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!

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 plane is in good overall condition.   

Good . . . . .  $195.00       SOLD











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 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!!

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.

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.

#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.
