches, each with a rotating disk that
is turned to select what figure you wish to stamp; best
quality, in little used condition, a detent and spring
action pin keep the selected figure in position; minor
mushrooming on the ends, these a substantial tools;
right three:

MS172 Pair of Connecticut made tools that are totally unrelated
to each other; a countersink that is by "xxxxBORN&BISHOP"
of New Haven (I can't read the first letters) and an odd
spanner by Russell&Erwin, it's also stamped as their
"PATENT SCREWLESS KNOB" (which can land you in gaol if
uttered publicly in England); both in fine condition,
showing little signs of use; left two:

barely used condition; middle:

MS174 Odd patented countersink that can be adjusted for different
diameters by turning two countersunk (of course!) screws;
one I can't recall seeing before, its maker is S.T.D.Co.
that patent date is March 1, '8x (can't read the last
digit; very well made, and a clever design, it's nothing
but two pieces riveted where it fits in the chuck and
screwed where it does the cutting; definitely a strange
tool for a brace; right:

MS175 12" cast iron level by Fitchburg Level; made local to me,
and one that has more mass than it probably should, it's
an interesting design where the two plumb and single level
vials are packed withing the center, which is accessible
with a plate screwed onto the casting; as found, one vial
dry, a corner chip, offered for the beginning collector
or as a dog chew toy; bottom:

MS176 Well made iron frame brace; with a friction fit chuck and
a long neck on the head, the sleekness of the frame is
accented with subtle turning details at the chuck and neck;
no doubt manufactured, 8" sweep, a nice thing that can be
used as is; left:

MS177 Good worker froe with a later proper mallet for whacking
it (the froe, that is); far nicer than usual examples
that are the froe version of an exploded cigar, 11" blade,
old handle, you can file the edge and use it as is; froes
used to be unloved and common as mud, but lately they are
not easy to find, maybe someone is hoarding them; right:

MS178 Five joiner's mortice (pigsticker) chisels; various makes,
each in fine worker shape, one with boxwood handle, and
narrower widths of 3/16" (two of these), 1/4", 5/16", and
3/8" (this with the boxwood handle, a later replacement):

MS179 Great smaller framed saw for resawing wood; the classic
18th and early 19th centuries design, a wide 18" long
blade is stretched within a yellow birch frame that's
chamfered along its length with turned grips at the ends
across its width, this is a very rare size for such a
tool, which is normally three times the dimensions of
this one; found in southeastern NH, in solid shape, some
long inactive worm holes, this relic can be sharpened and
put to use, it's perfect for cutting smaller pieces as
stock or veneer; it always amazes me that tools of this
age and quality managed to survive over centuries; top:

MS180 Strange smaller anvil with side 'appendage' for special
swaging work; good age, only 11" long, roughly 20lbs,
it looks to be manufactured but there's no markings that
I can spot on it; found in the US, it has the look and
feel of being made here during the mid-1800's; expected
knocks and dings, still usable, the swaging are is con-
cave; bottom:

MS181 Smaller Lervad (made in Denmark) workbench; while this
thing may look like a toy, it's not as it's made for
real work; 32" long with a 10 1/2" wide top that's
morticed for dogs (three are present), the screw vise
has inlaid hornbeam for more rugged wear; sturdy and
perfect for smaller work, such as boxes, drawers, carving,
etc. or for places that haven't the space for a full size
bench, this one saw very little use and is ready to go;
stain on surface from a paint can or similar, it can be
screwed to the floor; vise jaws stay parallel as adjusted,
this one must be picked up at the tool dump:

MS182 Earlier Bridgeport milling machine, the round ram model,
which I believe is the first production of the most popular
machine of its class ever produced; out of a closed shop
that made electrical components for computers during their
early days, the owner was a Phd graduate of Harvard and
knew An Wang, Ken Olson, et al; the owner was batshit
crazy and his place of business eventually became the envy
of hoarders everywhere; this machine hasn't been used in
some time, but the family's budding mechanical engineer
(aka the boy) tells me it's tight and didn't see heavy
use; located near Concord prison, right off the Rt.2
rotary, it must be picked up there and done so by the end
of the month:

MS183 Brown&Sharpe surface grinder; from the same shop, this is
smaller manually fed machine that sat more than it ever
was used, it looks to be 1950's production; same location,
etc. as previous:

MS184 Sheldon 11" lathe from 1940s-1950s; complete with lever
type 5c collet closer, spindle adapter and nose thread
protector; with a micrometer type carriage stop, threading
dial, larger crossfeed and compound dials, and quick change
gearbox to control threading and power feeding; under drive
motor on a double pedestal base with chip tray, the pedestal
on the tailstock end has a handy set of shelves to keep
accessories sorted; original blue paint and appears to be
in excellent condition; a machine well suited to guns-
mithing work as the long bed and large spindle bore allow
a wide range of operations; same location, etc. as the
previous two machines:
