Stanley # 54 PlaneStanley # 54 Rabbit & Dado Plane   This is a rare and unusual Stanley Plane.  The #54 Stanley were built on a Stanley #50 body, and then had a few changes made to them so Stanley could offer a "New" and different plane to the hungry consumer. 

This one is all proper with a correct fence, long & short rods, 8 cutters and the depth stop.  The japanning is near perfect, and there is little evidence this plane was ever used.  The 3/16ths cutter has some minor pitting, but the rest of the cutters are like new.  This plane has sat in an owner made wooden box for 50 + years and looks great.  A tough plane to find that has not been fiddled with or even used.  A good one!!

Excellent . . . . . . . $475.00    SOLD!!






Stanley # 54 Rabbit & Dado PlaneStanley # 54 Rabbit & Dado Plane   The Stanley #54 Rebating & Dado plane is one of the rarer and harder to find Stanley planes of this type.  It is basically a #50 with slight modifications.  In order to be proper the fence needs to be marked 54 as this ones is.   It was only made for about 13 years, and in very limited numbers.  What is here is all proper and original.  It is in very nice condition. This version has the blade adjuster so the cutters have a slot milled into the back.  That means that cutters from a later 50 will work and be proper.  There are 7 straight cutters as shown in the pic, and I have thrown in the #50 bead cutters I got with it as well.  Shown in the last pic.

Good +. . . . . . . $375.00     SOLD!!





Stanley # A 78 Aluminum Rabbet PlaneStanley # A 78 Aluminum Rabbet Plane  Stanley offered their line of Aluminum planes less than 15 years and production ended in the mid to late 30s for all the different size and model Aluminum planes they made.  Stanley made the aluminum 78 for just 10 years spanning 1925 - 1935.  The aluminum was very soft and they are prone to scratch. This example is pretty clean & nice!!  It has the proper and correct aluminum depth stop and fence, but the groove for it has been modified and does not look factory.  I tried to clean it up by hand, and it works OK, but looks nothing like a factory groove.
