This plane cuts a 1in wide by 5/8in deep quirk ogee and bevel, a useful, general-purpose profile.

This is a pre-Stanley Gage no. 4 mad in Vineland, NJ. It's the cleanest example I've seen. The wood is perfect. The finish on the knob and tote is perfect. Even the cap on the top of the tote is perfect. The metal insert in the sole is level with the rest of the sole. The blade is sharp and the plane is ready to use. An exceptional example. $90

This saw is freshly sharpened. I tested it in my shop and couldn't be happier with its performance. It will be ready to use out of the box. This saw was made by Disston for E.C. Simmons and sold under the Keen Kutter brand name. It's a top-quality saw with a beautiful apple handle and nickel-plated brass screws. The plate is as clean as they come and has a crisp, bold etch. It's 26in and 9ppi crosscut, ideal for hardwoods. A superb working handsaw $95

These planes are clearly early, likely late 18th century. That's based on the broad, flat chamfers along the hand holds, the rounded wedge finials, and the deep cove at the step. It's been through at least three owners who tried to out-compete each other with their name stamps. Whatever maker's mark was there is now obliterated. Otherwise, the planes clean and crisp. They both cut ovolos- one 1in deep and 7/8i wide, the other 7/8in deep and 3/4in wide. The mouths are perfect. The blades are long and clean. It's a nice pair of early planes, still completely usable despite the centuries. $60

This plane cuts one, or many 1/4in wide beads along the length of a board. It's run along a batten clamped to the work to keep the beads aligned and create a beautiful reed molding. This example is in excellent condition and perfectly usable. It's still dead straight and has a long, clean blade. $30
