Large, Excellent Reverse Ogee Molding Plane
$35
This plane has no mark I can read. Based on the wedge style it was made by Sandusky. It cuts a 1 1/2in wide by 1in deep reverse ogee. It's in excellent condition, barely used, if at all. The blade is especially clean. There is a crack in the very end of the thinnest part of the blade but it's not actually a problem. The part of the blade with the crack is buried in the non-escapement side of the plane when it's being used. Not perfect, but pretty close to it. $35
Exceptional, Curvy Quirk Ogee and Bevel Molding Plane
$45
This is a beautiful example of the classic quirk ogee and bevel molding profile. It's 1 1/2in wide and 3/4in deep with a curvier than usual ogee. This one was made by ZJ McMaster who used prison labor to make planes between 1839-1847. This is a beautifully made plane in excellent condition. It has perfect boxing, no wear, and a long, clean blade that looks unused. It's an outstanding example of this very popular profile. $45
Exceptional Large Quirk Ogee Molding Plane
$50
This is a high quality plane made by A&E Baldwin in New York between 1830-41. The plane is in exceptional condition and shows no wear. It cuts a quirk ogee 2in wide and 1in deep. There aren't even any hammer marks on the heel. The blade is perfect, virtually factory-new. Best of all it matches the sole especially well which is a boon for a plane this wide. It's absolutely usable, and a lovely larger profiel. $50
Scarce Stanley "Four Square" Panel Saw
$45
This saw was made for Stanley and sold with their no. 861 Four Square tool cabinet. Because this saw was offered only as part of this specific tool chest4, it's pretty hard to find. This is a 24in 8ppi crosscut panel saw. The plate has some discoloration, but the etch is visible, and it's dead straight. The teeth are good but not sharp. The handle is excellent and has a partial decal. It would be a good saw to use or add to a tool chest. $45

This plane cuts a 1 3/4in wide by 1in deep ogee. It was made by H.L. Naramore in Cummingotn, MA between 1865-1872. It's a good-looking plane with a decent blade but the mouth is opened up, presumably intentionally. It's not ideal, for sure, but it could still be usable, and it's a nicer larger profile. $22
Erly Stanley no. 102 Pocket Block Plane
$15
Disston Dehorning Saw
$24
Excellent 1 1/2in Reverse Ogee and Fillet Molding Plane
$45
This plane was made for BB & WR Noyes, a Detroit, MI hardware dealer operating from 1850-1869. It was almost certainly made by Ohio Tool Co. It cuts a 1 1/2in wide by 3/4in deep reverse ogee with a small fillet. It has little wear and remains in excellent working condition. It has a long blade which is free of pitting. Best of all the blade matches the profile exactly so it won't take a lot of effort to get this plane tuned and working. A fine working example $45

$28
This is a high quality plane made by Greenslade. It cuts a 1/2in wide by 1/4in deep flat ovolo. The plane has light wear. the blade is decent- the back is clean but it needs the usual tuning to get it into working condition. It's a decent, usable plane that cuts a very useful profile $28

The handles fold in for storage and can folded back 180 degrees to make grinding and honing easier. It's marked with Young's July 16, 1895 patent date $45
Excellent Stanley no. 8C Jointer Plane

Simonds no. 10 1/2 Panel Rip Saw
$55
This is a 24in no. 10 1/2 made by Simonds in Fitchburg, MA. It has a straight plate and decent teeth. It does cut and does well in softwoods. It could definitely use a filing if you want it to be perfectly sharp. The teeth are decent- not perfect. The etch is clear. The nib is missing. The handle is excellent. It's a rare panel rip, the one so many people want, but are hard to find. It's not perfect but with a little work it will be a great worker $55
Rare Disston D8 Thumbhole Crosscut Saw
$115
Disston did offer the thumbhole handle on crosscut saws. I've seen a few of them over the years, but they are definitely rare. Thinking about it, the handle makes sense on a crosscut saw. Breaking down a wide, thick board can be a long operation, and the thumbhole handle is definitely easier to use for long periods. This one is even more unusual in that it's 7 1/2ppi as measured and marked. This is an early example with all five 1870s patent dates on the handle and the 1876-1887 medallion. The plate is dead straight and especially clean. The teeth are in great shape and quite sharp. The handle has an owner's name "James" carved on it, but it's otherwise perfect. It's an outstanding saw overall that will be an awesome worker. $115
Exceptional and Rare Richardson 28in no. 102 Rip Handsaw
$95
This saw was made by Richardson in Newark, NY. It's a no. 102, a middle-line saw marked with their Newark Saw Co. brand name. The blade is especially clean and has a bold, crisp etch. The plate is massive- 28in long and 3in deep. It has 5ppi rip. The teeth are in great shape but need a quick filing. The handle is perfect. It's a fantastic saw that would be both a great worker as well as a nice addition to a Richardson collector. $95
E. Preston 8in Bench Level
$26
22in "Fast Mail" Panel Saw
$50
This saw was made for the Norvell-Shapleigh Hardware Co. of St. Louis, MO. It has an elaborate etch of a train on the plate and the "Fast Mail" logo. the plate is dead straight, 9ppi crosscut, and decently sharp. The handle is perfect.

12in Kimball Drawknife
$55
This is an earlier example based on the mark and construction of the blade. CJ Kimball made drawknives in Milford, NH has early as 1841 and the company continued until at least 1900. This is an excellent working example. The handles are perfect- no damage or rotation. The back of the blade has some small areas of minute pitting. The bevel is sharp. It's in better condition than the majority I come across. This one will be an excellent worker. $55
Starrett no. 575 Screw Thread Micrometer
$45
Starrett C493B Protractor
$50
Starrett no. 237 Depth Gauge
$30
DR Barton 3in Slick
$215
This is a true slick. It was made by DR Barton in Rochester, NY. Including the handle it measures 27in long overall. It has a thin blade with an upward-sloping socket so it can be used flat without the handle hitting the work. The handle appears to be original. It does have a small well-done glue repair to a crack at the end. The blade is in great shape. The back has been lapped flat and clean. A great example to put to use- better than the vast majority of slicks I usually see. $215

Auburn 3/16in Side Bead Molding Plane
$30
Auburn planes are all over the place in terms of quality. This is one of the better examples I've seen. It's seen barely any use. the corners and edges are sharp and crisp. The blade is perfect. There's no warp to the boxing at all.The only flaw is a small chip in the boxing at the heel of the plane, a common flaw due to an errant mallet strike. It's a perfect working example in the most desirable size out there today. $30
Buck Brothers 1/8in no. 9 Sweep Tang Gouge
$28
Starrett 305R 6in Flexible Rule
$22
Interesting Koch Patent Indicator
$25
This machinists indicator was made and patented by Henry Koch of Nyack, NY. The design was patented July 17, 1906. It's an interesting concept that allows both the plunger on the front and the radiused post on the rear to be used to move the indicator needle. This would allow it to be used as a standard indicator as well as an inside indicator. The top plate slides off easily exposing the internals. It still works well. It's mounted to a lathe tool post and comes in a custom-fit box. I don't think it would replace my vintage Starrets, but it's a really interesting tool. $25

9in Brass and Rosewood Spirit Level
$26
Curvy Quirk Ogee and Bevel Molding Plane
$35
This plane cuts a more curvy than normal quirk ogee and bevel measuring 2in wide by 1 1/4in deep. It was made for M.H. Webster, a Detriot, MI hardware store which operated from 1837-1858. The plane has some wear from use but remains in very good condition overall. The blade is long and clean. If you want to put it to work it will require some work to match the blade to the sole due to the plane body shrinking with age a bit. $35
Exceptional Thos. Ibbotson 3/8in Patternmakers Gouge
$35
This is a crank-neck paring gouge with a thin blade and an inside bevel for paring work. It has a gorgeous boxwood handle. It's in absolutely top condition without a single flaw. The blade is sharp and completely clean. Ibbotson is a well-know, top-end Sheffield edge tool maker. This is a fantastic example of their work. $35

Interesting Pair of Door Hinge Levels
$15
These are door hinge levels- installed in a door hinge butt mortise to ensure it is level. They are in good shape with intact level vials. They are completely unmarked. I have on good authority that these were made by Stanley but.. as the saying goes.. "buy the tool, not the story.". Still pretty interesting! $15

Buck 9/16in Patternmakers Crank-Neck Paring Gouge

This is a top-quality American edge tool made by Buck in Millbury, MA. It is in exceptional condition with no wear, pitting or discoloration. This is the deep sweep of the three Buck offered in these tools. It's 12.5in long overall. These are very useful tools still today and not made by any modern maker at any price. $35
Stearns Jointer Fence
$45
This is an EC Stearns jointer fence made in Syracuse, NY. It clamps to the plane's side to help keep the plane at a specific angle. This isn't terribly helpful for keeping it at 90- that's pretty easy. The real use case for this is planing to an unusual angle. It's a good, usable example with light discoloration but no damage. $45
Buck Brothers 7/16in Pattermakers Paring Gouge
$35
This is a top-quality edge tool made by Buck in Millbury, MA. It's a crank-neck patternmaker's chisel with an inside bevel for paring work. The blade is especially clean, free of pitting, and has a sharp bevel. This example has the deep sweep of the three Buck offered. The fruitwood handle is in excellent condition, noting an owner's initials. It's an outstanding working example of this sort of gouge- not made by any modern maker today at any price $35

Medium Size Quirk Ogee and Bevel Molding Plane
$40
This plane was made by Arthington, a Manchester, England planemaker working in the first half of the 19th century. It cuts a 1 1/2in wide by 3/4in deep quirk ogee and bevel, which is a versatile and attractive shape with any number of uses. It has light wear from careful use. The boxing is perfect. The blade is long and clean, free of pitting. A beautiful plane that cuts a useful profile. $40

$30
This is a long, thin gouge with an inside bevel for light paring work. It was made by Greaves and Sons at the Sheaf Works in Sheffield. The back is clean with zero pitting. The handle is excellent.

$26
Starrett 272A Fillet or Radius Gauge
$22
Kelly True Temper Tommy Axe
$28
This is a well-used example complete with the claws which are frequently broken off. This example has a very light, but distinct mark. The handle is excellent. The bevel is decent with only one chip. A top quality edge tool that could be returned to working order without too much work. $28
Interesting Thumb Micrometer
$45
I made up the term "thumb micrometer" because I don't know what else to call this. It was made by the Tubular Micrometer Company (aka Tumico) which operated in St. James, MN. This is a thousandths mic with a frame clearly intended to loop around one finger with the thumb operating the knurled sleeve. There is also a large dial added to the top of the sleeve which allows the operator to easily read thousandths. I can find no others like it. $45
