Howard
Patent Rosewood Bevel
This is in very nice condition. Mr. Howard made a top of the line
series of carpenters bevels, some with cast decorated bodies, some w/
levels incorporated into the body, and this design must have been meant
for the common working guy. The patent info is boldly stamped into the
body It is a pretty unusual piece. PK-HOWARD

Robinson Patent Eagle Mfg Co Bridge
Square
The condition is super and near new. This early and unusual square is an
interesting design and very hard to find. The blades are all nice and both

finish remains on the cross bar. Rare and desirable

2
Patented Center Head Combo Tools
Tough
to find these have been in the collection for 20 -30 years. The
smaller one I believe a Standard Tool Co. example. The blade is marked Standard
Tool Co. Athol. It is a 2 piece affair that was pinned together. The
tag on it indicates it came from Roger Smith back in 1979. The larger one has a later Brown and Sharpe 12" blade in it. I believe it was made by Standard Tool Co as well. It too is a two piece design that was pinned together. These are an interesting combination tool---a try and mitre square, center finder, depth gauge, and more.

Standard
Tool Co. Center Head / Square
Another version w/ original rule.
Good + ........ $125.00 SOLD!
The
Standard Take-Down Framing Square
The copperized finish on this framing
square was an upgrade option that Southington offered and not many people choose
as this is the first one that I have seen. It is simply marked "The Standard"
and is in excellent condition. The canvas case did its job, and is a bit tattered
looking. The 101 model according to the small pocket catalog that is included
also offered their patented rafter tables that their 100 model did not. Very
Nice!!
Good + .......... $ 125.00 SOLD
St.
Johnsbury Patented Bevel
Mr. I. J. Robinson of St. Johnsbury VT, is known as the premier maker of bevels,
squares and other measuring tools for the woodworking and machinist trades,
and pulled the patent for this design bevel on June 14th 1870. There were
none finer to be had during his day, and his line of tools remain today one of the
favorites of the old tool collecting crowd. This example has some light pitting
on the 6" blade, but the 4" body and the rosewood infill are in super condition.
The name and patent info on the body are clear and strong. A Mr. A. Young
has carefully and tastefully stamped his name into the rosewood for an added nice
touch. A nice example.
Good+ ....... $395.00 SOLD
Smith
Patent Combination Square / Bevel This is a
pretty rare tool in the scheme of things. Designed for roof
framing and other associated tasks where more than one angle or bevel
was needed at a time. The patent info is on the handle, and the
aluminum body is pretty nice noting one casting flaw on the bottom
right. Good . . . . . . $395.00 SOLD
Kenny's Patent Marking Gauge Pat Jan 4th 1870 This interesting piece is unmarked, as they all are, but it is a well known and very desirable patented tool from the 19th century. Typically they have a Rosewood and Boxwood head, but this version has two boxwood ones. As is often the case, these heads are both cracked, and one has been glued. It is still operational and looks OK as is. The brass rod is in super condition and has never been cleaned or abused. Ready as is to be used, or with a simple restoration, this could be a highlight.
Good+ ..... $225.00 SOLD
12"
St Johnsbury Machinist Square
This is a prime example of a true masterpiece of workmanship and skill from a different
era. There is no damage, rust pitting or other flaws. An unusual square,
in an unusual size and in unusually nice condition.

Early & Unusual Angle Divider
The design looks a lot like a Langlai. It is simply marked Pat Apld For on the main steel body. The
locking lever on the back operates as it should, and i am not sure of the
function of the sliding brass collar on the main body
Goodell
Pratt Rosewood Infill 8" Bevel
This is a very hard to find bevel. Goodell Pratt
bought out St Johnsbury Tool Co, when they were at their peak and offered these for just a short
period before they left the market. Goodell Pratt was best known for their
extensive line of quality drills and other small tools, and
were trying to expand their market,. Great idea, but either the depression, or Stanley
ended those dreams and the rest is history.. A nice example in lightly used condition.
Good+ . . . . . . $175.00 SOLD!
Bridge City Tool
MS-2 Mitre Square The owner of this
square liked nice tools. He ordered a lot from both Bridge
City Tools and Lie Nielson. He also bought some quality Stanley stuff
from top dealers.
A lot of it is still in the original boxes and shows little if any sign of
use. This square is like new, and probably 15 to 20 years old, and no
longer offered by Bridge City Tool Works that I can tell.
Fine+ . . . . . . $85.00 SOLD!

find folding square w/ Protractor. Used but OK. The blade appears
