Stanley
#1 Smooth Plane This Sweetheart Era #1 is in about as nice condition
as one could ask for, and just look at that decal on the handle. There is
well over 95% of the original japanning remaining, and there is no rust, pitting,
casting problems or other damage that I need to report to you. This
is a prime example of Stanley's smallest and most popular collectable smooth plane.
This example is ready to be proudly displayed on the top shelf as a highlight of
the collection. Go for it!

Stanley
#1 Smooth Planes The Stanley #1 is the most avidly
sought of all Stanley Planes for tool collectors. These 2
examples are the famous
Stanley / Bailey #1 Smooth Plane. On the left is a nice
example that is in super nice original condition. It is a earlier
model pre 1920's which is denoted by the lack of the Stanley logo
cast into the cap. Other than the name Stanley cast into the lever cap on
later models, and the logo on the cutter the #1 plane body was
unmarked. The finish on the
handle and knob are original and 90% or more of the original
japanning remains. There is no rust or pitting to
speak of on the body or sole. The throat is the proper size and
nice as well with no stress cracks or
widening from chips. The
cutter is a more recent NOS replacement with the notched rectangle mark. I
have another earlier cutter for it, but it is worn and the logo is
unreadable. There are plenty of #1 planes out there, but not many in as nice
condition as this example.

Stanley #1 Smooth Plane
The enduring favorite and most avidly sought
of all Stanley Planes for tool collectors, this is the famous Stanley / Bailey #1,
and it is in super original condition. Other than the logo on the cutter
early #1 plane were unmarked, probably because of size constraints. The
finish on the handle and knob are original, and there is no rust or pitting to speak
of on the body or sole. The throat is the proper size and nice as well.
There are plenty of #1 planes out there, but not many in as nice condition as this
example.

Stanley
#2 Smooth Plane This very nice Stanley
#2 has the Patent 92 cutter in it, thus dating it from near the turn of the last
century. It is in super condition and still retains over 90% of the japanning.
The Rosewood handle is super and crack free. The front knob has just some
minor cosmetic dings and scratches. The exposed metal parts exhibit no signs
of rust or pitting and this plane has never been over-cleaned. If you have
been looking for a genuine / honest example of this ever harder to find plane, look
no further.

Stanley
#A4 Aluminum Smooth PlaneThis unusual plane is in super original
condition and has all the original and proper parts that it should.
The Rosewood handle and knob are very nice as well. It appears that this plane
has seen little use and has only a few cosmetic scratches on the sole and sides.
Stanley made these Aluminum bench planes in 3 sizes during the 20's and into the
30's, but due to a combination of the times, and the problems encountered in the
design they were never very popular and not heavily produced. During this
period they also made a version of their #45, #78, and a few other pieces
out of Aluminum and this exotic series of Stanley tools can be an interesting challenge
to try to completely assemble. Super!!
Good........ $195.00 SOLD
Stanley
#8C Type 9 24" Jointer Plane This nice
condition plane dates from the just after the turn of the century and before 1907
according to Rodger Smiths type study on the subject. The throat is
nice, and the japanning is approx 80% or better. The sides and sole are rust
and pit free, and this plane has never been cleaned. It is in nice original
condition showing just minor signs of wear that come with careful use. Both
the Handle and knob are made of the quality Rosewood that Stanley utilized during
this period. These 24" jointers are a favorite of the user crowd because of
their versatility & size, and are a true workhorse. It is ready to go back
to work. A Nice One!!

Stanley #21 Transitional Smooth Plane
