Stanley Four Square Junior Jack Plane  Overall condition is very nice. Tastefully cleaned. The 4 Square 5 1/4 size jack plane was offered from the 1920s - 1930 and aimed at the casual user. It is the same as a typical 5 1/4 and was offered in several finishes during its short life span. Nice!!

Good + . . . . . $75.00            SOLD!!

Stanley 1105 Victor Jack Plane  This Victor Jack Plane is near mint. Finding them this nice is a rare occurrence, these days, even if the plane itself is not all that rare. Stanley introduced the "Late" Victor line of planes during the height of the depression, and ended production with the start of WWII. Perfect for the collection, or perhaps today's casual user.

Fine . . . . . $45.00      SOLD!!

Stanley S 4 Steel Smooth Plane This is a pretty nice example of a Stanley S 4 first introduced in 1925. This line of planes made of folded steel as opposed to cast iron was produced up to 1942 and the start of WWII. This example with rivets is an earlier version. It has a Sweetheart era cutter in it, and a nice decaled Rosewood handle.

There has been losses to the japanning as is typical. No structural issues. Very light pitting as is also typical. Nice enough for the collection, or a good user!!

  Good + . . . . . $95.00           SOLD!!

Stanley # S4 Steel Smooth Plane  Stanley introduced there line of steel planes in the mid 20's when they stopped making the liberty bell line of planes.  They offered them in the number 4 size, as well as the number 5 and a high angle block plane, and a high angle denoted as the S18.    They were only made for 15 or so years.  They were aimed at schools, and for applications where there was a likelihood of them being dropped as the steel body would not crack or break like the cast iron counterpart.   A nice plane that will be a great user or is nice enough for the shelf

Good +  . . . . . .$95.00       SOLD!

Stanley S4 Steel Smooth Plane Stanley first started offering this model plane in 1926, and ended production with the beginning of WWII in 1941.  Meant for use in locals such as schools or manual training classes where damage was likely to occur if dropped as the steel sides would not crack or break.   As is typical there is not much paint left.  Front knob looks to be a replacement, and there is a bit of loss to the top of the rear handle.  The rest is OK.      

Good  . . . . . $95.00     SOLD!!

Stanley Two Tone # OH 4 Smooth Plane The condition of this unusual variation on the theme is about as nice as one could ask for.  Stanley offered their line of Two -Tone Planes first in 1941, and again in 1951 at national hardware conventions.  Not sure how they marketed them after that, or where.  No doubt an appeal to the eye of the new buyer consumer Stanley was aiming for.  America's Happy Homeowner / Weekend Warrior. The only place they are marked Stanley is on the cutter.

It would be a real challenge to collect all the different colors these came in. Here is a good start for the collection.

Fine  . . . . . $40.00        SOLD!!

Stanley S4 Steel Smooth Plane  Same as above w/ a bit more pitting.  Stanley introduced their line of steel planes in 1926 and production ended with the start of WWII in 1942.  This is an earlier model with rivets.  As is typical there is missing paint and some pitting as the steel bodies were prone to.  Less prone to damage if dropped.  This one survived with intact handle and knob.  A pretty nice example. 

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

Stanley # 104  Liberty Bell Steel Smooth Plane  The #104 was first issued in 1876 to commemorate the Centennial.  It was discontinued in 1919 after the war.  WWI that is.  It has a steel body.  From the cutter logo we can assume this is a type 2 and dates from before 1907.  It has been tastefully, and carefully cleaned and rehabbed.  It looks great.

Stanley # A 5 Aluminum Jack Plane  This A 5 Jack Plane dates from the mid 20's to mid 30's.  It has a great rosewood handle and is in overall very nice condition.  There are not any deep scratches or other problems.  It is all original and very nice.  These Aluminum planes are more a collectible in most peoples mind for several reasons.  They are lighter, softer, and prone to scratches.  Improper storage will result in "rot".  A nice example for the collection!!

Good + . . . . .  $145.00     SOLD!!

3 Stanley Aluminum Bench Planes  Stanley made and sold a few different Aluminum planes and other tools back in the 20's and 30's.  They made an aluminum version of the #18 block plane, the  #78 and the #45, some levels, a brace, as well as these three different size bench planes, the A4, the A5,  & the A6.  

Each of these planes is pretty nice with no major detractions.  They are quite soft, and can oftentimes be found with deep scratches in the soles or sides, but these 3 examples are pretty nice.  Each has been fitted with one of Stanley's aftermarket aluminum handles that were typically offered separately.   I suppose the collector felt they better represented the flavor of the aluminum planes and he probably swapped them out just for the look.

Left #A4 ..... Good . . . . . $100.00    SOLD!

The cutter is full length.   It is nice with some minor nickel losses. A tough plane to find anymore.  Especially in this nice condition.   

Fine  . . . . . .$125.00       SOLD!

Stanley A #6 Aluminum Fore Plane  The Stanley A 6 is a tough plane to in this nice condition.  It is all proper, correct and very nice.  They were offered for lees than 15 years back in the 20's and 30's and were never popular with users.  To light, to soft, and prone to damage.  Stanley sales pitch of rustless did not impress the potential buyers. 

Fine . . . . . . .$125.00       SOLD!!

Stanley Gage G 3 C Corrugated Bottom Smooth Plane Stanley introduced this line of metal bodied planes after buying out the Gage Tool Co of Vineland NJ in about 1919.  They were meant to compete with the line of planes known as Auto Sets that Sargent was putting onto the market.  Given the G3 Designation, and the patent info cast into the bed, this would be considered a ype 3 dating from the 1930's.  They were never a great success with the user crowd of the day given you could buy a Bedrock for about the same money.   Overall nice condition.
