Stanley # 9 Cabinet Makers Low Angle Miter Plane w/ Hot Dog Handle  The #9 miter plane was known as Stanley's piano maker or cabinet makers plane.  It is a low angle miter plane designed for fine finish work and when properly tuned and set up will produce a fine finish. 

This example is damage free, and has a nice even dark patina with no rust or pitting.  Almost all of the original japanning is still on the interior surfaces. They are often damaged around the adjuster area at the rear, but this one is nice and damage free.  The hot dog side handle is original and not a knockoff.   Look at the halo it has left on the side of the plane when removed in the other pics.  The throat is nice, and there is lots of life left in the cutter.  It also has the proper long neck lever cap.   A nice example of a hard to find plane.

Good + . . . . . $1295.00     SOLD!!

Stanley # 9 Cabinet Makers / Piano Makers Low Angle Miter Plane This is an earlier  and longer version of the # 9 miter plane.  Note the longer tail and front piece than on the one above or other later examples.  The #9 miter plane was known as Stanley's piano makers or cabinet makers plane.  It is a low angle miter plane designed for fine finish work and when properly tuned and set up will produce a fine finish. 

This example has been carefully lapped and is damage free.  Almost all of the original japanning is still on the interior surfaces. These planes are often damaged around the adjuster area at the rear, but this one is nice and damage free.  The throat is nice and there is lots of life left in the cutter.  It also has the proper long neck solid lever cap.   A nice example of a hard to find plane.  Nice!!

Good +. . . . .  $895.00     SOLD!!

Stanley # 193 Fiber Board Plane   Stanley only made this plane for 10 years or so before WWII and the advent of sheetrock ended its production run.  That fact did not change its appeal value or desirability(lack of) as a collectible.  It has a beautiful period Rosewood handle, and lots of other good spare parts.  There are about 1/2 dozen or more cutters, not shown, as well.  Nice!!

Good + . . . . . . . $85.00          SOLD!!

Stanley # 20 Compass Plane  This Stanley compass plane has seen little if any use.  There is some light rust on the steel sole on the inside.  It will clean.  The japanning is near perfect and the cutter full length with original grind.  The owner put his intials on one side.  Few nicer!!  Nice.

# 71 - - - - Good  . . . . . $75.00     SOLD!!

Stanley # 11 1/2 Floor Plane  This unusual plane was made for less than 15 years back at the beginning of the 1900's.  It looks great, and sports a new coat of paint or enhancement of the original paint.  The 11 1/2 Floor Plane is very similar in design to the #11 with the main difference being the longer front piece.  They were originally intended for the surfacing of hardwood floors.  They are used today in furniture making.   Hard to find!!  

Good +  . . . . .$ 95.00        SOLD!

Early Stanley / Bailey # 13 Compass Plane  I do not seem to be able to find a type study for the #13 plane and so do not know exactly where this fits into the scheme of things.  It is not a type 1 as the folding strips on those have a different design.  It does have a solid nut w/o the Bailey name on it, and it has a solid cap.  The cutter and chip breaker have Bailey patent info on them.  I assume those features would make it an early type 2 or so.  It is dirty, and where the sole attaches at the front has some issues as can be seen in the pics.  Probably a pretty rare version of this plane that will clean to look more presentable for the collection.

Good  . . . . .$ 65.00       SOLD!

Stanley # 20 Compass Plane  The #20 compass plane is the compass plane of choice for most users.  This one is like new and is ready to go back to work.   Very nice!!

Stanley / Victor # 20 Compass Plane  This Stanley #20 was first offered in 1897 and came nickel plated.  After 1920 they were japanned.  This would be considered a type one.   The Stanley 20 1/2 was offered at the time the 20 was nickeled so you could buy a japanned version.  It was dropped after 1917 and WWI. and the 20 was then offered in a black japanned finish    The condition of this example is good w/ minor losses to the finish.  A favorite with users and ready to go back to work.

Good + . . . .$ 150.00         SOLD!!

Stanley # 20 Compass Plane  The Stanley #20 Compass plane is the favorite among users because of the heftiness and design of the plane. The design was derived from Leonard Bailey's victor compass plane which Stanley bought the rights to.  This being a nickeled model would qualify it as a type 1 and dates it from before 1919.  They were japanned afterward.  There has been some nickel loss, but it is sound and ready to go back to work.

Type 8 A (1936 - 1939) Stanley # 113 Compass Plane   Minty nice, top shelf collector condition. The type 8 A had a floral design cap for the main bed adjuster knob.   The type 8 A was offered for only a few short years between 1936 & 1939 and is one of the hardest to find variants / types of the 113 plane to find.  Production for the #113 compass plane ended in 1942 with the advent of WWII so this dates from near the end of their production here in the US.  None nicer!!

Good   . . . . .  $195.00     SOLD!!

Stanley # 340 Furring Plane   This type plane were meant to be used much like the 40 & 40 1/2 for quickly removing a lot of stock in preparation for final milling.  The sole is very unusual where just the middle portion is meant to come into contact with the work.  The cutter looks proper, but is from a 62 or 64 with its slotted back meant for an adjuster which the 340 does not have.  Nice enough!!

Good . . . . .  $595.00       SOLD!!

Stanley # 56 Core Box Plane  The #56 Core Box plane is one of the hardest to find of the Stanly special use planes. The collector bought this from Iron Horse Tool Auctions and paid the hefty sum of $1260.00 back in the 80's.  A large amount to pay for any Stanley plane.

The condition is very nice with no rust, pitting, or damage to speak of.  The japanning does have some small pockmarks in it and a small area of some missing.  All in all a rare plane in nice condition that will make for a welcome addition to your collection.

Stanley # 146  SOLD!!   # 147 SOLD!! & #148 SOLD!! Tongue & Groove Planes   These three planes came from the same fitted box.  The plating on each is near perfect.  One has the original cutters, one has one original and one good replacement, and the 148 has two "blanks" which look to be cutters from a 45 and need to be sized to look proper.  A very nice grouping.  

Fine  . . . . . .$ 395.00 / Set   SOLD!!

Stanley # 48 T & G Tongue & Groove Plane  This an early example that would be referred to as a Type 1  It cuts a 5/16ths groove and can be used on boards from 3/4" to 1 1/4.  These early #48's were japanned, and this one is missing a lot of the original finish, but is not rusted or pitted.   To use you cut the tongue, and then swing the fence to cut the groove.  The cutters are nice.  It will make a good user.

Early Stanley # 48 Tongue & Groove Match Plane  This early example of a Stanley 48 has Miller's 7/6/75 patent date stamped into the bottom of the plane.

Stanley # 113 Compass Plane  The 113 is one of the best known, and easily recognizable of all Stanley special use planes.  The sole of this compass plane can be adjusted to a convex or concave curve with a simple turn of the front knob.  This example is from near the turn of the century and has a lateral adjuster that earlier versions did not.  It has a nice even patina, and shows some signs of use, but not abuse, and is ready to be put back into use.  A nice example.

Good + . . . . .$ 125.00       SOLD!

Stanley Second Model  # 113 Compass Plane  This 113 has the nickel wheel w/ 4 holes.  It is just a little dirty and has seen little use.   It is fully functional and pretty nice overall.  Everything is tight and proper and overall it is much nicer than the one above condition wise.  These early versions are much harder to find than the later ones.

Stanley 144 Edge Rounding Planes  Stanley made this style plane in three sizes for about 20 years leading up to WWII.  Each is in fine little used condition.  See Pics.  Nice!!  

Fine  . . . . . . $225.00 / Choice         $495.00 / Lot     SOLD!!

Stanley # 164 Low Angle Smooth Plane   This plane is in pretty nice condition. The Stanley 164 is considered one the the hardest to find of all planes that Stanley produced. They were introduced in 1926 and production or catalog listings ended with the beginning of WWII. Some have speculated that there was only one production run and it was offered over the next 25 or so years till that supply ran out.

The adjusting mechanism is vertical and very tricky to get to operate, a factor that probably held back sales and plays a factor in its limited availability and super rarity. The cutter on this one is the rectangular block, thus dating it from after 1936 and near the end of the offering. The handle finish is original with losses and could stand to be refinished.   The front knob is nice. The japanning is approx. 70%  with losses both at the front and around the handle. The sides are nice, and the sole has been lapped and looks good. The throat area is nice.  A rare plane at a reasonable price!!

Good + . . . . . . $1295.00   SOLD!!

Stanley #164 Low Angle Plane   The 164 low angle plane was offered for less than 20 years and as with many of Stanley special use planes production ended with the coming of WWII.  This rare Stanley low angle plane is in good overall condition noting the grind marks on the sole and the missing jappaning. It is basically damage free and useable as it sits but would look much better if lapped and repainted.    It would be a choice candidate for a restoration and is priced accordingly.   

Good   . . . . . .  $1250.00     SOLD!!

Stanley # 340 Furring Plane   One of the more unusual and hard to find planes that Stanley offered.  An interesting design that was offered for just 12 years ending in 1917 with the US entry into WWI.  The original condition is very nice and with its Pat Appl'd For cutter would be considered a Type 1.  It looks to have been hardly used.  Condition, condition, condition.   A rare plane ready for the collection.

Fine . . . . .  $895.00   SOLD!!

Stanley #444 Dovetail Plane  The Stanley #444 dovetail plane is one of the oddest planes made by Stanley. They can cut both halves of dovetails.  You can watch this being done on You Tube.  It was offered for a little over 25 years beginning in 1912. This example is in its original box that is a bit rough.  It has all 4 original cutters, and both spur blocks.   I do not see any damage, welds, or pitting, but there has been some nickel loss.

Good + . . . . .$695.00    SOLD!!
