262199 Anthony Seo <tonyseo@p...> 2017‑04‑24 FS: Abounding April 2017 List B
Second list for the month of April.  Got some new and good tools in 
here.  The weather has been less than cooperative on flea market days 
still but one keeps hoping.

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 gets 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!

Unusual Long Handled Wood Skew Rabbet Plane.  Measuring 15 1/4" overall, 
the sole is 11 5/16" long, 1 15/16" wide, and this weighs 2 lbs 4 1/4 oz 
unboxed.  The plane isn't signed as to the maker, the iron is marked 
WILD.  This guy came out of an auction at a farm that had been owned by 
the same family since the 1750's.  The style of the body and wedge are 
19th Century.  This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned. 
The body is beech and is good other than some light dings and stains. 
The sole has some light roughness from grain tearout, left over from 
when this was made.  The mouth is tight and was never futzed with.  The 
handle is oak and is good other than some stains.  The iron does have 
some pitting on the cutting face and is a hair narrower than the sole 
but it was made for this plane.  The wedge is good.  This is one of 
those tools that you just do not see very often.  $45.00

L & I J White Buffalo NY 10 Inch Mast Shave Draw Knife. Measuring 19 
1/8" overall, the blade is 10" long, 1 3/8" wide across the edge, and 
this weighs 1 lb 12 1/4 oz unboxed.  This is in reasonable condition for 
the age and use and was cleaned. The back of the blade has some stains 
and light scuffs but nothing too bad. The edge has a few dings but this 
puppy is close to sharp. The top is good with no dings. The front is has 
some frosting and the mark is faint but readable. The handles are 
original. They have some staining and and the right one has a chip off 
the lower turning.  They both are on tight.  This ain't minty but it is 
a quality tool.  $35.00

Stearns Chair Makers Spoke Pointer For A Brace.  The bell is 2 7/8" in 
diameter (inside the lip), and this weighs 13 1/2 oz unboxed.  This 
isn't signed but the decorative casting on the bell marks this as a 
Stearns.  This is reasonably good shape and was cleaned.  There is a 
little wear to the finish.  The blade is clean other than a little 
frosting and there is plenty there to work with.  All the screws work 
and the tang which doubles as a depth stop moves. The tang has some 
spots of pitting but the rulings are good.  These guys sure ain't 
getting any easier to find, at least around these here parts.  $29.00

Uncommon Moseley Cabinet Pitch Reed or Double Bead Molding Plane. 
Measuring 9 3/8" long, the iron is 1/4" wide (makes 2 beads), and this 
weighs 12 1/4 oz unboxed.  The Moseley family made planes in London 
England over a long period of time, this plane bears the mark of John 
Moseley would worked from 1809 until 1818.  This is in decent condition 
for being 200 years old and was cleaned.  Note this is straight, any 
bending you see is because of camera lens distortion.  The body is good 
other than some stains.  The boxing has some chipping on the one edge 
between the toe and mouth and there is a small gap between the two 
sections between the mouth and the heel.  That also has some light 
dinging on the edges.  The end section could stand a drop of glue at the 
heel.  The Hildick iron does have some light pitting at the edge but 
there is plenty to work with.  The wedge is good other than some light 
wear.  This ain't minty and it sure ain't got that kind of price tag 
either but these reeding planes do not show up very often by any maker.

Goldenberg Victorian Ball Brace.  Measuring 11 3/8" overall, the sweep 
is 8 1/2", the throw is 4 1/4", and this weighs 1 lb 3 3/4 oz unboxed. 
Goldenberg was a French tool maker.  This is in reasonably good 
condition and was cleaned.  There some frosting and light pitting but 
nothing too bad there.  The chuck takes bits with square tangs as well 
as the European style flat tang bits, which is something that you do not 
see very often.  The chuck is good with no cracks and the screw works. 
The ball and the pad look to be beech.  The ball has an old repaired 
check but it's solid and turns freely.  The handle is little stiff but 
it does turn and there is no play on the shaft.  Both have a little wear 
and staining.  I gotta say that this style of brace does not show up 
very often in this kinda of shape and rarely do you see one that takes 
both styles of bits.  $32.00

Three Vintage Collectible Hardwood Cobblers Leather Creaser Seamer 
Tools.  The upper one is Lignum Vitae, 7 3/16" long, the middle one 
looks to be rosewood, 7 3/4" long, the lower one is rosewood, 7 5/8" 
long, and they weigh 10 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker. 
These are in decent condition and were cleaned.  There are some dings 
and stains.  The middle one has a knot hole on the side and a bunch of 
needle marks.  The tips have some wear and a couple have some chipping 
on the sides but there is plenty there on all of them to get the job 
done.  I gotta say that these guys are sure getting few and far between 
any more.  $30.00

Early Hand Forged Wheelwright Traveler.  Measuring 13 9/16" long, the 
wheel is 7 3/16", and this weighs 1 lb unboxed.  Not signed as to the 
maker.  This is in reasonably good condition for the age and was 
cleaned.  There is some patina but nothing too bad.  The wheel is good 
and all the spokes are present with no cracks that I can see.  There is 
a little crusty inside the fork but the wheel spins freely.  The handle 
is good other than few flaws that are left over from when this was made. 
  I gotta say that it has been a long time since I last had one of these 
guys and they sure ain't getting any easier to find.  $65.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/wheelwrighttool0401.jpg

Three Bent Spoon Carving Tool Gouges.  The upper one is a No. 25 sweep S 
J Addis with the Masonic London mark, a little under 1/4" wide at the 
edge and 9 5/16" overall, the middle is a No. 26 sweep, unsigned, 5/16" 
wide at the edge and 9" overall, the last is a No. 28 sweep, unsigned, 
1/4" wide at the edge and 8 1/2" overall, and they weigh 5 1/2 oz 
unboxed.  These are in reasonably good condition and were cleaned. 
Inside the sweep is clean, the edges could stand a touchup.  The shaft 
on the one has some rasp marks left over from when the handle was 
fitted.  The handles on the upper and lower one have some stains but are 
solid.  The brass ferrule on the middle one is cracked and there are a 
couple of checks in the wood under the ferrule but the blade is in 
tight.  These ain't minty but good carving tools seem to be few and far 
between, at least around these here parts.  $60.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/carvingtool0401.jpg

Vintage Small Brass Anvil Paperweight.  Measuring 3 1/16" long, the face 
is about 11/16" wide, this is 1 7/16" high, and this weighs 8 3/4 oz 
unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition and 
was cleaned.  There are some grinder scuffs left over from when this was 
made.  The face has some dings, so somebody must have used this guy a 
time or 3.  The base is good other than a small casting flaw.  This is 
what it is, but it is a neat little tool.  $18.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/anvil0402.jpg

Old Brass Drafting Protractor.  Measuring 3 3/4" long, 1 7/8" high, and 
this weighs 1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker, just marked 
USA. This is in reasonably good condition, the only cleaning was to take 
some funky off of the back.  The front has a few scuffs and stains but 
nothing too bad there.  All the markings are readable.  The back has 
some staining and scuffs as well.  This ain't perfect but it's a whole 
lot classier than those plastic ones.  $17.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/draftingtool0401.jpg

Early Hand Forged Workbench Plane or Planing Stop.  Measuring 8 1/4" 
long, 1 3/4" square, about 1 3/8" wide across the teeth, and this weighs 
1 lb 2 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  There is some rusting and pitting on the 
stop which was hand forged from an old file.  The teeth are good.  I did 
have the screw out but the end of the stop is embedded in the block. 
The block is black walnut.  That has some checks on the ends and dings 
from being knocked in and out of the bench.  I gotta say that these guys 
do not show up much at all any more.  $26.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/earlyplanestop0401.jpg

Early 2 Oz Jeweler Cross Peen Hammer.  Measuring 8 5/8" overall, the 
head is 2 9/16" long, the face is 1/2" in diameter, the peen is 7/16" 
wide, and this weighs 2 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker, 
Dorothy put her name on the one side and 11.20.93 (Nov. 20, 1893) on the 
other side.  Pretty neat eh?  This is in good shape for the age and was 
cleaned.  There is a little patina on the head but nothing too bad.  The 
face has some light dings as does the peen.  The handle is hand carved 
and could be the original one.  That is good for the most part.  I did 
rewedge the head but it does wiggle a little.  Just don't try pounding 
framing nails with this guy and it should be okay.  This is a neat tool 
and I'm sure it's got a story to tell.  $23.00

Machinist Parallel Clamp Style Hand Vise or Handvise.  Measuring 7 3/16" 
long, the jaws are 1 1/2" deep, 1/2" wide at the tips, and this weighs 
10 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in good condition 
and was lightly cleaned.  There ain't nothing much patina wise to fuss 
about.  The jaws are good.  They do have a V groove about 1/8" across at 
the tips that tapers down about 2/3rds of the way down to the screw. 
The screws are good as is the handle.  All in all this is a well crafted 
tool.  $30.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/handvise0401.jpg

Western Select Adjustable Vise Woodworking Bench Stock Clamp With Box. 
This weighs 5 oz unboxed.  This looks to be unused and was not cleaned. 
The tool is a good as they get.  The box has a little wear but nothing 
too bad.  This is a neat tool, you screw the base to the workbench top 
(screws aren't included, beg your wife for 3) and the sliding part is 
used to hold smaller stock for planing or carving.  This a right handy 
tool to have.  $23.00

Stanley SW No 282 Cabinet Hand Scraper.  This weighs 1 lb 6 3/4 oz 
unboxed.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The head has 
some wear to the japanning but most of it is there.  The wood block that 
holds the blade has some staining but it's solid.  The blade, which 
isn't signed, has some light frosting on the front, and a little pitting 
on the back.  The handle was refinished.  That ain't perfect but it's a 
lot better than it was.  This ain't minty but these guys rarely are.  $22.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/stanley2820401.jpg

Vintage Small Stanley Screwdriver.  Measuring 5 7/16" long, the tip is

was cleaned, and the handle repainted.  There is a slight twist at the 
tip but the blade was never ground down.  The shaft is good.  The handle 
has some dings and wear.  This ain't minty but most folks didn't buy 
these guys just to look at them. $14.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/screwdriver0401.jpg

L S Starrett No 166 A Machinist Pin Vise. This weighs 1/2 oz unboxed. 
This is in used but good condition and was not cleaned.  There isn't 
much in the way of patina on the head and chuck. The jaws are good.  The 
hard rubber handle has some light dings and stains but nothing too bad 
there.  The tube is clear all the way through.  This ain't NOS but it 
sure ain't bad.  $14.00

L S Starrett No 305 6 Inch Machinist Rule With Case.  This weighs 1 oz

some scratches on the front but the edges and corners are good and all 
the rulings are readable.  The back has some staining but the table is 
readable as well.  The case is good with the usual light wear.  This 
ain't minty but it will get the job done.  $17.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/machinisttool0410.jpg

Old & Unusual Oak Wood Groove Cutting Plane With Fence.  The body is 7 
1/8" long, 3 1/16" wide, the fence is 7 7/8" long, the blade is 3 3/4" 
wide across the edge, and this weighs 15 1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as 
to the maker, was user crafted.  This is in reasonably good condition 
and was cleaned.  The body has some stains but nothing too bad.  The 
screws for the fence and the blade clamps all work.  The blade has some 
pitting on both sides.  The tip of the cutout on the edge does sit down 
a little and will make a mark so this was for making thin grooves in 
wood.  This showed up with a bunch of molding planes so it sure isn't 
anything recent.  $24.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/woodenscraper0401.jpg

Complete Set Vintage Hand Made 3/32 Letter Stamps With Wooden Box.  This 
all weighs 1 lb 10 1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker, they 
were in a cardboard box that was pretty well trashed, but there is a 
picture of the end flap at the bottom of the main picture.  These are in 
used but good condition and were not cleaned.  Actually I really don't 
think that they were used much if at all.  The figures are all clear and 
the striking ends are good as well.  The wooden box is good, there is a 
date stamped on the base but I can't read it.  These do look and feel 
like quality tools to my eye.  $23.00

long, the faces are roughly 1 1/2" in diameter, and this weighs 2 lbs 12 
1/2 oz unboxed.  This is signed but I can't read it.  This is in well 
used condition and was cleaned.  THere is lots of patina going on this 
guy, including some pitting and dings.  Both faces have some dings and 
wear and I did run a file over some sharp mushrooming in a couple of 
spots.  The eye is good other than some light crusty.  This ain't a 
pretty tool and it ain't going to be a pretty job either.  $16.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/hammer0409.jpg

signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned. 
Been used a time or ten as well.  There is the usual patina found on 
these tools.  The face and peen have some mushrooming and I did tone 
down some of the sharper spots.  The handle has a bit of bend to it. 
The head is on tight.  This ain't no picture of perfection but these 
guys sure ain't been showing up much of late, at least around here.  $18.00

the tips and this weighs 4 oz unboxed.  This one isn't signed but not 
all of these were.  This will fit the 12" and 18" Starrett rules as well 
as the Brown & Sharpe rules of the same size.  This is in used but good 
condition and was cleaned.  Inside the V there is some light scuffs and 
stains pitting but nothing that will interfere with this guy doing it's 
job.  The sides are good.  The black finish is original and close to 
100%.  There is a user name scratch marked on the one arm.  The locking 
screw and tab are good.  This ain't minty but it sure ain't bad. $19.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/machinisttool0408.jpg

Three Bits For A Yankee 31 - 131 Automatic Screwdriver.  The upper one 
is an unsigned 1/4" straight bit, the middle one is a Yankee 5/16" 
straight bit, the end one is a Stanley 2 PT 1/4" Phillips bit, and they 
weigh 2 3/4 oz unboxed.  These will fit the Yankee No 31 and 131 
Automatic or push screwdrivers along with the A models.  These are in 
good condition, the one I cleaned was the middle one.  That has a few 
light spots of patina on the blade but nothing too bad.  The tips and 
chuck ends are good to go.  These guys ain't all that easy to fit for 
this model.  $17.00

weighs 4 lbs 14 1/2 oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition and was 
cleaned.  There is some overall patina on the body.  The face is good 
other than some dings around the edges.  The peen was dressed at some 
point and there are some dings on the edges as well.  The eye has some 
crusty down inside but considering how long it took me to get the old 
POS handle out of the eye, well it does it's job.  This ain't pretty but 
it wasn't made to do a pretty job.  $18.00
http://www.oldetoolshop.com/forsale/april/hammer0406.jpg

Stanley SW Screwdriver Bit For A Brace.  Measuring 4 5/16" long, the tip 
is 1/4" wide, and this weighs 1 oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition

long (across the center), the face is 1 3/16" square, the edge is 2" 
high (straight across), and this weighs 13 oz unboxed.  L A Sayre was a 
Newark NJ tool maker in business from 1884 until 1916.  This is in 
reasonably good condition for being at the least 100 years old and was 
cleaned.  There really isn't much in the way of patina to fuss about 
other than there is a chip off of the one side of the face.  The cross 
hatching on the face has some wear but there is plenty there.  The edge 
would need a sharpening.  The eye is good other than some dings on the 
top.  This ain't minty but tools of this age rarely are.  $18.00

  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The body was plated 
originally and that is worn in spots so that that copper wash is 
showing.  The face plate is sheet iron and has some light pitting.  The 
clear level vial is good.  The locking screw works and was oiled.  This 
ain't perfect but it does have some age to it.  $17.00

fair, the front has some staining and a few spots.  The back has some 
deep rust etching at the top.  The cutting face has some scuffs and few

more.  $14.00

9/16" square, and this weighs 7 1/2 oz unboxed.  There is a partial 
makers mark but nothing that I can read other than the Phila mark.  This 
is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some overall patina. 
The blade has a slight wave to it looking from the side but nothing that 
would affect this being used.  The handle has some pitting and here is a 
little bit of mushrooming on the end.  This ain't minty but you shuck 
clams all day and see how minty you look!   $24.00

Tiny Early Vintage 1 1/2 Oz Brass Plumb Bob.  Measuring 2 1/4" long 
overall, the body is 1 7/8 long, 3/4" in diameter, and this weighs 1 1/2 
oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in reasonably good 
condition and was cleaned.  There are some stained spots on the body and 
a few dings.  The tip is bent a little.  The original string cap is 
missing, just the threaded iron insert is there.  That is enough to hold 
a string in place (this did have string when it got here).  This ain't 
perfect but these tiny ones are sure few and far between.  $30.00
