Stanley Millers Patent # 41 Rabbet and Fillister PlaneStanley Millers Patent # 41 Rabbet and Fillister Plane  This # 41 is OK but needs some restoration work performed.    First off it needs a handle as can be seen.  The body is OK, but there is hardly any original finish left and although it looks good as is, it will look better with a japanning.  The skate is lightly pitted but you can make out the logo there.  The fillister bed is OK and the nicker is there, but short..  It has light pitting on the sole as well.  The wrap around fence is OK.  Again there is little finish, but no breaks or damage.  The outside fence does have a crack along the fence and is missing both of its screws.  It is a project plane that has potential.

Stanley Millers Patent # 41 Rabbet and Fillister PlaneStanley #41 Millers Patent Plow Plane w/ Fillister and Cutters Here is a very nice example of this increasingly popular and difficult to find plane.  It merely needs a careful light cleaning to make it a showpiece.  The handle is nice, as is the finish on the body.  The wood is good and the patent info on it is clear and strong.  The brass parts have a nice patina, have not been rounded or otherwise abused, and the knurling is all nice.  The skate is not pitted to speak of, and exhibits a nice patina as well.  Included are both the outside fence and the wrap around iron inner fence.  The very hard to find fillister bed is here as well, although it is missing one of the mounting screws and the nicker.  The pictures show only seven cutters, but there are 8 as I left the 1/8" laying on the table and it is included.  There are two different depth stops, one being the heavy brass one up front and the rear one is the steel version.  It does need two replacement screws for the fence, but these are available these days at a reasonable expense.   A great piece to add to the collection high up on the shelf.

Stanley Millers Patent Gunmetal # 42  Rabbet and Fillister PlaneStanley #42 Type 4 Millers Patent Plow Plane  The Stanley #42 Combination Plow and Fillister plane is one of the most graphically good looking and sought after of all manufactured woodworking planes that was ever produced.  First introduced in 1870 this prime example exhibits traits that indicate that it is a Type 3A or 4 and dates from about 1875 or 1876.   It is just slightly later than the other example of a #42 plane that I have listed above.   It is also in slightly nicer condition as evidenced by the very nice original finish Rosewood long horn handle and lack of any appreciable pitting or corrosion on the skate or fillister bed.   The wrap around fence is super and fits perfectly.  All screws are nice and show just normal amounts of wear.  These beautiful and graphic planes with their gunmetal (bronze) bodies, and superb looks and design are a testament to the craftsmanship and taste of our early toolmakers and to those craftsmen who used them and the work that they turned out.   This is one of the nicer examples of this very beautiful and highly desirable and collectible planes that I have ever had the pleasure to offer.  A winner that belongs on the top shelf of every serious tool collection.

Stanley # 45 Rabbet and Plow PlaneStanley #45 Combination Plow Plane  This Stanley #45 is one of those where the cutters are in a sweetheart box, and the box and plane are marked a bit  later.  This is typical.   This one has a few minor spots of corrosion, but like many from this era, saw little if any use. The #18 1/2 cutter is missing, but the rest is all here, as are the slitter, cam, short and long rods, etc.    Overall it looks great.  No instructions.

Stanley # 45 Multi PlaneStanley # 45 Multi Plane  This Stanley #45 Combination plane looks to have never been used.  The box on the other hand went through some rough times, and at some point got wet.  The top is in pieces, and there is some minor rust pitting on some of the small parts from that.  The rest of the plane is in excellent condition.  It has all the parts including the screw driver and original instruction pamphlet .  The cutters are in fine condition and have never been sharpened or needed it.  The box for them is nice, and has the Sweetheart logo.  I shoot pics of both sides of the fence and there is no wear at all to the Rosewood strip.  This plane will be a great user, or will display nicely.  They are getting tough to find in this condition.

Stanley #45 Plane 7 Planes in OneStanley # 45 Multi Plane  This is the nicest #45 I have had or seen in years. The plane is near mint w/ close to 100% of the nickel. It shows no signs of use.  There is a Christmas sticker in the bottom of the box indicating this was given as a gift by an aunt to her nephew during the depression.  Think about that for a moment.  How many of your aunts have given you something this nice ----ever.   This was given as a gift, never used, and is ready to be re-gifted if you will.  Only you are paying for it.  The outer box super.   It is an early Sweetheart dating it form the 20's.  The cutters are mint, never been used or ground and all here.

Stanley #45 Combination Plow Plane in Green BoxStanley #45 Combination Plow Plane in Green Box  Stanley #45's are a dime a dozen and readily available.  Finding one this early in its original box is a rare occasion.  This is a different situation and few # 45's combination planes are known in their original boxes from this early or this period.  This is approx. a type 4 and dates from the period from 1890-1892 when Stanley first began to nickel plate this line of planes.  It appears it sat on a shelf for 100 or so years as the cutters show no evidence of ever having been used.  A rare piece to find in the box!!

Stanley #55 PlaneStanley #55 Combination Plow Plane in Original Box   This is the nicest example of one of these that I have had in 15 years.  It has only been removed from the brown waxed paper to inspect the parts.  It is truly mint, and I doubt it has ever touched a blade to wood.  It is one of the last models produced by Stanley before they finally ended production of this plane in the 60"s.  Sometimes these unused planes exhibit rust or problems from improper storage, but that is not the case here.  This plane is dead mint with 100% shinny Nickel plating everywhere.  The cutters are bright and shinny as well..  The box is nice as well noting the area of the label missing on the front.   Mint Stanley #55 Plane

I do not believe that you will ever see a nicer example, so if you have the right place to store it and are looking for a collector quality top shelf example of a 55 plane, look no further.

tanley Millers Patent #44 Plow PlaneStanley Millers Patent #44 Plow Plane   The Stanley Millers Patent line of  Combination Plow and Fillister planes is one of the most graphic, good looking, and sought after of all patented manufactured woodworking planes.  First introduced in 1870 this line of planes was offered by Stanley for less than 30 years before being phased out in favor of the more popular and versatile Stanley #45 / 55 series of planes.  

This is a #44 Gunmetal or Bronze plow plane.  It is proper the way it is shown with its straight bronze fence.  The #42 Plow would have a Fillister Bed, and the bronze wrap around fence.  These planes originally came with 9 cutters, but are usually only found with 1 cutter as this one has.   The condition is very nice with no pitting or rust.  Note the bold and clear name stamp on the skate.  The one apology would be the roughness on the top of the tote.   This is one of the nicer examples of this very beautiful and highly desirable and collectible planes that I have ever had the pleasure to offer.  A winner that belongs on the top shelf of every serious tool collection.

Stanley # A45 Aluminum Multi PlaneStanley # A45 Aluminum Multi Plane  This is by far the rarest of all Stanley combination planes.   The aluminum # A45 was made for about 20 years from 1915 - 1925.   Very few were made during that period and fewer have survived.  This example is in nice condition and the owner / collector documented its entire history or provenance on the attached tag.   He got it in a trade back in the 80's and had to give up quite a pile of other old tools to add this to his collection.

The overall condition is very nice, and there is little signs of use or abuse.  The cutters are nice, have never been ground and all here in their original and proper boxes.   It has both fences and both sets of rods and the rare aluminum cam that came with the second generation model of this plane.  The outer wooden box is a craftsman made representation of an original.  A rare plane!!
