Sargent Woodworking Planes


Sargent & Co. 1894 Catalog 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 # 37 Skew Rabbet Plane in BoxSargent # 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!!

Sargent 407 (No. 2 Size) Smooth PlaneSargent 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. 

Good + . . . . . $150.00        SOLD!!










Sargent 707 Auto Set Smooth PlaneSargent 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.

Good + . . . . . . $595.00         SOLD!!





Sargent 507 Rabbet Block PlaneSargent 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 . . . . . $195.00      SOLD!!







Sargent No. 714 Auto Set Jack PlaneSargent No. 714 Auto Set Jack Plane  Nice overall condition.  No issues.  All proper.  Nice enough for the collection, or tune it up and go.  Nice!!

Sargent Shaw Patent # 7 C (#2) Corrugated Bottom Smooth PlaneSargent 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.    

Fine . . . . . $700.00    SOLD!!





Sargent 2204 Block Plane w/ Steel Body Sargent 2204 Block Plane w/ Steel Body This little plane is a favorite with users.  With its folded steel design it is near indestructible. Works well and is easy to use.    It is in great condition.   Nice!!

Fine . . . . . . $50.00     SOLD!!








# 100 Tailed Block PlaneSargent 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!!

Good + . . . . . $30.00           SOLD!!







Sargent #407 (#2) Smooth PlaneSargent #407 (#2) Smooth Plane  This is a pretty nice example.  The cap is marked VBM for Very Best Made.  The Mahogany tote has been glued, is solid, and looks OK.  Nice long proper cutter.    Nice enough. 

Good + . . . . . $150.00     SOLD!!









Sargent # 22 C (7 size) Shaws Patent Corrugated Jointer Plane 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.  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 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 # 18 (6 size) Shaw's Patent Fore PlaneSargent # 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. 

Good + . . . . . $125.00       SOLD!!

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 422 VBM / Very Best Made Jointer PlaneSargent 422 C VBM / Very Best Made Corrugated Bottom Jointer Plane   Great condition.  90% or better of the original japanning.  The proper 422 C marked cutter is full length and nice.  Good wood.  No rust pitting or other damage.  Note that the lever cap is marked Sargent VBM According to the type study for Sargent planes this would date from right around 1910.  A very nice example of a hard to find jointer plane.  It will make for a great user, or add it to the collection.    

Fine . . . . . $95.00      SOLD!!









Sargent Type 2  # 418 Fore PlaneType 2 Sargent # 418 Fore Plane   Nice condition.  The proper marked cutter is nice.  OK rosewood.  Minor rust or pitting and no other damage.  The lateral is stamped with the patent date.   Type 2's date from 1890's to 1901 and had the unusual horseshoe style lateral that was later dropped.   A very nice example of a hard to find early Sargent bench plane.  It will make for a great user, or add it to the collection.

Good + . . . . . $150.00     SOLD!!









Sargent # 81 Side Rabbet PlaneSargent # 81 Side Rabbet Plane   This interesting little plane is in very nice condition. They are quite useful for cleaning up rabbets.    It is set up a bit different from the Stanley #79 side Rabbet.  Nice!!

Sargent # 9 (4 size) Shaws Patent Smooth PlaneSargent # 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.   This example is very nice and is in top collector condition suitable for the shelf or use.  Nice!!! 

Fine . . . . . $125.00       SOLD!!






Sargent # 10 (4 1/2 size) Shaws Patent Smooth PlaneSargent # 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.

Sargent T & G PlanesSargent 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 "Lady Bug" Rabbet & Dado PlaneSargent # 1508 1/2 "Lady Bug" Rabbet & Dado Plane This 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 PlaneSargent 507 Rabbet Block Plane This Sargent 507 rabbet plane is in nice condition.  90% of the original jappaning or better. Some nickel loss to the cap  Good cutter, no damage, no apologies.  Sargent's answer to the Stanley skew cut #140 rabbet.  Much more fragile.   A handy and useful tool.  Ready for the shelf or bench.

Good . . . . .$ 225.00        SOLD











Zenith Marshall Well # 409 (4 Size) Smooth Plane "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. 

Good +  . . . . . $55.00       SOLD!!








Zenith Shaw's Patent #4 Size Smooth Plane by SargentZenith 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 1080 Combination PlaneSargent 1080 Combination Plane in Box   This is complete and pretty nice. A couple of the cutters were modified, but most are like new in their original canvas roll.

Good + .  . . . $130.00      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

Good . . . . .$ 225.00       SOLD

Sargent #407 (#2 Size) Smooth Plane 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 # 722 Tilt Knob Jointer PlaneSargent # 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. 

Good + . . . . .$ 225.00             SOLD







3 Sargent Scrub Planes 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 #407 Smooth Plane w/ Brass Name PlaqueSargent #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. 

Good+ . . . . .$ 375.00        SOLD!







Sargent #29 Rabbit PlaneSargent #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. 

Fine . . . . . .$ 275.00        SOLD!






Sargent #407 (#2) Smooth PlaneSargent #407 (#2) Smooth Plane  This looks OK.  The handle has been glued and refinished,.   The front knob is Rosewood and not Mahogany like the handle.  Otherwise it looks right.

Good + . . . .$ 150.00         SOLD!!







Sargent Auto Set # 707 (#2) Smooth PlaneSargent 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. 

Fine . . . . . $150.00       SOLD!!






Marshall Wells / Zenith Z - 2 C Smooth PlaneMarshall Wells / Zenith 2 C Corrugated Bottom Smooth Plane  This is a very nice example of a hard to find #2 size plane.  Zenith planes were made for Marshall Wells, a large Midwest distributer out of Duluth Minn. by Sargent.  They were only made for about 15 years in the 1920's - 1930's.    The Zenith etched logo is very clear on both side rails as well as the cutter stamp.  There is no pitting or damage.  The japanning is well over 90%.  Nice wood.  A super hard to find plane in top shelf collector condition

Fine . . . . . $495.00       SOLD!!
