Sargent Tools & Planes

The .

Sargent & Co. 1894 Catalog  Good overall condition on the interior. Some damage to the outer binding hinge (taped). Super illustrations. Sargent's main focus at this point was Hardware including door knobs, locks and associated hardware, more than tools and planes.  There are plenty of them as well as a full line of other tools and general line of household goods from the era. Well over 1000 pages.   While the cover says 1894 there are added inserts and updates including a "new" price list for pics and hoes dated 1899. A wealth of information and history.

Sargent Bench Planes

Sargent #407 Type 2 (#2 size) Smooth Plane   This is a very nice example of an early plane by Sargent Tool Co. one of the major competitors of Stanley in the plane manufacturing business early in the last century. Being a type 2 dates this plane from before 1910. This plane retains most of its original japanning, and has a rich and even patina with no pitting or rust to speak of. The early, proper and original Rosewood handle and knob are very nice as well. The one apology is that the cutter has been replaced at some point with a Stanley one that dates from the teens. A tough plane to find.

Good . . . . .$ 225.00            SOLD

Sargent No. 407 (No. 2 Size) Smooth Plane   The overall condition is nice enough. Lots of original japanning, and no damage to speak of. It has been cleaned and looks pretty good. Given the handle material and form it dates from pre 1924.

Sargent Shaw Patent # 7 C (# 2 Size) Corrugated Bottom Smooth Plane  This is a very nice example of Sargent's Shaw Patent # 7 a very hard to find # 2 size plane. The Shaw's Patent plane was Sargent Tool Co's. answer to Stanley's Bedrock design. They were only offered for about 8 years beginning in 1910. An interesting idea, but not nearly as elegant as Stanley's Bedrock design and so never became as popular making them much harder to come by.

This example retains 90% or better of the original japanning with most missing on one of the inside cheeks. The proper cap is marked 7 on the backside and VBM for Very Best Made out front. The Mahogany tote and knob are solid, very nice and look great. Nice long Sargent cutter marked 7. No rust or pitting to speak of, and has not been over cleaned. Good honest patina. A rare opportunity to add a great Sargent Tool Co. piece to the tool collection.

Sargent #407 Smooth Plane w/ Brass Name Plaque This is a rare variation of the Sargent #407 / 2 size plane. Very few of these are found with this plaque and even fewer in the small #2 size. The condition is nice, and the cutter proper. No damage or problems. The tag on the side indicates the collector bought this from Dave Paling the famous California dealer back in 1981. A nice plane, and a hard one to find.

Sargent 707 Auto Set Smooth Plane  Nice overall condition. Some loss of finish on the bed of the body. Long proper cutter w/ stamp faint. No rust or pitting. You can still see the milling marks on the sole. Good throat.

The tag indicates I sold this to the collector in July of 1991. 30 years ago. It is one of those planes I'll remember buying forever. It was late afternoon on a Sunday at a 3 day old garage sale in Florida. Interesting and nice.

Sargent Auto Set # 707 (#2) Smooth Plane  Sargent made 3 different versions of #2 size planes. The Shaw's Patent which was numbered #7, the number 407 which had typical design, and this the #707 which is referred to as an Auto Set. This looks like a nice plane but has two issues. The top rim of the lever cap is damaged. It holds the adjuster down and in place. It has popped off and been re-attached. It is not permanent. (see pic) There is also a small crack at the side in front of the throat. It turns the corner and goes about an 1/8" on either surface. It does not reach the throat, but it is there.The wood is original and nice. The cutter is proper, marked and nice. A nice looking but slightly damaged small smooth plane with some good parts.

Sargent VBM No. 407 (No. 2) Smooth Plane This Sargent 407 is in nice overall condition. The VBM / Very Best Made No. 407 logo cutter dates this No 2 size Sargent plane from before 1919 and makes it a type 3. The casting is extra thick and nice. The owner did stamp his name on one side. The wood is very nice. The throat area is nice. The body and sole are not rusty or pitted and there are no other issues. A nice early example.

Good +. . . . . . $200.00       SOLD!!

Sargent / Shaw Patent No. 8 C Smooth Plane This sale is for the Sargent / Shaw Patent No. 8 C Smooth Plane pictured. The No. 8 is the size of a number 3. It is in very nice overall condition.

The Shaw Patent line of bench planes Sargent offered was their answer to Stanley's Bed Rock line of bench planes. While the frog adjustment design somewhat mimicked the Stanley design it was no where near as robust or well done. The Shaw patent line of Sargent planes were not terribly popular and were only offered for about 10 years beginning in 1909.

The cutter is long, properly marked 8C and nice. The body is damage free and pretty nice. The rear tote has been glued and looks good. Lots of original japanning. These planes do not turn up very often.

Sargent # 9 (4 size) Shaw's Patent Smooth Plane Shaw Patent planes, wit their odd frog design, were Sargents counter to the Stanley Bedrock design. They work OK once properly set up, but the design is not nearly as elegant as the Bedrock design. It was not as well received by the public either, and so are far harder to find that the equivalent size Stanley Bedrock.

"Zenith" Marshall Wells # 409 C (4 Size) Corrugated Bottom Smooth Plane Sargent made this plane for Marshall Wells. The Zenith logo etch on both sides is clearly visible. It is also on the cutter. The one apology is the reglued handle. A very nice example.

Zenith Shaw's Patent #4 Size Smooth Plane by Sargent This plane was made by Sargent for the Marshall Wells Hardware Co who used Zentih as their brand name. They stamped / etched their distinctive logo into both sides and the cutter is marked as well. It is a Shaw's patent with its Stanley Bedrock like idea for attaching the frog to the body. It was not nearly as well thought out or as elegant or even well executed idea, but is certainly different from the norm. It is all here, and all OK. Used but not abused.

Good + . . . . . $ 75.00      SOLD!!

Sargent Shaw's Patent # 8 Smooth Plane This model plane was Sargent's answer to the ever popular Stanley Bedrock series of planes. With its unusual frog design and 3 screw adjusting mechanism, it ranks as one of the hardest and most desirable of all Sargent planes to collect or use. This plane is in super original condition still retaining nearly all of its original black japanning and its exposed metal parts are rust and pit free. The Mahogany knob and handle are very nice as well. This plane has never been cleaned or messed with and is in excellent untouched original condition. A tough one to find in this size and condition.

Good . . . . .$ 125.00         SOLD

Sargent # 10 (4 1/2 size) Shaw's Patent Smooth Plane   Shaw Patent planes, with their odd frog design, were Sargent Tool Company's counter to the Stanley Bedrock design. They work OK once properly set up, but the design is not nearly as elegant as the Bedrock design with the captive pins that are easy to get at, and the machined frog to body design. The Shaw patent looks similar and has the same general idea, but it is not nearly as well executed. It was not as well received by the public either, and so are far harder to find that the equivalent size Stanley Bedrock.

This example has two apologies, there is a small chip in the front side rail, and the handle has horn issues.

Sargent # 14 (5 size) Shaw's Patent Jack Plane Shaw Patent planes, with their odd frog design, were Sargent Tool Company's counter to the Stanley Bedrock design.

The Shaw patent looks similar and has the same general idea, but it is not nearly as well executed.

Sargent # 22 C (7 size) Shaw's Patent Corrugated Jointer Plane   Shaw Patent planes, with their odd frog design, were Sargent Tool Company's counter to the Stanley Bedrock design. They work OK once properly set up, but the design is not nearly as elegant as the Bedrock design with the captive pins that are easy to get at, and the machined frog to body design. The Shaw patent looks similar and has the same general idea, but it is not nearly as well executed.

This example has a proper size cutter but is marked 18.Also the rear handle looks like it might be a Rosewood replacement.

Good + . . . . . $165.00       SOLD!!

Sargent # 722 Tilt Knob Jointer Plane  Sargent's Auto set line of planes was very popular and a well made plane. The 722 was the largest they offered and had an unusual tilting front knob.

Sargent # 18 C (6 size) Corrugated Bottom Shaw's Patent Fore Plane   Shaw Patent planes, with their odd frog design, were Sargent Tool Company's counter to the Stanley Bedrock design. The idea works OK once properly set up, but the design is not nearly as elegant as the Bedrock design with the captive pins that are easy to get at, and the machined frog to body design. The Shaw patent looks similar and has the same general idea, but it is not nearly as well executed. It was not as well received by the public either, and so examples are far harder to find that the equivalent size Stanley Bedrock.

This example is pretty nice. The cutter is the proper size cutter but is marked 10 being from a rare model the size of a 4 1/2. The body is nice. The wood is proper and nice. The frog looks to have been repainted.

This example has a number of apologies. The frog has been welded. The lever cap is the right size, but unmarked. The wood is OK, but looks like Rosewood and off of a Stanley. The cutter is the proper size cutter but is marked 418. The body is nice.

Sargent Special Use Planes

Sargent # 37 Skew Rabbet Plane in Box  Fine condition. Very nice early and hardest to find size of this unusual Sargent plane. It is a near exact copy of the Stanley 39 series of skew rabbet planes. Sargent numbered their version a bit different. All sizes started with a 3, and the second number indicated the 1/8, hence a # 37 is 7/8" wide. The box has some minor damage. The plane looks to have been used once put back in the box and forgotten for close to 80 - 100 years.

Fine . . . . . $250.00         SOLD!!

3 Sargent Scrub Planes This group of planes may not look special to the casual observer, but all metal Sargent scrub planes are becoming pretty hard to find, and that two cutter model in the middle is one of the rarest of all planes that Sargent ever produced. These Sargent scrub planes are the #161, #161, & #162 and date from the teens into the 20's or so with the rare 162 only having been made in one production run. The #162 is often found missing pieces as they were very hard to adjust and oftentimes the owner just took out 1 cutter and a cap and used it with just one cutter.

Good . . . . .$1750.00        SOLD

Sargent #29 Rabbet Plane This is a great looking plane. The cap is the brass plaque style and a rare variation. The cutter is near full length with plenty of life in it. There is no rust or pitting, and the wood is nice as well. It will be a great user, or is nice enough for the shelf.

Sargent No. 160 Roughing / Scrub Plane Sargent offered 3 different scrub planes, the #160, 161, and 162 in response to the Stanley #40 & #40 1/2. line of Scrub Planes. Sargent took the idea one step further with the rare No. 162 double cutter scrub. All three of the all iron planes are much harder to find than the Stanley versions. Here we have the smallest No. 160 in decent condition noting the black finish has losses. The nice cutter is original and properly marked. Put it back to work.

Good +. . . . . $195.00         SOLD!!

Sargent 1068 - 1067 Combination Tongue & Groove Planes Sargent made some very innovative and interesting designed planes and these T & G planes they offered fall into that category nicely. These are both complete and damage free, but as with many of their products the nickel is weak. There is a 1068 & 1067 offered as a pair.

Good . . . . .$ 225.00 / Pair           SOLD

Sargent # 1508 1/2 "Lady Bug" Rabbet & Dado PlaneThis was Sargent's answer to the Stanley #90 series of planes and came in a range of sizes much like the Stanley 90 -94. Sargent went a step further and also offered these with an optional fence and depth stop. Those would be referred to with a 1/2 after the main number like 1508 in this case. In other words it is proper and to be expected that many of these planes do not have the fence / rod and depth stop, even if the body is drilled for them. This one does. They were offered as an accessory.

Good . . . . .$ 2250.00       SOLD






Sargent 507 Rabbet Block Plane Great condition. The 507 is a better design than the Stanley 140 Rabbeting Block Plane in one way, but because of that feature with the opening on both sides it is a weaker design and is oftentimes is found cracked in the cheek area on either side. This one is damage free and still has 90% or more of the japanning. The cutter has plenty of life left in it as well. A nice example.

Good . . . . . $25.00        SOLD!!

Sargent No. 105 Tailed Block Plane  Cutter is unmarked.There is no markings on the plane body.Identical to a Stanley # 100 tailed block plane, but I believe it is made by Sargent given the exaggerated hump of the side rail. That would make it a #105. Given the lack of marks it was probably sold to a different retailer or regional hardware store of the era. Nice!!

Union Tool Co. X-8 C Corrugated Bottom Jointer Plane  Union Tool Co was another CT based tool maker who went up against Stanley trying to compete with the king. They offered a line similar to Stanley's along with a few different ideas in an attempt to get some market share. They were around for a while but in the end were bought out by Stanley. Their line of vertical post X planes was one of those attempts. They are interesting, but not one of the greatest designs compared to say Stanley's Bed Rock line. Not rare, except for the # 1 size they made, but not common either.

This example is in overall nice condition noting the top of the handle has gone missing. Nice.

Good + . . . . . . $ 95.00        SOLD!!

Zenith Shaw's Patent No 14 Jack Plane by Sargent This Shaw Patent Jack Plane was made by Sargent for the Marshall Wells Hardware Co. of Duluth Minn. who used Zenith as their brand name.

Zenith is cast into the body behind the knob. It is marked Sargent and the patent info behind the frog. The plane sides are stamped / etched with the distinctive Zenith logo on both sides of the plane as is the cutter.

Shaw Patent planes, with their odd frog design, were Sargent Tool Co's counter to the Stanley Bedrock design. They were produced for approx. 10 years near the turn of the century.

The design is not nearly as elegant or well done as the Bedrock design, with the captive pins that are easy to get at, and the machined frog to body design. The Shaw patent adjustment feature looks similar and has the same general idea, but it is not nearly as well executed. It was not as well received by the public either, and so, are far harder to find that the equivalent size Stanley Bedrock Plane.

This example is in super original condition with approx. 95% of the original japanning. The proper marked cutter is full length and nice. No issues, no apologies. About as nice as one could ask for in a plane over 100 years old.

Fine . . . . . . $175.00        SOLD!!

Zenith / Marshall Wells # 4 1/2 Size Smooth Plane by Sargent This plane is in nice overall condition. It was made for Marshall Wells a northwest tool distributer by Sargent.

The mahogany handle and knob are nice. No other issues or problems. A very hard to find plane that will make for a fine user or a nice addition to the collection.

Keen Kutter / Simmons Hardware
Antique Tools & Planes

The .


Keen Kutter / Simmons Hardware K 9 3/4 Tailed Block Plane This unusual Keen Kutter tailed block plane is marked  K 9 3/4 on the lateral. Given the style of the cap, and the round handy features on the side rails I believe this was made by Ohio Tool Co., one of the several companies that Simmons Hardware Co of St Louis MO. used to make their different lines of tools and planes which Simmons then branded with their famous trade name Keen Kutter.

The overall condition is fine with well over 90% of the original japanning, and no rust, pitting, or other condition issues. It has a nice long properly marked cutter as well. A pretty rare piece in the scheme of things. One would expect to see 100 Stanley 9 3/4 planes for every one of these that turns up. An opportunity ready for the collection.

Fine  . . . . . . $ 375.00      SOLD!!

Keen Kutter K65 Low Angle Block Plane This is a Stanley made No. 65 clone. The cutter and cap are both marked Keen Kutter. The adjuster knob says Stanley. It is a nice looking and working plane.

Fine . . . . . $65.00         SOLD!!

Keen Kutter / Simmons Hardware K 18 Block Plane Simmons marketed other tool makers products which they branded Keen Kutter. Simmons had their planes and tools made by other well known tool and plane makers.

Stanley, Ohio, Sargent, and other tool makers contracted with Simmons Hardware to supply Simmons with tools marketed under the famous Keen Kutter name. They had a large and loyal following for their products centered in the Midwest.

This K18 is in good used condition. The plane was made by Ohio Tool given the characteristics, including the distinctive round handy features. It has a proper marked cutter with lots of life left in it. Throat area has small chip. No rust or pitting to mention, etc.

Nice enough!

Simmons Hardware Keen Kutter No. KK 9 1/2 Block Plane  Clean & Nice.No structural issues. Marked near tail KK 9 1/2. Cutter has correct Keen Kutter logo stamp beneath crude.

Keen Kutter / Simmons Hardware K 4 1/2 C Corrugated Bottom  Large Smooth Plane (Bedrock 604 1/2 C)  Everything about this unusual and hard to find plane is nice. Simmons Hardware marketed their line of planes under the Keen Kutter name and over the years had several different tool or plane makers produce planes for them. For a few years just after the turn of the century they had Stanley make their planes based on Stanley's Bedrock plane design. These Stanley made planes were denoted as the K series. The K 4 1/2 and K 2 are the hardest to find of this type. These bedrock like planes date from shortly after the turn of the century and have all the same features of early Bedrocks including the bedrock milled frog and adjustment detail. It really is a superior design for several reasons, but Simmons was always mindful of the dollar and later planes, designated as KK, were made by other outfits who put in cheaper bids, and this Bedrock like design was dropped. Very Nice!!

Keen Kutter K 5 Jack Plane (Stanley 605 Bed Rock) Simmons Hardware contracted out to Stanley to provide their line of bench planes for a few years back around 1910. At that time they opted for the Bed Rock design / style with the mated frog to body design. They numbered them with a single K and the size, K2 thru K8. Later Simmons would use Ohio, Sargent and others to make their line of planes. These are usually marked KK 5.

Some light pitting. The wood is OK noting it has remains of a dark finish on it. Cutter is proper and OK. It will detail out to be nicer and will be a great user for reasonable money.

KK / Keen Kutter #71 Router Plane  The Keen Kutter / KK line of planes and tools was E. C. Simmons flagship line of planes that they had others make for them.E. C. Simmons were masters of marketing objects with their name on them that they had others make for them. Stanley made this for them.

The plating on this hard to find router is over 90% and this router plane saw little use. It came to me with both blade holders shown and I am not sure if that is original or not. One has the depth adjuster, and one does not.   That would seem to make sense for when using it as an open throat model using it in reverse.   There is just one cutter. These are much harder to find than their Stanley 70 / 71 Router counterparts. A nice example.

Keen Kutter / Simmons Hardware KK 60 Low Angle Block Plane This low angle Keen Kutter block plane is marked  KK 60 on the toe. It looks to be the equivalent of a Stanley 60 1/2.  Given the style of the cap, and the round handy features on the side rails it was made by Ohio Tool Co., one of the several companies that Simmons Hardware Co of St Louis MO. contracted with to make their different lines of tools and planes which Simmons then branded with their famous trade name Keen Kutter. Note also that it has a lateral adjustment feature allowing the user to swing the entire blade assembly from side to side a feature Stanley low angle block planes did not have.

The overall condition is good with approx. 80% of the original japanning, and no pitting, or other condition issues. It has a nice properly marked cutter. A pretty rare piece in the scheme of things. Nice!!

Keen Kutter KK #113 Compass Plane  This is a pretty nice example of a hard to find plane sold by Simmons hardware of Keen Cutter fame. Simmons had their planes made by different manufacturers over the years, and this one appears to be made by Stanley. The body is marked 113, the front knob is marked properly, and the cutter has the KK logo. The one odd feature is the frog's lateral is marked Stanley. It looks original and proper, and doesn't look like it's been changed out---but it's unusual for it to be marked that way.

Keen Kutter #312 (#112) Scraper Plane  This Keen Kutter #312 Scraper plane is in pretty nice original condition. There is well over 80% of the original japanning. I have not had one of these in years and so the handle looks strange to me but it also has a different body style than Stanley's and I believe this plane was made by Ohio or Sargent for Simmons who marketed it as a Keen Kutter.  The cutter is a replacement for sure.

Simmons Hardware Co. Keen Kutter K 3 Smooth Plane (603 Stanley Bedrock)  Simmons Hardware had different makers produce their line of planes for them at different periods. During was one period in the early 1900's they contracted out the bench plane production to Stanley and ordered planes to be designed like the Stanley Bedrock series of bench planes, with their unique and superior frog design. These planes were marked with a single K and the #. These would correspond to the early round side Stanley Bedrocks and have the same design frog and adjustment as early Stanley Bedrocks did. They were made in sizes 2 thru 8 and are of the same quality as Stanley's line noting that the caps are unmarked and they have a twisted lateral.

The tag indicates I sold this to the collector back in the early 90's. Neither of us bothered cleaning it but that is all it needs to be a top shelf example of a Bedrock quality plane. There is no damage, and it will clean to be fine or better. This is a  pretty hard to find plane and is nice enough for the shelf, or will make a great user.

Keen Kutter KK #3 by Ohio Tool Co. Simmons Hardware of St Louis MO was the premier tool and houswares distributor in the Midwest during the early part of the last Century and before. Simmons Hdwre. Co. Keen Kutter KK series planes were made for them by a few different makers including Ohio Tool Co, and Sargent. This nice example was made for them by Ohio as can be deduced by the form of the handle and the shape of the body style. Over the years Simmons switched back and forth using different manufacturers at different periods, I suppose because the bid for those years was more attractive.  Sargent and later Ohio made the later versions with the Mahogany handles and 4 digit # or the no number varieties to identify the plane. Stanley made those that have a single K preceding the # to designate the planes #. This same numbering system is true for Winchester planes from the same period and those planes date from the teens and 20's as well. 

This example is in super condition and has no major defects or problems that need to be reported. It has over 95% of the original japanning, the throat is nice, and the cuter is near full length as well. The early and graceful style Rosewood knob and handle are very nice also. If you look at the horn and base of this handle and compare it to the Stanley made models it is easy to see that Ohio or another maker produced these handles as they are notably different. It is a good one and there will be no disappointments with this plane.

Keen Kutter # 10 1/2 Rabbit Plane  This is a super plane and is in overall excellent condition. It is a first model rabbeting plane with the moveable front piece to help adjust for varying types of cuts that were to be made on different species or hardness of wood.  There is well over 90% of the original black japanning on the body, and the sides and sole are rust-or pit-free, and simply show a beautiful even dark patina that can only come through age and careful storage. I believe that this plane was made by Ohio Tool Co. given the distinctive shape and style of the rear handle being the telling feature. The cutter is proper and original and carries the KK logo. The one apology for this plane is that there is some chipping of,  and three small crack lines at the base of the front knob. It still works as it should, and will be fine for the display shelf, but they are there, and I am grading it as  G+  for this reason alone, as it would otherwise easily fall into the Excellent range with no arguments.

Keen Kutter KK #5 1/2 C by Ohio Tool Co.   This Keen Kutter KK series plane came from the same bench as the one above, and is in similar condition.

It has been lightly cleaned and just exhibits a nice even brown patina.  It is a good one and there will be no disappointments with this plane either.

These were produced during the teens or twenties and are a far superior plane over one of those new imitations available for far more money in todays market. The original cutter is near full length and properly marked with the Keen Kutter / Simmons Hardware Co.logo. This plane has the bedrock frog design with machined mating surfaces where the frog meets the base.  The rosewood handle is very nice and the japanning is 90% or so.   Properly tuned it will make for a great user and is nice enough for the collection shelf. Nice!!

Simmons Hardware Co. / Keen Kutter K 5 1/2  (605 1/2 Stanley Bedrock) Extra Big Jack Plane  Simmons Hardware had different makers produce planes for them at different periods. They did not make planes or other tools, they marketed them.

This K 5 1/2 plane was made by Stanley and has the features of a Bedrock plane the way the frog was made. Bedrocks made by Stanley and sold by Simmons Hardware / Keen Kutter planes were marked with a single K and the #.  This style plane would correspond to the early round side Stanley Bedrocks and has the same design frog and adjustment designs as early Stanley Bedrocks did.They were produced during the teens / 20's.

Later Keen Kutter planes offered by Simmons were made by Sargent, Ohio and others.Those are marked KK and the number or other ways.  

This is a very nice example with approx. 90% of the original finish. The cutter is near full length and there is no pitting or rust to speak of. The early graceful Rosewood handles and knob are nice. A nice Keen Kutter Bedrock 605 1/2 made by Stanley plane at a great price.

Keen Kutter #K5 (Bedrock #605 By Stanley)  These Keen Kutter K series planes, as opposed to the KK series planes by Keen Kutter are actually Bedrock planes made by Stanley for the Simmons Hardware Co. Sargent made the later ones with the Mahogany handles and 4 digit # to identify the plane, while the Stanley made these that have a single K preceding the # to designate the planes #. This same # system is true for Winchester planes from the same period and they date from the teens and 20's. This series of "Bedrock" planes, which many hold to be the best plane ever designed or produced, either back then or today, are a favorite with both users and collectors alike.  These planes were made by Stanley to the same exacting standards as their own line of highly regarded Bedrock series of planes with the most notable differences being the twisted lateral and the unmarked lever caps. This prime example is in super condition and has no major defects or problems that need to be reported. It has over 90% of the original japanning, the throat is nice, and the cuter is near full length as well. The Rosewood knob and handle are very nice also. It is a good one!!

Winchester Woodworking Planes

Winchester #3063 1" Dado/Rabbeting Plane   Sargent made this plane for Winchester during their short lived foray into the consumer tool market back before the onset of the great depression. Through a series of marketing missteps and because of the worsening economy during this period, Winchester who was in partnership with Simmons Hardware, had to give up on their plans to dominate this portion of the consumer market. This plane is in like new condition, with the exception of the cutter, which the previous owner has modified on the top to serve as a moulding cutter of some sort. By doing this he has lost about 1/4 of height to the top of the cutter and has made the top of the cutter round. The original working end appears to have never been sharpened. The japanning is well over 97% and the nickers are as new. You will not be disappointed, it is the nicest one I have ever seen.

Good . . . . .$ 295.00             SOLD

Winchester #3201  (#78) Rabbit Plane As is the case with most Winchester tools and planes, this one has seen considerable use. It has approx. 50% of the japanning, and a rich even patina. There are no casting problems but there are some bangs and dings as is to be expected. This plane was made by Sargent and I believe has the proper fence and rod. I could not find the wing nut for the depth stop in the box where I got this, and so had to replace it with another. Metal bodied planes marked Winchester are always a challenge to find, and this one is no exception.

Winchester Arms Co. No. 3075 Scraper Plane   Winchester Repeating Arms Co foray into the tool market was quick and eventful. They came close to going bankrupt over it.

Winchester did not actually make their line of tools but rather contracted out their orders to other tool makers like Stanley, Ohio Tool, Sargent, and others and then relied on their name recognition, reputation and slogans like "Good As The Gun" to succeed. That was not enough and Winchester pretty quickly got out of the tool and hardware business.    Nice!!

Winchester 3041 Transitional Smooth Plane  This is a Sargent made plane marked Winchester. When Winchester entered the tool market they contracted out to different tool makers like Stanley, Sargent, and Ohio Tool to make their tools and then branded them with the Winchester name. Same strategy as Simmons Hardware used with Keen Kutter and their tool line. It was a great success for Simmons and a disaster for Winchester.

Winchester planes are typically all beat and used up. This example is pretty nice. Proper Winchester marked cutter, good wood body that is pretty thick. Good handle and knob. Throat area is OK, etc. No issues to mention.

Winchester #3080 Scraper Plane   Sargent made this plane for Winchester during their short lived foray into the consumer tool market back before the onset of the great depression. Through a series of marketing missteps and because of the worsening economy during this period, Winchester who was in partnership with Simmons Hardware, had to give up on their plans to dominate this portion of the consumer market. During various periods they had either Stanley, Sargent, or Ohio making tools for them, and then relying on their reputation and marketing to allow them to sell these products with their name and logo on them. This plane has been repainted and the sides lapped, but it still looks good. The cutter is stained and pitted, but it is original, and with a loop you can make out the Winchester name in script on it across the middle. All Winchester planes are hard to find, and especially so the scrapers.

Winchester #3058 Spoke Shave There are some Winchester tools you see pretty regularly, but their spoke shaves are not one of them.

It was short-lived, and most legitimate Winchester tools are pretty hard to find these days.

Winchester #3 Size #3004 Corrugated Smooth Plane by Sargent  Winchester entered the tool market under the assumption that with their reputation that they could and would succeed in this new non gun venture. It almost bankrupted them and they dropped the entire idea, reorganized the company, and returned their focus to guns which they made and knew.

Winchester did not actually make their lines of planes and other tools. They farmed it out to companies like Stanley, Sargent and others. Stanley made planes were designated as W3 or whatever the size was. They were a Bedrock design. Sargent made Winchester planes were marked with a 4 digit number beginning with a 3 as this one is marked behind the frog. Their planes were actually well received and sold pretty well. They are usually found well used and are seldom found in this nice condition. The logo or ditty Winchester used to market their line or tools was "As Good as the Gun"

The lateral is marked with the W 91/2 and I believe it is by Ohio because of the round handy features on the side but it might be a Sargent product.

Union Tool Co. X-5A Large Jack Plane  Union Tool Co was another CT based tool maker who went up against Stanley trying to compete with the king. They offered a line similar to Stanley's along with a few different ideas in an attempt to get some market share. They were around for a while but in the end were bought out by Stanley. Their line of vertical post X planes was one of those attempts at offering a different product. They are interesting, but not one of the greatest designs compared to say Stanley's Bed Rock line. Not rare, except for the # 1 size they made, but not common either.

This example is the size of a 5 1/2 and is in overall nice condition noting the top of the handle has gone missing. It is one of the harder sizes to find. Nice.

It was made by the Birmingham Plane co of CT a main competitor of Stanley back near the end of the 19th century. A pretty rare piece in the scheme of things. Note it has excelsior style side rails. Nice!!

Union #22 Transitional Smooth Plane This is a nice looking plane with good wood and a nice sole. The paint is original and good. A tough plane to find.

Union Tool Co. # X-8 Jointer Plane  The Union Tool Co. competed with Stanley as best they could until they were bought out by them in the 20's. They made a line of planes very similar to the standard Stanley line and also produced this line known as the X series with a vertical post adjuster. This design did away with an adjustable frog, and the blade was adjusted by the lever and brass nuts on the post behind the frog. The condition is like new and these are a popular collectible and pretty hard to find. Different and very nice!

Fine . . . . . .$145.00       SOLD!!

Union Tool Co. #44 Beading Plane Rare & Excellent are the first two things that come to mind when describing this unusual Union 44 beading plane. The nickel plating is well over 95% and shows just minor wear on the sole inside the bead. The # 44 is cast into the side, and Union in the handle, but they were not marked on the frame or elsewhere with the size. Ads from the era indicate it was made in 3 sizes, 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 and this is a 1/2". There is a pic of one and a write-up on page 259 Vol. 1 of Roger Smiths work on American patented planes.

Union Tool Co. use to compete with Stanley Rule & Level Co. and offered many planes that were nearly identical. In a few instances they designed and produced planes a bit different than the Stanley version or offered something entirely different that Stanley did not. Union introduced this pane shortly after the turn of the century and very few have ever been found or come to market. Stanley bought out Union in the 1920's getting rid of the unwanted competition and they dropped or eliminated this design.

I have seen auction results as high as 2,400.00 and only recall seeing one other at a tool meet for close to that amount. A rare and desirable plane!!

Union X 3 C Smooth Plane This is a nice looking plane with good wood and a nice sole.

Union X #4 3/8 Smooth Plane This was the Union Tool Co. contribution to the rare and unusual plane / cutter adjusting idea in an attempt to corner some of the plane sales market Stanley was gathering up. The patent for this idea was issued in 1903 and consists of a vertical post w/ 2 locking nuts to adjust the cutters depth of cut. These planes were offered in sizes from the #0 (#1) through the #8 size, with the smallest, largest, and odd-ball #'s being the hardest to find.

This # 4 3/8 is closest in size to a Stanley # 4 1/2, the oversize smooth plane Stanley offered. This oversize smooth plane is in very nice original condition with 90% of the original paint or more remaining. There is ever so light pitting on the sides and it was cleaned years ago. The cap iron is marked 4 3/8ths. There is patent info in the base. The Rosewood handle had green paint on it which I removed. I am not sure if it is original to the plane or not. A very nice, and hard to find plane.

Good + . . . . .$495.00        SOLD

Ohio Tool Co. # 02 Smooth Plane  This Ohio #2 size plane has been cleaned and had a coat of protective lacquer applied. It looks pretty good. The previous collector did that to most all tools he had. He bought and catalogued over 15,000 tools before he died in the 90s.

Good + . . . . . $250.00        SOLD!!

Ohio 04 Smooth Plane Look close at the rear of the frog on this plane. This plane has a frog adjuster that Ohio tried to introduce to their line just after the turn of the century. My understanding is that Stanley immediately sued and won even though this style adjuster is a bit different design from Stanley's. The tabs are actually cast as part of the base, kind of like Sargent Shaw's patent planes. In any case, it is a pretty rare variation not seen very often. Note that there is a small chip out of the side rail on the front. It also has the wrong cutter in it.  Nice.

Goo . . . . . .$95.00        SOLD!!

Union X 5 C Corrugated Bottom Jack Plane Union Tool Co, was a major competitor of Stanley before they were bought out by Stanley to get rid of the competition back around 1920.

Union produced a line of planes very similar to Stanley's, but also tried their hands at offering different ideas to set themselves apart. The line of Union X planes with its vertical post cutter adjustment feature was an example of this.

While the body of this plane is marked Union and carries the patent date 12 - 8 - 03, the thicker than usual cutter is marked Lakeside. This is proper and a known occurrence. Lakeside was the house name for Montgomery Wards line of tools.

Wards offered a nice line of quality tools back near the turn of the century, all made by other tool makers. They contracted out with different tool makers including Stanley, Ohio, and Sargent to have their carpentry tools made for them.

The plane is in fine little used condition. I believe the cutter has its original grind. It has well over 95% of the original japanning. A fine example.

Fine. . . . . $150.00      SOLD!!

Union X #4 Smooth Plane   Union Tool Co. competed with Stanley as best they could until they were bought out by Stanley in the 20's. In addition to the line of planes that mimicked Stanley's they also introduced some ideas of their own into the market. One of those was their X series of bench planes.  The #4 size is in nice condition, and all proper. The collector applied his signature coat of gloss lacquer to protect it. A nice plane!!

Good + . . . . . .$75.00       SOLD!!

Millers Falls Tool Co. Woodworking Planes

Millers Falls # 209 Smooth Plane  Millers Falls Tool Co. introduced this unusual finish smooth plane in 1938 to commemorate their 70th anniversary. It is highlighted on the cover of that catalog. Millers Falls is well known for their innovative designs and attempts to carve out some market share from the king of the pack, Stanley by introducing new and different designs for their line of tools. A few years after this they introduced and offered what has become known as the "Buck Rodgers" line of planes and tools that also have a very unusual look to them.  In general Millers Falls produced a very nice product, and went a step further when they introduced this model with its clear Red "Permaloid" plastic handles, and Chromium finish on the exposed metal parts. It does stand out, and has a look above the others.   The previous owner did etch his name very lightly into the side rail. You can hardly see it.  Other than that it is near mint and looks to have never been used. Nice!!

Fine  . . . . . $375.00        SOLD!

Millers Falls # 85 Duplex Rabbit / Dado Plane   This is Millers Falls version of the Stanley #78. I had to install a new lever cap as the original broke. That involved a bit of file work to get the slot in the cap to work.. The owner just put it up on the shelf and moved on. It looks to have seen little use.  

Good + . . . . .$ 95.00      SOLD!!

Fine . . . . . $45.00          SOLD!

Millers Falls # 17 Block Plane   Very Nice!!!   90% or better of the original japanning. Millers Falls put out a quality product that rivaled Stanley products in their hey-day. This 7" block plane plane is identical to the popular Stanley 15 block plane and has seen little to no use.

Good + . . . . . $35.00       SOLD!!

Millers Falls No. 27 Block Plane The Millers Falls No 27 Block Plane is the same as a Stanley No. 17, which is the same as a No. 9 1/2 block plane with nickel trim. The body is nice. The throat area is good. The cutter is good. It will be a good user.

Millers Falls #07 B Skew Block Plane  The 07 plane was Millers Falls answer to the Stanley #140 skew block plane. The adjuster is a different design and that is probably the B reference stamped on the side The condition is as nice as one could ask for. Nice!!

Millers Falls #07 Skew Block Plane / Original Box  This plane was Millers Falls answer to the Stanley #140 skew block plane.

Millers Falls #209 Smooth Plane The designers at MF were way ahead of their time design wise offering novel designs trying to steal some of the market share from Stanley. One idea was their Buck Rogers line of planes and tools and this premium upclass model plane that they finished in Chrome w/ Lucite handles. They did not make many, and few survived in this condition.  Different.

Good + . . . . .$495.00       SOLD

Fulton 3708 (# 2) Smooth Plane   This small # 2 size smooth is in super condition. Side marked with model # 3708 and cutter marked Fulton. It is the size of a Stanley #2. Note the exaggerated curve of the handle to allow ones hand to better fit. I read that they were made by Millers Falls who designated their 2 size plane as the # 7.   No rust, pitting or issues. Nice!!

Edwin Hahn # 2 Smooth Plane  This Hahn smooth plane is clearly marked # 2 on the toe and measures about 9" long.    Nice throat and cutter. Sole is corrugated. Interesting and nice.

Marsh M2 C Corrugated #2 Size Smooth Plane  The Marsh #M2 was made by the H. C. Marsh Co. of Rockford ILL. It is an odd design with a very strange frog. It is also one of the few #2 size planes that is set up with an external frog adjusting screw. The pin holding the cap lever looks to be a replacement, and so the lever may be, but it looks right to me.    A nice plane, and a hard one to find.

Good+ . . . . .$395.00  SOLD!!

Iron Squirrel Tail T  Rabbet Carriage Makers Plane  This iron squirrel tail rebate plane measures a bit over 7" long tail to tail.It has a brass slide in cutter lock rather than a wooden wedge that is different and not often seen.

Bronze Squirrel Tail T Rabbet Plane  Overall fine condition. This unusual plane a pinned steel cutter holder wedge instead of a wooden wedge. It is approx. 7" long overall. Very similar to those Hammacher Schlemmer, the famous New York retailer, offered with their line of Piano Makers and Coachmaker Tools back near the turn of the last century. Very nice example.

Fine . . . . . $125.00       SOLD!!

G. G. Co. Good Grip, San Gabriel, CA. No. 101 Size Plane w/ Bakelite Tail / Handle Most of these tiny planes that turn up are unmarked as this one is. Those that are marked have just a stamp on the cutter. It has been years since I have had or seen one. They use to turn up here in CA years ago given they were made here. Kind of a unique design, and the choice of Bakelite as the material for the tail / handle is certainly different. Some missing paint, but otherwise nice. A cute, and hard to find little plane.

Good +  . . . . . $65.00         SOLD!!

Marsh M-2 Smooth Plane  This is a very nice example. The cutter is marked H.C. Marsh Rockford ILL. It is also stamped with the width of the cutter. It is unclear who made this plane for them as it is set up completely different from the Marshall Wells #2 by Sargent above. This Marsh 2 is one of just a few planes this size that had an adjustable frog with a screw behind the frog . For example, Stanley # 2 planes did not have the feature, but Bedrocks did. Most other planes this size did not as well. This plane has a very unusual frog design that is unlike most other planes. Note how high the face of the frog is, and how high the lever cap sits. Also on every one I have ever seen the frog adjuster loop on the frog has had to be bent in order to properly set the planes frog in the right position. Minor flaws inherent in the design. A rare and unusual plane.

Brass Dental Plane The origin and provenance of this small brass "dental" plane are a mystery these days. Google use to recognize it, and if memory serves there might be one in Smiths books, There is a ruler on the side and from memory it was for shaving plaster denture molds or the like. I have only had one and seen just a couple others. A pretty unusual thing.

Good + . . . . . $ 295.00 SOLD

Record No. 778 Rabbet Plane This rabbet plane is much like a No. 78 with some improvements to the design. The double rod design for the fence being a great idea, and the blade adjuster is a much more robust design than the Stanley 78s. The condition is fine noting there is no depth stop.

Fine . . . . . $85.00           SOLD!!

Revonoc # 2 Smooth Plane  This plane has a clearly marked nice Revonoc #2 size cutter in it, but the lateral is marked Stanley. Not sure if that makes it a marriage or not, as the parent company that sold Revonoc, H.S. & B. Co. offered Stanley made products as their own much as Simmons did with Keen Kutter planes. If it is a marriage, the parts are worth the price. The rest of the plane is nice. A rare and unusual plane.

Good + . . . . . $125.00

S s S / Siegley (# 26) Transitional Jack Plane  A really nice condition transitional plane offered by Siegley a well known but obscure maker. It was made by Stanley for Siegley around the turn of the century. 2" wide cutter makes it the size of a Stanley 26. Cutter is marked S s S and stands for Siegley - Steel - Stanley. Those found with a t in the middle indicate a tapered cutter. It is the only marking on the plane. You could not ask for a nicer condition example. It is near mint.
