267665 Anthony Seo 2019‑01‑14 FS: The Jewels OF January List A
And another year is here.  Pickings are still slow but I am still 
getting some stuff in.   The usual mix in here of collectible and usable 
old and a few new tools.

PayPal is now accepted and preferred (if you use it) on all items. On 
items less than $25 (not including shipping) I would appreciate you 
using the Send Money to Family & Friends option so I don't get killed 
with the fees but that is your call. Checks and money orders are still 
welcome, it just seems that 1st Class letters seem to be taking forever 
to get from there to 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!

Tyzack Sons & Turner No 131 8 Inch Gentleman's Steel Back Dovetail Saw. 
Measuring 12 13/16" overall, the blade is 8" long, 1 9/16" high (from 
the teeth to the start of the back), this is sharpened to 15 PT (14 TPI) 
CC, and this weighs 5 1/4 oz unboxed. This is NOS (that's New Old Stock) 
and was not cleaned. There is nothing to fuss about at all other than a 
few very light scuffs to the finish on the blade. This is factory sharp 
and straight and they don't get any better than this.  Note: This might 
vary slightly from the photo as I have a few of these.  $22.00

Craftsman Sargent No 79 Rabbet & Filletster Plane.  This weighs 2 lbs 14 
oz unboxed.  This was made by Sargent for Sears in the late 1940's.  
This is in decent condition and was 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 machined 
areas of the sides have some frosting.  The sole also has some frosting 
but nothing too bad patina wise.  The japanning is original and 95% 
present.  The cap is good.  The blade does have some light pitting 
overall, the cutting face isn't too bad and there is plenty there to 
work with.  The blade will need a sharpening.  All the screws work, 
including the knicker blade screw, and were oiled.  The fence rod works 
in both holes.  This ain't pristine but it will get the job done.  $40.00

Early Hand Forged 2 Inch Firmer Chisel.  Measuring 8 1/16" from the edge 
to the top of the handle, the blade is 4 1/4" long, 2" wide at the edge 
and tapers down to 1 7/8", this is 12 1/8" overall, and this weighs 1 lb 
2 1/4 oz unboxed.  There is a name stamped on the back of the shaft but 
I can't say if that's the marker or a user mark.  This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  The blade has some scuff marks on the back 
and some areas of light pitting.  The front also has some light pitting 
and patina.  There are some dings on the sides.  The shaft area has some 
scuff marks left over from when this was made and the tang bolster is 
good.  The handle is in fair condition.  There is a check that goes all 
the way up but the handle is on tight.  There is also some deep chips 
and slivers.  I did saw off a little bit of nasty fuzzy stuff on the 
end.  So the handle will need replacing, but the ferrule is good and 
that's a start.  This ain't pretty or perfect but it does have some age 
to it and well it ain't all that bad either.  $24.00

Irwin No 62T 3/4 Inch Brace Auger Bit.  This weighs 4 1/2 oz unboxed.  
This is NOS, that's New Old Stock, and was not cleaned. There ain't 
nothing much to fuss about at all other than a little staining on the 
case.  The cutters, spurs, lead screw, and tang are all factory fresh.  
They don't get any better than this.  $14.00

Two Lufkin Machinist No 41 3 Inch Outside Calipers. They are 3 11/16" 
long and they weigh 1 3/4 oz unboxed. These are NOS, that's New Old 
Stock. I did clean off some oil residue on these (they were oiled at the 
factory). There is a little still up in the joints and there and here. 
There are a few stained spots (these weren't stored very well), but they 
work just fine. Lufkin machinist tools are every bit as good as their 
Starrett and Brown & Sharpe cousins. A good pair of Lufkin layout tools 
for sure!

Four Yankee No 30 130 Screwdriver Bits. Left to right there is a 3/16" 
straight, a 1/4" straight, 1/4" Phillips, a 5/16" Phillips, and they 
weigh 3 1/2 oz unboxed. The straight bits are signed and the Phillips 
are not maker marked. These will fit the Yankee and Stanley No. 30 and 
131 push screwdrivers along with the A models. These are NOS (that's New 
Old Stock) but they were lying around in a barn for the past 35 or so 
years and I did do some cleaning on them. The Phillips have a few small 
spots of staining and the 1/4" straight does have a few spots where the 
plating is flaking on the blade.  But the tips and tang ends are all 
good to go. This is a good working set of these guys for the price.  $18.00

Unusual Early Hand Forged Blacksmith Anvil Hardie.  Measuring 5 7/8" 
long, the face is roughly 1 7/8" long, 1 1/2" wide, the shaft is about 
7/8" square, and this weighs 2 lbs 8 1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to 
the maker.  This does have chisel and punch mark decorations on both 
sides of the head.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There 
is some patina but nothing that didn't come from old age and hard work.  
The face is good other than some staining.  The head and shaft are bent 
a little but when you get to be this old, you are gonna be more than a 
little bent.  The center section is tapered and the hole below the 
center and the holes on the sides are also tapered, although they may 
have been added to this guy later in it's history.  I an thinking that 
this was used for drawing down a rod to a smaller size, but it didn't 
come with the instruction manual so that's just a somewhat educated 
guess. This is a neat and very collectible blacksmith tool and it sure 
didn't get here for free either.  Just saying.  $55.00

Hand Forged Early 11 oz Cross Peen Hammer Head.  Measuring 4 11/16" 
long, the face is 11/16" square, the peen is 13/16" wide, and this 
weighs 11 1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in 
decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some overall light patina, 
including pitting and some dings.  The face has some light pitting and a 
few small chips around the edge.  The peen is good other than a little 
wear on the edges.  The punched eye is tapered at the rear but it's good 
otherwise.  This ain't pretty or perfect but for light metal work, it 
will get the job done.  $17.00

Two C S Osborne No 89 3 Inch Cabinet Makers Pinch Dogs.  They weigh 4 oz 
unboxed.  These are in used condition and were not cleaned. There is 
some wear and light patina.  The tops have some light dings.  The tips 
will need a quick sharpening.  These ain't minty but these bigger ones 
sure don't show up very often and they are a whole lot cheaper than the 
new ones.  Just saying.  $16.00

P M Co No 5 5/16 Inch Forstner Bit For A Brace.  Measuring 6 5/8" long 
and this weighs 1 1/2 oz unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition 
and was cleaned.  There ain't much in the way of patina to fuss about.  
The rim has some light dings but that and the cutter feel sharp to the 
touch.  There is no center point on bits of this size.  The tang is 
good.  This ain't pristine but this size does not show up very often.  
$14.00

Proto No 1308-P 8 oz Ball Peen Hammer.  Measuring 12 3/8" overall, the 
head is 3" long, the face is 15/16" in diameter, the peen is 3/4" in 
diameter, and this weighs 10 1/2 oz total unboxed.  This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  The head is good other than a few tiny 
dings.  The face also has some dings and the peen is good. The handle is 
the original one.  That was stripped and waxed.  The original green 
paint was pretty messed up with other paint and grease.  There are some 
ding,and stains but it's solid and the head is on tight.  This ain't 
pristine but it is a quality old hammer. $17.00

Thomas 1904 Patent Twin Spur Corn Husker.  This weighs 4 1/4 oz 
unboxed.  Robert A. Thomas of Shenandoah, Iowa was granted Pat. No 
767,918 on Aug. 16, 1904 for the design of this tool.  This is in decent 
condition and was not cleaned.  There is a little patina on the plate 
and the spurs but nothing too bad.  The spurs are fastened with screws 
on the back of the plate and are accessed through slits in the leather.  
I tried all the screws and they do turn but I didn't have them all the 
way out.  The leather has some staining on the front and there is an 
area where it's worn through on the back side.  The straps are stiff but 
not cracked.  This ain't pristine but then this wasn't something that 
purchased just to be admired for it's beauty and it's the first one of 
these that I have seen. $22.00

Stanley No 95 Door Butt Marking Gage Or Gauge.  This weighs 9 oz 
unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition and was not cleaned. 
There is a wee bit of patina but nothing worth kicking the cat over.  
The plating is good other than some scuffing.  The tips have been 
sharpened in the past but are good to go and the screws work. This ain't 
100% minty but as these guys go, this one is pretty darn close.  $15.00

G I Mix No 1 EX 8 Inch Draw Knife Or Drawknife.  Measuring 14 3/4" 
overall, the blade is 7 15/16" long, 1 1/8" +/- a little wide across the 
edge, and this weighs 15 1/2 oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition 
and was cleaned.  The back of the blade has some light patches of 
pitting and some scuffing.  The top is good with no dings.  The front of 
the blade has some frosting and light patina. The edge is good but will 
need a quick sharpening.  The walnut handles both have some wear and 
flat spots.  The right one wiggles a bit but it ain't going to fall 
off.  The ferrules and end caps have some frosting as well.  This ain't 
minty but it will get the job done.  $28.00

Three Millers Falls No 30 Bench Chisels.  The first one is a 5/8" 
measuring 8 1/16" overall, the blade is 2 11/16" long, the middle one is 
a 3/4" measuring 8 1/4" overall, the blade is 2 7/8" long, the last one 
is a 1" measuring 8 5/16" overall, the blade is 2 15/16" long, and they 
weigh 1 lb 3 1/2 oz unboxed.  These are in decent condition overall and 
were cleaned.  The backs of the blades are good other than some staining 
and a little frosting.  The fronts have more of the same.  The edges 
will need a sharpening.  The Buck Rogers Permaloid handles all have some 
wear and bits of paint and glue that didn't want to come off without a 
fight and 2 of them have hanging holes.  The striking buttons are all 
dinged up but that is what they are there for.  These ain't pristine but 
they are quality working tools.  $45.00

Two Blacksmith Hand Held Drift Punches.  The upper one is 6 3/8" long, 
the tip is 5//16" square, 9/16" by 1/2" where the handle starts, the 
lower one is 7 1/16" long, about 3/4" in diameter at the start of the 
handle area,  and they weigh 1 lb 6 1/4 oz unboxed. Not signed as to the 
maker.  These are in decent condition and were cleaned.  There is some 
overall patina.  I did run a file over some mushrooming on the tip of 
the upper one and there are some dings on the edges for the first 5/8" 
or so.  The tip on the lower one is good.  I did dress down a little bit 
of sharp stuff on the striking ends of both of them and they are good 
other than some dinging. This ain't fancy and they sure ain't pretty but 
they will get the job done.  $18.00

Early Stanley Excelsior No 9 1/2 Block Plane Body To Restore.  This 
weighs 15  oz unboxed.  Based on the dates on the lateral lever, this 
was made between 1890 and 1898.  This is in to restore condition and was 
cleaned.  Read on.  The sides have some light pitting and rust etching 
but no cracks or chips on the rails like a lot of these that you see.  
The sole has some more rust etching and pitting but the rear of the 
mouth is good with no cracks.  The japanning, what's left of it, is 
original and about 60%.  I did not put anything on the body in case you 
want to refinish this guy.  The mouth adjuster works (insert the 
appropriate cussing) and I did wipe down the insides with some wax to 
prevent future rusting.  All the screws work and were oiled.  The cap 
that came with this guy has a crack in in (not shown) and the original 
blade was ground down to the slot and the slot had been deepened almost 
to the logo (somebody really loved that blade eh?).  I will toss them in 
the package if you want them but they aren't usable.  This is what it is 
but it is an intact body for a collectible plane.  $24.00

John S Fray No 112 12 Inch Sweep Spofford Brace.  This weighs 2 lbs 1 
1/2" oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned. The frame 
has frosting and spots of light pitting.  The chuck is good.  The screw 
is the original one.  The head is slightly twisted and there are pliers 
marks on it, but the threads are good and were oiled.  The grip was 
repaired with wire at some point in time (common with these guys) but it 
does spin freely.  The pad has some dings around the edges and some wear 
on the back but it's solid and spins freely with just a little play on 
the shaft.  That also was oiled.  This ain't minty and it sure ain't got 
the price of a minty one either but these 12" models sure don't show up 
every day. $40.00

Vintage Solid Brass 14 oz Plumb Bob.  Measuring 3 9/16" long, 1 11/16" 
in diameter at the top, and this weighs 14 1/2 oz unboxed. Not signed as 
to the maker.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There are 
some dings, scratches, and wear on the body. The steel tip is a little 
dull.  The string cap is good and does remove.  This ain't the fanciest 
but it will get the job done. $17.00

Old Wood Cased Sharpening Stone Or Hone.  The case is 8 7/16" long, 3" 
wide, the stone is 6 3/8" long, 2" wide, and this weighs 2 lb unboxed.  
Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition and was 
cleaned.  The stone looks to be a fine grit natural stone. That has some 
wear in the center, some scratches, and some chips on the edges.  The 
stone is glued into the case (not my doings!)  The case looks to be made 
from a block of pine but I can't be sure on that.  That also has some 
dings, stains, and a small check on the top.  Somebody filled down the 
nail points on the bottom (also before this got here).  There is no lid 
and I sort of think that it never had one.  This ain't pristine but it 
does have some age to it.  $24.00

Keen Kutter Block Plane Blade.  Measuring 4 7/8" long, 1 5/8" wide, and 
this weighs 3 oz unboxed.  This will fit either the K110 or K130 block 
planes.  This is in decent shape and was cleaned.   There are some light 
scratches overall from being cleaned.  There is a light spot of pitting 
on the front, a deeper one on the center of the back and a lighter one 
about 3/4 of the way down.  The cutting face is good other than some 
frosting.  The edge does have a ding on it. This is what it is, but it 
ain't like they are making them no more. $14.00

Big Early Hand Forged Tapered Reamer Of Coopers Bung Auger. Measuring 12 
11/16" overall in length, the blade is 9" long (including the lead 
screw), 1 7/8" wide across the top, the handle is 7 1/8" wide, and this 
weighs 1 lb unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent 
condition overall and was cleaned.  The back of the blade has some light 
pitting.  The inside has some patina but that was never finished off 
real pretty like to start with.  The lead screw is good.  The edges 
would need a quick sharpening.  The handle looks to be boxwood, which is 
not all that common on these tools.  That has some staining and chipping 
at both ends and there is a good sized check on the underside along the 
tang.  The handle is on tight.  This ain't pretty or perfect but 
figuring that it's well over 100 years old and probably a whole lot 
older, well it sure ain't bad.  $27.00

Early Hand Forged Blacksmith Hot Cut Chisel Head.  Measuring 7 1/4" 
long, the edge is 1 7/16" high, and this weighs 3 lb 6 1/2 oz unboxed.  
Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition overall and was 
cleaned.  There is some pitting and patina on the head but this guy was 
never a pretty tool to start with.  I did rough in a new edge to clean 
up some chipping but that will need some fine tuning if you want to use 
this to shave your hee haw with.  The striking end has a little 
mushrooming and some dings and a few tiny checks.  The punched eye is 
good save for a little crusty.  This ain't minty but it will ge the job 
done.  $18.00

Early Hand Forged Double Face Stone Mason Hammer Head.  Measuring 4 
3/16" long (across the center on the side). the one face is 2 13/16" 
high, 1 1/2" wide, the other is 2 3/4" high, 1 9/16" wide, and this 
weighs 5 lbs 10 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in 
decent condition overall and was cleaned.  This does have steel faces on 
an iron body.  There is some overall pitting.  Both of the faces have 
some wear on the side edges, the one has bit more than the other one.  
There are voids inside the eye but those are left over from when this 
was made and they sure didn't stop the last guy from putting a handle 
on.  This ain't pristine but this guy has some serious age to it and 
this style of stone hammer does not show up very often.  $22.00

Older 6 oz Ball Peen Hammer.  Measuring 6 7/8" overall, the head is 2 
7/16" long, the face is 7/8"  in diameter, the peen is 5/8" in diameter, 
and this weighs 6 1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is 
in decent condition overall and was cleaned.   There is a little patina 
on the head.  The peen has some light dings.  The face also has some 
light dings and I did take some mushrooming off of the edge.  The handle 
is old and short (look in the mirror!). That has some dings and a few 
tiny bits of paint but it's solid and on tight.  This ain't the fanciest 
but it will get the job done. $17.00

Long Vintage J Meller Cast Steel Turnscrew Or Screwdriver. Measuring 18" 
long, the tip is 9/16" wide, and this weighs 11 oz unboxed.  I did some 
looking but nothing showed up on this maker. This is in decent condition 
and was cleaned.  The blade has some light pitting at the tip, some 
overall frosting, and some dinging on the sides.  The beech handle has a 
couple of thin checks under the ferrule but the blade is in tight.  
There are some stains, dings, and a few tiny bits of paint down in the 
grain as well, but the handle is solid.  This ain't pristine but these 
bigger ones rarely are.  $17.00

Early Hand Forged Mortising Axe Head With Issues.  Measuring 8 1/4" long 
(across the center), the edge is 1 1/2" high (straight across), and this 
weighs 3 lbs 6 1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in 
fair condition overall and was cleaned.  There is the usual patina on 
the head.  There is some carnage on the poll, there is a piece that has 
broken out and the eye is cracked.  I did take down a couple of very 
sharp spots on the sides of the poll. This ain't going to be a user (not 
without some serious blacksmith intervention) but still is a collectible 
early tool and well all the good ones I see around here anymore are 
priced at least twice what I'm asking for this guy.  $25.00

Original Stillman Non Patent Sawset Or Saw Set.  Measuring 6 5/8" long 
and this weighs 4 1/4 oz unboxed.  Abel Stillman of Poland, NY was 
granted the first US patent for a sawset in 1848 which which was copied 
and made by a lot of makers, but this model he never patented and was 
made by him alone, at least with the brass jaw clamp.  This is in 
reasonably good condition and was cleaned.  The arm has some spots of 
staining and a little frosting but nothing too bad.  The brass jaw clamp 
is good with no cracks (a common problem with these guys).  The jaw has 
some light wear on the tips.  The walnut handle is original and good 
other than some stains and a few light dings. All the screws work and 
were oiled.  This ain't pristine but for a tool that is easily over 160 
years old, well it sure ain't bad. $18.00

Vintage 3/16 Inch Mortising Chisel.  Measuring 7 3/8" from the edge to 
the top of the handle, this 13 1/4" is overall, and this weighs 9 1/2 oz 
unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition 
overall and was cleaned.  The back of the blade has some dings and wear 
right at the edge.  This will need a good sharpening.  The rest of the 
blade has some staining and frosting. The handle looks to be the 
original one.  That has some stains, dings, and there is some chipping 
starting at the striking end.  The blade is in tight.  This ain't pretty 
or perfect but it will get the job done.  $24.00

Old Forged Stone Or Brick Mason Cement Pointing Tool.  Measuring 8" long 
(straight across), the wide end is a hair under 3/4" in diameter, the 
smaller end is 5/16" in diameter at the tip, and this weighs 14 oz 
unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition 
overall and was cleaned.  There is some overall pitting on the tool but 
the faces are fairly good other than some light stuff.  There is a 
little wear on the faces as well.  This ain't pristine but you ain't 
gonna buy a pointing tool of this quality at the hardware stores no 
more.  $17.00

Two W Butcher Edge Tools.  The upper one is a 1/4" chisel measuring 4 
3/8" from the edge to the top of the handle, the blade is 3 11/16" long, 
this is 10 5/16" overall, the lower one is a gouge measuring 4 1/8" from 
the edge to the top of the handle, the blade is 3 1/16" long, 7/16" wide 
across the outside of the sweep, this is 10 1/8" overall, and they weigh 
5 1/2 oz unboxed.  These are in decent condition overall and were 
cleaned.  The blade on the chisel has some spots of light pitting on the 
back and some overall frosting but that will work out as this is 
sharpened.  The front also has some patina going.  The gouge has some 
light spots on the inside of the sweep but the back is fairly good other 
than some frosting. Both will need a sharpening.  The handles look to be 
the original ones.  They both have some dings and stains and the brass 
ferrule on the gouge has a split, but they are solid.  These ain't 
pristine but they still have lots of life left in them and the W Butcher 
reputation for quality tools has stood the test of time.   $24.00

Vintage S & H Mfg Co Clinton WI Cement Gutter Trowel.  Measuring 6" 
long, 4 3/4" wide across the top of the body, 1 5/8" deep at the center, 
and this weighs 1 lb 13 1/2 oz unboxed.  The Smith and Holtum 
Manufacturing Co made cement tools from 1902 until 1945. This is in 
decent condition overall and was cleaned.  The face of the body was 
plated originally and that is worn in spots.  There are also some spots 
of light pitting and scratches.  The edges are good (the end edges were 
rounded at the factory).  Inside the body there is some patina and 
rusting but that was never plated.  The handle has some stains but it's 
solid and on tight.  I did not mess with the screws.  This ain't 
pristine but this is not a commonly found cement tool and you sure ain't 
gonna buy of of this quality at the local hardware store any more.  $22.00

is 3 3/4" long, the face is 1 5/8" in diameter, the peen is 1 5/16" 
wide, and this weighs 14 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker, 
this is just marked Cast Steel on the one side.  This is in decent 
condition overall and was cleaned.  There is some light patina on the 
head, some staining and a few dings but nothing too bad. The face is 
good with just some light dings and one tiny chip off of the edge.  The 
peen has some roughness and a little mushrooming on the underside.  The 
handle looks to be the original one.  That has a check under the eye, a 
little roughness on the one side, some chipping at the end and a split 
starting there as well. There is a bun1ch of extra hardware holding the 
head on and it does wiggle a little but it ain't going to come off.  
This ain't minty but it does have some age to it.  $17.00

edges are 1 3/8" wide, 15/16" high at the eye, and this weighs 1 lb 1 
1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  There is some light pitting on the top and 
sides and some deeper spots on the undersides of the edges.  The edges 
have some dings but they are fairly good.  The punched eye is good other 
than a little scuffing and a couple of light saw marks from a previous 
handle job.  This ain't minty but these guys are sure few and far 
between any more, at least around these here parts.  $22.00

the head is 4 7/8" long (straight across), the face is 7/8" in diameter, 
the claws are 1 5/16" wide across the tips, and this weighs 1 lb 7 3/4 
oz unboxed.  This is in reasonable condition for the age and use and was 
cleaned.  The head is good, there is a little frosting and some scuffs 
left over from when it was made but nothing too bad patina wise. The 
face has some light dings.  The claws have a little chipping along the 
inside edges but they aren't all blown out.  The eye looks good with no 
cracks that I can see. The handle is fair and might be the original 
one.  That has a check under the eye and some dings, stains, some 
chipping at the end, and a few tiny bits of paint down in the grain.  
The head is on tight thanks to an assortment of wedges in there.  This 
ain't minty but the Heller name has stood for quality for a long time.

Vintage Stanley No 12 4 Inch Improved Try Square.  Measuring 5 1/8" 
overall, the blade is 4" long, this is 3 7/16" high, and this weighs 4 
1/2 oz unboxed.  This is a Type 3 which was made by Stanley for a long 
time.  This is in decent condition overall and was cleaned. The one side 
of the blade has one area of light pitting and a few dots and frosting, 
the other side is fairly clean.  The rulings are readable on both sides 
but they are very faint.  the edges and corners are good.  The machined 
areas of the handle are good other than a user name stamped on the back 
and end.  The plating on the inside of the handle has some light crusty 
but most of it is there. This is true according to my reference square 
here.  This ain't minty but this is not a commonly found size for one of 
these guys. $19.00

Long Early Wood Compass Sole Slitting Gage Or Gauge To Restore.  The 
beam is 21 3/4" long, 1 1/16" wide, 15/16" high, the head is 5 9/16" 
wide, 2 15/16" high, and this weighs 1 lb 5 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed 
as to the maker.  This is reasonably good condition and was cleaned but 
it will need some work.  The beam is straight but it does have a slight 
twist to it.  The tote style handle is also good other than a small chip 
off of the horn.  The handle does come off the tool and will need to be 
re-wedged but that will make the shipping a little easier.  The head has 
a little chipping around the beam mortise on the back but the sole is 
good and the screw works. This will need, the blade and blade wedge, the 
shoe between the beam and the head, and circular piece that goes inside 
the head between the shoe and the end of the screw.  This will need some 
work but this is a handy and collectible tool.  $24.00

Jackson Bros Pittsburgh PA Wood Handle Tack Lifter.  Measuring 7 3/16" 
long, the claws are a little under 1/2" wide across the tips, and this 
weighs 2 1/2 oz unboxed. The Jackson Bros were a Pittsburgh PA tool 
maker, mainly mason's tools but they did make others.  This is in 
reasonably good condition and was cleaned by someone else. There isn't 
much in the way of patina.  The claws are bent a little at the tips but 
they are good otherwise.  The wooden handle does have a thin check on 
the one side but the blade is in tight.  I gotta say that I sure don't 
see too many tools around by this maker.  $17.00

Big Vintage Wood Cabinetmakers C-Clamp.  The body is 13" long (outside), 
8 1/2" high, inside it's 9" across, the throat is 5" deep, and this 
weighs 2 lbs 11 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in 
reasonably good condition and was not cleaned. There is the usual patina 
but nothing too bad.  There are a couple of checks showing on the joints 
but this is solid.  The screw was replaced at some point, there are 2 
holes but the other one is a small diameter.  The hole was drilled at a 
little bit of an angle so the screw isn't exactly parallel with the 
body.  The threads have a few dings but the screw is straight.  I gotta 
say that I haven't seen too many of these guys around of late and rarely 
are they in this kind of shape.  $24.00

Vintage Ice Axe Or Hatchet.  Measuring 11 11/16" overall, the head is 9" 
long (across the center), the edge is 1 11/16" high (straight across), 
and this weighs 1 lb 8 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is 
in reasonably good condition and was cleaned.  It arrived here with a 
user applied coat of red paint on most of the head and since you never 
know what that is hiding, I took that off. There are a few spots where 
it didn't want to come off.  The blade area is clean other a little 
frosting down on the lower end on both sides.  The body has some 
roughness but that was left over from when this was made.  The spike is 
good.  The handle looks to be the original one.  That is good other than 
a few spots along the front where some slivers have lifted out of the 
grain and the head is on tight.  I gotta say that this is not a very 
common size to find one of these tools in and getting one in this kind 
of shape is a real find.  $50.00

Early Hand Forged Stone Or Brick Mason Hammer.  Measuring 11 3/4" 
overall, the head is 8 1/2" long, the face is roughly 7/8" square, the 
peen is  1 1/16" wide, and this weighs 1 lb 12 oz unboxed.  Not signed 
as to the maker.  This is in reasonably good condition for the age and 
use and was cleaned.  This had been cleaned previously and there are 
some scuff marks on the body from that.  The face was also dressed.  
There are some stuffs and a few light dings but that is good to go.  I 
did run a file over some sharp spots around the edge. The peen is dulled 
but that could be fixed if you want it sharp.  The handle is old but 
solid and the head is on tight.  That is warped a little towards the 
back.  This ain't perfect but this is a solid and well crafted early 
tool.  $22.00

Stanley No 25 10 Inch Sliding Adjustable Bevel Square.  This weighs 5 
1/4 oz unboxed.  This is in used but good condition and was not 
cleaned.  The blade has a few lightly stained spots and the bluing is 
worn a little but nothing too bad.  The edges and corners are good.  The 
handle has the original finish.  There is a little funky on the brass 
under the finish.  The locking lever is bent a little but that happens 
with these larger ones and it does it's job.  This ain't pristine but it 
sure ain't bad and these bigger ones are sure getting harder to find in 
this kind of shape.  $20.00

Stanley Rule & Level No 103 Block Plane.  This weighs 12 1/2 oz 
unboxed.  This has the B casting mark on the body which shows up on 
tools made by Stanley between 1899 and 1902.  This is in decent 
condition and was 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 sole has some 
scratches and a few light spots of pitting but nothing too bad.  The 
japanning is original, it's worn on on the side, on the other side and 
inside the body it's good other than a few bits of paint.  The finish on 
the cap is worn but the thumb wheel is good. The blade has some light 
patina on the front and some frosting on the cutting face but there is 
lots there to work with.  The blade will need a sharpening.  The depth 
lever works and was oiled.  This ain't pristine but then planes that are 
over 115 years old rarely are.  $20.00

Charles Buck 1/4 Inch Firmer Chisel.  Measuring 6 13/16" from the edge 
to the top of the handle, the blade is 5 11/16" long, this is 11 15/16" 
overall, and this weighs 2 1/4 oz unboxed.  The mark is faint but I 
figured it out.  This is in reasonably good condition for the age of the 
tool and was cleaned.  The first 1/2 of the back is good other than a 
few stained spots, after that there are a few dots of pitting and some 
staining.  The front is good save for some frosting.  The handle has 
stamped user initials and a little wear and staining on the striking end 
but it's solid.  This ain't perfect but Charles Buck edge tools were 
considered to be the best of their day.  $20.00

Early Wood Chairmakers Pad Brace Or Bitstock.  Measuring 13 3/8" long, 
the sweep about is 8 1/2", the chuck opening is roughly 11/16" square, 
the pad is 3 1/2" in diameter, and this weighs 1 lb 3 oz unboxed.  Not 
signed as to the maker.  This is in reasonable condition for the age.  
Somebody else refinished this guy, I just gave it a wipedown with some 
wax.  The body is good for the most part, there are some thin checks 
there and here.  The underside of the section that holds that pad has a 
split that runs the full distance.  That could be repaired without too 
much loss of life. The chuck is good and is sheathed with copper.  The 
bits for these tool were mounted into blocks of wood called pads that 
fit into the chuck, I didn't get any of those with this guy.  The pad is 
good, there is some play but that's to be expected.  I have to say that 
these tools are sure getting few and far between, and while this one 
isn't perfect, it sure ain't bad either.  $40.00

Early Hand Forged Fire Steel Striker.  Measuring 3 1/4" long, 1 1/2" 
wide across the center, and this weighs 1 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as 
to the maker.  This is in fair condition and was lightly cleaned.  There 
is lots of patina including some dings.  The back is bent and the forge 
weld line is starting to open up.  I didn't test this to see if it would 
still throw a spark but I doubt that it would without some serious rust 
removal the face.  I have to say that these guys are sure getting few 
and far between any more. $24.00

Early Turnscrew With A Blade Hand Forged From A File.  Measuring 10 1/4" 
long, the tip is 1/4" wide, and this weighs 3 1/2 oz unboxed. Not signed 
as to the maker.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The 
blade has some spots of light pitting and staining. The handle came off 
of a regular turnscew (not my doings thank you!).  That has some wear, 
stains, dings, and somebody cut a cross onto both sides of the flat.  
There is a check under the ferrule but the blade is in tight.  This 
ain't the prettiest but it is a collectible tool.  $17.00

Two Karpenter Mortising Chisels.  The upper one is a 1/4" measuring 10 
5/8" from the edge to the end of the socket, the blade is 8" long, this 
is 15 5/8" overall, the lower one is a 1/2" measuring 10 15/16" from the 
edge to the end of the socket, the blade is 8" long, this is 15 1/2" 
overall, and they weigh 1 lb 2 oz unboxed. Karpenter was a brand name 
used by the Winsted Edge Tool Company best known for the T H Witherby 
brand of tools.  Look it up.  These are in reasonably good condition and 
were cleaned.  Note these are straight, any bending you see is because 
of camera lens distortion. The back of the 1/4" has some light frosting 
and a few spots of light pitting down by the socket but nothing too 
bad.  The back of the 1/2" is good save for a few very light dots.  The 
sides and tops of both have some small spots of patina.  Both of the 
edges do have chips and will need a good sharpening.  The sockets have 
some light pitting.  The handles are the original ones.  They have some 
staining but are good to go.  These ain't perfect but they are quality 
tools with a lot of life left in them.  $55.00

7/8" long, the head is 1 5/8" wide, the blade is 11/16" wide at the 
center, and this weighs 3 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker. This 
is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There is the usual patina found 
on these tools.  The cutting face of the blade has some light pitting. 
The edge has some light dings but it's close to sharp.  The hand carved 
handle is good other than some stains.  The tang goes all the way though 
the handle and is peened over at the end.  This ain't perfect but these 
guys are sure getting hard to find.  $40.00
