Last list of the summer. I have a good run of some quality and hard to
find molding planes as well as the strange, wonderful, and collectible
tools.
I'd really prefer a check for payment for all items. On items less than
$25 (not including shipping) no PayPal. On combined purchases totaling
over $25 then PayPal is okay. This is for the USA buyers only. The out
of country folks, PayPal will be accepted for all purchase, unless you
want to send me a US denominated money order, then that is fine. Sorry
for the inconvenience but I'm just trying to cut the costs down a bit here.
And remember........da more ya buy, the cheaper they fly!
First contact (that is e-mail, or phone) that says I want it get's it.
Oldtools terms, except on items and orders over $100, if I don't know
ya or haven't done business in the past (and my records good way back..)
then it's pre-pay. I do take PayPal (except as noted). Prices do not
include shipping. All items are shipped with Delivery Confirmation.
Insurance, unless it is a big order or a very fragile item is optional.
Just let me know. Also, I am shipping a lot more stuff via First
Class mail. There will be a small amount added to the shipping cover
the cost of the padded mailer. I don't get them for free.
Please put your name and address in the message. Saves time and email
traffic!

Wooden Planes
N Spaulding McLean NY 1 1/4 Inch Complex Molding Plane. The cut is 1
1/4" wide (measured from the inside edge of the fence to the start of
the depth stop) and this weighs 1 lb 9 1/4 oz unboxed. Nathaniel
Spaulding was a plane maker who worked in McLean NY from 1825 until
1850. This is the B mark rated on "*" for rarity. This is in
reasonable condition for the age and was cleaned. The body has some
light scratches and wear. There is some chipping on the toe on top of
the depth stop and a little at the start of the depth stop. There are
some hammer dings on the top of the body and a few light ones on the
heel. There is exactly one long deceased worm hole as well. The sole
is good and the mouth is tight. The boxing has some roughness showing
on the outside but that's left over from when this was made. The
Butcher iron does have a spot of pitting down at the edge and a few
spots farther up but there is some clean steel to work with. I touched
up the edge a little but that might need a bit more work. These big
complex molders sure are getting few and far between. $35.00

Butler Philada Wood Complex Molding Plane. The cut is 1" wide (measured
from the inside edge of the fence to the start of the depth stop), and
this weighs 1 lb 1 3/4 oz unboxed. John Butler was a plane maker who
worked in Philadelphia PA from 1791 until 1830. This is the C mark
rated on "*" for rarity. This is also marked 6 on the heel, which means
this plane was for 6/8 or 3/4" stock. This is in reasonably good
condition for the age and was cleaned. The body has some dings and
wear. There are some thin checks on the toe and the heel has the usual
hammer dings and some light chips on the edges. The sole is good for
the most part but there is a chip out at the front of the mouth and some
dings on the edges. The mouth hasn't been opened but there is some wear
at the front. The iron is signed but I don't recognise the maker. The
cutting face has some light frosting and some dots and spots but there
is plenty of good steel left. I did clean off some sharp mushrooming
from the tang. The wedge is good. For a tool that is, at the very
least 185 years old and probably a lot older than that, well this one
sure ain't bad at all. $35.00

Israel O Beattie Middletown NY 1/2 Inch Match Tongue Molding Plane.
This weighs 15 3/4 oz unboxed. Israel O Beattie was a Middletown NY
hardware dealer in business from 1854 until 1872. This is the A mark
rated 2 "**" as to rarity. This in good condition and was lightly
cleaned. Note this is straight, any bending you see is because of
camera lens distortion, although why folks would think that I would sell
a bent plane is beyond me. The body is good other than a few light
dings and stains. The sole is good with no problems and the mouth is
tight. This may have been made for a special purpose as there is no
fence and outer edge of the depth stop area is slightly beveled. This
was possibly used for airtight case construction. The iron is clean on
the cutting face and there is lots to work with. That will need a
sharpening. The wedge is good as well other than a couple of scratches.
I have to say that this is a neat molding plane. $24.00

Reed Utica 3/16 Inch Fully Boxed Side Bead Molding Plane. This weighs

This in good condition and was lightly cleaned. Note this is straight,
any bending you see is because of camera lens distortion, although why
folks would think that I would sell a bent plane is beyond me. The body
is good other than few stains and light dings. There are a couple of
light hammer marks on the heel but this guy certainly wasn't used much.
The full boxing on the sole is good and the mouth is tight. The W
Butcher iron is clean on the cutting face and there is lots to work
with. That will need a sharpening. The wedge has a little dinging on
the top. These 3/16" side beads are very hard to come by and one in
this condition and by a collectible maker like Reed is a real find. $22.00

the marks and wedges are identical. This in good condition and was
lightly cleaned. Note this is straight, any bending you see is because
of camera lens distortion, although why folks would think that I would
sell a bent plane is beyond me. The body is good other than a few
stains. There is a very thin check behind the mouth and one on the
heel. There are a couple of light hammer marks on the heel but this guy
certainly wasn't used much. The sole and the mouth are good. The
cutting face of the iron has some light frosting and some pinpoints of
light pitting but nothing that would stop me from using this guy. The
iron will need a sharpening. The edge is good other than a few light
dings. All in all this is a good looking plane. $22.00

Old Coachmakers Double Cut Rounding Over Plane or Shave. The body is 12
5/8" long, the blade is 7/8" wide, and this weighs 11 3/4 oz unboxed.
Not signed as to the maker. This is in decent condition and was
cleaned. The body and wedge are oak. The body has some dings and
stains. There are a pair of brass screws in the back along side of the
blade mortise but I think that they were put there when this was made
and not a repair. The plate is good. The screw heads there are worn
and I didn't have that off. The blade may be a replacement but it fits
the plane and has the right profile. That would need a sharpening. The
wedge has some chipping at the bottom edge but it does it's job. This
is what it is, but I sure haven't been seeing too many around. $25.00

Thos L Appleton Boston Mass 3/4 Inch Center Bead Molding Plane. This
weighs 1 lb 2 1/4 oz unboxed. Thomas L Appleton was a Boston Mass plane
maker who made planes under his own name from 1878 until 1895. This is
in good shape and was cleaned. Note this is straight, any bending you
see is because of camera lens distortion. The body is good other than a
few dings. The boxing on the sole has a few light dings. The sole is
good otherwise. The mouth has some chipping on the leading edge and
it's not super tight but if you have ever used one of these guys, you
will know that's not necessarily a bad thing. There are fence holes in
the body, a lot of times these were added by the maker so that a screw
arm plow plane fence could be used with this plane. I've seen it before
with other makers. The wedge has a little dinging on the top but it's
solid. The iron has a few light spots of patina but it's good for the
most part and there is plenty there to work with. I have to say that
these big center bead planes are few and far between, especially by
collectible maker like Appleton. $27.00

Stanley SW No 921 Enclosed Ratchet 10 Inch Sweep Brace. This weighs 2
lbs 15 1/2 oz unboxed. This is in decent condition. The only cleaning
was to wax the grip and pad and oil the appropriate parts. There is
some plating loss on the chuck shell, the rear arm, and pad shell. The
chuck is good. The jaws have a little chipping at the tips but there
are good inside. The enclosed ratchet works well with just a hair of

26, 1874 for the design of this tool. This was made by Stanley between
1874 and 1887. This is in reasonably good condition for the age and was
cleaned. Both sides of the blade have some light frosting and the one
has a few tiny spots of pitting but it sure ain't bad. The handle is

is worn but the patent date can be read. This is in decent condition

rulings are readable. The handle is good for the most part and has most
of the original japanning. I had to shoot some penetrating oil into the

Some of these were marked Ford and I think that this one is but it's
very faint so don't run to the bank on just that. This is in decent
condition and was cleaned. There is some overall light patina. The
chuck and ratchet are good and were oiled. The alligator jaws are good
as well. The grip and pad are aluminium. The grip has S 2 stamped on
it. That has the usual light dings and wear that are found on aluminum
tools. The same goes for the pad. I did replace 2 of the screws that
hold the pad to the plate because they were missing but when you get as
old as this guy is, well you will be missing a few screws as well. This

There is some patina but that's to be expected with a tool that is at
the very least 95 years old and probably a whole lot older. There are a
few spots where the plating is worn down to the copper wash coat. The
blade has some spots of light pitting on both sides. The adjuster screw
works. The handle is curly maple and has some nice figure to it. There

that could be cleaned off easily enough. The plastic case has some

A H Reid 1882 No 2 Lightening Brace or Screwdriver. Measuring 12 3/16"

weighs 11 oz unboxed. Alban H. Reid of Philadelphia, PA was granted
Pat. No. 268,938 on Dec. 12, 1882 for the design of this tool. What is
unique, is that this has an early Yankee style chuck and blade. You
turn the collar 1/4 round to release the blade. I've never seen another
one of these like this and IF it was a user refit, they did a good job
of it. Overall this is in decent condition and was cleaned. The blade
has some patina. The chuck is good and the lower ring rotates. The
shaft has some dings and wear to the plating but they weren't overly
generous in that department to start with on these guys. The handle has

That has some light patina and some dings on the top. The blade does
have a small crack in the center. The front pin was replaced with a
nail at some point, the back pin is original. They both remove but
require some encouragement. The blade tensioner plate has some pitting
but it moves and the screw works. The handle is black walnut. That is
pinned to the frame but it does wiggle a little and someone (not me!)

the ferrule. The copper is a little worn on the ferrule as well. This
ain't minty but it sure ain't bad either. $20.00

C E Jennings 1/4 Inch Bevel Edge Firmer or Paring Chisel. Measuring 8
5/16" from the edge to the end of the socket, the blade is 6 1/16" long,
this is 12 13/16" overall, and this weighs 5 oz unboxed. C E Jennings
was a New York based edge tool and auger maker in business from 1878
until 1923. This is in reasonably good shape and was cleaned. The back
has a few spots of very light pitting right at the edge but after than
it's good other than some staining. The rest of the blade has some
stained spots but nothing too bad. I did rough in a new edge as someone
had rounded this over for use with a lathe. That will need some work.
The socket is good and was never hit. The handle is good, but I can't
say if it's the original one or not. I did not have it off of the tool.
This ain't pristine but it sure ain't bad either. $22.00

Buck Bros 3/4 Inch Flat Sweep Patternmakers Gouge. The blade is 6 5/16"
long, 3/4" wide across the outside, the sweep looks to be a No. 4, this
is 12 13/16" overall (straight across), and this weighs 4 1/2 oz
unboxed. This is in good condition and was lightly cleaned. The back
is good other than some very light stained spots. Inside the sweep,
there is more of the same. The London Pattern handle has the original
finish. There are a few tiny dings and stains but nothing worth kicking
the cat over. These guys are sure getting few and far between, at least
around here, and especially in this kind of shape. $27.00

James Swan User Crafted 1/8 Inch Tanged Paring Chisel. Measuring 3 7/8"
from the edge to the top of the handle, the blade is 3 1/4" long, 1/8"
wide at the edge tapering up to 3/16", this is 9 3/8" overall, and this
weighs 1 3/4 oz unboxed. Somebody took a 3/16" tanged firmer and ground
down the end to make this into a narrow paring chisel. It's not a
perfect job but I have seen worse. This is in decent condition and was
cleaned. The back is good other than some light pitting right at the
edge but that's easy enough to deal with on a blade of this width. The
rest of the blade has some light frosting. The handle is oak. That is
good other than a recent chip off the end and a small hole of unknown
origin on the one side. The end doesn't show any strike marks so this
guy was made for pushing rather than pounding (keep that in mind when
reaching for the 3 lb sledge hammer!) This is what it is, but a chisel
like this does have it's uses. $14.00

thick at the center. and this weighs 2 1/2 oz unboxed. This is in
reasonably good shape and was cleaned. The blade, which isn't signed,
has some staining and a few light spots of patina but nothing too bad.
NOTE" This is NOT HSS, and contrary to popular opinion, the turning
world got along quite fine with just regular steel for several hundred
or so years. Look it up. The handle is signed and looks to be maple.
That has a number stamped on the one side, a few stains and dings, but
it's solid and the blade is in tight. This ain't minty but it is a
quality tool. $15.00

pitting. The inside of the blade has some light patina as well. The

holes are good. The blade is clean and was sharpened recently. All the
screws work and were oiled. One of the screws on the underside that
holds the blade doesn't come all the way out but it does tighten okay.
The tang has some dings on the edges. This even has the depth stop, not
that real men need a depth stop but it's there just the same. This

odd spot of that and this but nothing too bad. Someone filed an X on
the one side of the joint and a couple of lines on the back for
identification purposes. The tips are good. The locking screw and fine
adjustment nut both work and were oiled. This ain't minty but it sure

this is straight, any bending you see is because of camera lens

maker. The other arm is partially marked Cast Steel. This is in decent
condition and was cleaned. There is some overall patina and wear. The
jaws have some scuff marks on the top and the one is a hair higher than
the other one. The cross hatching on the faces is work. The arms have
some marks from being clamped in a larger vise but that's how you use
one of these. The spring and screw are good. This ain't minty but it

There really ain't a lot to fuss about patina wise. The jaws have a
little wear to the edges and certainly aren't shaving sharp but all
things being equal in a hand grenade catching contest, well they sure
ain't bad. The joint has a little wiggle but nothing out of the
ordinary. The ball end handles are good. This is the nicest looking
early one of these that I have had in a long time. $17.00
