Birmingham "Finger" Block Plane This is a very hard to find miniature block plane by the famous CT plane maker.  The condition is super..

Good + . . . . .  $250.00       SOLD

The Green Machine  I am not sure if there has ever been a patent found for this interesting plane, but it was a manufactured and  advertised piece as I have seen ads for it in early building and trade magazines.   It was designed to flatten out door gains, and the extensions were to facilitate its use on a variety of different size doors.  This example is near mint and shows little if any signs of use.  Well over 90% of the Green finish remains, and the grind on the cutter appears to be original.  An interesting an quite uncommon piece.  

Good + . . . . .  $395.00       SOLD

Union #22 Transitional Smooth Plane   This is a nice looking plane with good wood and a nice sole.   The paint is original and good.  A tough plane to find.

Good + . . . . .  $65.00       SOLD

Worrall's Patent Transitional Plane   This plane was offered in a few different sizes.  This is the longer skinnier model and one of the harder to find.  The condition is nice.

Good  . . . . .  $295.00       SOLD

Challenge Jointer Plane   The patent for this unusual is from just before the turn of the century, and they were marketed through Tower & Lyon.    They were only made for a few short years and in in limited supply as evidenced by the scant number of times they appear on the market.   Roger Smith put forward the speculation that they were probably produced in one run in 1899, and that they are quite rare.  I am not sure of 1 production run as ones can be  marked differently.   They are scarce and hard to find none the less. 

The upper loop supporting the adjuster is the weak point of the design but this one is damage free.

2 Patented Challenge Planes   These are a hard to find and interesting patented plane.  The patent is from just before the turn of the century, and they were marketed through Tower & Lyon.    They were only made for a few short years and in in limited supply as evidenced by the scant number of times they appear on the market.   Roger Smith put forward the speculation that they were probably produced in one run in 1899, and that they are quite rare.  I am not sure of 1 production run as ones can be  marked differently.   They are scarce and hard to find none the less. 

Both of these examples have been repainted.  The upper loop supporting the adjuster is the weak point of the design and I think these have been braised / repaired in this area at some point and repainted to make them look better.  Given the paint job I can not really see the repair, but the texture and look in this area looks different on both.  Perhaps that was by design, but I doubt it.

Metallic Plane Co. Auburn NY # 9 Block Plane W/ Tailed Cap  This is a rare version of one of this companies block planes.  I have never seen or had one with the cast iron tail piece intact.  The example in Roger Smith's  book on the subject has a brass cap which although he fails to identify as being a recast most likely is.  I looked through a stack of auction catalogs, and there are the wooden wedge varieties offered, or occasionally ones with a wooden block attached to the top of the cutter, but none of the #9 with the cast tail that I could find.   The only other one I have had had the tail broken off, and I was never able to locate a replacement

The condition is fine overall.  The cutter is properly marked and so is the side of the plane.  There is 80% or better of the original japanning except on the tail as would be expected.

Good + . . . . .  $750.00       SOLD

Langdon Miter Box Co 3 1/2" Shoot Board Plane   This is an interesting plane / tool.  Langdon was located in Millers Falls Mass.  They came in three sizes I believe, and this is the middle size one with the cutter measuring 3 1/2 inches across the face.  I have not owned one of these in close to 20 or so years and tripped over that one at a flea market in KY in the good old days of driving around in circles trying to turn up things.  I never saw it and literally tripped over it going all the way down as I was scanning the next booth.  I  had no idea what it was and had never seen one before.   I inspected it for a while while rubbing my shin and I did end up buying it.  I sold that one to the fellow who owned this one.  I remember because after I sold him mine he wanted me to take it back because it turned out to be the same size as this one. 

That being said I have no real idea if this ones paint is original or not. I am guessing not with that bright green, but really do not know.  It was carefully done, and the red and gold seem proper, but that shade green sure is a new one on me.  I looked it over pretty good, and it is not hiding any welds or repairs that I can see.  The cutters appear to be pretty sharp, and the sole of the plane clean.   The adjustable table swings easily.

Good + . . . . .  $975.00       SOLD

Langdon Miter Box Co 4" Shoot Board Plane   Same as above but nicer and one size larger

Good + . . . . .  $1250.00       SOLD

Patented Buckeye # 5 Jack Plane (D E #5)   This plane is a pretty hard to find patented plane.  The cutter is marked with the distributers name Norvell / Shapleigh, and their logo.  The bed is marked D E 5 for Diamond Edge which was also one of the logos they used.  The bed is also marked with the patent dates identifying this as a Buckeye that was first patented right after the turn of the century.  Roger Smith mentions in his book that these were originally made by an outfit in Ohio that made vices.  Near the end they also carried the DE designation, and that the 14" #5 size was only made for Shapleigh.  It is in overall nice condition.  Interesting.
