Stanley
#40 Scrub Plane This is the nicest example
of Stanley's popular and versatile scrub plane that I have ever had. Note
the decal on the handle in the second picture. This one is equipped with the
optional straight cutter. No problems, and no disappointments here!
Excellent ........ $95.00 SOLD
Stanley
# 90 J USA Bull Nose Rabbit Plane The #90 J rabbit is 1" wide and 4" long. This
example is in nice condition. There is no damage or problems. It is
a USA model. Nice!
Good +........ $400.00 SOLD
Stanley
#147 Double Tongue and Groove This example
must date from during the Second World War and right near the end of its production
given the unusual finish scheme of partial japanning and partial nickeled finish.
The tops of the handles were nickeled, but most of this has flaked off. The
skate and up to the side of the base is also nickeled and this has about 85% remaining.
There is no casting damage or rust or pitting. One cutter is original and
the groove cutter is from a 45. Different and Nice!
Good +........ $225.00 SOLD
Stanley

# 340 Furring PlaneThe # 340 Furring
Plane is one of the rarest & most unusual planes that Stanley
ever produced, and this example is in super overall condition. These furring
planes were only produced for a short 12 year span (1905-1917) which was during
Stanley's period of near total dominance of the metallic plane and woodworking tool
market. They were continually developing and introducing many of the
rare and unusual specialty planes during this period, which was their heyday period
of plane manufacture and development. It was the coming of the new-fangled
electrical period and the start of the 1st World War that put an end to this period
in Stanley's colorful history, not a lack of ideas, or quality, or dissatisfaction
on their customers part. It was just a new era after the war, and they
were compelled to change with it, or fall behind, thus resulting in the short manufacturing
period of some very rare planes that they had developed. This example retains nearly
90% of its original but thin black japanned finish, even on the sole, and it is
rust or pit free on the exposed metal surfaces. The cutter is 5.5 inches long,
and is stamped Patent Ap'd For, along with the Stanley J Trademark Logo, thus making
it a Type 1 and dating its manufacture to between 1905 - 1910. The proper
beech handle and knob are in super condition also. These rare planes are not
offered up very often, so if you have an empty hole on the shelf this one will work
nicely!!
Excellent / Fine........ $995.00 SOLD
Stanley
# 97 Cabinet Makers Chisel Plane According
to the book, this plane has the wrong cap. But given where I found it and
the circumstances surrounding the purchase, I find it hard to imagine how that came
to be. It is certain that no one did it purposely and the fact that the cap
is japanned leads me to believe that it may be proper. I believe that the
prototype model that was offered up at Browns auction a while back was also fitted
with a similar cap. In any case the rest of the plane is in superior condition,
retains nearly all of its original finish and has just a nice even patina on the
exposed metal parts. The front corners are proper and there is plenty of cutter
left as well. Different and Nice!!
Good........ $495.00 SOLD
Stanley
#62 Low Angle Cabinet Makers Plane This
is the nicest example of Stanley's popular and versatile low angle cabinet makers
plane that I have had in a long time. Note the condition of the rosewood handle.
The throat area which is oftentimes damaged is perfect. The japanning is near
perfect. The front knob does not have any problems and still retains its original
finish. This plane was not used more than a couple of times. The condition
is second to none and a nicer example will not be found easily.
Good +........ $495.00 SOLD
Stanley
#12 Scraper Plane This scraper plane
dates from near the turn of the century and can be considered a type 2 or 3 because
of the rail design. Other than the #12 cast into the bed it is unmarked.
The throat is perfect, the japanning is approx 90%, and the Rosewood handle
is super, both in graining and finish. This plane has been lightly cleaned,
and the discoloration you see is mostly staining, and looks great. There is
virtually no pitting or even texture to the metal surfaces, just honest patina.
This is a nice plane and is ready to go back to work, or spend another 80 years
or so on the shelf or in your collection.
Good........ $125.00 SOLD
Stanley #164 Plane This
plane is in pretty nice condition. It is considered one the the hardest to
find of all planes that Stanley produced. They were introduced in 1926 and
production ended with the beginning of the war. Some have speculated that
there was only one production run and then this supply was offered over the next
20 or so years. 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 near the end of the offering.
The handle has a tight hairline in it that I do not think has been glued, but it
is still stable.
The front knob is nice, but there is a small chip in the boss where the rod screws
into the moveable throat piece. This area still works properly but there is
a relief at this point. The japanning is well over 95% and looks good.
The sides are nice, and there is very light pitting or texture on the sole. This
would lap out easily if so desired.
Good +........ $1695.00 SOLD
Stanley
# 144 3/8" Corner Rounding PlaneThis plane is in very nice condition and there is little
sign of use. It still retains most of its japanned finish, and there is no
rust or pitting to speak of. The size designation is clearly stamped
in the bottom as well. Ready for the bench or shelf!
Good........ $295.00 SOLD
Stanley
# 56 Core Box Plane This is a super condition and very desirable example
of one of Stanley's rarest and hard to find planes that they produced. This
planes patent was taken out in 1909, and Stanley offered for sale the same year.
It was only offered until 1923 when stocks produced before the War ran out and no
more were made. It is a rare plane. This example still sports 95% or
more of the original japanning. The exposed faces are very nice with just
some spotting and no pitting or rust. It is one of the nicest of these that
I have had over the years.
Fine........ $1295.00 SOLD
Stanley
# 71 Router Plane w/ Original Box This one is like new. The nickel is bright, and
it has the guide and 3 cutters
Excellent........ $150.00 SOLD
Stanley #171 Door Plane & Router This nice example is basically damage free other than some missing japanning and some staining on the sole. It still retains approx 90% or more of the original finish. The wood is nice and original. These are one of the most unusual of all special use planes that Stanley produced, but its usefulness ran into the electric router and its production period was short lived. There are two original cutters included, with the 5/8" missing.
Good........ $345.00 SOLD
