Lie Nielsen #212 Scraper Plane The #212 is a hard to find scraper plane by Stanley.  It was dropped from their line in the mid 30's and has been known to bring over $1000 on the market today.  I can remember when fly rod makers drove that market when that hobby took off with classes around the country.   That was years ago and there just were not enough around and the prices rose even higher if you could find one.  Lie Nielsen introduced this plane many years ago, but by then the common wisdom, and shear demand made the Stanley 9 1/2 block plane the new plane of choice for many rod makers.  Lie Nielsen still touts this plane as being well suited to the task, and I am sure it is and works well for that or other applications!!  This is NOS and in the original box.

NOS / EXC. . . . . . . .$175.00       SOLD!

Lie Nielsen # 140 Skew Block Plane Stanley stopped making its version of this skew block plane back during WWII.  Lie Nielsen reintroduced the basic idea with a major improvement being the addition of the fence.   Stanley's skew block plane idea was and is very popular w/ users, and this version by Lie nielsen w/ a fence should be equally as well received.   Different!! 

NOS / EXC. . . . . . . $195.00         SOLD!





Lie Nielsen #95 (LH) Edge Plane This is the left hand version of the Stanley #95 edge plane produced by Lie Nielsen.  Stanley just made one version, but Lie Nielsen saw the wisdom in making one skew right and another left to double sales.  I am surprised Stanley did not think of that.  The collector bought it as a collectible, and I doubt it ever saw a piece of wood.  Included is a signed letter from the president of Lie Nielsen describing all the features and fine points.    NOS!

NOS / EXC. . . . . . . .$125.00        SOLD!     

Lie Nielsen #95 (RH) Edge Plane This is the right hand version of the Stanley #95 edge plane produced by Lie Nielsen.  Stanley just made one version, but Lie Nielsen saw the wisdom in making one skew right and another left to double sales and add to the versatility.  I am surprised Stanley did not think of that.  The collector bought it as a collectible, and I doubt it ever saw a piece of wood.  Included is a signed letter from the president of Lie Nielsen describing all the features and fine points as well as the box..    NOS!

NOS / EXC. . . . . . . .$125.00        SOLD!

Lie Nielsen # 102 & #103 Block Plane They call the 103 the standard angle, and the 102 the low angle.  Both are like new and unused.   Very Nice!!!

103 High Angle  . . . . NOS / EXC. . . . . . . $75.00        SOLD!     

102 Low Angle  . . . . NOS / EXC. . . . . . . .$95.00        SOLD!

Lie Nielsen #97 Cabinet Makers Chisel Plane   Lie Nielsen offers this plane in two different sizes.  This is the smaller half size at 6" or so, and approx half the size of the original Stanley #97 chisel plane.  This plane is designed to be used for cleanup and final finishing in corners and so forth and works well for those applications.  This example was bought over 15 years ago and has never been used.   It comes with its box and a letter from the pre4sident describing its usefulness and features.     Different!!

NOS / EXC. . . . . . . $140.00          SOLD!

Lie Nielsen #1 Size Brass Smooth Plane This #1 size 5 1/2" long smooth plane is complete w/ the original box and receipt from the early 90's. This #1 size bronze plane was never used and was bought as a collectible that it is. The collector was buying the Lie Nielsen planes offered on this page as collectibles and most of his Lie Nielsen planes have never been used.    The detailing on this one is nice and everyth9ing is correct.  A nice little plane!!

NOS / EXC. . . . . . . $195.00           SOLD!
