Mathieson
Rosewood Infill Closed Handle Panel Plane This 16 1/2 " Rosewood
Infill Panel plane is marked as to maker with a bold stamp on the front infill.
The cutter is marked as well. The throat is perfect and as fine as any English Mitre Plane. It is in very nice condition in all respects. The chamfered
or bevel edge of the steel sides which are dovetailed to the bottom is great.
There is no pitting or rust. The cutter is proper measures 2 1/2" and is marked
with the makers name. There is approx 1" left to the slot.

Mathieson
15 1/4" Walnut Infill Plane Here is
a beautiful example of Scottish craftsmanship & workmanship. It is a tribute to
the beauty of the tools which were produced across the pond during an earlier period.
The condition of the walnut infill plane could not be any nicer. The
lever cap is clearly stamped Mathieson, and it has a very nice Ward cutter and chip
breaker in it. These super form and very heavy planes are wonderful to both
look at and to use. This example weighs in at nearly 10 pounds and if you
are looking for something heavy to push around the shop this one will fit the bill.
A Stanley Bedrock of approx the same length weighs in at under 7lbs. as a comparison.
Both the wood infill and the metal body are like new and this plane shows little
evidence of ever doing more than sitting up on the shelf. Super!!
Good . . . . . .$695.00 SOLD
Rosewood
Infill Plane
By one of the top makers of infill planes. There is some pitting on
the side rail and it has been cleaned and polished. The sole and
throat are nice. Ready to go back to work or go on display. Nice!!
Good . . . . . $495.00 SOLD
3
Handled Rosewood Planes These three rosewood planes appear to
have been made by the same hand. Two of them are stamped on the nose A S but
the handles are so similar I am sure the same fellow made them. The
two larger ones are about 1" different in length and 1/4 inch or so different in
width. The shorter one has a round bottom. The longest one is just under
22" long Very Showy and these are becoming near impossible to find anymore.
Good . . . . . . $150.00 / ea SOLD
18
Matched Skew Cut English Hollow & Round Planes
This
set of 18 matched hollows & rounds are in near mint, near unused condition.
There was a bit of rust on some of the cutters which I have since cleaned, but
they show no signs of use or abuse. Skew sets of Hollow & Rounds are 10 times harder to find than straight cut versions. These planes are double stamped with two well known and respected makers / distributors of English Planes. Preston and Varvill & Sons. Special.
Excellent . . . . . . $1095.00 / set

Coppers
4 Cutter Stave or Jointer Plane This is a very early and unusual coopers
plane. Typical ones have a long body, but usually only one cutter. This
one is set up with 4. From the looks of it this plane was designed to be used
from either end to perform different functions. Note the profile shot.
One end has square cutters and the other end has cutters with a hollow grind to
them. The tag that came with this stated it came from the Ken Roberts collection.
It was originally bought in the 70's by the collector here. Just a super plane
in super condition.
Good........ $395.00 SOLD
J.
F. & G. M. Patented July 2nd 1878 Jointer Plane The assumption is that
the patent date and initials behind the handle on this nice looking plane are for
the reinforcing rod that is running through the handle. The handles on these
types of planes are often found broken off and this is an idea that seems plausible
and needed, and this is the only example with this type of feature that I have ever
seen. Other than the rod in the handle it is a pretty typical looking Beech
jointer plane. The condition is superb, and the mark on the front is 2 star
A1 mark from Tom Elliot's new revised edition of American Wooden Planes. My first
attempt at researching the patent date stamped on this plane was a failure. That
can be explained in a number of ways, but reflects mostly I suppose on my time spent
on this. It may also be a bogus date put there for any number of reasons.
This was often done by folks to scare the competition away from stealing an idea
that was not quite ready for the market. Or it may have been the submission date
and not the issue date. In any case it is a situation that deserves further
research that I just do not have the time or inclination for right at this moment.
The patent date stamp is shown in one of the pics below. If it is right it
is a winner. Super!!
Good........ $395.00 SOLD
Panel
Raising Plane This 3 1/2" wide skew Panel Raiser is a very rare and
hard to find style of plane. This example was made by E. & C. Carter of Troy
NY and measures approx 18" long. The makers mark is very clear and readable.
The condition is superb, and it has no problems or issues that need attention.
In addition to the skewed cutter note the moveable fence and the special 1/2" nicker.
Just a super plane in super condition.
Good........ $395.00 SOLD
Pair
of German Stair Rail Planes These came
from one of the David Stanley Auctions over in England some 20 years back. They
were one of the highlights of the collection and display in the now
closed hardware store they hung in for 20 some years. Super!!!Good........ $695.00 / pr SOLD
Unmarked Crown Molding Plane This crown molder appears to be unmarked. It measures 4 1/2" from the inside of the fence to the edge of the plane. The previous owner has applied a fence as can be seen and I believe the pull stick is a newer replacement. It is straight, and the cutter is nice. Crown molders are becoming hard to find and this one is a pretty nice example.
Good........ $245.00 SOLD
Crown Molding Plane This 3 1/2" wide crown molder is marked with 3 initials in the front where the makers name would appear. It looks to be S P G. It is straight, and the cutter is nice. The handle looks very early and this one may date from very close to the 18th century. Also note the nicely done hardwood strike button on the front. All in all a nice example of a style of plane that is becoming increasingly more difficult to find.
Good........ $225.00 SOLD
Curved
Smooth Plane This is a super nice
piece with the carvings, and Heart shaped throat. It is also
dated. The front handle needs to be restored to bring this superb
iece back to its full glory. Very unusual.
Good ........ $295.00 SOLD
Crown Molding Plane This 3" wide molder is a nice example of a style of plane that is becoming increasingly more difficult to find. There is no makers mark I can see.
Good........ $95.00 SOLD
Tower of Sudbury Mass. Complex Molding Planes According to the newest version of American Wooden Planes by Emil and Martyl Pollak, & newly edited by Thomas Elliot, John Tower was born in 1758 and worked in Sudbury Mass north of Worchester in the early 1800's. He died in 1846. There is an anecdotal story about him being a bit touched in his later years, but the fellow who made these was obviously a craftsman near his peak as they are superb examples of craftsmanship and form. All aspects of these two planes are near flawless and the wedges and heavy chamfers have that special feel of age and quality. Super condition, and very nice profiles about says it all for these 2 superior molding planes. Rare
Good........ $575.00 SOLD
Table Leaf Joint Plane by M. & N. H. Stout of St. Louis. This is a difficult maker to find, as are any planes from west of the Miss. Their working dates were from 1838-49 and were hardware dealers in St. Louis after that. This one has an unusual cut which looks like a table joint to me. It is uncleaned, but will look great with just a light cleaning, but I will leave that to your tastes. The makers mark is clear and strong and the cutter and wedge are nice.
Good........ $35.00 SOLD
P Sargent Concord New Hampshire 1" Boxed Bead This plane is 9.5" long, and is made of beech.. Everything is here and proper, and the condition is very nice overall.
Good........ $35.00 SOLD
D. Amsden Tongue Plane This plane is made of beech.. Everything is here and as can be seen it has been slightly modified to cut a smaller tongue. The condition is OK overall on this early plane by a hard to find maker. Note the nice shape of the primitive sleeper style wedge.
Good........ $45.00 SOLD
B. Frogatt This molding plane is 9 3/4" long. The makers mark is not listed in Pollack's last book, and so it may be English. It has those characteristics that could make it either American, or English. It appears to be made of Beech, but the wedge profile and the extra 1/4" in length give one pause. It has a complex stepped profile that is not very deep. All in all a nice example.
Good........ $95.00 SOLD
Infill Smooth Plane This plane is unmarked as to maker. Like the one above, it is a bit cruder than is typical of these. The wedge, and the lips applied to the inside of the frame to hold it appear to be an afterthought. The top of the handle needs some attention as well. The cutter is set up properly and the opening with the cutter in place is nice.
Good........ $95.00 SOLD
Closed Handle English Infill Smooth Plane This plane is unmarked as to maker. The cutter is marked Alex Mathieson. It is in very nice condition noting the chip in the top of the handle.
Good........ $295.00 SOLD
Closed Handle English Infill Plane This plane is unmarked as to maker. The cutter is marked Sorby. It is in sound condition noting the pitting on the sides. It is 13 3/4" long
Good........ $195.00 SOLD
