Stanley # 1 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane  This is about the nicest Stanley #1 I have had the pleasure to offer in over 20 years.  It is flawless.  The previous owner who attended the West Coast Tool Meetings back in the heyday bought some very nice Stanley pieces, and this was his nicest buy.  It was bought it back in the 80's, and I think he tried it once before putting it in a display to never be used again.  The worst anyone could say about it is that the finish on the handle has some minor crazing.  Look at all the pics.  You will not find a nicer one offered anywhere.

Stanley #1 Smooth Plane  This Sweetheart Era #1 is in about as nice condition as one could ask for, and just look at that decal on the handle.  There is well over 95% of the original japanning remaining, and there is no rust,  pitting, casting problems or other damage  that I need to report to you.  This is a prime example of Stanley's smallest and most popular collectable smooth plane.  This example is ready to be proudly displayed on the top shelf as a highlight of the collection.  Go for it!

2 Stanley #1 Smooth Planes  The Stanley #1 is the most avidly sought of all Stanley Planes for tool collectors.   These 2 examples are the famous Stanley / Bailey #1 Smooth Plane.  On the left is a nice example that is in super nice original condition.  It is a earlier model  pre 1920's which is denoted by the lack of the Stanley logo cast into the cap.  Other than the name Stanley cast into the lever cap on later models, and the logo on the cutter the #1 plane body was unmarked.  The finish on the handle and knob are original and 90% or more of the original japanning remains.  There is no rust or pitting to speak of on the body or sole.  The throat is the proper size and nice as well with no stress cracks or  widening from chips.  The cutter is a more recent NOS replacement with the notched rectangle mark. I have another earlier cutter for it, but it is worn and the logo is unreadable.    There are plenty of #1 planes out there, but not many in as nice condition as this example.

On the left is another example from the same general era with the T logo on the cutter.  The handle and knob are original and in super condition.  The paint / japanning is original and near perfect as well.  There is some light staining / patina on the body sides but no pitting or rust.  The lever cap has the proper B casting mark on the back side.  It is as nice an example as you will find anywhere.

Stanley #1 Smooth Plane  The enduring favorite and most avidly sought of all Stanley Planes for tool collectors, this is the famous Stanley / Bailey #1, and it is in super original condition.    Other than the logo on the cutter early #1 plane were unmarked, probably because of size constraints.  The finish on the handle and knob are original, and there is no rust or pitting to speak of on the body or sole.  The throat is the proper size and nice as well.  There are plenty of #1 planes out there, but not many in as nice condition as this example.

Stanley # 1 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane  This is a very nice Stanley #1.  It has the AA trademark logo on the cutter and Stanley is not on the cap, so we can date this down to just a couple of years from 1923 -1925 if the type st8udy is correct.

This sweet little #1 plane saw little use, and has never been cleaned, lapped or messed with.   The one apology is a hairline crack in the Rosewood rear tote that is nearly invisible.   This could probably made completely invisible by gluing and refinishing it, but the original finish and look are to nice right now.  I do not think it has ever been glued, and I did not take it apart to check.  The japanning is near perfect, and with a light clean to the cutter this would rate as Fine+ on anyone's chart.  Look at all the pics.  A nice plane that will be a welcome addition to the collection.

Stanley / Defiance / Eclipse # 2 Smooth Plane  This is a later #2 with the cutter marked Eclipse.  The collector had it in the Stanley collection and that is what the red tag on the side represents.  I initially thought he was dreaming, but in looking through John Walters ID & price guide I see he was on to something.  This is actually a quite rare and desirable # 2 size plane according to that reference. 

It looks as though the front knob has been replaced, and the rear tote has been reglued.  It is otherwise pretty nice.

 #4 Gage Jack Plane   This plane was made by Stanley after they bought out the Gage Tool Co. of Vineland NJ in their quest for market dominance.  Gage only made a line of wood bottomed planes that were popular, but not really a threat to Stanley.  After buying them Stanley introduced the metal bodied line to compete with the similar looking Sargent Auto-Set Line.
