Stanley
Millers Patent # 41 Rabbet and Fillister Plane This # 41 is OK but needs some restoration work performed.
First off it needs a handle as can be seen. The body is OK, but there is hardly
any original finish left and although it looks good as is, it will look better with
a japanning. The skate is lightly pitted but you can make out the logo there.
The fillister bed is OK and the nicker is there, but short.. It has light
pitting on the sole as well. The wrap around fence is OK. Again there
is little finish, but no breaks or damage. The outside fence does have a crack
along the fence and is missing both of its screws. It is a project plane that
has potential.

# 46 Skew Rabbit Plane This # 46 dates
from near the turn of the century. There is a slitter, and the original box of cutters
is nice with no rust or problems. The owner made box is included.
The nickel plating is 90% or better. It will make a good user.

is nice with no rust or problems. The owner made box is included.

/ depth stop as well.Good . . . . . $295.00 SOLD
Stanley
#41 Millers Patent Plow Plane w/ Fillister
and Cutters Here is a very nice example of this increasingly
popular and difficult to find plane. It merely needs a careful light cleaning
to make it a showpiece. The handle is nice, as is the finish on the body.
The wood is good and the patent info on it is clear and strong. The brass
parts have a nice patina, have not been rounded or otherwise abused, and the knurling
is all nice. The skate is not pitted to speak of, and exhibits a nice patina
as well. Included are both the outside fence and the wrap around iron inner
fence. The very hard to find fillister bed is here as well, although it is
missing one of the mounting screws and the nicker. The pictures show only
seven cutters, but there are 8 as I left the 1/8" laying on the table and it is
included. There are two different depth stops, one being the heavy brass one
up front and the rear one is the steel version. It does need two replacement
screws for the fence, but these are available these days at a reasonable expense.
A great piece to add to the collection high up on the shelf.
Good . . . . . $1295.00 SOLD
Stanley #41 Type 3 Combination Plow
PlaneThis Stanley #41 is in very nice condition. It is a very
early model and has original split screws that are nice as well. There has
been one professional repair done to the tip of the tote. There is some very
light pitting on various parts but overall this is a super example of a very nice
plane that includes the fillister bed and 8 cutters.
Good . . . . . $1850.00 SOLD
Stanley #41 Millers Patent Plow Plane
The Stanley Millers Patent series of Combination Plow and Fillister plane are one
of the most graphically good looking and sought after of all manufactured woodworking
planes that was ever produced. This example is some light overall pitting
on the skate, but the 2 line logo is readable. The outside fence is not included
and the fillister is missing. All in all a nice example of a very beautiful
and difficult plane to find.

Stanley

popular and difficult to find plane. The handle is nice, and the finish
on the body approaches 90% or more. The wood is good and the SW logo on the
skate is clear and strong. The skate is not pitted. Included is the
outside fence. It is missing the second bullnose front, and there is no Fillister
bed. There are two different depth stops, one being the heavy cast one up
front and the rear one is the steel version. The slitter is present.
There are no cutters. A great piece to add to the collection.
Good . . . . . $395.00 SOLD
Stanley
#42 Type 4 Millers Patent Plow Plane
The Stanley #42 Combination Plow and Fillister plane is one of the most graphically
good looking and sought after of all manufactured woodworking planes that was ever
produced. First introduced in 1870 this prime example exhibits traits that
indicate that it is a Type 3A or 4 and dates from about 1875 or 1876.
It is just slightly later than the other example of a #42 plane that I have listed
above. It is also in slightly nicer condition as evidenced by the very
nice original finish Rosewood long horn handle and lack of any appreciable pitting
or corrosion on the skate or fillister bed. The wrap around fence is
super and fits perfectly. All screws are nice and show just normal amounts
of wear. These beautiful and graphic planes with their gunmetal (bronze) bodies,
and superb looks and design are a testament to the craftsmanship and taste of our
early toolmakers and to those craftsmen who used them and the work that they turned
out. This is one of the nicer examples of this very beautiful and highly
desirable and collectible planes that I have ever had the pleasure to offer.
A winner that belongs on the top shelf of every serious tool collection.

Stanley
#42 Millers Patent Plow Plane
This Stanley #42 Combination Plow and Fillister plane needs some attention and a
few parts to make it complete. That is reflected in the price.

Stanley
#45 Combination Plow Plane This Stanley #45 is one of those where
the cutters are in a sweetheart box, and the box and plane are marked a bit
later. This is typical. This one has a few minor spots of corrosion,
but like many from this era, saw little if any use. The #18 1/2 cutter is missing,
but the rest is all here, as are the slitter, cam, short and long rods, etc.
Overall it looks great. No instructions.

Stanley #45 Combination Plow Plane
in Green Box Stanley #45's are a dime a dozen and readily available.
Finding one this early in its original box is a rare occasion. This is a different
situation and few # 45's combination planes are known in their original boxes from
this early or this period. This is approx. a type 4 and dates from the period
from 1890-1892 when Stanley first began to nickel plate this line of planes.
It appears it sat on a shelf for 100 or so years as the cutters show no evidence
of ever having been used. A rare piece to find in the box!!
Good . . . . . $1095.00 SOLD

Cutters in Box This plane is in Good+ condition. It has 52+ cutters

is OK noting the spill on the top. There are no instructions.

Stanley
#55 Combination Plow Plane in Original Box This is the nicest example of one of these
that I have had in 15 years. It has only been removed from the
brown waxed paper to inspect the parts. It is truly mint, and I
doubt it has ever touched a blade to wood. It is one of the last
models produced by Stanley before they finally ended production of this
plane in the 60"s. Sometimes these unused planes exhibit rust or
problems from improper storage, but that is not the case here.
This plane is dead mint with 100% shinny Nickel plating everywhere.
The cutters are bright and shinny as well.. The box is nice as
well noting the area of the label missing on the front.

I do not believe
that you will ever see a nicer example, so if you have the right place
to store it and are looking for a collector quality top shelf example of
a 55 plane, look no further.
