This plane cuts a 1/2in deep by 7/8in wide ovolo profile with two fillets- not a profile I've seen before. It appears to be all original based on the patina of the sole. The blade is near-perfect. The plane itself is quite clean and free of wear. There is some light chiping in the thin boxing but nothing that will affect use. This plane was made by Enos Baldwin, an Upper New York State planemaker working in the early decades of the 19th century. Unusual and a perfectly usable. $35

This is clearly an early plane, most likely late 18th or early 19th century and probably British. The maker's name is over-stamped by a former owner so telling for sure who or when made it isn't possible. It's nice and clean with all the usual 18th century design features. The blade is decent, clean enough to be restored if you choose to put it to use. The body has little wear and a very nice honest patina. $28

This plan was made in New York by the partnership of Way & Sherman. It cus a small flat quirk ogee 1in wide by 1/2in deep. It's seen some light use but has minimal wear. The blade has a lapped flat back. It needs the usual grind to reestablish the bevel and a hone in order for it to be put to work. A solid worker. $30

This is definitely not something you see every day. It's a standard 1in wide square rabbet plane but it's a full 24in long. Whelan describes these planes as ship carpenter planes. This one was made by Tollman in Hanover, MA in the mid-19th century. Like many of Tollman's rabbet planes, this one uses a double iron. The plane has some wear from use but remains in good condition and is still usable. the blades is long and clean, the cap iron fitting well. Definitely an interesting conversation piece. $55

This plane has seen some use and has light wear but remains usable. It was made by Fairclough & Co of Liverpool between 1856-83. The blade is long and clean, free of any pitting on the back. It cuts a big 7/8in bead, good for larger house moldings. A very common size, thus the low price. $15

This is a high quality plane made by Greenslade in Bristol, England. It's seen a lot of use but remains in fine working condition. The blade is clean, the boxing straight. A perfectly usable plane in a very common size $15
