Excellent Irwin Auger Bit Set in Swing-Out Case
$95 New Item This Week
This is a full set of 13 Irwin bits in the original case. The case has a hinged top which holds bits 4-11 and a swing-out bottom drawer which holds bits 12-16. The box has an intact inner label. The bits are all in good, usable condition. The lead screws, spurs, and cutters are all usable and free of damage. Most importantly, they are all sharpened properly. All but the no. 8 is original to the set. The box is in very good condition with good hinges and hasps.These will cut effectively in any sort of wood, hard or soft, wet or dry. The single coarse lead screw cuts slower than the typical Russell Jennings double screw, but it resists stripping and clogging. A good, usable set of general purpose bits. $95
Interesting "Imperial Blue" 26in Rip Saw
$50 New Item This Week
This is a 28in 5 point rip saw with an elaborate eagle motif etch with the model name "Imperial Blue". The saw plate was originally blued, some of which still remains. This saw is shown in the Disston catalogs. It has a clean, straight plate. The teeth are all in great shape, just in need of a light filing. The handle looks like cherry.

Early JW Mix 8in Drawknife
$25 New Item This Week
Mix is an interesting maker and not enough is known about them considering how many of them we find today. I know for certain that Mix had a factory in Yalesville, CT which is a part of Wallingford. JW Mix is documented as the father of GI Mix. JW is also documented as making bayonets in Yalesville in the early 19th century. This example is in excellent condition and definitely well-used. There is still a good amount of tool steel left in the blade left before the lamination line. The handles are excellent. The bevel is surprisingly sharp and free of damage. An interesting, early American edge tool $25

$28
This drawknife was made by Peck, Stow, and Wilcox in Southington, CT. It has folding handles which can be folded in for storage or all the way back around for ease of grinding and honing. The blade has a chip you can clearly see in the photos. Other than the chip, it's in great shape.. no pitting and plenty of life left. If I were to put it to use, I'd ignore the chip and work around that area. I don't think it's worth grinding out. It's a solid worker, not a collectible. $28
Very Unusual Left-Handed 3/8in Side Bead Molding Plane
$28
Early Matched Pair of Moseley & Son Torus Bead Molding Planes
$60
These planes were made in London by Moseley & Son between 1819-1830. They are absolutely top quality planes with exceptional fit and finish, as expected from a Moseley plane from this era.

Both planes have cabinet pitch blades for use in difficult hardwoods. The blades are both perfectly clean. They both match perfectly with identical owner's marks. An outstanding pair of planes in top condition $60
Outstanding Large Greenslade 1in Side Bead Molding Plane
$26
Moseley 1/2in Slipped Side Bead Molding Plane
$28
This is a slipped side bead- there is a small slip along the escapement side which can be removed to allow the plane to cut a deeper bead or work alongside another molding element in a built-up profile. It's not something you are likely to use, but it's the hallmark of a top quality British plane. This example in very good condition and of the best quality. It was made by Moseley in London in the mid-19th century. It has has some light wear from use but remains very sharp, ready to work. It's a useful medium size.

Unusual Greenfield FencedReverse Ogee Molding Plane
$28
This is an odd one- it's original as far as I can tell- if the profile was modified we'd note that the mouth was open more than expected where the profile was changed. It's stamped with the model number 368 which does not appear in the Greenfield catalogs I have in my library. This one has an even, tight mouth all around. It has an applied fence which could be a later addition. The reverse ogee profile is very unusually implemented with no boxing or depth stop. It remains in very good condition, definitely usable $28
British 1/2in Slipped Side Bead Molding Plane
$25
This plane has an exceptionally light maker's mark I can't hope to read. It's definitely British based on the design- no American makers that I know of made slipped side beads like this. There is a removable "slip" of wood on the escapement side that allows the plane to work to a lower depth than usual or against another molding profile element. It's not something I'd expect anyone to use, but it is a sign of a top-end plane. this example remains in excellent condition, perfectly usable. $25
Buck 1/4in Butt Chisel
$22
This chisel is originally this length- measuring a bit under 8in long overall. It has its original handle which matches the chisels small stature. It remains in very good condition. The back has specks of pitting but the area near the bevel is lapped flat and clean. A top quality American edge tool $22
Stout 3/4in Socket Framing Chisel
$30
This is an early-looking laminated framing chisel measuring 13.5in long overall. I can't see a maker's mark on it. The handle has some wear from use but is still usable thanks to the metal hoop. The back of the chisel has some pitting but the area nearest the bevel is lapped flat and clean. It needs a bevel grind and hone and it will be working once again. $30
Stanley SW Era no. 945 8in Ratchet Bit Brace
$20
Early Leach Patent Saw Set
$15
This sawset was patented Jan 19. 1869 by Samuel Leach and made in Boston, MA. It's an early patent, but not terribly rare. This example is in good working order. The plunger is free of wear and is thin enough to work fine saws. $15

Rare Millers Falls Wagon Wrench
$30
This wrench was shown in the 1904 catalog "B". See photos. I do not see it listed in any other Millers Falls catalog I have access to. Based on what I've seen them sell for, it's a fairly rare and desirable wrench among collectors apparently. This one is in good condition with maybe 50% original nickel. It works perfectly. $30

$15
Excellent Reid Patent Lightening Brace
$22
This spiral push brace was patented Dec 12, 1882 by AH Reid and made in Philadelphia, PA. This one is in especially nice condition with near perfect nickel plating. Reid used especially nice lignum on the heads of these tools. This is a great example with a nice contrasting sapwood streak. An excellent example of this usable tool. $22
Sargent Ephemera Lot
$25
A lot of Sargent related collectibles I've accumulated. The collection includes: An unused postcard featuring a view of the New Haven, CT factory.

A small pin of a Sargent-marked meat grinder along with a copy of an advert featuring the same, and an original Steel Squares catalog. $25

Rare, Worrall 1856 Patent Adjustable Hand Plane
$175
This plane is a true "transitional" plane, a wooden plane fitted with metallic adjusting parts marking the transition between wooden bench planes and metallic bench planes. This plane was made by Copeland & Co in Huntington, MA. It has Worrall's May 27, 1856 patent date stamped on the toe which describes a clamp used to secure the cutter. It also incorporates Worrall's Dec 23, 1856 patent design for a rack and pinion mechanism to adjust the blade depth. The plane has all of its original parts including the unique blade and cap iron. The body has some wear from use and an old injury to the top of the horn. The adjusting mechanism itself is still operable, though this isn't a plane you'd put to use. It's an rare example of early advances in American plane technology. $175
