Stanley # 45 Combination Plane in Original Box  The plane itself is NDM or Near Dead Mint. So are the cutters. They show no signs of ever being used and are in like new condition. The outer box is nice as well with some weak torn corners. This is a later model that came with a double boxed set of cutters. The plane itself carries the notched rectangle logo, and so I believe it dates from the late 50's or so. The cam, slitter, screwdriver, original instructions are all included. A nice plane is exceptional condition.

Stanley # 45 Multi Plane  This is the nicest #45 I have had or seen in years. The plane is near mint w/ close to 100% of the nickel.

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!!

Stanley # A 45 Aluminum Multi Plane  This is by far the rarest of all Stanley combination planes. The aluminum # A 45 was made for about 20 years from 1915 - 1925.   Very few were made during that period and fewer have survived.  This example is in nice condition and the owner / collector documented its entire history or provenance on the attached tag.   He got it in a trade back in the 80's and had to give up quite a pile of other old tools to add this to his collection.

The overall condition is very nice, and there is little signs of use or abuse.  The cutters are nice, have never been ground and all here in their original and proper boxes.   It has both fences and both sets of rods and the rare aluminum cam that came with the second generation model of this plane.  The outer wooden box is a craftsman made representation of an original.  A rare plane!!

Stanley # 55 Combination Plane in Original Box  This is a later model Stanley # 55 Combination Plane. The plane itself, and the cutters are near mint and virtually unused. I believe it dates from just before WWII from the logo on the skate and other features. They made this unusual plane up to 1963 but if its features follow the 45 type study it would date from some period before that and closer to WWII.

This plane looks to have never been used very lightly if at all. There is virtually no wear or tear from use. The rosewood fences show little signs of ever having run against anything. Most all of the cutters look to be original grind and have original cosmoline or grease on them. The box shows wear from sitting for so long. The corners of the outer box have ripped. Also one end of the cutter box is torn. It is complete with its tower, cam, extra spurs, long and short rods, instructions. You just do not find them this nice anymore. Opportunity!!

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.

Stanley No. 143 Plow Plane  The Stanley No. 141 & 143 took the place of the earlier Millers patent plow planes #41 - 44. This example is in overall good condition. John Walters guide states the No. 141 was offered from 1887 - 1918 and the 143 was offered up to the beginning of WWII.

This plane has a sweetheart stamp on the skate, and Stanley marked fence dating it from after 1918 thus making it a 143 even though it has the holes in the skate of a 141. At least that is what I have been told by Bon Bosse, the recognized authority on the subject of Miller Patent planes and type studies for them. It would seem Stanley ran out of skates w/o holes and used 141 skates for a few years near the end.  Examples with this feature are known in the original box which would tend to confirm the theory and explain the later skate w/ 141 holes on a 143 plane.

It comes with 9 proper thin plow cutters plus the slitter and spur or nicker. It has one front nose piece. The aux. bullnose is not here, and even though it seems it should have a fillister bed given the holes in the skate, it is proper w/o one. Nice enough!!
