Phillips Patent Plow Plane
w/ 8 Cutters
This is a very nice patented plow plane that is in overall excellent condition. Russell Phillips was first
granted the patent for this design plane in 1867. He hailed from Gardiner, Maine.
He was later issued a couple more patents for improvements to the design.
His later improved models look completely different from this and more like a Mayo's
patent. This is one of the earlier models of the original design that was offered before the
"improved" version was introduced in about 1871.
Note the original Rosewood handle and graceful horn. It has a small owners stamp that reads D. O. Card. 8 cutters are included counting the T & G installed in it. The depth stop is present. A fine example that deserves a place in any collection focused on patented metallic planes of the 19th century. Different, Unusual and Nice!!

Phillips Patent
"Improved" Plow Plane

Plane. Russell Phillips was first

earlier "box" style planes and more like a Mayo's patent. This
"improved" version was introduced in about 1871.

Walker
Patent Plow Plane This is a crazy
design for a plow plane. It has a series of metal plates that can be
shifted to different positions to conform to the wood and the the 15 cutters
that were provided. I bet it was not a popular item. Edwin
walker is also known for his patented ice cream scoop, and for holding the
patent on one of the most well designed and popular corkscrews.

The condition of this example is wonderful. Note the original Rosewood handle

facilitate tightening it, it should be round but has been squared off to allow for
a better grip. The rest of the plane is original and very nice.
A fine example that deserves a place in any collection focused on Patented metallic
planes of the 19th century. It is a winner. Super!!

nice. There are no cutters.

Phillips Patented Improved
Plow Plane This is one of the later models by the same name
as the plane above. This example is marked on all the parts #66 which I assume
is the assembly #. Overall the condition is good with some of the decoration
and highlights still remaining on portions. The fence does not seem to want
to tighten on the rod properly, but I did not fuss with it. The small depth
stop and screw for it are missing.

Pattern
Makers Plane This is a nice set. The plane itself has the early
look of an English Spiers, Norris or Mathieson style plane. Most of the 11
cutters are marked Buck Brothers. A couple have been replaced. The 11
bottoms lock on in the rear on a dovetail as can be seen, and through the front
handle in front. A nice example.

Mayo's
Improved Patented Plow Plane This unusual patented plane
Is most commonly referred to as a Mayo's Patent, but is also known as "The Boss
Plane" which is cast into the side as well as the patent information. This
plane went through a series of design changes during its few short years of manufacture,
and this is one of the last variations. Several people marketed it and Mayo was
the final owner of the rights and patent. One of the nicest features if that
the name Mayo is spelled out in script on the brass or gunmetal screws. Earlier
versions are known as the Phillips Patent Plow, and were marketed by Babson and
Reppelier of the Boston Tool Co.

Mayo
Patent "The Boss" Plow Plane
Here is a very nice
Mayo's Improved Patented Plow Plane. The last patent for this plow plane was issued in
1875 and that date can be found on the plane in two areas. The skate is marked
and the fence are both marked with the date. The name "The
Boss Plane is cast into the body near the front, and he name Mayo is
spelled out in script on the brass or gunmetal screws. A very
nice touch.This type or style plow plane went through a series of design changes during its few short years of manufacture, and this is one of the last variations. Several people marketed this style plane and Mayo was the final owner of the rights and patent. Earlier versions are known as the Phillips Patent Plow, and were marketed by Babson and Reppelier of the Boston Tool Co. All of this is explained in Roger Smiths PTAMPIA Vol 1 & 2.
The gold wash finish is approx 80% and there is no pitting or other major problems. The one apology is the handle horn missing, and I am working on having that replaced as you look at this rare and magnificent piece of woodworking history. These planes have been know to go into the mid 4 figures with cutters and in no better condition. This is an opportunity that will not last long, and this plane is priced to sell.

Phillips Patent Plow Plane
w/ 8 Cutters
According to Roger Smiths Vol. 1 of PTAMPIA this would be an early model of
this plane. It has some characteristics of a later model given it has a
Rosewood handle. Note in one of the pics how the maker mark info on the skate
about it being a Phillips Plow plane has been over-stamped with different info
and Harlow a different maker name. Smith discusses this marking, but it
would seem there is
additional research to be done as there is little detail
explaining why this happened.The main body is in pretty nice condition. There is about 70% of the original black japanning, and some traces of the red highlighting. There is no damage to the casting or cracks in the weak areas. The Rosewood handle is pretty nice, and the delicate horn is nice. The fence rod is here, but the fence itself has gone missing.
Also there are 8 original cutters. Most are full length. There is some minor surface rust on a couple but it is not heavy, nor is there obvious pitting. The cutters alone are worth the money, and the plane is actually very nice. Opportunity!!

on the skate. The overall condition is nice. One of the rods is

A beautiful early example of one of Stanley's most sought after planes.
The type 3 #42 Millers Patent Gunmetal Plow Plane was only made for 1 year
in 1874 according to the type study in Walters Stanley Tool price guide.
The bronze wrap around fence is very nice. There is no fillister bed,

collar. It is the proper round head screw and proper 28 TPI thread. Overall good + condition. Nice!!

Millers Patent #42 Bronze Plow Plane w/ Fillister Bed
The Stanley Millers
Patent line of Combination Plow and Fillister planes is one of the most graphic,
good looking, and sought after of all manufactured patented woodworking planes.
First introduced by Stanley in 1870 this line of planes was offered for less than
30 years before being phased out in favor of the more popular and versatile Stanley
#45 / 55 series of combination planes. This is a #42 Bronze plow plane w/ iron fillister bed and one iron fence. The #41 & 42 came equipped with an iron Fillister Bed as this one has. It is missing its bronze wrap around fence. An iron wrap around fence from a #41 would fit and work. These planes originally came with 9 cutters, but are usually only found with 1 cutter as this one has. The overall condition is OK noting the typical shortened handle horn. An historically important plane that belongs on the shelf of every serious antique tool / plane collection.

# 42 Millers Patent Bronze / Gunmetal Plow Plane
This #42 Millers Patent plane is a type 3A dating
from 1875. The main observable differences from a type 3 are that the screws for the bronze
wrap around fence are now a one piece un-slotted style. The
round head cutter hold down thumbscrew keeps it from being a type 4 . It is a beautiful early
example of one of Stanley's most sought after planes. The bronze wrap
around fence is very nice. The plane is in overall good +

good looking and sought after of all manufactured woodworking planes that was ever
produced. First introduced in 1870 this prime example exhibits traits that
indicate that it is a Type 3A or 4 and dates from about 1875 or 1876.
It is just slightly later than the other example of a #42 plane that I have listed
above. It is also in slightly nicer condition as evidenced by the very
nice original finish Rosewood long horn handle and lack of any appreciable pitting
or corrosion on the skate or fillister bed. The wrap around fence is
super and fits perfectly. All screws are nice and show just normal amounts
of wear. These beautiful and graphic planes with their gunmetal (bronze) bodies,
and superb looks and design are a testament to the craftsmanship and taste of our
early toolmakers and to those craftsmen who used them and the work that they turned
out. This is one of the nicer examples of this very beautiful and highly
