Stanley Type 2 # 110 Block Plane Faint but proper cutter stamp. Front knob replaced? No damage and Nice!!

Good + . . . . . $175.00 SOLD!!

Stanley Type 2 #110 Block Plane w/ Shoe Buckle Cap The 110 block plane was first offered in 1875. The first model had slightly different side rail profiles. This is a type 2 and was only offered for a year or so before Stanley made major changes to the design doing away with the Shoe Buckle cap. The collectors tag stuck inside the body of this indicates he bought it from Roger Smith back in the 70's. That is over 40 years ago.

The condition is very nice. The shoe buckle cap is damage free. The front knob is so nice I am guessing it might be a replacement, but do not know. A hard to find early and rare block plane in very nice condition.

Good + . . . . .$395.00 SOLD!

Stanley Type 3 Excelsior Style 9 1/2 Block Plane w/ Etch A early and rare Stanley block plane I wish was in a bit nicer condition. You can see traces of the Bailey Imp etch on the side. The main apology is the throat chip. After that is is actually pretty nice. It is what it is.

I had one of these probably 40 years ago with a good etch and sold it at a tool meeting for a bit of a premium over a typical one, but also a bit under the money. Watched Dave Paling sell it later in the day for $2500 with an tail added. Another lesson learned.

Good - . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!!

Good + . . . . . $60.00 SOLD!!

Stanley # A 18 Block Plane Stanley made these planes during the mid 20's after Aluminum became a plentiful and cheap material to use. They are cute, lighter than their cast iron counterparts, and certainly harder to find as they were only made for about 10 years or so. It was a poor choice of material, and they never really caught on with the buying consumer. The scratched easily, and they sometimes develop a rusting / rot This one has some light scratches in the sole and a few surface black spots that will clean. A pretty nice example.
