Stanley Bedrock Smooth PlaneStanley #602 Type 7 Bedrock Smooth Plane  This #602 Stanley Bedrock Smooth Plane  is a very nice plane overall.  These planes were Stanley's top of the line bench planes when produced starting around 1898 up until the Second World War when production ceased. And when compared to the standard line of bench planes that Stanley put out it is like comparing Cadillac's with Vega's.  Today they remain one of the most sought after and highly regarded bench planes that has ever been produced due to their superior quality, top of the line design features, and the super usability traits that they exhibit.  This is by far the rarest and most desirable size of the Bedrock series of planes that was made. It has the proper Stanley Lever cap for this era, and the cutter, which is full length is of sweetheart vintage.  The wood is nice, and the sole and throat area are nice as well.  A Nice Plane!

Good +. . . . .  $750.00       SOLD




Stanley # 602 Type 6 Bedrock Smooth PlaneStanley # 602 Type 6 Bedrock Smooth Plane   This Stanley #602 smooth plane is a type 6.  Stanley offered these with the single line cap for about 10 years beginning in 1910 or so.  I believe the cap is a newer recast.   The plane has been lapped and tastefully cleaned.  I believe the japanning is original.  The wood is nice, and damage free. A nice example for the shelf or use.

Good  . . . . . . $425.00       SOLD!!








Stanley Bedrock # 603C Corrugated Smooth PlaneStanley Bedrock # 603C Corrugated Smooth Plane  This #603 flat top Bedrock is a nice example from the ever popular Bedrock series of Stanley's "Cadillac" top of the line series of bench planes.  Stanley produced this line of planes up until the second World War.  This one appears to be a type 7 and is proper with the straight slot Stanley cap

This 603 C has most of its original japanning on the interior surfaces, and the sides and sole are nice and free of rust or pitting.  There is just one patent date behind the frog, and the sweetheart cutter is nice as well.   The Rosewood handle and knob are very nice.  This one will make a perfect user, and will become a mainstay in the arsenal of quality tools on your bench.

Stanley Bedrock 603 Smooth PlaneStanley Bedrock #603 Smooth Plane  This #603 flat top Bedrock is a nice example from the ever popular Bedrock series of Stanley's "Cadillac", top of the line series of bench planes that they produced up until the second World War.  This one has most of its original japanning on the interior surfaces, and the sides and sole have been carefully lapped to be free of rust or pitting.  There are two pinhead size irregularities in the throat, but they are cosmetic, and will in no way interfere with the usability of the piece.  There are two patent dates behind the frog, and it has a replaced full length notched logo cutter.  The cap has Bedrock cast into it, but there are some bang marks or dings on the neck of it, again just cosmetic.  The Rosewood handle and knob are near perfect.  This one will make a perfect user, and will become a mainstay in the arsenal of quality tools on your bench.

Stanley Bedrock # 604 Smooth PlaneStanley Bedrock # 604 Smooth Plane    This # 604 smooth plane has characteristics of a type 6 with it single line Bedrock cap.  That would date it from the 1920's.  Later bedrocks had Stanley caps. 

It has well over 90% of the original japanning, and the wood is in super condition and has the style of graceful rosewood handle only these earlier Stanley planes have.

Stanley Bedrock # 604 / Early Round Side Smooth PlaneStanley Bedrock # 604 / Early Round Side Smooth Plane    This early round side # 604 smooth plane is a type 3 and dates from right around the turn of the century.   I believe it is proper and has not been fiddled with.  It is the last of the bedrocks with the great looking 3 line cap.   This plane has been carefully cleaned and lapped.  It is in very nice condition and has well over 90% of the original japanning, and the wood is in super condition and has the style of graceful rosewood handle only these earlier Stanley planes have.  These are the best planes ever made, and for the money, a bargain when weighed against the competition.   . 

Fine . . . . . . $275.00       SOLD!





Stanley Bedrock # 604 C Smooth PlaneStanley Bedrock # 604 C Smooth Plane    This # 604C corrugated smooth plane has characteristics of both a type 5 & 6.  I believe it is proper and has not been fiddled with.  Rather I think the type study needs to be a bit less rigid, and those who consider it the bible need to be a bit more flexible in their beliefs.  Anyway the discrepancy is the type 6 cap, on what otherwise is a type 5.  Perhaps it was issued on Jan 1st explaining it, or perhaps -------

Anyway, it has well over 90% of the original japanning, and the wood is in super condition and has the style of graceful rosewood handle only these earlier Stanley planes have. There are a few numbers stamped into the side rail, indicating this may have come from a school or shop at some point.  A very nice example of a proper plane, or perhaps a rare variation from the type study.

Stanley Bedrock #604 1/2 C Type 3 Smooth Plane    This plane is in good overall condition.  It has very little original japanning left.  I have put very nice proper and original vintage wood on this plane.  I replaced the short cutter with a proper vintage cutter.  I lightly cleaned the whole plane.  There is very light texture / pitting on the sides and bottom, but nothing major or that has to be dealt with.  It would lap out easily and if repainted this plane would look super.  The stuff on the cap is crud, and not pitting.  It will come off as well with a proper cleaning.  It is priced accordingly, and will make a great user just the way it sits.

Good +. . . . .  $295.00       SOLD




Stanley Bedrock #604 1/2 Type 6 Smooth Plane    This plane is in excellent overall condition.  Note the great early Stanley Rosewood handle with a nearly full original decal. The high knob is very nice as well with no cracks or finish loss. They are both rich, dark, and near flawless.  The cutter has the sweetheart logo and that as well as the other features date this plane from approx 1912-1922.   The original black japanning  is well over 90% but is very light from what i have seen on other examples.  There are no casting cracks, chips or other flaws, anywhere!  The throat area is very nice as is the rest of the sole.  The sides have a ever so light texture or pitting that can not be felt but with a glass is evident and indicates that this plane was once lightly rusted, but his is not really noticeable, and will in no way affect the use.  It  would easily lap out if one so desired.  The cap is proper and according to the type study that Bob Kaune has put out, this would be a type 6 and all parts are proper for this.  These 604 1/2 Bedrock planes very hard to find these days, and they are still the standard that all planes try to emulate 100 years later.  Nothing finer has ever been built for the money and value in one of these planes, and this one will not disappoint in any way, it is very nice!!  Top Shelf!   Recommended.

Stanley # 605 Bedrock Jack PlaneStanley # 605 Bedrock Jack Plane This is a nice 605 Bedrock jack plane.  The Cadillac of the Stanley series of bench planes and there is no finer or more popular woodworking plane made.   Ready to go back to work. 

Good +  . . . . . . $225.00         SOLD!










Stanley Bedrock 605 1/4 Smooth PlaneStanley # 605 1/4 Bedrock Junior Jack Plane  This super condition plane is a type 9, and is proper in all respects.  It still retains nearly all of the original black japanned finish.  The knob and handle are nice, noting the partial decal on the handle.  There is a small 1/8" deep by 1/2" chip out of the top of the tote.  There are no casting problems, and the body just exhibits a nice even patina.  It has never been over cleaned or otherwise messed with as there was no need.  This collector condition and very difficult to find plane is a super example of a plane that does not appear very often.  A nice one!!

Good . . . . .  $375.00       SOLD




Stanley Bed Rock # 605 1/4 Junior Jack PlaneStanley Bed Rock # 605 1/4 Junior Jack Plane    This is one of the hardest Stanley Bedrock planes to find.  It ranks right up there with the 602 & 604 1/2 and is probably even scarcer given its shorter production period. Stanley bedrocks were first introduced in the late 1890's and had round sides but a very unique frog design that the standard Stanley line of planes did not have.  After a short period they flattened the side rails as this one has.  Over the years the name on the cap changed from a 3 line cap, to a single line Bedrock, then to a 2 line one and finally near the end of the production period simply went to the Stanley inscribed cap as this one has.  Stanley stopped making Bedrocks with the beginning or WWII and this dates from right around that time. 

This example is in collector condition and still retains nearly all of its original shiny black japanned finish.  The wood is nice and much nicer than the glare in the pictures shows.  The Stanley in a single line on the cap is proper as they only offered this plane after they had dropped the Bed Rock marked cap.  A super piece in super condition.  .

s606s.jpg (22342 bytes) Early Stanley Bedrock #606 Fore Plane  This example has the Stanley Pat 92 cutter and nearly 2 inches of meat left on it. It retains approx 80% of the japanning, and there is no rust or pitting, just an nice even brown patina on the exposed metal areas.  It sports a rosewood handle that has a chunk missing near the top and a nice low front knob.  This plane has one patent date behind the rear handle of April 2nd 1895 and the proper Stanley / Bedrock 3 line lever cap that is in super condition.  It is a type 3 dating it from 1900-08 and all parts are proper and original.  A good user for the shop or put it on the shelf.

Good . . . . .  $195.00       SOLD


Stanley # 6 (606) Type 1 Bedrock Fore PlaneStanley # 6 (606) Type 1 Bedrock Fore Plane Stanley introduced the Bedrock line of planes in 1898.  The outward appearance of the first ones was near identical to the standard looking line of Stanley bench planes.  The cap was different, and marked with the new, distinctive 3 line Bedrock info. There was a single frog adjusting screw behind the frog that standard issue Stanley Bench planes did not have at this time, and that was about it for differences.  Later they flattened the sides, and added pins and 2 additional screws to the frog design to change the look and action.

The earliest type Bedrock planes was marked #6 and not 606.  This was the same for all sizes 2 thru 8. . Also at the tail, there is a ground out area where Stanley removed a patent date that was in conflict with somebody else's patent.  This type 1 Bedrock plane was only offered for a couple of years, and is quite scarce.  In order to fully understand and appreciate the above info one must see and study the type study put out by Bob Kaune. 

The condition is very nice noting that the top of the rear tote has chipped away.  A very hard to find plane, and the beginning of an era!!

Stanley Bedrock 607 Jointer PlaneStanley Bedrock #607 C Jointer Plane  This 607C is a type 8 according to the type study with the exception of having a replaced later full length cutter with the notched rectangle logo.  It still retains approx 90% of its original japanning with the largest amount missing right at the tail.  The sides and the sole look good and have been lightly cleaned. The wood is nice with no major chips cracks or the like, just some loss of finish.  A used plane that will make a great user and a favorite of the woodworkers who use them.

Stanley Bedrock # 607 Type 10 Jointer PlaneStanley Bedrock # 607 Type 10 Jointer Plane  This # 607 Bedrock Jointer plane is near mint and has never been reconditioned or otherwise fiddled with.  The owner had built a special place inside his tool box to hold it, and then proceeded to add so many other tools that it never came out of the box again for over 50 years.   It is in superb condition.    The japanning is near 99%  or better and looks great.  There are no casting cracks or problems in the body or main casting.  The rosewood handle and knob look great.  The sides and bottom have no rust or pitting and look good as well..  It will make a great user or addition to the collection.

#608 C Stanley Bedrock Jointer PlaneEarly Round Side #608 C Stanley Bedrock Jointer Plane  This vintage workhorse from Stanley's top of the line Bedrock series is in nice condition. There is approx. 85% plus of the original japanning on the body, and the nice even patina on the exposed metal parts that can only come with nearly 100 years of age, careful use and proper storage. This example has all the characteristics of a type 3 and is proper in all respects for that vintage plane including a properly marked cutter. There are no casting cracks, chips or other damage anywhere. There are some small nicks in the top of the gracefully formed rosewood tote that is hardly noticeable.  The grain and color of this handle are nice.  The front knob is nice..  This line of planes was the the Flagship of the Stanley line, the Bedrock 600 Series, and are still considered the best plane made or available, and no other plane by any other maker has ever come close to matching them in quality, design, usability and value since Stanley first started producing them over a 100 years ago.  This example will not disappoint.  It is a beautiful plane.
