Tools for Sale

This tool handle is marked with Wright's Aug 12, 1884 patent date on the chuck. These were sold by Sargent, the New Haven, CT hardware dealer. This one has a good cocobolo do complete with 9 original tools including gimlets, awls, a chisel, etc. The two jaw chuck willl also hold just about anything with a tapered square shank such as files and rasps. It has some nickel loss around the chuck, the only real flaw. $26

This drawknife has a 13in blade and measures 17in long overall. It's clearly hand-forged and marked with a "CBP" touchmark. The handles are decent, though not great. The blade has a ding and some bits of pitting. It's clearly quite early and could be restored to use $20

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. $30

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. $15

This is a good, clean example in perfect working order. It comes with its original box which is in fair condition. There is damage to the corners but the label is clear. $20

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" $20

This isn't a traditional hand tool, but it has its uses in the shop. It is in new condition in its original packaging with all the original parts. Retail price is around $70. $50

This is a nice example with a clean blade, free of pitting on the back. It has plenty of life left in the blade. It has a faint maker's mark I believe reads West Brothers. There are some clear forge-welding marks which tells me it's on the earlier side. The only flaw is that the right handle is loose, but it's not too bad. Still a fine worker in an unusual small size $40

This knob and tote set was made by Bill Rittner over at Hardware City Tools in New Britain, CT. These are made of Padauk and sized for any plane no. 5 or bigger. It has the hole for the front screw in the tote for reference. These are new, unused, and sell for $70 new. $55

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
