278379 Tony Seo 2024‑04‑15 FS: The Toolz Of 2024 List 4-2
Second round of tools for April.  Pickings have been fairly good so far
for the month and there are some great fresh tools on the list this
time.  Get them while they are hot (not THAT kinda hot..!!)

PayPal is preferred (if you use it) on all items. It's easier for me to

ship items off of a paid PayPal invoice, especially First Class ones.

Checks and money orders are still welcome.

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.
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!

SEVEN G I Mix No 1 EX Paring Bevel Side Chisels.  There is a 3/4",
measuring 8 13/16" from the edge to the end of the socket, the blade is
6 1/8" long, a 7/8", measuring 9 3/16" from the edge to the end of the
socket, the blade is 6 1/8" long, a 1", measuring 9 1/16" from the edge
to the end of the socket, the blade is 6 1/8" long, a 1 1/4", measuring
9 1/2" from the edge to the end of the socket, the blade is 6" long, a 1
1/2", measuring 10 1/8" from the edge to the end of the socket, the
blade is 6 3/16" long, a 1 3/4", measuring 10 1/8" from the edge to the
end of the socket, the blade is 6 1/4" long, a 2", measuring 10 1/8"
from the edge to the end of the socket, the blade is 6 1/4" long, and
they weigh 4 lbs 5 oz unboxed.  These are in reasonably good condition
and were cleaned. The backs have a few spots of very light pitting,
along with some staining and frosting, but overall nothing too bad.  The
tops have more of the same.  The edges are fairly good, but will need a
little work.  I did take off a little sharp mushrooming off of a couple
of the sockets, and the one is a little funky on the inside where
somebody else got aggressive removing an old handle, but they are good. 
These will need handles, I've tried to get a nice matching set together
with no luck.  These ain't pristine, but they sure ain't bad, and sets
like this are getting few and very far between of late.  The price
includes US Priority Mail Shipping with insurance and signature
confirmation.  $375.00

plane maker who worked from 1855 until 1872.  This is the C mark which
is rated 3 "***" for rarity.  This is in decent condition and was

use this with a plow plane fence for some reason.  There is a little
wear to the back down at the sole.  The mouth isn't super tight, but it
was never messed with.  The W Butcher iron is clean, but the edge is a
little uneven.  The wedge has a little chipping on the top.  This ain't
perfect, but side rabbet planes are sure not very common to say the
least.  $32.00

1,424,383 on Aug. 1, 1922 and Pat. No. 1,568,295 on Jan. 5, 1926 for the

cap nut for the rods works.  This has 3 rods total (one in the tool and
2 in the box).  They have a little wear on the sides, but nothing too
bad.  This also has the wrench.  The oak box has some dings and light

mouths are good.  Both of the irons have some small spots of pitting,

Made In USA mark.  This is a probably a Wm Johnson.  This is in

FIVE C Maier Carving Tools.  There is a 1/8" and a 1/4" skew chisel, a
3/32" V-gouge, a 5/16" and 7/16" fishtail gouge and they weigh 2 oz
unboxed.  C. Maier & Sons were a Newark NJ tool maker, they started in
the 1800's and were around until the 1920's, but not a lot is known
about the company.  These are in reasonably good condition and were
cleaned by someone else.  There ain't much in the way of patina to fuss
about.  A couple of the edges will need a little touch up.  These will
need handles, but that is easy enough to do.  Maier carving tools are
known for their quality and their smaller sizes make these ideal for
detail work.  $65.00

inside of the sweep, 13/16" across the outside, this is 11 1/12"
overall, and this weighs 5 1/2 oz unboxed.  L. & I. J. White were
Buffalo NY toolmakers who were in business from 1837 until 1928.  This
is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned. The inside of the sweep
is clean other than a light patch of pitting around the center.  The
back has some stained spots, but nothing too bad.  The edge is wicked
good.  The London pattern handle looks to be apple wood.  That has some
dings, stains, and a couple of small chips, but it's solid.  This ain't
pristine, but it's a quality tool that will get the job done.  $27.00

Early Rosewood & Brass 2 ft Folding Rule.  The body is 12 3/8" long and
this weighs 1 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker, but this
could be 18th or early 19th Century as to the age.  This is in good
condition and was cleaned at some point, but not by me.  The body has
some light stains and is missing a few of the tiny brass pins, but
nearly all of them are present.  There are also hand stamped numerals as
well.  NOW, an inch on this guy is actually 15/16", but that has varied
a lot over the years.  There is a very slight outward bow to both
sections looking from the slot.  The brass rule is good save for some
wear to the corners.  The joint is fairly good, but does get a little
loose with the brass straight out.  I gotta say that rules like this are
few and very far between.  $160.00

Maples & Sons Cast Steel No 5 11/16" Carving Tool Gouge. Measuring 5"
from the edge to the top of where the handle would start, the blade is
11/16" wide across the sweep, the sweep looks to be a No. 5, this is 7
1/4" overall, and this weighs 2 oz unboxed. This is in fair condition
and was cleaned.  Somebody else had polished the sweep a little at the
edge, but after that there is some overall light pitting on the inside. 
The back is fairly clean for the most part.  The tang is good.  This
will need a handle. This ain't perfect, but with a little work, it will
get the job done.  $14.00

long, the face is 1 5/16" in diameter, the peen is 1 3/8" wide, and this
weighs 14 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker. This is in decent
condition and was cleaned.  There is some overall roughness on the head
left over from when this was made.  The black finish is original and
most of that is present.  The face has some tiny dings, but nothing too
bad.  The peen is good.  The handle was user crafted and was hand carved
from a piece of oak.  That has some checks at the end and some long gone
worm holes, but it's solid enough to use.  This ain't pristine, but it
will get the job done. $17.00

overall, the head is 2 1/4" long, the face and peen are 7/16" in
diameter, and this weighs 4 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the
maker.  This is in reasonably good condition and was not cleaned. There
are a few dots and small spots of patina, but this has almost all of the
original finish.  The pictures tell the rest of the story.  This is what
it is, but to my eye it is kinda neat.  $14.00

long and this weighs 2 3/4 oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition and
was cleaned.  There is some light frosting on the legs and some light
pitting down by the tips.  The spring and tips are good otherwise.  The

will get the job done.  $16.00

Millers Falls No 3 Rogers Patent Timberframer T-Auger Handle. Measuring
16" long and this weighs 1 lb 4 1/4 oz unboxed.  George E. Rogers of
Greenfield, MA was granted Pat. No. 484,050 on Oct. 11, 1892 for the
design of this tool.  This isn't signed, but few of these were.  This is
in reasonably good condition and was cleaned and the head refinished. 
The jaws are good.  The nut works and the threads were oiled.  The oak
handles have some stains and dings, a few of them deep, but they are
solid and on tight.  This ain't pristine, but it's a solid tool that
will get the job done.  $45.00

oz unboxed.  Henry V. Smith of Hartford, CT was granted Pat. No. 542,448
on July 9, 1895 for the original design of the chuck used on this tool. 
This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The plating on the arms
and chuck is pretty much gone and there is some overall light frosting,
but nothing too bad patina wise.  The Sampson chuck, which takes both
round shaft and square tang bits is good.  The ratchet works in both
directions and the locked position.  The grip and pad look to be
rosewood.  They both have some dings, but spin freely.  This ain't
pristine, but it's a solid and heavy duty tool that will get the job
done.  $45.00

nothing too bad.  The chuck and jaws are good, but this model never had
a spring on the jaws.  The ratchet works in both directions and the
locked position.  The wood grip and pad have almost all of the original
finish.  There are a few dings and bits of paint, but both spin freely. 
This ain't pristine, but it will get the job done.  $24.00

Early Hand Forged Slater Slate Roofing Hammer.  Measuring 13 1/8"
overall, the head is 7 9/16" long, the face is 5/8" in diameter, and
this weighs 1 lb 6 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in
decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some overall roughness left
over from when this was made along with some bits of pitting and some
user added score lines.  The face has some dings, a couple of tiny chips
around the edge, and the start of some mushrooming.  The punch tip was
dressed recently and will need some fine tuning.  This guy never had
nail claws.  The breaking edge on the shaft is good.  The wood handle
does have a couple of checks, but it's on tight.  The nut at the end
does turn.  This ain't minty, but it does have some history to it to say
the least.  $32.00

distance, but the screw holding the jaw to the body, does not turn. 
This ain't minty, but these guys are sure getting few and very far
between, and they ain't cheap when you do find one.  Just saying.  $65.00

overall, the head is 5 5/8" long, the face is 7/16" in diameter, the
peen is 5/16" in diameter, and this weighs 10 1/4 oz unboxed.  This is

wise.  The magnetic peen still has lots of stick to it.  The handle is
original to the tool.  That has almost all of the original finish plus a
coat of wax.  The head wiggles a hair, but does no come off.  This ain't
pristine, but it will get the job done.  $23.00

bit of chipping on the top.  The cross hatching on the faces is also
good and they close up tight and flush.  The screw is good and the nut
travels the full distance. The spring has lots of spring left to it.

Lufkin No 8 Machinist Combination Square Ruler Clamp.  This weighs 2 oz

nothing much patina wise to fuss about other than the initials on the

guys.  $18.00

Hand Forged Blacksmith Straight Peen Head.  Measuring 4 7/8" long, the
face is 1 1/4" square, the peen is 1 3/8" high, about 1/4" wide, and
this weighs 1 lb 12 1/2 oz unboxed.  This has a mark, looks like 113,
but I can't say for sure,  I'm thinking that this was a hot cut chisel
head originally, but the last guy or 3 were using this has a hammer. 
This is in fair condition and was cleaned.  There there is some overall
pitting and patina.  The face has some dings, wear, and mushrooming. 
The peen has some chipping on the sides and at the one end.  The punched
eye also has some chipping on the one side and a little crusty on the
inside.  This ain't pretty or perfect, but it will get the job done.  $18.00

they weigh 12 1/2 oz unboxed.  The one is marked Pat Pend, the other has
a patent number, but I can't find that anywhere.  These are in decent
condition and were not cleaned.  Both of them have some wear to the
finish and some light patina, but nothing too bad.  All of the edges are
fairly good.  These ain't minty, but they are a lot less common than the
Stanley ones, at least in my travels.  $18.00

condition and was cleaned.  There are few light spots of patina on the
chuck area, but nothing too bad.  The shaft has some staining and some
light pitting down by the shaft.  The chuck works and was oiled (I put a
bit in it).  This ain't minty, but it will allow you to stick yer bit
deeper than you ever could have imagined.  Just saying.  $19.00

is good save for some light scuffs.  There are some dings on the sides. 
The edge will need some work.  The top has some frosting and staining. 
The socket does have some deep dings or what have you on the sides.  The
handle looks to be original.  That has some stains and wear to the end
leather washer, but it's solid. I did not have it off of the tool.  This

Millers Falls No 4 T-Auger Handle.  Measuring 15 1/8" long and this
weighs 2 lbs 13 1/4 oz unboxed.  This isn't signed, but few of these
were.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The finish on the
chuck and head area is worn.  The chuck and jaws are good and the
ratchet works in both directions and the locked position.  The fixed
handle has a poorly done hanging hole.  The spinning section on the
removable handle doesn't turn and was probably glued on at some point. 
The handle does remove and works in both holes.  This guy ain't pretty
or perfect, but it will get the job done.  $45.00

good condition and was cleaned.  There are a few small spots of light

is pretty much gone.  The insides have some scratch marks from the

and the side pin is present.  This ain't minty, by any stretch, but
these smaller rules are sure getting few and far between.  $14.00
