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+ . . . . . . $145.00 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 . . . . . . $295.00 SOLD

About as nice as one could ask for. Note the fine detail
construction in the last pic. Good stamp. Very nice!!
Fine . . . . . . $150.00 SOLD!!
Disston
10" Steel Carpenters Bevel
Disston is not just well known, they are
famous for their line of saws. In addition to saws they also marketed
a line of other carpenter and building related tools. Squares, levels and so
forth. All are much harder to find than similar Stanley versions.
This unusual bevel be a
fine user or nice addition to the collection. Nice!! Good + . . . . . . $25.00 SOLD!!
Hall & Knapp Bevel
A rare & early bevel in super condition. This was produced
before they merged with Stanley to form the Stanley Rule & Level Co.
Fine . . . . . $55.00 SOLD!!
Goodell
Pratt Brass Framed & Rosewood Fill Bevel
There is one small chip in the wood on the
edge. It will not affect use. A beautiful tool in the style
of St. Johnsbury of Vermont tools. Fine . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!
Calhoon Patent Square / Bevel Roofers Tool This unusual patented roofers square
/ bevel, w/ level hails from MO
and was patented in 1912. It was slightly over engineered and the idea
as presented
never really caught on in its day. I suppose that could be attributed
to a variety of reasons besides how complicated it seems, and how many
different scales there are. It is a hard to find and odd
piece.Later the Swanson speed square was introduced using much of this squares ideas but utilizing the KISS design criteria, it was "new, novel, very popular, and .simple It was touted as a new and wonderful invention. It just goes to show that there really are no new ideas. I'd be willing to bet Swanson made a lot more money also.
Fine . . . . . . $250.00 SOLD!!
Henry Disston
18" Rosewood Bevel
This 18" Disston Bevel is a rare piece by
Henry Disston, the
famous and respected maker of Disston handsaws. Besides saws Disston offered a few other
tools like levels and bevels and they are all hard to find. Especially the
rarer and more unusual pieces like this, and especially in this nice
condition. Most Disston
tools that are found are usually well
worn from use.Look at the condition of this extra large 18" rosewood bevel!! It is near mint with a bold and clear stamp. It was obviously never used and had been stored away for the better part of 100 years. A super piece!!
Fine + . . . . . . $150.00 SOLD!
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. Fine . . . . . . $95.00 SOLD!
1873
Patent
Larrison / Leigh Combination Bevel / Level w/ Graduated Brass Blade I have
never had or seen this unusual patented combination bevel / level before. I found one reference
in a price guide to
a damaged one selling for close to 1000 in a well known tool auction a few
years back. There was no maker info or anything else
listed in the description. Just that it was unusual.The condition of this example is exceptional. The only similar combination bevel / square I could find for this date is different in some aspects, and correct in others. I believe it is the correct patent and that they modified it to be easier to make and use. The patent number is 160106 and it was granted to a J. L. Larrison, and H. Leigh who lived in NY and PA pretty close to each other. Very unusual!! Opportunity knocks!!
Fine . . . . . . $900.00 SOLD!!
