This monster of a framing chisel is 3in wide with a short, stout handle. This is not a slick- this is a heavy duty chisel meant to be used with a mallet. IT's clearly hand-forged. It's marked D.

There is a spot of pitting at the extreme right corner of the blade right at the bevel. Not an ideal location, but there's still a lot of good, usable steel here. It's quite the chisel, one of the most interesting I've come across in a long time. $60

This plane is a type 2/3 made right around 1869 or 1870 based on the type study. It was found as-is and appears to be all original. It has the following features: The adjusting nut is solid brass and of two piece construction. It is marked with Bailey, Boston Patented Aug 13, 1858, Aug 6, 1867. It's clearly shown where the "Woods" was removed as per the type study. The lever cap has a solid back with a rectangular spring. The blade is stamped with L.Bailey's Patent Dec 24, 1867. The front is marked with the Stanley eagle logo without a model number. The front knob is not the earliest "mushroom" design but the slightly later rounder, beaded design. These hallmarks tell me the plane was made in Boston by Bailey, and marked and sold by Stanley. The plane is in very good condition overall. It has some light wear but no real damage. It's the earliest Bailey plane I've had the luck to come across. It's a great opportunity for a collector- this one isn't a worker. $95

11.5in long overall Very good condition with a good handle and no pitting on the back. Needs a quick grind and hone to get it working well. A good usable example by one of the top American makers of the era. $24
