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 No. 18 Sweetheart Era Knuckle Joint Cap Block Plane The 18 is from the 9 1/2 series of block planes and the same as a 9 1/2 with the difference being the knuckle joint cap that some users prefer. This one is pre WWII and pretty nice. Good throat, long cutter, no rust or pitting, no issues. Nice!!

Fine . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!!

Stanley # A 18 Aluminum Block Plane Stanley offered their entire line of Aluminum planes for less than 15 years and production ended in the mid to late 30s for all the different size Aluminum planes they made. They offered the A 18 for only 10 years 1925 - 1935. The aluminum was very soft prone to scratch. This example is pretty clean & nice!! To fill out the collection, iron models are much better users.

Good + . . . . . $70.00 SOLD!!

Stanley # 18 1/4 Block Plane Stanley offered this block plane for just 6 years between 1952 and 1958. It is a hard plane to find. It is basically a cross between a 9 1/4 w/o an adjustable front piece and a #18 with its knuckle joint cap. The number 18 1/4 is stamped on the side. The condition is very nice. All proper and ready for the collection or use.

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.

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.
