The third run of tools for July (in case you are keep track, I messed up 
the subject line for the first one this month).  Got some great 
collectibles and user tools that are fresh arrivals along with some 
other items from previous lists.

PayPal is now accepted and 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!

Four Miniature Wood Molding Planes.  There is a 3/8" compass round 
measuring 2 5/16" long, a 1/4" round measuring 2 1/4" long, a 5/16" 
hollow measuring 1 3/4" long, a 3/8" compass snipe bill measuring 2 1/4" 
long, and they weigh 2 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  
These are in reasonably good condition, the only cleaning I did was on 
the faces of the irons.  The bodies are good other than some staining on 
a couple of them.  The soles and mouths are good as well.  A couple of 
the irons have some light pitting on the faces. The wedge on the snipe 
bill was replaced at some point, that's not quite a perfect fit, the 
others look to be original.  These are neat and very collectible planes 
and they are not very common at all to find.  The price on this item 
includes US Priority Mail Shipping plus insurance.  The price is firm.  
$140.00

Stanley No 2 Excelsior Tool Handle.  This weighs 4 1/2 oz unboxed.

March 19, 1867 for the design of this tool.  This is in decent condition 
and was not cleaned.  There is some wear to the finish on the body.  The 
cap is good with no cracks to the inside threaded area.  The chuck is 
also good.  This has 9 of the original bits.  A couple of them are short 
and they have a little patina.  This ain't minty but considering that 
it's at the least, 133 years old, well it sure ain't bad.  $60.00

head has some pitting on both sides but the lips are good.  The eye is 
slightly twisted and there is a small void along the forge weld line but 
it's solid.  The handle is ain't old replacement.  That has some paint

oz unboxed.  This is the same tool as a Starrett No. 289B ruler clamp.

ain't much in the way of patina overall.  Somebody put a hole in the 
body, probably to fix this to a workbench, but that won't affect this 
being used.  Both of the rule screws and tabs are good and the set 
screws on the side both turn.  This ain't minty but it will get the job 
done.  $25.00

mushrooming around the edge.  The peen has a small chip out of the
