2 Patented Center Head Combo Tools  Tough to find these have been in the collection for 20 -30 years.   The smaller one I believe a Standard Tool Co. example.  The blade is marked Standard Tool Co. Athol.  It is a 2 piece affair that was pinned together.  The tag on it indicates it came from Roger Smith back in 1979. 

The larger one has a later Brown and Sharpe 12" blade in it. I believe it was made by Standard Tool Co as well.  It too is a two piece design that was pinned together. These are an interesting combination tool---a try and mitre square, center finder, depth gauge, and more.

Standard Tool Co. Center Head / Square  Another version w/ original rule.   

Good + ........ $125.00    SOLD!

The Standard Take-Down Framing Square The copperized finish on this framing square was an upgrade option that Southington offered and not many people choose as this is the first one that I have seen.  It is simply marked "The Standard" and is in excellent condition.  The canvas case did its job, and is a bit tattered looking.  The 101 model according to the small pocket catalog that is included also offered their patented rafter tables that their 100 model did not.  Very Nice!!

St. Johnsbury Patented Bevel   Mr. I. J. Robinson of St. Johnsbury VT,  is known as the premier maker of bevels, squares and other measuring tools for the woodworking and machinist trades,  and pulled the patent for this design bevel on June 14th 1870.  There were none finer to be had during his day, and his line of tools remain today one of the favorites of the old tool collecting crowd.  This example has some light pitting on the 6" blade, but the 4" body and the rosewood infill are in super condition.  The name and patent info on the body are clear and strong.  A Mr. A. Young has carefully and tastefully stamped his name into the rosewood for an added nice touch.   A nice example.

Good+ ....... $395.00      SOLD

Smith Patent Combination Square / Bevel  This is a pretty rare tool in the scheme of things.  Designed for roof framing and other associated tasks where more than one angle or bevel was needed at a time.  The patent info is on the handle, and the aluminum body is pretty nice noting one casting flaw on the bottom right.   

Good . . . . . .  $395.00       SOLD

Kenny's Patent Marking Gauge Pat Jan 4th 1870 This interesting piece is unmarked, as they all are, but it is a well known and very desirable patented tool from the 19th century.  Typically they have a Rosewood and Boxwood head, but this version has two boxwood ones.  As is often the case, these heads are both cracked, and one has been glued.  It is still operational and looks OK as is.  The brass rod is in super condition and has never been cleaned or abused.  Ready as is to be used, or with a simple restoration, this could be a highlight.  

Good+ ..... $225.00     SOLD

12" St Johnsbury Machinist Square This is a prime example of a true masterpiece of workmanship and skill from a different era.  There is no damage, rust pitting or other flaws.  An unusual square, in an unusual size and in unusually nice condition.

Good+ ... $295.00  SOLD






Fisher 1868 Patent Combination Bevel / Gauge This bevel w/ readable degree gauge is in nice condition. The small thumbscrews are original and the blade and scales are nice.  The Rosewood body is very nice, and the screws are not damaged.  The patent info is on the brass arch.  These are a hard to find tool in this nice condition and turn up only occasionally.

Good +  .......... $ 595.00     SOLD!

Goodell Pratt #340 Clapboard / Siding Gage Here is a tool you use to see from time to time.  They are also a tool that everyone use to ask what is that.  I imagine if you handed one to a Vinyl siding guy today he would not have a clue.  For making a perfect cut up next to the window trim or corner boards.  Today they run that piece over the siding. I have never seen either Goodell Pratt's or Stanley's version in the box before.  A rare example.

Flossie Greenleaf Walking Wheel Log Caliper & Wheeled Rule   Log Calipers are a large and very graphic piece of Americana & American ingenuity. They were a tool that lumbermen of the Northeast used routinely in the field or at the mill to determine how much lumber the lumber mill could expect to get out of a downed tree.  The idea was that you walked the length and kept track of the rotation count of the wheel to determine the length of the tree.  You took this number and after determining the width computed out the bd. ft. volume you could expect after milling said tree using the charts on the sides of the stick or caliper.  There were a couple of different formulas available for this computation, and as can be expected, there was one that favored the buyer, and another the the sellers preferred.   Flossie Greenleaf a woman learned the trade from her father and was a well known and respected maker of rules and log calipers in New Hampshire.  The condition of the top one is super with just minor losses to the yellow wash finish.  One spoke on the wheel is an early replacement, but this is typical and was very well done.  A super piece.   The lower stick with a wheel is in very nice condition as well.  It is unmarked as to maker, but is of the same general time frame and quality of construction.

Good........ $1295.00      SOLD

W. Elliot English 4 Fold 3 Foot Folding Rule   This English Ivory Rule is in super nice condition.  It has scales on every available surface and edge, and shows little if any signs of use or abuse.  It has aged to a mellow white with some light yellowing on the outside legs.  A hard to find size ivory rule in hard to find condition.  A nice addition to any collection.

Good........ $695.00      SOLD

Stanley # 86 1/2 Ivory Architects Rule This is a very nice 2' 4 fold ivory rule.  It is straight and has its pins. The increment are not worn, and the edges are still square and crisp.  It has a nice mellow yellow patina / hue both inside and out.  This is a very nice example of a very hard to find ivory architects rule with its inside being beveled down for use with drawings.  They rarely turn up in this condition any more.
