Winchester Woodworking Planes

Winchester #3063 1" Dado/Rabbeting Plane Sargent made this plane for Winchester during their short lived foray into the consumer tool market back before the onset of the great depression. Through a series of marketing missteps and because of the worsening economy during this period, Winchester who was in partnership with Simmons Hardware, had to give up on their plans to dominate this portion of the consumer market. This plane is in like new condition, with the exception of the cutter, which the previous owner has modified on the top to serve as a moulding cutter of some sort. By doing this he has lost about 1/4 of height to the top of the cutter and has made the top of the cutter round. The original working end appears to have never been sharpened. The japanning is well over 97% and the nickers are as new. You will not be disappointed, it is the nicest one I have ever seen.

Good . . . . .$ 295.00 SOLD

Winchester #3201 (#78) Rabbit Plane As is the case with most Winchester tools and planes, this one has seen considerable use. It has approx. 50% of the japanning, and a rich even patina. There are no casting problems but there are some bangs and dings as is to be expected. This plane was made by Sargent and I believe has the proper fence and rod. I could not find the wing nut for the depth stop in the box where I got this, and so had to replace it with another. Metal bodied planes marked Winchester are always a challenge to find, and this one is no exception.

Winchester Arms Co. No. 3075 Scraper Plane Winchester Repeating Arms Co foray into the tool market was quick and eventful. They came close to going bankrupt over it.

Winchester did not actually make their line of tools but rather contracted out their orders to other tool makers like Stanley, Ohio Tool, Sargent, and others and then relied on their name recognition, reputation and slogans like "Good As The Gun" to succeed. That was not enough and Winchester pretty quickly got out of the tool and hardware business. Nice!!

Good + . . . . . $40.00 SOLD!!

Winchester 3041 Transitional Smooth Plane This is a Sargent made plane marked Winchester. When Winchester entered the tool market they contracted out to different tool makers like Stanley, Sargent, and Ohio Tool to make their tools and then branded them with the Winchester name. Same strategy as Simmons Hardware used with Keen Kutter and their tool line. It was a great success for Simmons and a disaster for Winchester.

Winchester planes are typically all beat and used up. This example is pretty nice. Proper Winchester marked cutter, good wood body that is pretty thick. Good handle and knob. Throat area is OK, etc. No issues to mention.

Good + . . . . . $50.00 SOLD!!

Winchester 3092 Block Plane Used but OK. Different, and Unusual.

Good . . . . . . . $25.00 SOLD!!

Winchester 3091 Block Plane (Stanley # 103) This Winchester block plane is in used but sound condition. Good cutter w/ great Winchester stamp. Nice throat A hard to find size adjustable block plane by the most famous gun maker the world has ever known.

Good + . . . . . $ 30.00 SOLD!!

Winchester #3080 Scraper Plane Sargent made this plane for Winchester during their short lived foray into the consumer tool market back before the onset of the great depression. Through a series of marketing missteps and because of the worsening economy during this period, Winchester who was in partnership with Simmons Hardware, had to give up on their plans to dominate this portion of the consumer market. During various periods they had either Stanley, Sargent, or Ohio making tools for them, and then relying on their reputation and marketing to allow them to sell these products with their name and logo on them. This plane has been repainted and the sides lapped, but it still looks good. The cutter is stained and pitted, but it is original, and with a loop you can make out the Winchester name in script on it across the middle. All Winchester planes are hard to find, and especially so the scrapers.

Good . . . . .$ 150.00 SOLD

Winchester #3058 Spoke Shave There are some Winchester tools you see pretty regularly, but their spoke shaves are not one of them. I believe this was made by Stanley, probably back in the 20's when Winchester had their line of hardware stores around the country. It was short-lived, and most legitimate Winchester tools are pretty hard to find these days.

Good . . . . .$ 75.00 SOLD

Winchester #3 Size #3004 Corrugated Smooth Plane by Sargent Winchester entered the tool market under the assumption that with their reputation that they could and would succeed in this new non gun venture. It almost bankrupted them and they dropped the entire idea, reorganized the company, and returned their focus to guns which they made and knew.

Winchester did not actually make their lines of planes and other tools. They farmed it out to companies like Stanley, Sargent and others. Stanley made planes were designated as W3 or whatever the size was. They were a Bedrock design. Sargent made Winchester planes were marked with a 4 digit number beginning with a 3 as this one is marked behind the frog. Their planes were actually well received and sold pretty well. They are usually found well used and are seldom found in this nice condition. The logo or ditty Winchester used to market their line or tools was "As Good as the Gun"

The condition of this 3 size corrugated bottom plane is like new. A super piece!

Fine . . . . . .$ 125.00 SOLD!!

Winchester # W 9 1/2 Block Plane by Ohio

Winchester # W 9 1/2 Block Plane This is a very nice example of a hard to find Winchester block plane. It was made for them by either Ohio Tool co. or Sargent. Winchester did not actually make their line of planes and other tools, they farmed it out to companies like Stanley, Sargent, Ohio Tool Co. and others. The lateral is marked with the W 91/2 and I believe it is by Ohio because of the round handy features on the side but it might be a Sargent product. It is in very nice condition with a full length properly marked cutter. It will make a fine addition to the Winchester tool or gun collection! Good as the gun!! Different and nice!!

Good + . . . . . . $ 45.00 SOLD!

Winchester # 3011 (5 1/2) Extra Large Jack Plane This plane was made by Sargent for Winchester. It is in beautiful original condition. All Proper, and all very nice!! As the famous Winchester Repeating Firearms Co logo went, "As Good As the Gun".

Fine . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!!

Winchester W5 Jack Plane (Stanley Bedrock 605) This Winchester jack plane is in used but sound condition. It was made by Stanley and based on a Bedrock plane design with the same milled frog mating design. It dates from the 20's or a bit before. Replaced cutter. Wood OK. Nice throat. Minor pitting and a couple stray scratches. Overall nice. A plane offered by the most famous gun maker the world has ever known.

Good . . . . . $60.00 SOLD!!

Union / Ohio Woodworking Planes

Union Tool Co # 41 & 42 Swing Arm Tongue & Groove Planes The larger 41 is minty nice and the smaller size 42 has dull nickel and is also very nice. The equivalent to Stanley's no. 48 / 47 T & G planes. Nice.

41 - - - - Good . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!!

42 - - - - Good . . . . . $60.00 SOLD!!

Ohio Tool Co. 01 Smooth Plane The Ohio # 01 is a far rarer plane than the popular Stanley # 1 version of these small planes. These rare planes do not come to market very often.

This Ohio # 01 smooth plane is in fine overall condition. The World Logo cutter is long and nice. There is no rust or pitting to speak of. The original japanning is about 95% with minor losses near the handle. The solid back lever cap has no pitting or rust and is very nice. The throat is good. The dark rosewood handle and knob are nice. The collector applied a coat of clear lacquer as was his custom, and a practice more generally accepted back when he did it in the 80's. It will clean off. A super nice example of a rare plane that will be the highlight of any plane or tool collection.

Fine . . . . . $2250.00 SOLD!!

Union # 2 Smooth Plane This is a hard to find version of a Union #2. The bed is marked behind the frog unlike most seen. The Mahogany handle and low front knob are nice. The lateral is stamped Pat Apl'd For. The cutter is full length and looks to be thicker / heavier than the norm. The original japanning is about 90% or better. The throat is proper and has not been opened. A pretty nice example.

Fine. . . . . $245.00 SOLD!!

Ohio Tool Co. 05 1/2 Plane This plane has been lightly cleaned, and has a nice dark even patina. There is no rust or pitting to speak of. There is at least 80% of the of the japanning if not more. Good Wood. The proper cutter is nice, long, and tapered. Good throat. No damage or issues. Overall it is a very nice plane and good enough for the collection, or will be a fine user. Nice!!

Good + . . . . . . . $50.00 SOLD!!

Union Tool Co. X-5A Large Jack Plane Union Tool Co was another CT based tool maker who went up against Stanley trying to compete with the king. They offered a line similar to Stanley's along with a few different ideas in an attempt to get some market share. They were around for a while but in the end were bought out by Stanley. Their line of vertical post X planes was one of those attempts at offering a different product. They are interesting, but not one of the greatest designs compared to say Stanley's Bed Rock line. Not rare, except for the # 1 size they made, but not common either.

This example is the size of a 5 1/2 and is in overall nice condition noting the top of the handle has gone missing. It is one of the harder sizes to find. Nice.

Good + . . . . . . $ 65.00 SOLD!!

Union Tool Co. # 4 1/4 Smooth Plane w/ Adjustable Front This Union Tool Co. plane, marked # 4 1/4 was one of Union Tool Co.'s more unusual design planes. At first glance it looks like a typical size #4 plane, but this version has an adjustable front piece like a 9 1/2 block plane or first model #10 rabbit plane. It is so unusual that no mention of, or examples can be found using a Google search.

This plane is in overall nice condition noting a small chip in the throat. Nice.

Good + . . . . . . $ 295.00 SOLD!!

Union 9 1/2 Block Plane This Union Tool Co. Block Plane is in fine original condition. Approx. 90% of the original japanning, and no pitting, or other condition issues. It has a nice properly marked cutter. A pretty rare piece in the scheme of things. Note it has excelsior style side rails. It also has a patented front adjuster different from Stanley or other designs. Nice!!

Fine . . . . . . $35.00 SOLD!!

Union 411 (Stanley 113) Compass / Circular Plane Nice!! The Union 411 is a compass plane clone about identical to the Stanley 113 from UNION Tool Co.

The Union Tool Co. was a CT based tool & plane manufacturing company Stanley bought out around the 1920s to get rid of the competition. Union also made a version marked 311, but called their unmarked model, like this, the 411.

Nice overall condition. Minor losses to the nickel and japanning. No major issues, a nice plane that will be a good user.

Good + . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!!

Birmingham "B Plane" 9 1/2 Block Plane w/ Excelsior Body This "B Plane" 9 1/2 size Block Plane is in fine original condition. Approx. 90% of the original japanning, and no pitting, or other condition issues. It has a nice properly marked cutter. It was made by the Birmingham Plane co of CT a main competitor of Stanley back near the end of the 19th century. A pretty rare piece in the scheme of things. Note it has excelsior style side rails. Nice!!

Fine . . . . . . $50.00 SOLD!!

Union #22 Transitional Smooth Plane This is a nice looking plane with good wood and a nice sole. The paint is original and good. A tough plane to find.

Good + . . . . .$45.00 SOLD

Union Tool Co. # X-8 Jointer Plane The Union Tool Co. competed with Stanley as best they could until they were bought out by them in the 20's. They made a line of planes very similar to the standard Stanley line and also produced this line known as the X series with a vertical post adjuster. This design did away with an adjustable frog, and the blade was adjusted by the lever and brass nuts on the post behind the frog. The condition is like new and these are a popular collectible and pretty hard to find. Different and very nice!

Fine . . . . . .$145.00 SOLD!!

Union Tool Co. #44 Beading Plane Rare & Excellent are the first two things that come to mind when describing this unusual Union 44 beading plane. The nickel plating is well over 95% and shows just minor wear on the sole inside the bead. The # 44 is cast into the side, and Union in the handle, but they were not marked on the frame or elsewhere with the size. Ads from the era indicate it was made in 3 sizes, 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 and this is a 1/2". There is a pic of one and a write-up on page 259 Vol. 1 of Roger Smiths work on American patented planes.

Union Tool Co. use to compete with Stanley Rule & Level Co. and offered many planes that were nearly identical. In a few instances they designed and produced planes a bit different than the Stanley version or offered something entirely different that Stanley did not. Union introduced this pane shortly after the turn of the century and very few have ever been found or come to market. Stanley bought out Union in the 1920's getting rid of the unwanted competition and they dropped or eliminated this design.

I have seen auction results as high as 2,400.00 and only recall seeing one other at a tool meet for close to that amount. A rare and desirable plane!!

Fine . . . . .$895.00 SOLD!

Union X 3 C Smooth Plane This is a nice looking plane with good wood and a nice sole.

Good + . . . . .$95.00 SOLD

Union X #4 3/8 Smooth Plane This was the Union Tool Co. contribution to the rare and unusual plane / cutter adjusting idea in an attempt to corner some of the plane sales market Stanley was gathering up. The patent for this idea was issued in 1903 and consists of a vertical post w/ 2 locking nuts to adjust the cutters depth of cut. These planes were offered in sizes from the #0 (#1) through the #8 size, with the smallest, largest, and odd-ball #'s being the hardest to find.

This # 4 3/8 is closest in size to a Stanley # 4 1/2, the oversize smooth plane Stanley offered. This oversize smooth plane is in very nice original condition with 90% of the original paint or more remaining. There is ever so light pitting on the sides and it was cleaned years ago. The cap iron is marked 4 3/8ths. There is patent info in the base. The Rosewood handle had green paint on it which I removed. I am not sure if it is original to the plane or not. A very nice, and hard to find plane.

Good + . . . . .$495.00 SOLD

Ohio Tool Co. # 02 Smooth Plane This Ohio #2 size plane has been cleaned and had a coat of protective lacquer applied. It looks pretty good. The previous collector did that to most all tools he had. He bought and catalogued over 15,000 tools before he died in the 90s.

Good + . . . . . $250.00 SOLD!!

Ohio 04 Smooth Plane Look close at the rear of the frog on this plane. This plane has a frog adjuster that Ohio tried to introduce to their line just after the turn of the century. My understanding is that Stanley immediately sued and won even though this style adjuster is a bit different design from Stanley's. The tabs are actually cast as part of the base, kind of like Sargent Shaw's patent planes. In any case, it is a pretty rare variation not seen very often. Note that there is a small chip out of the side rail on the front. It also has the wrong cutter in it. Nice.

Good . . . . . .$95.00 SOLD!!

Union X #4 Smooth Plane Union Tool Co. competed with Stanley as best they could until they were bought out by Stanley in the 20's. In addition to the line of planes that mimicked Stanley's they also introduced some ideas of their own into the market. One of those was their X series of bench planes. The #4 size is in nice condition, and all proper. The collector applied his signature coat of gloss lacquer to protect it. A nice plane!!

Good + . . . . . .$75.00 SOLD!!

Millers Falls Tool Co. Woodworking Planes

Millers Falls # 209 Smooth Plane Millers Falls Tool Co. introduced this unusual finish smooth plane in 1938 to commemorate their 70th anniversary. It is highlighted on the cover of that catalog. Millers Falls is well known for their innovative designs and attempts to carve out some market share from the king of the pack, Stanley by introducing new and different designs for their line of tools. A few years after this they introduced and offered what has become known as the "Buck Rodgers" line of planes and tools that also have a very unusual look to them. In general Millers Falls produced a very nice product, and went a step further when they introduced this model with its clear Red "Permaloid" plastic handles, and Chromium finish on the exposed metal parts. It does stand out, and has a look above the others. The previous owner did etch his name very lightly into the side rail. You can hardly see it. Other than that it is near mint and looks to have never been used. Nice!!

Fine . . . . . $375.00 SOLD!

Millers Falls # 85 Duplex Rabbit / Dado Plane This is Millers Falls version of the Stanley #78. I had to install a new lever cap as the original broke. That involved a bit of file work to get the slot in the cap to work.. The owner just put it up on the shelf and moved on. It looks to have seen little use.

Good + . . . . .$ 95.00 SOLD!!

Fine . . . . . $45.00 SOLD!

Millers Falls # 17 Block Plane Very Nice!!! 90% or better of the original japanning. Millers Falls put out a quality product that rivaled Stanley products in their hey-day. This 7" block plane plane is identical to the popular Stanley 15 block plane and has seen little to no use.

Good + . . . . . $35.00 SOLD!!

Millers Falls #07 B Skew Block Plane The 07 plane was Millers Falls answer to the Stanley #140 skew block plane. The adjuster is a different design and that is probably the B reference stamped on the side The condition is as nice as one could ask for. Nice!!

Fine . . . . . $90.00 SOLD!

Millers Falls # 07 Rabbit Block Plane (Stanley # 140) in Original Box The japanning on this 07 / 140 block plane is near flawless and the sole is bright and shiny. The throat is nice as well. The box is nice. You will not be disappointed. A tough plane to find in the box and in this condition.

Good. . . . . . . .$195.00 SOLD

Millers Falls #07 Skew Block Plane / Original Box This plane was Millers Falls answer to the Stanley #140 skew block plane. They are a fine tool and work well with the angled cutter for end grain work or cleaning out rabbits with the removable side plate.

Millers Falls #209 Smooth Plane The designers at MF were way ahead of their time design wise offering novel designs trying to steal some of the market share from Stanley. One idea was their Buck Rogers line of planes and tools and this premium upclass model plane that they finished in Chrome w/ Lucite handles. They did not make many, and few survived in this condition. Different.

Good + . . . . .$495.00 SOLD

Millers Falls No. 14 B Jack Plane This Millers Falls jack plane has seen little use and spent most of its life sitting on a shelf. There is little sign of it being used. No issues, no apologies. A nice plane.
