Stanley #40 Scrub Plane  This is the nicest example of Stanley's popular and versatile scrub plane that I have ever had.  Note the decal on the handle in the second picture.  This one is equipped with the optional straight cutter.  No problems, and no disappointments here!

Excellent ........ $95.00       SOLD

Stanley # 48 T & G Tongue & Groove Plane  This an early example that would be referred to as a Type 1  It cuts a 5/16ths groove and can be used on boards from 3/4" to 1 1/4.  These early #48's were japanned, and this one is missing a lot of the original finish, but is not rusted or pitted.   To use you cut the tongue, and then swing the fence to cut the groove.  The cutters are nice.  It will make a good user. 

Good +  . . . . . $75.00        SOLD!

Stanley #96 Chisel Plane  This is the interesting 1/4" chisel plane that Stanley first introduced back in 1888.   This version dates from just after the turn of the century with Stanley in block letters on one side.  There is pitting on that side, and half of the name has disappeared, but the plane itself is still OK, and this will make for a good user.  The idea was you could peel up a sliver of wood, set a small nail or screw, and then glue the sliver back down for an invisible connection.  They did think and do things differently back then. 

Good . . . . . .  $55.00    SOLD!!

Stanley #147 Double Tongue and Groove  This example must date from during the Second World War and right near the end of its production given the unusual finish scheme of partial japanning and partial nickeled finish.   The tops of the handles were nickeled, but most of this has flaked off.  The skate and up to the side of the base is also nickeled and this has about 85% remaining.  There is no casting damage or rust or pitting.  One cutter is original and the groove cutter is from a 45.  Different and Nice!

Good +........ $225.00       SOLD

Stanley # 378 Weatherstrip Plane  This unusual special use weatherstriping plane is in unused mint condition.  The box is near perfect as well.  The rods which are often missing are present.  There is one cutter and 3 depth stops.  Very nice!!

Good +........ $295.00       SOLD

Stanley # 51 /52 Shoot Board Plane  A nice example of a hard to find plane.   

Good +........ $1295.00       SOLD

Stanley Second Model  # 113 Compass Plane  This 113 has the nickel wheel w/ 4 holes.  It is just a little dirty and has seen little use.   It is fully functional and pretty nice overall.  Everything is tight and proper and overall it is much nicer than the one above condition wise.  These early versions are much harder to find than the later ones.     

Good . . . . . $150.00          SOLD!

Stanley # 113 Compass Plane  The 113 is a very versitle and well known plane.  This example is ready to go and in nice condition.   Very nice!!

Good +........ $195.00       SOLD

Stanley # 340 Furring PlaneThe # 340 Furring Plane  is one of  the rarest & most unusual  planes that Stanley ever produced, and this example is in super overall condition.  These furring planes were only produced for a short 12 year span (1905-1917) which was during Stanley's period of near total dominance of the metallic plane and woodworking tool market.  They were continually developing  and introducing many of the rare and unusual specialty planes during this period, which was their heyday period of plane manufacture and development.  It was the coming of the new-fangled electrical period and the start of the 1st World War that put an end to this period in Stanley's colorful history, not a lack of ideas, or quality, or dissatisfaction on their customers part.   It was just a new era after the war, and they were compelled to change with it, or fall behind, thus resulting in the short manufacturing period of some very rare planes that they had developed. This example retains nearly 90% of its original but thin black japanned finish, even on the sole, and it is rust or pit free on the exposed metal surfaces.  The cutter is 5.5 inches long, and is stamped Patent Ap'd For, along with the Stanley J Trademark Logo, thus making it a Type 1 and dating its manufacture to between 1905 - 1910.  The proper beech handle and knob are in super condition also.  These rare planes are not offered up very often, so if you have an empty hole on the shelf this one will work nicely!!

Excellent / Fine........ $995.00       SOLD

Stanley # 97 Cabinet Makers Chisel Plane   According to the book, this plane has the wrong cap.  But given where I found it and the circumstances surrounding the purchase, I find it hard to imagine how that came to be.  It is certain that no one did it purposely and the fact that the cap is japanned leads me to believe that it may be proper.  I believe that the prototype model that was offered up at Browns auction a while back was also fitted with a similar cap.  In any case the rest of the plane is in superior condition, retains nearly all of its original finish and has just a nice even patina on the exposed metal parts.  The front corners are proper and there is plenty of cutter left as well.  Different and Nice!!

Good........ $495.00       SOLD

Stanley #62 Low Angle Cabinet Makers Plane This is the nicest example of Stanley's popular and versatile low angle cabinet makers plane that I have had in a long time.  Note the condition of the rosewood handle.  The throat area which is oftentimes damaged is perfect.  The japanning is near perfect.  The front knob does not have any problems and still retains its original finish.  This plane was not used more than a couple of times.  The condition is second to none and a nicer example will not be found easily.

Good +........ $495.00       SOLD

Stanley #164 Plane  This plane is in pretty nice condition.  It is considered one the the hardest to find of all planes that Stanley produced.  They were introduced in 1926 and production ended with the beginning of the war.  Some have speculated that there was only one production run and then this supply was offered over the next 20 or so years.  The adjusting mechanism is vertical and very tricky to get to operate, a factor that probably held back sales and plays a factor in its limited availability and super rarity. The cutter on this one is the rectangular block, thus dating it from near the end of the offering.  The handle has a tight hairline in it that I do not think has been glued, but it is still stable. The front knob is nice, but there is a small chip in the boss where the rod screws into the moveable throat piece.  This area still works properly but there is a relief at this point.   The japanning is well over 95% and looks good.  The sides are nice, and there is very light pitting or texture on the sole. This would lap out easily if so desired.

Good +........ $1695.00       SOLD

Stanley # 144 3/8" Corner Rounding Plane  This plane is in very nice condition and there is little sign of use.  It still retains most of its japanned finish, and there is no rust or pitting to speak of.   The size designation is clearly stamped in the bottom as well.  Ready for the bench or shelf!

Good........ $295.00       SOLD

3 Stanley #144 Corner Rounding Planes   All three of theses are a different size and reperesent the 3 sizes offered.     The size designation is clearly stamped in the bottom as well.  Ready for the bench or shelf!

Good........ $295.00 /  Choice       SOLD

Stanley # 56 Core Box Plane   This is a super condition and very desirable example of one of Stanley's rarest and hard to find planes that they produced.  This planes patent was taken out in 1909, and Stanley offered for sale the same year.  It was only offered until 1923 when stocks produced before the War ran out and no more were made.  It is a rare plane.  This example still sports 95% or more of the original japanning.  The exposed faces are very nice with just some spotting and no pitting or rust.  It is one of the nicest of these that I have had over the years.

Fine........ $1295.00       SOLD

Stanley # 57 Core Box Plane w/ Aux Wings   This one looks to have been assembled over a period of time.  It is all origial parts and correct, it is just that the patina of the wings is different. 

Fine........ $695.00       SOLD

Stanley # 71 Router Plane w/ Original Box   This one is like new.  The nickel is bright, and it has the guide and 3 cutters

Stanley #L20-83E-HFL Shuttle Plane  This unusual Stanley Shuttle Plane is in nice original condition.  These planes were used in the textile industry to shape or size shuttles in industrial settings.  They were never offered in the standard catalogs and were a specialty item produced for this specific industry.  There are a few different variations known, and most are found like this with no parts of the frame or track that it ran in.    At first glance these could be mistaken for a Bedrock with the flat top side rails, but they are that way to attach the missing frame to.  The tags indicate that the collector bought this from Roger Smith in 1991.  A nice example of a hard to find plane.

Good + . . . . . . $795.00           SOLD!

Stanley # 444 Dovetail Plane  The Stanley #444 dovetail plane is one of the oddest planes made by Stanley.  It was offered for a little over 25 years beginning in 1912. This example is in its original box, but appears to have had some restoration work done on it.  It appears to have been chrome plated at some point, and I believe the spur blocks are recast replacements.  I do not see any damage, welds, or pitting, but it has been worked over.  The box of cutters is present, with 3 in it, and 1 in the plane making for a full set.  The instruction on the lid are readable and there is an instruction pamphlet. 

Good . . . . . .   $650.00        SALE PRICE  . . . . . $495.00         SOLD!!

Stanley # 113 Compass Plane  The 113 is one of the best known, and easily recognizable of all Stanley special use planes.  The sole of this compass plane can be adjusted to a convex or concave curve with a simple turn of the front knob.  This example is from near the turn of the century and has a lateral adjuster that earlier versions did not.  It has a nice even patina, and shows some signs of use, but not abuse, and is ready to be put back into use.  A nice example.

Good + . . . . . $125.00

Stanley #171 Door Plane & Router w/ Original Fence & Rods   This nice example is basically damage free other than some missing japanning and some staining on the sole.   It still retains approx 90% or more of the original finish. The wood is nice and original.    These are one of the most unusual of all special use planes that Stanley produced, but its usefulness ran into the electric router and its production period was short lived.  There are two original cutters included, with  the 5/8" missing.

Good........ $345.00       SOLD
