Hi! Lots of new tools this evening- close to 100 or so. Lots of stuff here including a couple of gems, some good working tools, and a few odds and ends. I hope you find something you like. Thanks for stopping by! --Josh
Two Unusual Hjorth Late and Tool Co. Tools
$24 New Item This Week
These tools were both made by the Hjorth Lathe and Tool Co. of Boston. The top tool is a "drill angle testing-gauge" as per the catalog description (thanks Ken for pointing this out!). It's marked "Patent Applied For." The second tool is a spring winder marked with a July 30, 1907 patent date. Both are in excellent condition. $24
L&IJ White 8in Coopers Drawknife
$40 New Item This Week
This drawknife was made by White in Buffalo, NY. White specialized in cooper's tools like this. It's a heavy-duty single bevel drawknife with a big thick blade. The handles are attached with simple folded tangs. The bevel is very sharp and has no dings. There is some light pitting on the back as you can see in the photos, though it certainly hasn't prevented it from being sharpened. $40
Matched Pair of 1in Handled Tongue and Groove Molding Planes
$28 New Item This Week
These planes were made by Ohio and sold under the Owasco name. They are usable, though heavily worn. The wedges appear to be replacements though the blades are long and clean. The handles have somehow survived intact and free of damage. They've acquired a nice shape from much use. These planes cut a T&G joint centered on 1in stock. Nothing exceptional at all, but they are still usable. $28
Early 1in Side Bead Molding Plane
$15 New Item This Week
5/16in Side Bead Molding Plane
$28 New Item This Week
This is a hard to find size that fits in nicely between your 1/4 and 3/8in beads, the two most desirable size for case and cabinet work. This one was made by Auburn and sold under the Owasco brand. It's a good quality plane in superb condition. It appears to have seen little, if any, use. $28
3/4in American Side Bead Molding Plane
$15 New Item This Week
This plane was made by David Benson in Albany, NY. Bensen worked on his own and in various partnerships throughout the mid-19th century. The plane has some light wear from use but is still in perfectly usable condition. It's a common size and not terribly desirable for all but large house-scale moldings, thus the low price. $15
Superb 5/8in American Side Bead Molding Plane
$26 New Item This Week
This plane was made by David Benson in Albany, NY. Bensen worked on his own and in various partnerships throughout the mid-19th century. The plane is in excellent condition showing little to no wear. It's a useful medium size bead for larger furniture moldings as well as casings, etc. $26
Superb 7/8in American Side Bead Molding Plane
$24 New Item This Week
Excellent J. Gibson 3/4in Side Bead Molding Plane
$15 New Item This Week
Gibson worked as a planemaker in Albany, NY throughout the first half of the 19th century. This is a top quality plane with double boxing. The plane body is clean and crisp. The blade has some light pitting but is still usable. The 3/4in size isn't the most popular, geared mainly towards larger house moldings, thus the low price. $15

J. Denison 7/8in Side Bead Molding Plane
$24
This is a top quality plane made by Denison in Saybrook, CT. It has a double-boxed sole with strips along both the quirk and the fence for wear resistance. It looks unused. The blade is original length and free of pitting. It's a common size scaled for larger house moldings. An excellent example to put to use $24
American 3/8in Side Bead Molding Plane
$20
This plane was made by R&L Carter in Troy, NY. It's in good condition, still usable, despite some wear. It's a useful smaller size bead ideal for case and cabinet work. It'll require some more tuning than most but there is nothing mechanically wrong with it that will prevent it from being a solid worker $20
American 1/4n Side Bead Molding Plane
$24
This plane was made for Marten Doscher, the New York based hardware dealer. It's in good condition, still usable, despite some significant wear. It's a useful smaller size that's always in high demand. It'll require some more tuning than most but there is nothing mechanically wrong with it that will prevent it from being a solid worker $24
Massive 1 1/4in Side Bead Molding Plane
$20
This plane was made by Randall & Cook in Albany, NY. It's an usually large size suited to architectural scale moldings. The tip of the blade that's bedded in the blind side of the sole is snapped off, which won't matter much as it doesn't do any of the cutting. otherwise it's in fine condition and could be used if you have the strength. An unusual size to find. $20
Early Sims, London 7/8in torus Bead Molding Plane
$26
This plane was made by Sims in the first third of the 19th century. It's a beautifully made plane with a York pitch blade for working hardwoods. The torus bead profile is essentially a slightly skewed bead. This one has a removable slip along the fence, though the screws look to have never been removed and I can't vouch for their condition should you try to remove them. As-is it's a perfectly usable plane with a nice clean blade and no damage or wear. $26

Spangenberg Patent Adjustable Bracket
$10
This device was patented Jan 30, 1906. You can read all about it here. I have no idea what you'd do with it other than claim bragging rights in your neighborhood as the only person to own a Spangenberg Patent Adjustable Bracket. $10
12in Drawknife
$24
This drawknife has seen heavy use but still has a good amount of blade left. It really needs to be reground to even out the bevel. The handles are tight though have some wear. It'll need a little more attention than most I offer, but it will be perfectly usable once it's sharpened up. It's marked "E. Broad and Son" $24
Early 10in Drawknife
$25
This is a heavily used 10in drawknfie that looks pretty early to me. There is a maker's mark I believe reads "J.M. Benner" but I can't find that mark listed anywhere. There's still a good amount of life left in the blade. The handles have a little bit of wiggle but are still tight and in no danger of coming loose. A solid worker with a lot of history to it. $25
Millers Falls no. 32 10in Ratchet Bit Brace
$20
Yankee no. 75 Push Brace
$35
This push brace was made by North Brothers in Philadelphia, PA probably before 1920 based on the patent dates. It has a two jaw chuck capable of holding almost any bit or bitstock tool with a tapered square shank. The bit is turned by pushing the pad, much like a large push drill It has a ratchet mechanism to prevent the bit from spinning backwards when the pad is pulled back. It's not something you can bore bit holes with, due to the lack of torque. It can turn small bits, gimlets, and countersinks at a rapid pace and quite effectively. It's an interesting tool that has some uses. $35
Reid Patent Lightning Brace
$25
This push brace was made by Reid in Philadelphia, PA. It has < A HREF="https://datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?number=268938&typeCode=0"> Reid's Dec 12, 1882 patent date on the shaft. This example is in excellent condition and works perfectly. The two-piece pad looks like lignum to me. It has nearly all of its original nickel plating as well as the original screwdriver bit. A nice example of this tool. $25

Keen Kutter "Chipaway" 24in Panel Saw
$45
This saw was made for E.C. Simmons and sold under the ChipAway brand, a secondary brand they sold along with Keen Kutter. The saw was likely made by Disston based on the design. It has a decently clean plate that's perfectly straight. The etch is decent. It's 9ppi crosscut. all of the teeth are in good condition just in need of a light filing. The apple handle is in exceptional condition. A perfect example to put to use. $45

BSV Co (Buckeye Saw Vise Company) Double Spokeshave
$20
This shave has both a straight and a concave sole. It's in usable condition though most of the japanning is gone. The blades are both long and clean. I have doubts about the usefulness of such a shave but there are a lot of them out there so someone must have bought them back in the day. $20
Early Disston no. 8 Handsaw
$30
This saw dates to the late 1860s based on the medallion and etch. It has a very shallow plate due to use but.. I suspect it was originally a ship saw based on the etch location. If a normal depth handsaw were used this much the etch would be half-gone by now. It has a straight plate and good teeth. The apple handle is in surprisingly excellent condition considering the amount of use it's seen. $30
26in Penn. Saw Co. Handsaw
$28
This is a Disston second-line saw likely dating to the early 1900s. It's 26in with a skew-back but without a let-in handle which looks a little odd but it's all original. It has 9ppi crosscut teeth. The teeth are in decent shape but not sharp. The plate is dead straight and has scattered light pitting. The handle is near-perfect. $28
Early American Handsaw
$35
This 26in 9 point handsaw is die-stamped and has a unique handle style. I am 99% sure the stamp is E.M. Boynton and the model no. 1. There aren't many Boynton saws out there to compare it to so I can't be absolutely positive. Boynton was an interesting character, making saws in New York City in the mid-19th century before moving on to other varied and strange endeavors. This saw has a good straight plate. The handle has damage to the tips of both horns and a good repair to a crack in the handle's loop. It's a usable saw, and an interesting example. $35
Matched Set of S.J. Addis Carving Tools
$245
This is a matched set of smaller profile gouges made by Ward and Payne in Sheffield and marked for S.J. Addis. Sizes include: 3/16in no. 3 flat gouge, 1/8in no. 8 deep straight gouge, 1/4in no. 6 straight gouge,1/8in no. 3 straight gouge, 1/4in no. 39 "wings back" V tool, 1/4in no. 11 veining tool, 1/2in no. 5 straight gouge, 3/16in no. 1 veining tool, 1/8in no. 10 deep straight gouge, 3/16in no. 11 veining tool, and a 7/16in no. 3 flat straight gouge. They are in decent shape, definitely usable. Some of them have some scattered pitting but nothing too bad. The handles are perfect. There are some very scarce sizes included in this set. I've priced them a little lower to keep the set together. If they don't sell in a few weeks I'l consider splitting them up. $245
Lee Valley 3-Jaw Bit Brace
$55
Extremely Complex Complex Molding Plane
$25
This plane cuts an ovolo, cove, and ovolo profile approximately 2in wide and 1in deep. The plane has no maker's mark but looks quite early. It has a decent amount of wear to it along with a lapped blade so it was definitely used at some point. The spring angle is extreme in order to cut this wild profile. The wedge has a damaged finial. A very unusual plane. $25
North Brothers no. 31A Yankee Spiral Ratchet Screwdriver
$25
Interesting Pair of Side Bead Molding Planes
$45
These planes are both in excellent condition. both were made by M. Crannell in Albany, NY. Both have matching "Wm. Bayle" owner's marks. Also included with the planes are the name stamps that were found with the planes. The planes are both large sizes-7/8in and 1in respectively. A great pair of planes and an interesting artifact with the owner's stamps. $45
PNTC Pattenmaker Router Plane
$250
This is an absolutely gorgeous, absolutely usable patternmaker's router plane made by the PNTC and given away as a favor to attendees of the 2002 "Best in the West" show. Only 261 of these were made and just a few have shown up in the tool market. The photos hardly do it justice. The base is made of silicon bronze, the handles and base are rosewood. The blade is tempered tool steel, absolutely usable. It's in mint condition in its original box. $250

$15
Henry Taylor no. 28 1/4in Spoon Gouge
$30
Massive 14in Drawknife
$40
This drawknife has a 14in wide blade and measures more than 24in wide overall. It's unmarked as far as I can tell. I've seen a few of these that were marked Greenlee in the past so I have to assume that's who made this one. This example has good solid handles. The blade has a lot of meat left on it. It's configured with a double bevel and is decently sharp though it could really stand a grind and hone. This is one for big folks.. I can't handle it. $40
Matched Set of Six Henry Taylor Small Carving Tools
$90
These are all excellent examples of H. Taylor tools, all with matching handles and blades. These are slightly smaller than normal, measuring 7 1/2in long overall. There is no pitting at all on any of them. all of the handles are in excellent condition as well. Sizes/profiles are: 7/16in no. 2 sweep, 3/8in no. 6 sweep, 1/4in no. 3 sweep, 1/8in no. 6 sweep, 1/4in no.2 sweep, and a 1/4in no. 4 sweep. $90

Well-Made Machinists Trammel Set
$35
This is a well-made, unmarked trammel set mounted on a 5/16in round beam. It has the usual two heads with normal points, both in excellent condition. There is a third head present with an unusual bent arm. It works just like a compass or divider, just on a potentially much larger scale. $35

1925 United Hardware & Tool Company Catalog Reprint
$20 Recently Reduced Price
80 pages, softcover, excellent condition. This is a somewhat important reference as United Hardware and Tool was a major reseller in the early 20th century. They sold many tools under the "Fulton" name brand. This brand is frequently associated with Sears but this catalog suggests at least some of these tools were sold by United instead. They sold a full line of tools of all sorts including many German wooden planes sold under the Columbia brand name. It's a somewhat hard catalog to find today, and very useufl. $20

$20
276 pages. Very Good Condition. This is a fascinating look at the tools Marples offered to British wodworkers in the early 20th century. British tool preferences tended to stay the same for a long time as evidenced by the fact that in 1909 Marples was still selling wooden braces, pit saws, and other tools we more commonly associate with 19th century woodworkers. A great reference book. $20

It also contains bench planes, plow planes, rules, layout tools, and other woodworking tools. A valuable reference book. $15

Rare Birmingham Plane Mfg. Co Hayworth Patent Bench Plane
$275
This is the infamous "faucet handle" bench plane made by the Birmingham Plane Mfg. Co. of Derby, CT (formerly called Birmingham). The design was patented Nov 7, 1893 by Oliver Hayworth. The distinctive feature is the blade adjuster which uses a spoked handle, similar to an outdoor faucet handle, rather than a wheel. This example is all original and in good condition. There is no damage to the cast pieces. The blade is original and in great shape. The sole has some light wear. The tote, which has a unique shape, is original and only has a chip out of the horn as apology. It's a very rare plane. $275

This is one of the most important saw references ever published. It includes the only known catalogs of Richardson, H.W. Peace, and Woodrough and McParlin. It also includes Wheeler Madden and Clemson's full line of saws. Circa 1890, the National Saw Company was formed and absorbed all four of these sawmakers and was eventually integrated with Disston, though the exact history is unknown to me. If you are interested in the history of handsaws this is a must-have. $30

Mathieson 7/8in Torus Bead Molding Plane
$20
This plane was made by Mathieson in Glasgow. It cuts a slightly canted bead which the catalogs describe as a Torus bead. It's clean and crisp, the only flaw being a slightly widened mouth. Still a good worker when used with compliant boards. This size is useful for larger house and architectural style moldings. $20
