Stanley # 1 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane
This is a super condition Stanley #1 smooth plane. It has the Y trademark logo on the
full length original grind cutter. It has a very nice Stanley cap which
would indicate this is a type 13 and so the date can be further narrowed to
between 1921 & 1922 if Roger Smiths type study holds true for #1's.The original japanning is very good with well over 95% remaining. The full grained Rosewood handle is near perfect and most of the original finish remains. The previous owner did stamp his name into the side of the handle. The front knob looks great.

smooth plane is in fine condition. It has a full length Y Sweetheart logo cutter with original

rectangle logo on the cutter and dates from after 1936.There is no rust or pitting on the body and the original japanning is about 98% or so. There are a few tool box type dings on the side walls as seen in the pics. The lever cap has some stains, but no pitting or rust. The rosewood handle and knob are nice, but have little original finish on them. The handle and knob had been painted red at one time and most of the original finish was lost removing that.

Early No. 1 Stanley Smooth Plane This
early Stanley #1 smooth plane is in nice overall condition. The
original japanning is about 80% or so. It has the I
frame below the frog making it a type 1 or 2. According to the type
study, the only thing keeping
it from being a type 1 is that the lever cap does not have a banjo spring.
In fact many people would call this a type 1 just because of the I frame.
Very very few #1 planes are known with a banjo cap. In either case, it dates
from approx. 1867 - 1872.The plane has a couple of minor apologies that can be overlooked given the rareness of this plane. The sides have a couple of small insignificant patches of pitting. (see pics) The throat area has a tiny hairline / crack behind the cutter that is stable. It has a properly marked long cutter w/ some minor pitting at the top. There are a few tool box type dings on the side walls and sole as seen in the pics. The handle is nice, and the beaded front knob looks pretty good as well. Very few of these early #1 planes turn up. It is the first I have had in over 20 years. Nice enough!!

# 1 Smooth Plane
This Stanley #1 smooth plane is in about as nice condition as
one could ask for. The tag the collector made out indicates he
bought this in 1987. He determined from the notched rectangle cutter logo that
it dated from after 1936. He must have just gotten his type study and
studiously noted this plane's features and his other #1's, trying to exactly type and date
them.This plane has no major condition issues. It looks to have been lapped at some point, and now 30 some years later has developed a nice even patina. There are spots of minor shelf rust on the sole that will easily clean, and no pitting to speak of. The cutter is nice and full length. The throat is good. The rosewood handle has nearly all of its original finish and is a light colored sap. It is an original. The japanning is over 95% and the Stanley marked cap is very nice. No apologies. These nice condition #1's just do not appear very often unless coming out of a collection as this one has. A top shelf example nice enough for any collection.

Stanley Rule & Level Co. Sweetheart Era # 1 Smooth Plane
This is without a doubt the finest condition Stanley #1 smooth plane I have ever had or offered.
It is the best candidate for the phrase "a plane looking for a box" I have ever seen. It is about as close to
dead mint as anyone could ask. Check all the pics to see the condition. This is the last and best #1 you
will ever see or need. This superb condition plane has no condition issues or apologies. The cutter is full length, has the original grind, and carries the AA Sweetheart era logo dating this plane from 1923 - 1935. The heavily grained Rosewood handle and knob look great and both have 99% of their original finish. The japanning is near 100%. No apologies. This plane has not been rehabbed or gone over. It is all original. I guarantee it. This is the one for the center spot on the top shelf of any Stanley or plane collection. Highly Recommended!!

Rule & Level Co. # 1 Smooth Plane
This is a nice condition later #1. It has
a notched rectangle logo cutter and Stanley marked lever cap which would date it
from the late 30's / 40's. It was used, but everything is nice. The
dark rosewood handle and knob are very nice. The throat is correct, and there is no rust or pitting, just a nice
even patina on the body. It has well over 90% of the original japanning. I
do not think the cap was ever plated. It is just a nice plane ready
for the collection.

# 1 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane This is
about the nicest Stanley #1 I have had the pleasure to offer in over 20 years.
It is flawless. The previous owner who attended the West Coast Tool
Meetings back in the heyday bought some very nice Stanley pieces, and this
was his nicest buy. It was bought it back in the 80's, and I
think he tried it once before putting it in a display to never be used again.
The worst anyone could say about it is that the finish on the handle has some
minor crazing. Look at all the pics. You will not find a nicer
one offered anywhere.

# 1 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane
This is a super condition Stanley #1 smooth plane. It has the AA trademark logo on the
full length original grind cutter. It has a very nice smooth cap which
would indicate this is a type 12 and so the date can be further narrowed to
between 1923 & 1925 if Roger Smiths type study holds true for #1's. I
have had slightly later #1's with the Stanley cap and so this makes sense.
This sweet little #1 Stanley plane saw little if any use. The full length
cutter has just minor spotting / stains. The plane has not been over-cleaned.
The original japanning is near perfect and at least 98% remaining. The sides still show the original
milling and just a few minor stains. The full grained dark
heartwood Rosewood handle is near perfect and most of the original finish
remains. The front knob looks great noting one small hairline in the
wood at the base. One of the frog screws looks to be a replacement,
but it threads in and tightens properly. A super nice plane that will
be a welcome addition to the collection. It will be some time before a nicer example is
available. Highly recommended.

# 1 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane
This is a super condition Stanley #1 smooth plane. It has the AA trademark logo on the cutter and Stanley on the
lever cap. That would date this plane from after 1925 and prior to1935
when the cutter logo was changed to the Stanley in the notched rectangle logo.
The heart is hard to see in the pic because of the glare, but it is there.
It is near impossible to further pinpoint the exact date of manufacture. This sweet little #1 plane saw little if any use. The cutter is full length and has just minor spotting / stains. It has not been over-cleaned, lapped or messed with. The japanning is near perfect and at least 98%. There is some light staining to the sole, but it is not pitting. The sides still show the original milling and just a few minor stains. These could easily be lapped out to make this plane grade to be near mint. The handle and knob are both near perfect and so is the finish on them. There is just a couple of minor spots of corrosion on the lever of the cap. This will clean as well. Look at all the pics. It will be some time before a nicer example is available. A super nice plane that will be a welcome addition to the collection. Highly recommended.

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,

is a prime example of Stanley's smallest and most popular collectable smooth plane.

# 1 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane
Minty Nice. No Apologies other than some staining of the sole.
It has been many years since I have had one with this nice a decal on the
handle. It is near perfect as is the rest of the plane. This super condition Stanley #1 smooth plane has the AA trademark logo on the cutter and Stanley on the lever cap. That would date this plane from after 1925 and prior to1933 when the cutter logo was changed to the Stanley in the notched rectangle logo. That would make it a type 13 - 15.
The cutter is full length and has just minor spotting / stains. It has not been over-cleaned, lapped or messed with. The japanning is near perfect and at least 98%. There is some light staining to the sole, but it is not pitting. The sides still show the original milling and just a few minor stains. The handle and knob are both near perfect and so is the finish on them. Again check out the decal. it is original, and not a new addition I have heard are being offered. Look at all the pics.

#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.
On the left is another example from the same general era with the T logo on the cutter. The handle and knob are original and in super condition. The paint / japanning is original and near perfect as well. There is some light staining / patina on the body sides but no pitting or rust. The lever cap has the proper B casting mark on the back side. It is as nice an example as you will find anywhere.

The enduring favorite and most avidly sought
of all Stanley Planes for tool collectors, this is the famous Stanley / Bailey #1,

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.

# 1 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane This is
a very nice Stanley #1. It has the AA trademark logo on the cutter
and Stanley is not on the cap, so we can date this down to just a couple of
years from 1923 -1925 if the type study is correct.This sweet little #1 plane saw little use, and has never been cleaned, lapped or messed with. The one apology is a hairline crack in the Rosewood rear tote that is nearly invisible. This could probably made completely invisible by gluing and refinishing it, but the original finish and look are to nice right now. I do not think it has ever been glued, and I did not take it apart to check. The japanning is near perfect, and with a light clean to the cutter this would rate as Fine+ on anyone's chart. Look at all the pics. A nice plane that will be a welcome addition to the collection.

nicest #1 I have had to offer in years.This plane has no condition issues and there are no apologies.

Stanley # 1 Smooth Plane
c.
1870's Type 3 / 4
This early Stanley #1 smooth plane is in very nice overall condition The cutter
has a J trademark which would make it a type 3 / 4 dating from 1872 / 1884. Number 1 planes are hard to type because they are missing many of the
features that larger planes had. Patent dates, laterals, other
markings, and so forth. I think it is a type 3 / 4 because of the low milled receiver
with no indent. Type
6 planes from after 1888 would have recesses milled into the receiver. This plane has no major condition issues. It has developed a nice even patina and there is no rust and just minor pitting. The cutter is nice and full length. The J trademark is faint and there is some light pitting near the top. The cap iron is clearly marked with Leonard Bailey patent info (see pics). The rosewood handle looks great and has nearly all of its original finish as does the nice low knob with beaded base. The japanning is thin and approx. 70%.

# 2 Smooth Plane The overall condition
of this one is nice enough. Lots of original japanning, and no damage
to speak of. Stanley # 2 planes are hard to
date as they only generally follow the type study of a # 4 that is the
standard. This 2 has features covering a wide date range.It came from a collection, and I do not know the history. I think it is a WWII era example that used parts up during the war effort. The BB logo cutter dates it from the 1936 or later. The straight slot cap from before that date. The non Rosewood handle that looks right and original would date from WWII. And I do not know what to make of the lack of a tab under the handle. I always thought that happened on only the last models from the 50s or later. A mystery of sorts.

last model Stanley #2 smooth plane was produced between 1955 & 1961.
Being a type 19 these planes have a very thick finish on the Rosewood handle

No. 2 Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane Very nice
overall condition. # 2 Stanley planes can be hard to date exactly or type as they
did not have the same changes as say a #4 did that the type studies are
based on. With the nice, near full length Y Sweetheart logo cutter, and tall front
knob this No 2 plane dates from 1921 and would be a type 12 with a low front
knob of an earlier type 11. The wood is very nice. Well over 95% of the original japanning. It is not pitted and there are no other issues. The camera light glare make the surface appear rustier / redder than it is. It looks better in person, and will detail out to be fine.

Stanley # 2 C
Corrugated Smooth Plane
This Stanley #2C corrugated smooth plane is in nice condition. It has developed
a nice even patina and there is just minor pitting and staining on the sole and
one side. #2's can sometimes be hard to date or type, but this one with its V
trademark logo cutter makes it a type 11, dating from between 1910 and 1918.
Its cutter is nice and near full length. The rosewood handle is nice. The bottom
has been lapped, and the same could be done to the sides to make it look even
better. The japanning is
over 90% and the cap is very nice. I guarantee the grooves to be "right". A
pretty nice example of a very hard to
find plane. Good + . . . . . . $375.00 SOLD!!
Stanley # 2 Smooth Plane
This Stanley #2 smooth plane is in very nice condition. It has developed a
nice even patina and there is no rust or pitting to speak of. #2's
can sometimes be hard to date or type, but this one with its original T
trademark logo cutter was helpful in pinpointing the type # 10. That logo
makes it a type 10 dating from between 1907 and 1909 after which the
logo on the cutter was again changed.
This plane has no condition issues
and is about as nice as one could ask for. Its cutter is nice and full
length. The rosewood handle
has nearly all of its original finish as does the nice low knob. The japanning is
over 95% and the cap is very nice as well. As I said, no apologies. A top shelf example nice enough for any collection.

# 2 C Smooth Plane
This is a very nice example of a hard to find # 2C smooth plane. Some people claim
that corrugated Stanley # 2 size planes are harder to find than the popular and
pricey #1 models. There is no pitting or damage. The wood is nice. The japanning is approximately 90%. A hard to find plane in collector condition.

Stanley
# 2 C Smooth Plane
This example of the hard to find Stanley # 2C smooth plane has a light
coating of the gloss lacquer that the collector use to coat the majority of his
planes with to prevent rust. It will come off with a bath of denatured
alcohol or steel wool and paint thinner.It has been said that corrugated Stanley # 2 size planes are harder to find than the popular and pricey #1 Stanley planes. Because of this some greedy and unscrupulous sellers have gone to the extreme of having grooves cut in to regular smooth bottom examples. Some were done very well and are hard to tell from originals, others were poorly done. I guarantee that the grooves in this are factory and that it is "right".
There is no pitting or damage. The wood is nice noting that it appears the top of the tote has been reshaped a bit. Also I believe a proper sweetheart era cutter has been installed as it has a different new like patina. . The japanning is approximately 90%. A hard to find plane in good + condition.
Good + . . . . .$450.00 SOLD!
Stanley
No. 2 Smooth Plane Very nice
overall condition. No. 2 Stanley planes can be hard to type or date exactly as they
did not have the same changes as say a #4 did that the type studies are
based on. With the nice, near full length V logo cutter, and low front
knob this No 2 plane dates from approx. 1910 -1918 and would probably be a type 11. The wood is very nice. Well over 95% of the original japanning. It is not rusty or pitted and there are no other issues. A nice plane.

Stanley No. 2 C Corrugated Bottom Smooth Plane
Nice enough! 80% or better original japanned finish. Near full length
cutter with Q logo dates it from approx. 1892 - 1906. The top of the cutter

The good looking proper Rosewood Handle has been glued about 1/2 way up. A
pretty nice example of a hard to find
Stanley smooth plane.Good + . . . . . . $395.00 SOLD!!
Stanley
No. 2 C Corrugated Bottom Sweetheart Era Smooth Plane Very nice
overall condition. # 2 Stanley planes can be hard to date exactly or type as they
did not have the same changes as say a #4 did. With the nice, near full length AA Sweetheart logo cutter, and tall front
knob this No 2 C plane dates from as early as 1923 and a type 12 to no later than the mid 1930s when
the design of the lever cap changed with a Type 16. The wood is very nice. Well over 95% of the original japanning. It is not pitted and there are no other issues. Different references claim that 2 C planes are harder to come by than the legendary Stanley # 1s that are bringing record prices these days. Looking at recent eBay results it seems No. 2s have been doing quite well as well. I guarantee the grooves / corrugations on this are "right" as well. A concern in todays world and going back a number of years.

/ Defiance / Eclipse # 2 Smooth Plane
This is a later #2 with the cutter marked Eclipse. The collector had it in
the Stanley collection and that is what the red tag on the side represents.
I initially thought he was dreaming, but in looking through John Walters ID & price
guide I see he was on to something. This is actually a quite rare and desirable
# 2 size plane according to that reference. It looks as though the front knob has been replaced, and the rear tote has been reglued. It is otherwise pretty nice.

# 2 Last Model "Long" Smooth Plane
I saw an online type study that deals with all the fine points of
this last model # 2 Stanley made between the years 1952 & 1964.
I never realized there were subtle variations within the "long" series.
That info can be found at this
link. Bottom line they made a change adding about 1/2 "
to the overall length depending on where you were measuring in 1952, and
production of #2 size planes ended in 1964. Super
original condition. A nice example!!Fine . . . . . $250.00 SOLD!!
