From the collection of Harold Unruh. Fine 400-800

B66-35 DOOR ROUTER PLANE.  Stanley No. 171. Part of Stanley's mission to provide a specialized plane for every task, the 171 was designed to cut mortise pockets for door hinges and locks.

B66-46 LOT OF TWO  BUILDING TOYS. Stanlo. In 1933, in the depths of the Great Depression when nobody was building, Stanley was desperate for new products, and hit on the idea of producing its own line of toys similar to the Erector Sets that had been introduced in 1913. Thus was born the Stanlo Master Building Set which, according to Stanley propaganda, was an instant hit and saved hundreds of New Britain jobs. Unlike Erector Sets, the Stanlo system didn't require nuts and bolts, but consisted of a series of metal plates in various sizes, shapes and colors with loops along the edges that could be joined together by inserting steel rods (like hinges). There were six types of Stanlo sets.  This lot includes the basic No. 1, and the No. 300 which was larger and included rubber tired wheels for making cars, trucks and busses.  The No. 1 is missing one end of the box but the lid is intact; the No. 300 has taped corners on the lid but has its parts sorted into their original compartments and includes an original instruction book. We can't swear that all the original parts are included but it looks like it.   Good+ 100-200

B66-47 CHAIN STITCH SEWING MACHINE. Willcox & Gibbs. Originally patented in 1857, manufactured by Brown & Sharpe, and one of the most collectible of the hand-operated sewing machines. Serial number A685641, which equates to having been manufactured in 1900.  10-1/2" long and 9" high; the gold decorative paint is in immaculate condition.  We haven't tried sewing with it but it looks like you could. Fine 200-400

B66-48 PENCIL SHARPENER. Guhl & Harbeck Jupiter. Manufactured by Guhl & Harbeck of Hamburg and marketed in the US as the "Jupiter," this was one of the largest and most elaborate of the turn of the century sharpeners.  This one, like most, is missing its sheet metal shaving drawer, which tended to fall out, but it is otherwise in very good condition with complete gold decoration.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 200-400

B66-49 PENCIL SHARPENER. Little Shaver. Patented in 1904 by Edward McDivitt of Belvidere, IL, and sold under various trade names, including Little Shaver, until about 1920; it consisted of a single blade on a rotating arm.  This one is in very nice condition with a 95% complete label pasted on the bottom describing in unnecessary detail how to use it. From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 150-300

B66-50 PENCIL SHARPENER. Peerless Whittler No. 3. The Peerless "Whittler" used a unique system of rotating cutter disks.  It was sold in the first decade of the 1900s, in both a two and three disk version.  This one is the two disk version, complete with its shaving drawer.  The paint is almost completely intact; the name is a little faded but the pinstriping is good.  The mechanism is stuck and needs some work, but otherwise a good clean example of a very rare early sharpener.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good 300-600

B66-51 PENCIL SHARPENER. Chelsea. Technically known as the "Standard" pencil sharpener but usually referred to as the Chelsea after its manufacturer, this very rare sharpener, sold only for a few years at the dawn of the last century, used a circular sheet of sandpaper rather than blades. Includes the sandpaper disk and is complete and working, with 90% original silver paint and "Pat Apd For" cast into side. One of these in the original box set the world's record for an antique pencil sharpener and was sold at Brown's 24th auction. From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 500-1000

B66-52 PENCIL SHARPENER. F.S.Webster. The Webster pencil sharpener was introduced in 1898 and sold through the mid 1910s.  Unusually tall at 7" with a base to allow it to be mounted to a desk.  Japanning still mostly intact but only remnants of its gold decoration; works smoothly.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 100-200

B66-53 CHECK PROTECTOR. Wiliams Automatic. Back in the early day of paper checks, check protectors were used to punch raised or perforated numbers to prevent forgery.  The "Automatic" check punch invented by John Newton Williams in 1884 was one of the most popular versions and was endorsed by U.S. Treasury Department.  It featured a rotating series of punches on a 6" square base.  This one is clean and functioning, with some corrosion on the nickel parts and loss of paint, but has most of its pinstriping.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky.  Good+ 350-700

B66-54 CHECK PROTECTOR.  Hoggson & Pettis "Standard." Back in the early day of paper checks, check protectors were used to punch raised or perforated numbers to prevent forgery.  Hoggson & Pettis was a New Haven company that patented and sold one of the earliest versions.  It had a cast iron body with a sliding punch, 9" by 5" and 7" high.  The name plate on the front is rusty, but it still has most of its decorative gold pinstriping.  Works pretty smoothly.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky.  Good 200-400

B66-55 CANDLESTICK TELEPHONE. Western Electric Co. No. 20AL. 12" high, includes transmitter and earpiece and ringer box with 60% intact Western Electric decal.  Has it's original wiring, but making it work is up to you.  Slight loss of black paint on the upright.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good 100-200

B66-56 TYPEWRITER.  Hammond No. 12. James Hammond, a Civil War telegrapher, patented his typewriter design in 1880; it used a hammer that struck the paper from behind to press it into the type shuttle to produce a more even image.  He produced a number of different models that were very successful; the No. 12, with its large celluloid name plate, was introduced in 1905.  It appears complete, with original ink spools and good platen, but needs work to make it function. The laminated wood base is coming apart.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good 300-600

B66-57 PANEL GAUGE. Unsigned.  21" stem, rolling wheel on the handle, wedged slitter.  The head has a convex shape and is locked by a large hand forged loop locking screw.  Well made. Good+ 40-80

Beech brace with heavy brass plating, rosewood head, marked "By Her Majesty's Royal Letter Patent" and based on Pilkington's 1852 patent.  Push button type chuck.  Also marked by T. Tillotson, which sold the brace.  A very clean, never polished, example of a beautiful brace that is far more rare than the Ultimatum designs.  Good+ 800-1200

Good+ 300-600

B66-102 IRON BRACE.

Lowentraut "20th Century."  Samuel Johnston of Leesburg, VA, received three patents for this gizmo, which was manufactured and sold by Peter Lowentraut of Newark.  The final patent was issued in 1901 and in celebration it was marketed as the "20th Century" model, which is cast into the side. Also has the patent date and "Territories for Sale S.J.

Marples Ultimatum.  Ebony, tight crack in grip, head has blank medallion so intended as a trade brace,  and one tight crack but no chips to edge, the ivory ring groove appears to be filled with something other than ivory.  Brass has uniform wear and a few dings, never polished.  A decent example.

B66-109 JOINTER PLANE. Kendall Patent Patented in 1858 by H.

B3 mark (five stars), and rated R2 (very rare) in Larson & Blanchard.  From the collection of Cliff Sapienza. Good 100-200

B66-110 PATTERNMAKER'S FILLETSTER PLANE.   7-1/2" by 2" rosewood body with squirrel tail, steel plate that protrudes 3/4" on each side and has two separate 1" cutters.  We've seen this type of filletster in the past and they're always user made, but this is the first one we've seen with cutters on both sides.  User name stamped near toe.   Good 60-120

B66-111 FORE PLANE. Not marked but looks European.  19" sole, 1-3/4" unmarked cutter.  Decorative design on tote and body around the knob.  Very unusual cutter holding and adjustment mechanism, lever cap with wingnut; there's a threaded rod behind the cutter that looks like it's intended to adjust the angle but it doesn't actually reach.  Dark reddish wood, throat has silver paint, bone inlay in front of throat.  We've never seen one quite like it.  Some scratches and dings but no damage.  From the collection of Cliff Sapienza. Good 100-200

B66-112 PATTERNMAKER'S SET OF INTERCHANGEABLE SOLE PLANES.  Unlike most examples that have a set of soles with different radii that attach to a plane body, this set consists of five separate wood plane bodies and a single tote that slides into a groove on the body being used. 8" long, each with its original matching cutter and marked with the size on the toe. A well made and unusual set.  Fine 120-240

B66-113 FORE PLANE. J. D. Kellogg. 16" sole, 2-1/8" cutter with illegible mark, slightly spalled, open tote.  Not to be confused with the more common James Kellogg, J.

Good+ 150-250

B66-117 TRANSITIONAL JACK PLANE.   The body of a No. 27 with a Type 5 Eagle mark on the toe.  However, it has a unique brass cutter holder with a lever-actuated depth adjustment and a gold painted lever cap.  The wood on the body, toe and knob is fine with original finish, the cutter holder/adjustment is well designed and made.  Maybe a prototype of some type, but no visible model shop number.  In any case, a unique and very intriguing plane. Good+ 100-200

B66-118 CENTER BEAD PLANE. I. Blosfom.  Cuts 3/8", 9-1/2" long by 3-1/2" tall, rounded chamfers. Some wear to integral fences at toe, age checks at heel. Prominent and large "U.S.M.

B66-119 REED AND GUIDE. I. Sleeper. The type that cuts single 1/4" reed with each pass, with then serves as a guide for the next pass.  Sole is 1-3/8" wide, fully boxed with lignum.  "A" mark, typical Sleeper wedge. 9-7/8" long, flat chamfers.  John Sleeper fought at Bunker Hill and was one of the most prolific planemakers of the colonial period. Very clean. Good+ 120-240

B66-120 ADJUSTABLE SASH PLANE.  R. Carter. Both cutters have hammerhead boxing, width adjusted by screws surrounded by brass diamond inserts in right cheek.  Richard Carter emigrated from England and made planes in Troy in the 1830s; like new with very clear mark.  Fine 100-200

Solid ebony throughout, 6-7/16" sole, 15/16" unmarked skewed iron and a separately wedged nicker.  Sliding depth stop held by two screws through brass strips.  Ivory scales for the depth stop and at both ends of the fence.  We don't know why the artist who made this wouldn't want to take credit but it's unsigned; it's from the late Bill Webber's collection and it's not out of the question that he may have made it himself.  In immaculate condition. Fine 400-800

B66-132 MODERN MAKER.  Wayne Anderson Mitre Plane.  Brass body with 6-1/2" dovetailed steel sole, rosewood bun, wedge and fill under the 1-3/4" unsigned iron.   "Wayne Anderson 2004" in script engraved on left cheek.  Anderson's planes are each unique and known for their decorative touches; in this one the bun, bridge, wedge and heel have a matching ridged pattern.   A work of art.  Fine 600-1200

Low profile with decorative shape, dark rosewood bun and fill, bun has split that is repaired with boxwood button. Gunmetal lever cap with large locking screw. A few casting flaws in left cheek.

Lever cap has small Spiers-Ayr mark, also marked G. Hawley, 1875. Wood clean, metal has a few surface oxidation spots.  Good 100-200

B66-141 INFILL MITRE PLANE. Possibly Erlandsen. Unusually short for a mitre, 4-7/8" long and the 1-1/4" unsigned iron is bedded at a steeper angle, so that it could be bedded bevel down to achieve the same effective blade angle as a traditional mitre without the iron protruding from the rear.  Rosewood fill, gunmetal lever cap.  Because of the angle, there is a wooden projection from the rear fill piece that acts as a frog to support the iron.  Construction resembles the New York infill makers who made tools for the pianomaking industry, and at least one of the handful of known examples is marked by Erlandsen.  A few small chips in the body and oxidized, a couple of checks in the wood.  There's some white markings on the heel that resemble a model shop number but we can't swear to it.  In any case, a very rare and desirable plane.   Good+ 1000-2000

B66-174 CHISEL-EDGE PLANE. Stanley No. 97. Type 2, some tiny chips on cutter edge that can be honed out, T mark, a few patches of light corrosion but no pitting, knob has light wear.  Good 200-400

B66-178 MILLER'S PATENT COMBINATION PLANE. Stanley No. 43. The consignor purchased this plane from the estate of Jack Catlin, whose notes stated that it was the Stanley Model Shop prototype of the Type 5 with a Model Shop tag.  However, the tag disappeared, and appears to have been removed by the estate auction staff who didn't realize its significance.  In any case, it is in absolutely immaculate and unused condition, probably the nicest No. 43 we've ever seen, with a full set of cutters in original mahogany box.   Fine 2000-4000

B66-179 CARRIAGEMAKER'S RABBET PLANE.  Stanley No. 10-1/2.  Notched rectangle on cutter, plain lever cap, high knob. Japanning so perfect we had to look carefully to make sure it wasn't repainted. Wood and metal like new.  Fine 250-500

B66-184 COMBINATION PLANE. Siegley No. 2. Similar to the version shown in PTAMPIA I, Figure 110, but with one piece wooden fence; incorrect patent date stamped on side.  Wood and metal very clean, with nickel nearly complete; one cutter.  Fine 100-200

B66-190 BLOCK PLANE.  Amos Kindred. By all accounts this looks like the block planes manufactured by Metallic Plane Co., including an Excelsior iron, but Kindred was selling nearly identical planes shortly after Metallic Plane Co. ceased operations. According to PTAMPIA I, page 155, Kindred likely purchased existing inventory from Metallic at their closing, and examples of Kindred's planes had the front rib ground down. 5-1/2" sole, 1-1/2" marked cutter, wood wedge a little narrow. Good 100-200

B66-191 LOOM SHUTTLE PLANE. These specialized planes were designed to ride in tracks so that the sides of a textile mill shuttle could be planed exactly square to each other. This one is marked only with the number "1231" cast into the rail, and we're not sure who made it, but unlike most it still has its track, with mostly intact decorative gold paint.  14-1/2" long, rosewood knob and tote, with an unmarked 1-1/4" cutter.  There are some chips to the tote and grunge to the metal, but overall in good condition.  These things, with their original track, are extremely rare.   Good+ 300-600

B66-194 SIDE RABBET PLANE. Stanley No. 79. Type 1 without the depth stop; uncommon japanned finish only used during W.W. II.  Notched rectangle cutters.  A few spots of surface corrosion on the metal but japanning 100%. Fine 100-200

B66-195 SMOOTHING PLANE.  L. Bailey Victor No. 4.  Super clean example of this 9" smoothing plane with cast iron tote and Bailey's 4/10/77 cutter adjustment patent, designed to get around the patents he had assigned to Stanley.  Japanning mostly complete and possibly retouched, original cutter with clearly marked lever cap, knob and lever cap castings clean and crisp.  There are three spots on the sole where it looks like round cork pads were glued. Fine 300-600

B66-196 HAND BEADER.  Stanley No. 69.  Plating 95%+, wood fine, has one double-ended cutter. Good+ 100-200

B66-197 JOINTER.  Meriden Malleable Iron Co.  Based on Solon Rust's 1882 patent which is stamped on the wide brass adjustment knob characteristic of these uncommon planes. 18" sole, 2-3/8" original marked cutter. Japanning 99%, wood and metal near perfect.   Fine 300-600

B66-199 SCREW-ARM PLOW PLANE. Greenfield/D.R. Barton No. 532. Solid boxwood plow made by Greenfield for Barton.  The Greenfield mark on the toe is very faint and it appears that a deliberate attempt was made to remove it by shaving off the tip of the toe; it is also marked by Barton with a clear No. 532.  The boxwood is creamy and very clean, noting a couple of small thread chips.  W. Butcher cutter.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 200-400

B66-200 SCREW-ARM PLOW PLANE. M. Crannell. Rosewood body, wedge and boxed fence, boxwood arms, nuts and shoulders. One tiny chip from threads and some chips from the wedge, otherwise like new.  A mark, upside down, and user name on toe.  Moulson Bros. No. 2 cutter.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 200-400

B66-201 BRONZE ARM FILLETSTER PLANE.   Unsigned and looks British, the arms continue through the body with inside and outside nuts.  The arms, nuts and shoulders are bronze with decorative details, including turned knobs on the ends, knurling on the nuts, and rosewood inserts in the shoulders.  Red beech with full boxing on the sole and boxwood fence.  Skewed 1-1/8" cutter with separately wedged nicker and brass depth stop.  "A.

From the collection of Eric Cubic. Fine 200-400

B66-210 BEST IN THE WEST FAVOR.  Router.  The miniature tool favors produced by the Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors to commemorate their biannual Best in the West meets are legendary and collectibles in their own right.  In addition to the ordinary favors that are available to all attendees, the Club also produces a limited number of special favors in exotic materials.  The 2002 favor was a patternmaker's router, and this is one of the special favors, with a silicon bronze body and rosewood knobs and base.   Mint in its original packaging with paperwork.  Fine 250-500

B66-211 2008 BEST IN THE WEST FAVOR. Block Plane.  The miniature tool favors produced by the Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors to commemorate their biannual Best in the West meets are legendary and collectibles in their own right.

B66-212 LOT OF PNTC MEMORABILIA.  The bronze striking knife produced by the Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors for the 2012 Best in the West meet, plus two other items that weren't the official favors but were produced in connection with BITW meet:  a 5" brass turnscrew marked with the 2014 meet, and a folding stainless steel keychain pocket knife with a 1-1/2" blade marked with the 2008 meet.  All in immaculate condition.  From the collection of Eric Cubic.  Fine 150-250

B66-215 MODERN MAKER.  Bob Baker Mitre Plane. 7" long, brass body with dovetailed steel sole.  Ivory infill at toe and under cutter, 1-7/16" unmarked snecked iron.  "Rob't Baker 1980" engraved on brass lever cap.  "XX" stamped on edge of sole at heel which means it was No. 20 in this series.  There are a few spots of oxidation on the cutter and the brass but no rust or pitting; the brass has never been polished.  Like everything Bob made, a work of art.   Fine 1000-2000

B66-216 MODERN MAKER. Bill Carter Miniature Mitre Plane. 4-3/8" cast steel body with dovetailed sole and scalloped upper edge, ebony fill and wedge. 1-1/16" snecked iron marked with "Sarah & Bill Carter Leicester" and the bridge is marked "Carter Leicester"; "Carter" in both places is in script.  Scalloped edge on the wedge matches the bridge.  Cutter has some oxidation but no pitting; otherwise near mint and a thing of beauty.

Unsigned, hand carved brace, 17" long with 9" sweep, rotating head, octagonal chuck with brass ferule and locking wingnut.  There are seven spoon bits of different sizes (one missing), all original to the brace, plus a very unusual 15" extension.  All nicely displayed on a 26" by 40" framed display board.

B66-221 ANALYTIC SCALE.  Christian Becker Chainomatic. Patented in 1916, this type of scale uses a continuous chain rather than individual weights for more rapid use.  11-1/2" by 19" and 20" high, appears complete and working and in near mint condition.  Drawer includes a set of weights. Fine 100-200

B66-222 BEAM DRILL Unmarked and we don't recognize it but undoubtedly manufactured and almost certainly patented. Unlike most, it has a solid cast iron folding frame with a small round wooden seat.  There's an elaborate cog-driven mechanism for lowering the drill head as it is rotated.  In addition, when the drill is operated there's a linkage that causes a plate at the bottom of the upright to move back and forth, causing the drill to "walk" sideways; the purpose of this baffles us.  22" high and long, red japanning that is worn but 75% complete.  Unusual. From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good 100-200

B66-223 TOOL CHEST. 38" by 19" and 21" high.  Elaborate brass strapping on the outside, original latches and two handles on each end.  The inner lid has extensive decorative inlay.  The lettering is very ornate and hard to decipher, but it looks like "J.F. McNeil", "Victor, Colo" and "March 8, 1899."  Gold was discovered in Victor in 1894 and the city became a center of Colorado mining; this chest made its way to the West Coast so may have originated in Colorado.  Three lift out and four sliding trays; edges of the chest and the trays have inlaid work as well.  Some wear, but overall in very good condition; an exceptionally attractive chest with a history.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 600-1200

B66-224 TOOL CHEST. 21-1/2" by 37" and 19" high; dark stained pine.  The lid has a polished burl panel with SCHMIDT in gold painted lettering with border; the panel drops down to reveal a saw compartment.  4" crack in the upper corner of the panel.  Eight sliding compartments.  Original working lock with keys; handles on both ends.  There are a variety of tools that presumably belonged to Mr. Schmidt and that we are including with the lot.  An honest and well made chest. Good+ 300-600

B66-225 FOOT POWERED MORTISING MACHINE.  C.B. Rogers No. 6. Rogers, founded in Norwich, CT, in 1854, described the No. 6 as their "large" mortiser, and they weren't kidding.  This thing is 36" wide by 48" deep and 66" high.  It was also known as the "Fay" mortiser, having been originally manufactured by J.A. Fay & Co., which in the 1840s was the largest maker of woodworking machinery in the world, based on Page's 1833 patent.  Wood frame with cast iron mechanism; the catalog shows it with a spring pole mounted to the wall above it to return the chisel to its original position after the mortise is cut.  You'll have to provide that, but it has four of the original five chisels and original wrench.  What's there is in very clean and working condition and with a 60% intact paper label.  BTW - the catalog noted that the shipping weight was 300 pounds and that "boxing is extra"; it will be extra with us too so make sure you are willing to pay for the shipping before bidding absentee.  Good+ 400-800

B66-226 TREADLE OPERATED SCROLL SAW.  Seneca Falls Mfg. Co. The name is worn off, along with about 60% of the pinstriping, but appears to be the Challenge model, with 14" pulley.  Has the optional drilling attachment, but without the separate pulley belt.  Main pulley belt looks original and pretty worn.  White paint on the frame about 50%.  Has the Seneca Falls name and patent date for Lewis's tilting table (which Seneca acquired when it purchased Lewis Bros.) cast into the frame.  Treadle mechanism works but needs some adjustment; wood and metal clean. Good 300-600

B66-227 PEDAL OPERATED WATCHMAKER'S LATHE. Brass mechanism, unmarked except for the letters "G.P.P."; cast iron base is also unmarked but with a number "2".  18" by 18" and 48" high; works smoothly and in beautiful condition.  Fine 600-1200

"B66-228 TIME CLOCK.  National Time Recorder Co. Oak case, 13-1/2"" by 15"" and 38"" high, glass door with ""National Time Recorder Co., Ltd. Patentees London S.E. 1"" reverse painted.  Cast iron mechanism to stamp time cards.  The clock works and keeps decent time, we can't swear to the card stamping mechanism.  There's a drawer with one original time card.  Wood case has some mild scratching and scuffs, clock face very clean.  From the collection of Harold Unruh.

 Good+ 200-400"

B66-229 CASH REGISTER. National Cash Register Model 452. Solid brass on oak base with marble shelf, crank type mechanism, Empire casting.  Mechanism works to open the drawer but probably needs some work.  Tape printer on left side.  Glass intact and clean.  Serial Number 12-5566. Extremely heavy so be prepared to pay extra for shipping if bidding absentee. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 1500-3000

B66-230 SLOT MACHINE. Caille Bros. Superior Bell. Ten cent mechanical slot machine manufactured by Caille Bros. of Detroit in the early 1900s.  14" by 13" and 24" high, oak case with nickel plated front.  It comes with an operating manual, in good clean condition and seems like it ought to function, but we couldn't get it working.  We'll let you fiddle with it.  It comes with an oak pedestal, 17-1/2" square and 34" high, with plated claw feet and decoration.  Unfortunately, the key to the slot machine doesn't open the door on the pedestal.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 3000-6000

B66-231 CASH REGISTER. National Cash Register No. 50-1/2. Nickel plated brass, dolphin style casting, "Amount Purchased" top sign, tape printer on right side.  The drawer opens and bell rings when any key is pushed.  11" by 16" and 23" high.  Original wood base, marble shelf.  Serial number 553518.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Fine 800-1500

B66-232 AUTOMATIC COIN CHANGER.  Brandt Junior. Aluminum, 11" by 9-1/2" and 18" tall.  Very clean, all keys work but we can't swear that it makes correct change.  Missing the side coin chute. Serial Number R-87-43702.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good 200-400

B66-233 WOODEN LATHE. Unsigned and possibly craftsman made.  Oak, 36" long and 18-1/2" wide, 14" high.  Fixed headstock with pulleys, sliding wood tailpiece, sliding tool rest.  Well made and attractive. Good+ 100-200

B66-234 COMBINATION SCRAPER AND SPOKESHAVE. Steiger Patent.  John Steiger of Cleveland was primarily a maker of cooperage tools, including keg shaves and traditional spoke shaves, and in 1866 he received this patent for a combination tool that, according to Tom Lamond (pages 291-92) was unique in its method of clamping the cutter from the rear. Examples of Steiger's patent are much more rare than his conventional shaves. 16-1/2" wide with a 4-1/2" cutter; it has "J.G. Steiger, Cleve., O" and "Pat Applied For" cast into the cutter clamp, just barely legible. The wood has some chips and a hang hole, the cutter is spalled with surface rust.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 200-400

B66-241 SPOKESHAVE.  E. F. Dixie. 10" wide with 2-1/2" cutter.  The shave shown in Lamond, Figure 4/9 (top), except that the cutter is marked (faint but legible).  Traces of japanning. Good+ 100-200

B66-247 SLIDING T-BEVEL.  Stanley.   Stanley's first bevel, based on Traut's 1871 patent, offered only in 1871-72 and never assigned a model number.  10" blade, 6-1/2" cast iron handle with walnut infill.  The small brass tab on the end wasn't described in the patent and appears to have been included to make it easier to open the blade.  Near mint condition, clearly marked with patent date on blade.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 400-800

Whitescarver's Calculating Protractor."  Mr. Whitescarver was a resident of Richmond who apparently attempted to patent his instrument in 1859; after the Civil War broke out he obtained patents for this thing and another unspecified surveying instrument from the Confederacy and made a living teaching engineering and surveying.  He may also have served in the Confederate Army.  Brass is oxidized but undamaged.  From the collection of Chuck Morgan. Good+ 150-300

B66-254 IVORY THREE FOLD RULE. Three-fold, six inch, ruled in inches, round brass hinges.  Unmarked but definitely English; a very uncommon form.  One tight check but overall clean.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good 100-200

Rabone & Sons No. 1380 Four-fold, two foot wide unbound rules, six in their original box.  New old stock, never used.  Each of the rules still has its red tape and the box is intact with original tissue packing paper.  Although unused, there is some tarnish on the brass from sitting and the red tape may leave some residue.   Fine 100-200

B66-260 BRASS PLUMB BOB. All brass with no steel tip, unsigned, 4-1/2" long, a few minor dings and scratches. From the collection of Pat Gefre. Good+ 80-160

B66-261 SLIDING T-BEVEL. L.D. Howard. Good example of Howard's 1867 patent, the version manufactured by him in St. Johnsbury, VT, before Star Tool.  8" blade, 5-3/8" handle, brass with rosewood infill stamped with Howard's name and patent date, level vial original and wet.  Some light corrosion on blade and a few dings on the handle.  From the collection of Steve Dice.  Good+ 200-400

B66-263 HUMONGOUS SET OF TRAMMEL POINTS. Cast brass, with 5" by 7" bodies,  16" from knurled locking screws to iron points, weighing in at 15 lbs. Includes cast brass shoes.  According to Steve's notes, these were made at the Bratton Iron Works of  R & J Reeves & Son in Wiltshire, a manufacturer of agricultural implements founded in 1808.  He speculates that they were produced to showcase the firm's casting abilities which makes sense as they're far too large to be used as trammels.  In immaculate condition. No keeper so masking tape holds the shoes to the frame.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 500-1000

B66-264 GRAVITY INCLINOMETER. Wm. Melick Patent.  The rare cast iron mantle clock style. Gold pinstriping and lettering on the reverse side fully intact, dial has light tarnish but works smoothly, no damage to the cast iron frame. Fine 500-1000

B66-265 CAST IRON INCLINOMETER. Davis Level & Tool No. 3. 18" version of the classic filigree inclinometer.  Transitional model; it has the heavier filigree of L.L. Davis but otherwise is consistent with the Davis L&T design.  Fully intact with complete japanning, dial clean, original vial.  Tiny casting flow on lower rail.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 200-400

B66-266 BRASS-STRAPPED LEVEL.  Stanley No. 12. The fully brass strapped rosewood No. 12 was the most labor-intensive to produce, and consequently the most expensive, level in the Hall & Knapp line.  Unmarked but unmistakable.  A handful are known that are not marked by Hall & Knapp and were apparently produced by Stanley to use up the stock after it acquired H&K, but they are never marked by Stanley.  Missing two screws on the top plumb vial cover; all other screwheads original with some mild corrosion, brass has light dinging but no damage, wood very clean.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 300-600

B66-267 GRAVITY INCLINOMETER. Unsigned and user made. 11-1/2" by 4" mahogany stock.  The weighted pointer is made of sheet brass behind a glass plate.  An exceptionally well made and attractive example.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 200-400

B66-268 CAST IRON LEVEL. Davis Level & Tool No. 8. Type 4 of Davis's 24" carpenter's level with acorn finials on the vial containers and brass plate under the level vial. Filigree and japanning completely intact, good original vials. Looks like it was made yesterday.   Fine 150-300

B66-269 USER MADE INCLINOMETER. Rosewood with heavy brass plating on front, rear, top and bottom.  5-1/4" by 4" high.  Center opening is 2" in diameter, the angle of the vial can be adjusted with a screw on the lower rail.  No markings, but beautifully made.   Fine 300-600

B66-270 MANTLE CLOCK INCLINOMETER. L.L. Davis No. 1.   Second version of the classic inclinometer as manufactured by Davis prior to the formation of Davis Level & Tool, with detent screws at 2 and 10 o'clock and locking screw on top.  The signature gold highlighting is absolutely perfect as a result of it having been kept in a custom made mahogany box. Brass dial oxidized but undamaged, needle and vial perfect.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 400-800

B66-271 BRASS BOUND MACHINIST'S LEVEL.  Stratton Bros. No. 10. Type 4 of Stratton's signature product, the 6-1/2" version that never had a plumb vial.  Looks like it was made yesterday, the cleanest version we've ever seen. Fine 200-400

B66-272 CAST IRON LEVEL. Winchester No. 3618. 18" version of the Winchester line of carpenter levels.  Being stored in a felt-lined mahogany box has kept it in absolutely immaculate condition; there is one tiny loss of japanning but otherwise like new.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 150-300

B66-273 USER MADE LEVEL. Steel body, 17" long, with decorative pattern of holes to reduce the weight, black paint, level vial and two plumb vials in aluminum holders. Very slight paint loss, but overall in near mint condition, probably as a result of being housed in a sliding lid wooden box.  All vials original and wet.  A very unusual and attractive level. Fine 200-400

B66-274 LEVEL. Barnes Patent.  Patented by Edwin Barnes of Boston in 1875 and features mirrors mounted next to the plumb and level vials to make them easier to read from different angles. For some reason, the few known examples are marked "Pat. Sept. 26, 1874", which wasn't a Tuesday and also doesn't appear to be a Canadian patent date. 30" long and made of lignum vitae. The brass has been polished, and there are some splits in the stock.   A very rare level in nice clean condition. Good+ 400-800

B66-275 GRAVITY INCLINOMETER. Deck Patent. The inclinometers patented by Thomas Deck of Toledo and manufactured by Deck's Gravity Level Co. have an unusually  elaborate balancing mechanism to support the needle that tends to make it very sensitive but not very practical.  This is the 24" version.  As with many examples, the needle tends to stick, but otherwise a clean example of a very uncommon and collectible inclinometer.  If you want to spring for an absolutely mint example in the original box, see Lot 575.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 200-400

B66-276 HUDSON VALLEY STYLE LEVEL.  J.M. Davidson. Not marked, but the construction is very similar to Davidson.  He marked his levels in the wood, and the mark could have been polished out.  It includes a top mounted level vial with spring adjustments, and face mounted level and plumb vials in adjustable cast brass holders with "waffle" pattern. 30" red mahogany stock with brass end plates.  All vials original and wet, very clean. Good+ 150-250

B66-277 BRASS BOUND LEVEL.  Goodell-Pratt No. 4028. After G-P acquired Stratton Bros. it continued Stratton's signature line of brass bound rosewood levels for a period. This 28" model is marked with the Stratton eagle as well as the G-P name, which is unusual.  The laminated three-part stock looks like ebony, which would be unusual and may have been a special order, the grain is beautiful and almost flawless.  The brass has been polished so that the markings on the vial surround are faint but still legible; all vials original and wet.  It includes a set of Stanley level sights that came with it so we're including them.  A stunning level. Fine 150-250

B66-278 INCLINOMETER. Bradford Union.  These levels with their distinctive semi-circular central vial were patented in 1904 by John Happle, and most of them were sold by the Bradford Union company of Bradford, PA.  This is a typical example, 24" with cherry stock and aluminum rails.  A few minor scuffs and stains but overall near fine. Good+ 200-400

B66-279 SELF SETTING SMOOTHING PLANE. Gage Tool Co.  8" wooden body transitional made by Gage Tool Co. before its acquisition by Stanley.  Wood is very clean with original finish, metal has moderate surface corrosion but no deep pitting.  Best of all, it has its original Gage Tool Co. tag, fully intact. Good+ 100-200

B66-280 LOT OF TWO COACHMAKER'S PLANES. Both with very short soles and large handles for use in confined spaces.  One has a 1-1/2" square steel sole with heavy iron bedded nearly vertical for scraping; the other has a 1-7/8" by 2-1/8" copper-lined concave sole and more decoratively carved wedge and squirrel tail handle and knob.  Both unsigned; the copper soled one has "H.C" stamped in both cheeks.  Well made and attractive.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 200-400

B66-281 LOT OF TWO REVERSIBLE PLANES. A variation on the patternmaker's variable sole plane.  Two plane bodies with different curvature on top and bottom, each has two throats and one wedge so the cutter can be inserted in either direction.  It came with two cutters, both marked I.H. Sorby, but presumably there had to be two others to match the different soles.  Solid boxwood, each about 8" long, one is 1-1/2" wide and the other 1-3/4".  Both stamped "I. Barrett."  Boxwood is generally clean with a few stains.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 150-300

B66-282 SET OF TWO COACHMAKER'S PLOW PLANES. A matched right and left handed pair, dark wood with steam-bent squirrel tail handles, designed to cut 1/4" groove for insertion of paneling.  4-1/8" steel fences that extend to cover the entire face of the plane as a wear guard.  Unsigned and beautifully made.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 200-400

B66-283 FIGURAL WOOD PLANE. 5-1/4" compassed sole with 1-1/4" Joh. Weiss skewed iron, spalled.  The knob is in the form of a man's head and shoulders, finely detailed; the wig suggests an eighteenth century gentleman of means.  There's also a rosette on the wedge and linenfold carving in the throat.  Some light wear to the wood but the carving is well preserved.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 200-400

B66-284 ROSEWOOD JOINTER.   Unsigned.  24-3/4" razee body, closed tote, two-part bun, wedge with decorative ogee profile.  2" Sandusky double cutter, slightly spalled and with light pitting.  Solid rosewood throughout; the body has an attractive sapwood streak at the toe end of the left cheek.  A couple of very small tight checks in the body but otherwise in immaculate condition.  The nicest example we've seen. Fine 200-400

B66-285 DECORATIVE JOINTER. Unsigned.  36-12" sole, front knob has a decorative breaking wave pattern, offset closed tote with a pattern that looks like three letters - could be "FSC," which were probably the initials of the maker.  There's also a decorative linenfold pattern in the throat.  Knob and tote both pegged.  The wood looks like cherry and is in immaculate condition, noting only a couple of splits in the front knob.  2-1/2" Weldon double cutter, slightly spalled.  A beautiful plane.  Good+ 150-300

B66-286 DOUBLE-BODIED HAWK PLANE. Hawk planes have a v-shaped sole and a pointed cutter; equipped with a plow type fence they were used in shipyards to score lines along the planking in a ship's hull to guide the painting of stripes.  This isn't the first one we've seen with a double body, but what's unusual about this one is that one has a flat and the other a compassed sole.  We're not sure how that would work, but they're both clearly original to the plane.  Slide arms are locked by hand-carved wingnuts in both bodies, each body also has a wooden depth stop with a locking wingnut.  Wood oxidized and with some checks and scratches but no damage.  One depth stop is jammed. Toe of the flat sole body is faintly marked "W. Soule"; there were a number of planemakers named Soule but this was probably the owner.  Very unusual. Good+ 100-200

B66-287 SET OF MINIATURE BOXWOOD PLANES.  Galpine. 26 total.  A variety of different profiles, including rabbets, with flat and compassed soles, scrapers with vertically bedded cutters, etc.  All approximately 4" long and stamped "Galpine."  Each has a hole drilled through the body behind the throat.  Some have mild staining but most generally clean and undamaged.  One cutter missing.   Good+ 300-600

B66-288 PANEL RAISING PLANE. Unsigned, sliding fence type, 16-1/4" long, 4-1/4" skewed cutter.  Unlike most which have a full-length wooden depth stop, this one has a brass depth stop with brass wing nut.  There's a small chip from the end of the tote and some checks in the body, otherwise like new.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 200-400

B66-289 CORNICE PLANE. Unsigned, "C" profile in Whelan Figure 11:11, 3-1/2" wide, center mounted open tote, apprentice hole.  Birch, 12-1/4" long, some minor scratches and checks and a large chip from the toe end of the sole, otherwise very clean. Good+ 80-160

B66-290 PATENTED REBATE AND BEADING PLANE. W. Greenslade. One seriously weird plane. It has a sliding filletster type fence and a normal cutter, the only other one we've seen it's a rebate, but on this one it cuts a 1" bead, with a matching fully boxed concave sole.  It features a rotating cutter ring, controlled by an angled screw in the toe, to cut different diameter smaller beads. It also has two separate depth stops of which only one is adjustable, and a wedged nicker. Stamped "W. Greenslade, Bristol", "Patent", and "Exhibition Medals London, Dublin, Paris, Melbourne" on the toe. There's a picture of this monstrosity on page 169 of Tony Murland's value guide, where he rates it as a five star rarity. From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 800-1600

B66-291 LOT OF TWO SIDE BEADS.  Holtzapffel. 3/8", corner boxed, and 3/16", full boxed,  both with open throats and screwed on battens.  Marked Holtzapffel, 64 Charing Cross Rd. on toes.  Mint condition, appear to have never been used. Fine 150-300

B66-292 LOT OF TWO MOTHER PLANES. Israel White. One to cut a 1/2" flute, with attached batten and apprentice hole, the other a 1" round.  Overall moderate wear and chipping.  The round has three slots in the sole that may have held boxing.  Both have the O mark with three "I.W"s; according to AWP the O mark (four stars) was used by White exclusively for mother planes and these may have been White's shop tools.  From the collection of Carl Bopp. Good 300-600

B66-293 LOT OF HOLLOWS AND ROUNDS. Ohio Tool Co. 26 planes in total.  There's an almost complete No. 72 set, with Nos. 1 through 9, missing only the No. 5 and No. 9 rounds.  A No. 10 pair from a No. 73 set.  Plus four additional sets, No. 2, No. 4, a pair marked No. 6 but only 5/8", and one marked No. 8 that are only 3/4".  All very clean, marked by OTC and most also marked as owned by S & J.H. Whitaker of Toledo. From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+  400-800

B66-298 COACHMAKER'S ROUTER. 1-3/8" reversible cutter locked with handforged wingnut, 18" wide overall, good wood handles. Unusual. From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 75-150

B66-331 CORE BOX PLANE. Bayley.  Marked G.I.C. Co., Springfield, OH, but patented by John McCauley of Springfield, OH, in 1904 and manufactured by William Bayley. G.I.C. refers to Grey Iron Casting Co., which was one of Bayley's companies. Has patent date cast in body. Very gizmoish with a worm gear activated cutter that rotates with each stroke. Japanning near complete, nice and clean. Unfortunately mechanism needs some tinkering.  Good+ 100-200

B66-338 CORRUGATED SOLE JACK PLANE. Edwin Hahn No. 6C. 15" sole, Japanning 95%, 2-1/8" original marked cutter, mild chipping on tote. Hahn worked in Wilkes-Barre and may have had a connection with Siegley. Good+ 75-150

B66-339 TAILED BLOCK PLANE.  Stanley No. 15-1/2. Type 5, proper marked TM-A.4 cutter, japanning worn at toe and ribbon-style lever cap but otherwise good, knob has one significant gouge and some scratches. Good 100-200

Mathias Mayo's improvement to Phillips' original design.  Early version with assembly numbers, rosewood strip that runs half the length of the fence.  Nice and clean with the decorative red and gold pinstriping that characterized these planes almost entirely intact.

B66-342 SMOOTHING PLANE.  Morris Patent. Patented in 1870 by Ellis Morse of Salem, OH, and marketed briefly by Sandusky as the "Diamond" plane for the diamond shaped pattern in the sole designed to reduce friction.  This is the 11-1/2" coffin-shaped version with cast iron body and maple infill.  2-1/4" unmarked cutter with surface rust and spalling.    Japanning mostly gone and wood has wear but no damage, metal good.  Nice clean example of a rare early plane.  Good+ 500-1000

Based on Holly's 1852 patent; the design shown in Figures 39a of PTAMPIA I with the 9" dimpled sole, but without the screwdriver slot in the cap screw.  2" original Moulson Bros. cutter, slightly spalled.  Very clean overall with some wear to original maple tote. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 300-600

B66-344 SMOOTHING PLANE.  Rodier Patent.  Affectionately known as the "squiggly plane."  Louis Rodier's 1879 patent was for his adjustment mechanism, intended to simultaneously regulate the set of the cutter and the width of the mouth, but his planes are best known for their corrugated sides and the serpentine grooves cast into the sole, pictured but not claimed in the patent.  9-1/4" sole, 2-1/8" Buck Bros. cutter.  Nickel worn off lever cap and some grunge but no damage, maple tote and wooden knob very clean. Good+ 300-600

B66-345 ADJUSTABLE PLANE.  Walker Patent. Decent example of the third model of Edwin Walker's famously gizmoish plane with body comprised of eight plates that could be rearranged to change the profile.  No cutters, missing the lever cap, split in tote, patches of light surface corrosion.  From the collection of Harold Unruh.

B66-347 CORE BOX PLANE.  Lewis Patent.  Patented 12/4/66 by Elisha Lewis of Philadelphia. See PTAMPIA I, Figure 276. This is the larger of the two sizes that have been located, 9" long and 7" across.  The cast iron fence is intact with the patent date cast into it.  The knob that rotates the cutter doesn't engage properly and needs some work if you actually want to use it, but all parts are present; good clean tote.  Rated R2 in Larson & Blanchard. Good+ 300-600

B66-348 BRITISH PLOW PLANE.  Silcock & Co. The earliest known metal plow, patented by James Silcock in 1844.  Unlike most examples, it still has its original brass plaque on the skate, and is also marked on the toe with "112."  Cast iron frame with beech tote and skate attachment, original depth stop and one original cutter.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 1000-2000

B66-349 IRON BENCH PLANE. Loughborough Patent. Among the rarest and most sought after of the early patented planes,  based on William Loughborough's first 1854 patent and manufactured for two years by G & J Telford of Rochester. Identical to the example shown in Figure 20 of PTAMPIA I, including the markings cast into the toe, but with an intact tote. 11" sole, 2" unmarked cutter. Surface oxidation but no damage.  One of the holy grails of patented plane collectors.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 1500-3000

B66-352 JACK PLANE.  The Challenge.  The Challenge plane was patented in 1883 and 1884 by Arthur Goldsborough of Washington, DC (even in the nineteenth century the source of some really bad ideas), manufactured by Iver Johnson, and sold (briefly) by Tower & Lyon. See PTAMPIA I, page 166.  This is the 15" jack plane version with the word "Challenge" and the patent dates cast into the yoke.  Japanning 90%, wood and metal otherwise very clean. A very nice example of a very rare plane. Fine 1000-2000

B66-353 MODERN MAKER. Replica of Tidey Patent.  Faithful full size reproduction of M.J. Tidey's patented double beveling plane. Solid rosewood throughout, four ivory tips with some tight cracks, otherwise mint. Not signed, and the consignor actually wasn't sure if it was original, but it looks too clean to be 150 years old, and Jim Leamy is known to have made a few of these in exotic woods with ivory tips.  A thing of beauty. Fine 3000-6000

B66-354 INFILL PANEL PLANE.  A. Mathieson & Son. Steel body with 14-1/2" dovetailed sole, ebony bun and tote, Saracen mark on toe is very faint as a result of polishing.  Unmarked lever cap.  The plane itself is immaculate, but unfortunately the iron has gone missing.  Find a proper 2-1/2" iron and you've got yourself an absolutely stunning plane.   Good 200-400

B66-355 INFILL SMOOTHING PLANE. Spiers No. 7. Steel body with dovetailed 8" straight sided sole, rosewood fill and open tote, 2-1/4" Ward & Payne iron, gunmetal lever cap with "Spiers Ayr" stamp.  User name stamped on toe, otherwise like new.  From a legendary collection of infill planes.

B66-357 BULLNOSE PLANE.   Unsigned and craftsman made.  Solid gunmetal body with 3" sole, 1" E. Preston iron with about 1/2" left.  Dark rosewood wedge that doesn't fit the body profile very well and may be a replacement.  Overall very clean. Good+ 100-200

B66-358 INFILL REBATE PLANE. A. Mathieson & Son No. 849. Steel body with 9" sole, rosewood fill and wedge, 1" W. Marples iron.  Probably made by Norris for Mathieson.  Toe has Saracen mark and "Steel" stamped at edge of sole.  There's a crack in the fill at the heel around the spalled strike button, some wear to wedge and user names stamped in wood.  Cheeks have oxidation but no pitting.

Norris No. 22.  Cast steel London pattern body marked "Steel" on toe, 7-3/4" sole, rosewood fill and wedge, original 1-1/4" Norris iron numbered to the body, marked on the toe.  The wedge (which doesn't have the assembly number but looks proper) has some wear and there's a tight check in the fill at the base of the toe, otherwise very clean.  From a legendary collection of infill planes. Good+ 200-400

B66-362 INFILL SMOOTHING PLANE. Spiers No. 6. Spiers' improved pattern, but with cast gunmetal rather than steel body.  7" tapered sole, rosewood fill, 2" Ward & Payne double iron, small "Spiers Ayr" mark on gunmetal lever cap.  Three prominent user names stamped on toe and tight check in the fill under the iron, but wood otherwise clean;  body has the toolbox rash that gunmetal acquires over the centuries but no damage.  From a legendary collection of infill planes. Good+ 600-1200

B66-363 INFILL MITRE PLANE.   Unsigned and craftsman made.  Cast steel body with 10" sole, ebony fill and wedge.  There's an unusual dappled pattern in the wedge, apparently designed to make it easier to grip, that is matched by an ebony piece on the heel.  Plated steel knob, gunmetal bridge with decorative shape.  1-3/4" Isaac Greaves iron.  A very unusual, attractive and well-made mitre.  Fine 300-600

B66-366 ADJUSTABLE BRACE.  Sutton Patent. Unmarked but appears to be an example of Delay Sutton's 1875 patent as manufactured by the Diamond Wrench & Tool Co. of Portland, ME.  The patent describes a single-jaw chuck design, and also describes a wrench frame in which the chuck assembly and knob can be slid to different positions, or reverse or removed entirely for carrying or storage.  This brace has a standard Barber-type chuck, but has the second feature.  15" long, 11" sweep at its lowest position.  There's a small split in the beech grip and some light surface pitting but overall clean.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky.

Fine 200-400

B66-368 BOW DRILL WITH BOW.  George Buck. George Buck of Tottenham Court Road, London, was a planemaker and dealer, and many if not most of the tools marked by him were actually made by others. This is a heavy, well made drill of dark rosewood and brass, 9" long, with Buck's name and address engraved on the brass collar. One small split in the handle.  The bow is a good match but does not have Buck's name engraved on the brass collar; it has "C. Fiona Paris" on the blade.  Good+ 150-300

B66-369 JEWELER'S DRILL.  Whitney Patent. These cast iron drills with elaborate red and gold pinstriping were marketed by Tower & Lyon and are identified in advertising as “Whitney's Patent" although the only Whitney's patent that corresponds with the date is for a method of manufacturing drill bits. This one is 7-1/2" long, and the characteristic pinstriping is almost entirely intact with one small damaged area on the gear wheel. Good+ 150-300

B66-370 SURGICAL BRACE. Unsigned, nonmagnetic metal and presumably aluminum, uncommon 13" long bit with rounded head that appears to be a form of trepanning bit.  11" sweep,  in very clean condition.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 100-200

B66-371 MULTIPART POD BRACE. Very unusual brace made of four separate parts - the grip, two risers, pod and handle.  The two risers insert into the grip and are held by wooden pins, and the pod (missing its bit) is held by a wedge behind the chuck.  The rotating head assembly is inserted into the rear riser and doesn't have a wedge or pin.  17" long, 8" sweep, unsigned but with good age and a couple of inactive worm holes.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good 100-200

B66-372 JEWELER'S BOW DRILL. Holtzapffel. 6-1/2" long including friction-fit bit.  Ebonized wood handle with fluting, stamped "2" on end.  Brass spool with "Holtzapffel London" stamped around center.     Fine 200-400

Rosewood fill, sliding chuck with short nozzle, Shamrock trade mark on medallion, complete ivory ring yellowed, one chip from the edge of ebony head but wood otherwise very clean.  Brass has been polished and the marks are partially polished out but still legible.  Rosewood ultimatums are very uncommon.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 400-800

B66-374 TRIPLE CLAW HAMMER. Resembles the Yonge patent on page 27 of The Improved Hammer but looks smith made and unmarked. Face is spalled and chipped, 7" original handle with split on end, Unusual.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good 150-300

B66-375 SALESMAN'S SAMPLE. Tyrod. D.C. Filatreault patented the "Backbone" hammer on December 9, 1924, which consists of a hammer with a steel rod which passes through the length of the handle, which is dovetailed the entire length (see The Improved Hammer, page 31). This is presumably a salesman's sample with the bottom half of the hammer missing to reveal the rod and end screw, as well as a cutout in the head. 50% label on handle, mild wear and oxidation. Examples of the "Backbone" hammers are uncommon, so this sample is genuinely rare. From the collection of David Jeffers.  Good+ 150-300

B66-376 FILEMAKER'S HAMMER. J. Bayliss.  6" original handle with leather thong at end, 4" head, includes three original chisels to cut patterns on files. Handle is a little loose but original. J. Bayliss cast into underside of head. From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 200-400

User initials A.L. on one side of head.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 50-100

B66-378 LOT OF TWO BUNG EXTRACTING HAMMERS. These things show up occasionally and are marked simply "Pat'd"; Baird & Comerford identifies it as a bung-extracting hammer (page 37) but doesn't identify the patent. The spike is driven into the bung, and the wing-nut then forces it out. One head is complete with replacement handle, other has original handle but no wing-nut. From the collection of David Jeffers. Good & better 250-500

B66-379 NAILING HAMMER. D. Maydole. Super clean with 75% original Maydole label on 13" handle. From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 100-200

Butcher cutter.   D mark, without journeyman initials, and serial No. 62.  According to AWP, there are eight surviving numbered examples made by White himself (six without the bridge and two with) and not marked by a journeyman; so this makes the ninth.

Good+ 400-800

B66-429 2000 BEST IN THE WEST FAVOR.  Plumb Bob.  The miniature tool favors produced by the Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors to commemorate their biannual Best in the West meets are legendary and collectibles in their own right.  The 2000 favor was a 2" long acorn shaped bronze plumb bob with decorative surface casting.  Mint in its original packaging.  Fine 150-300

B66-433 COACHMAKER'S VERTICAL SHAVE. Bronze, 12" long with elaborately cast handles, the cutter is mounted in the center with the blade protruding on either side to work narrow spaces.  Well made and unusual.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 120-240

B66-434 WOODEN SHAVE. 15" across, 5-3/4" fixed blade held by two hand-cast brass wingnuts.  What sets this apart are the elegantly turned handles, and the beautifully grained rosewood with a sapwood streak, which transform a commonplace tool to a work of art.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 200-400

B66-435 COACHMAKER'S DOUBLE HANDLED ROUTER. 16" across, dark stained wood with extensive brass trim including brass fences.  Unsigned but clearly the work of a master craftsman.  There's a crack running across one handle and halfway across the other, the handles are held together by brass strips that bridge the crack, but it looks like the brass was originally decorative rather than being a repair.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 300-600

B66-436 SET OF TWO COACHMAKER'S PLOWS OR JIGGERS. Right and left handed set, 8" s-shaped rosewood bodies with steel heads to hold long curved cutters designed to cut 1/4" grooves in curved surfaces to insert paneling or glazing.  See Whelan, Figure 13:86.  Both are signed "C.

B66-442 DECORATIVE TRY SQUARE.  W. Marples & Sons  Another example of the class of British Victorian tools from the Dice collection, and the only one marked by the maker.  Marples advertised this pattern in its 1876 catalog as "fancy shield." It's marked "patent"; presumably a reference to Marples' registered design patent No. 3835 which is found on some of its earliest squares.  12" wide unruled blade, 8" ebony handle with one brass edge and inlaid brass pattern.  The handle on this one is more worn than the others but it's intact with a couple of tight checks.  Good 100-200

B66-443  DECORATIVE TRY SQUARE.   Another example of the class of British Victorian tools from the Dice collection.  12" wide unruled blade with some light pitting, 8" dark rosewood handle with one brass edge and decorative quatrefoil escutcheon.  Tight short split in handle between escutcheon and end.   Good+ 100-200

B66-444 DECORATIVE TRY SQUARE.   The last example of the class of British Victorian tools from the Dice collection, and in our opinion we saved the best for last.  15" wide unruled blade and a 9-1/2" ebony handle with German silver edges and very elaborate escutcheon and end cap, original intact level vial in handle.  One tight split in the handle; very light pitting on blade. Fine 250-500

B66-445 COMBINATION BEVEL. Van Amringe Patent.  One of the most gimmicky and attractive of patented bevels as well as an uncommon California patent; 14" ebony body with two bevel blades and a saw, level and plumb vials, brass fittings including a plaque with Van Amringe's name and "Oakland California" engraved. One of the arms is engraved with his two patent dates. Complete with all parts including intact saw blades, both vials original and wet.  There's some light oxidation on the blades which is typical, but overall a very clean example.  If you want a full set of all Van Amringe types, see Lot 712. Good+ 500-1000

B66-446 DATED 1726 TRY SQUARE. 5" iron blade, 3-3/8" brass handle with ogee end and the name "Mr. Daniel Voster Corke", the date 1726, and some additional lettering engraved on the side.  There's a word after "Corke" but its obscured by a hole in the handle.  There's a brass lozenge on the handle that looks like it might pivot out to form a bench rest but it's stuck and we don't want to force it.  Two holes in the blade and handle and some scratching, but in good condition for 300 years old.   Good+ 300-600

B66-447 IVORY RULE METRIC. Stanley No. 40 CM. Four-fold, 40 cm, German silver caliper and square joint.  Manufactured from 1876-79 only.  See Scott Lynk's "Stanley Special and Custom Rules", page 259.  Has its pins, very slightly sprung, lightly yellowed.  From the collection of David Jeffers.

Adjustable T-bevel patented by George Miller in 1874; the uncommon version with heavy brass handle with decorative pattern.  8" blade marked with patent and manufacturer, 5-1/4" handle.  The try square has the same handle and is marked by the same manufacturer; 8" unruled blade and 4-3/4" handle.  The bevel is rare enough but we've never seen a matching try square.  From the collection of Steve Dice.   Good+ 300-600

B66-449 IVORY CARPENTER'S RULE.  Stanley No. 86. Four-fold, two foot, unbound, German silver hinges.  Straight and tight with all pins, lightly yellowed throughout, a few scratches to outer faces.  Good+ 200-400

B66-450 COMBINATION TOOL. Thomas Patent.   Very rare example of the combination bevel, try square, marking gauge, rabbet plane and level patented in 1882 by Carroll Thomas of Lincoln, IL. There are only a handful of these around and the manufacturer is unknown. See PTAMPIA I, page 210. The characteristic red japanning on the handle is about 75% complete, the blade has surface oxidation but no rust or pitting, and the button that locks the sliding marking gauge point is stuck; otherwise clean and complete. One of the great combination tool gizmos.  Good 600-1200

B66-451 BEVEL GAUGE. Skinner Patent. Patented in 1874 in William Skinner of Milford, MI; it consists of a brass gauge designed to be screwed to a bevel so that the blade can be set to a precise angle.  It was marketed by the "Quadrant & Novelty Works" of Milford and was a resounding flop; first one we've seen.  Marked with the patent date; the brass is oxidized but otherwise in immaculate condition.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 100-200

B66-452 BENCH LEVEL. L.L. Davis No. 37. 3-1/2" long, not marked on brass as was typical, japanning 50%, good vial.   Good 100-200

B66-456 FOLDING CALIPER RULE. Negretti & Zambra. Four-fold, approximately two foot, German silver hinges and sliding caliper.  It's marked "Swedish" and ruled in Swedish inches as well as centimeters.  Clean and straight with all its pins and only slightly yellowed.  Negretti and Zambra, one of London's premier instrument makers, was founded in 1850 and is still in business today, but the inclusion of Swedish inches dates this rule prior to Sweden's metric conversion in 1889. Fine 200-400

B66-457 MARKING GAUGE. Possible Model Shop Prototype. Two 8" stems, separated by 1/8" and  locked by a single wingnut on wide brass washer in rectangular head.  It has "E.A. Schade 7 1878" written in pencil on one stem and the number "719" in white which looks like a model shop number.  There's no record of Schade patenting a marking gauge; Stanley's double stem gauges are based on Traut's patent in which the two stems are adjacent to each other.  A long lost piece of Stanley history?  You be the judge!      Good+ 200-400

B66-458 MORTISE GAUGE.  Kenny Patent.    One of the rarest and most gizmoish of the patented marking/mortise gages, patented by George Kenny of Nashua in 1870. Has its original rosewood and boxwood heads and the often missing trammel points, all marking points sharp.  The rosewood head has a large crack, and there are no visible marks remaining on either head, otherwise clean and complete.

Whitney, Maker" and fleur-de-lis at north, "Philadelphia" at south.  One level at south.  The case is turned by an uncommon cog mechanism which doesn't have a knob; either the knob has been lost or it was meant to be turned with a small wrench.  The glass face has come loose and can be stuck inside the cover if the cover is not removed carefully.  Serial number 277.  Brass is tarnished but undamaged.  Whitney was listed as an instrument maker in Philadelphia from 1802 through 1824.   Good 250-500

Fine 500-1000

B66-478 POCKET RAILROAD COMPASS. W. & L.E. Gurley No. 262. Gurley's line of "pocket" compasses were designed for greater portability than full size compasses, and were offered in plain, railroad and vernier models.  The folding vanes could be used in the traditional manner, but Gurley also offered a version in which the vanes were offset from center, and could be folded together to support a sighting telescope.  This is the railroad model designed to be used with the scope, but unfortunately the scope is missing.  4-1/2" needle with silvered dial, in original mahogany box with Gurley's optional four screw leveling base; good label in the lid.  A little tarnish on the brass, but otherwise in very clean condition.  If you want to see one with it's proper scope, check out Lot 479.  From the collection of Chuck Morgan.  Good+ 200-400

Cal."  Will & Finck was established in San Francisco in 1864 as cutlers, surgical instrument makers and locksmiths; their knives are rare and highly sought after by collectors.  Handle has honest wear but no damage, blade is clean and sharp. Good+ 1000-2000

Good+ 100-200

B66-495 FORE PLANE. Sandusky Tool Semi-Steel Co. No. 19SC. Although Sandusky was known for producing excellent products, it occasionally took a flyer on some genuinely weird designs, and this is one of them. Patented in 1928 by Wilbert Schwer, the company secretary, it has a single large nut that serves both as a depth adjustment and lateral, and was marketed as part of Sandusky's "semi steel" line. See PTAMPIA I, Figures 334 and 336, this is the No. 19SC corrugated sole fore plane, the rarest type of a very uncommon line.   18" sole, original marked 2-1/4" cutter; japanning fully intact and pretty darn close to mint. From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 300-600

B66-496 CHAMFER PLANE. Craftsman made; it has "A. Jones" stamped on the lever cap and heel.  Open toe type, 6" sole with 1-3/4" W. Marples cutter held by a sliding brass bracket and brass lever cap.  Well made and unusual. Fine 200-400

B66-498 SMOOTHING PLANE.  Birmingham Plane Co. 9" version of the bench planes made by Birmingham based on Mosher's 1884 patent.  1-3/4" replaced Sandusky cutter.  Japanning 50%.  Has the two part clamp plate shown in PTAMPIA I, Figure 233b.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 200-400

B66-499 POCKET BLOCK PLANE.  Bailey Victor No. 12.  Good clean example of Bailey's 4-1/2" pocket block plane, all original,  casting on knobs a little worn but clear, japanning 90% with most wear on cheeks. Good+ 200-400

B66-500 SMOOTHING SOLE PLANE. Iver Johnson  No. 1205. Based on O.R. Chaplin's 1888 patent for the cutter adjustment, and manufactured by Iver Johnson, an arms manufacturer who added (and patented) the vulcanized rubber tote that had been used for pistol grips (fine on this example).  Corrugated on both the top and bottom of the 9" sole, with "Chaplin's Improved" cast around the knob and "No. 1205" ahead of the throat.  Original marked 2-1/8" cutter.  The various patent dates are also marked (faintly) on the cheek.  Nickel has mostly worn off the lever cap and there is some light overall pitting, front knob worn.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good 80-160

B66-501 NUMBER TWO SIZE PLANE.  Stanley No. 2C.  Low knob, "Stanley" lever cap, T mark on cutter.  Japanning complete, wood fine, nickel plating on lever cap worn but intact. Fine 200-400

B66-502 COACHMAKER'S RABBET PLANE.   Solid bronze casting, 4-3/4" sole, slightly compassed, squirrel tail, 1-11/16" cutter, down to last 1/2".  Stamped "W.J. Hutchinson" in several locations.  Beautifully made.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 200-400

B66-503 SMOOTHING PLANE. Sargent No. 710. Good example of Sargent's "auto set" design based on Page's patent in the 10" length.  Tote has well reglued split and wear, knob also worn, but japanning complete and metal clean.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good 60-120

B66-504 LOT OF TWO GROOVING PLANES. Always unmarked, but we've seen enough to be pretty sure they were manufactured.  Solid brass bodies, 7-3/4" soles, with dark wood knobs and inlay on the totes.  One of these has a steel fence screwed to the left side which we haven't previously seen; possibly a user modification.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 150-300

B66-505 SKEW RABBET PLANE.   Craftsman made, 9-1/2" cast iron body with beech tote, 1-1/4" unmarked cutter.  What looks like a casting flaw in front of mouth and a couple of small chips from the tote, otherwise very clean.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Fine 150-300

B66-506 BULLNOSE BLOCK PLANE.  Stanley No. 101-1/2.  Authentic version with the finger rest.  Japanning 75%, original marked cutter.  Good+ 250-500

B66-507 MYSTERY PLANE. We have no idea what this was used for.  It has a heavy cast iron frame, 9" by 5", in the shape of a shallow tray, with fore and after boxwood knobs, and a 1-3/8" by 4" rectangular opening in the sole.  Two 2" Buck Bros. cutters are mounted at a slight angle to each other, so that the tips protrude through the rectangular opening just below the sole.  Some kind of router possibly?  It's completely unmarked, except for a "299" painted on the toe which could be a model shop number.  If you know what it is, please tell us.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 200-400

B66-508 LOT OF TWO COMBINATION TOOLS. Gladwin Patent.    Two examples of the cast iron version of P.A. Gladwin's 1878 patented combination plane and tool holder, one japanned (80%) and one nickel plated. Both have their original cutters but missing the knobs, just one accessory between them.   "Gladwin's Patent"  cast into lever caps.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good- 100-200

B66-509 BLOCK PLANE Bailey Victor No. 0-1/2. Original cutter adjustment, screw-type lever cap, original Bailey marked cutter worn short.  Crisp casting on knobs.  Repainted. Good+ 200-400

B66-510 PLOW PLANE. User made, the body is a piece of square iron stock, 7-1/2" long, fence made of steel rods with wood face.  Wooden tote and knob bolted to the body.  The fence locking screws, cutter depth adjustment, and depth stop all have identically knurled heads.  Undoubtedly made by a machinist with too much time on his hands, but actually well designed and pretty cool.  The name "A.H. Newton" is scratched on top of the tote.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 100-200

B66-511 T-RABBET PLANE. Cast iron body with squirrel tail handle, 5-3/4" by 1-1/2" sole. Unusual round headed steel wedge.  Has the initials "R.D" scratched on the handle and looks Continental.  Some black paint on handle.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 100-200

B66-512 CAST IRON PLANE. Very heavy casting and intended for some special purpose; possibly to trim printing blocks.  16" long, 1-1/2" cutter marked "Hawking 155 Lewis St."  Thumbscrew type lever cap, flatiron type grip, bolted to body, wide mouth.  Well made, whatever it is.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 100-200

B66-513 FILLETSTER PLANE. Metallic Plane Co. The plane shown in Figure 213 of PTAMPIA I but with the fence shown in Figure 214.  Excelsior marked cutter.  Tote has a minor chip at the edge, japanning mostly intact.  A rare variant of an uncommon plane.  From the collection of Cliff Sapienza. Good+ 300-600

B66-514 CORE BOX PLANE.  Collins & Rice. Unmarked but unquestionably the plane shown in Figure 269 of PTAMPIA II.  Patented in 1886 by Charles Collins of Cleveland; it closely resembles the No. 57 but with the wings hinged together.  11" long, the wings are each 8" with one extension.  The tote has some minor chips but japanning is intact and nickel mostly clean.   Fine 300-600

B66-515 VENEER SCRAPER.  Millers Falls No. 65. MF's answer to the rosewood-soled Stanley No. 12-1/2, it sold poorly and is very rare.  This one is in good condition with original marked cutter, japanning 90%, handle is very light grained, sole is scratched but no major damage.   Good+ 100-200

"B66-516 LYNCH SKATE PLANE. Not really a plane at all - it's a file holder patented in 1894 and specifically designed for sharpening ice skates - but it looks like a plane and is found in most plane collections.  Very clean example, 3-1/4"" body clearly marked with patent date, nickel plating intact.  From the collection of David Jeffers.

 Fine 50-100"

B66-517 SCRAPER.  Stanley No. 283. The rarest of Stanley's scrapers; near fine condition with japanning 95% and wood immaculate.  Fine 100-200

B66-518 FORE PLANE. Unmarked and craftsman made.  17-3/4" solid cast iron body, 2-1/4" Ohio Tool cutter held by a cast iron lever cap with thumbscrew, no adjustments, beech knob and tote.  There's a small crack in the knob but otherwise very clean.   Good+ 100-200

B66-519 SHOOT BOARD.  O.R. Chaplin's Patent. The version shown in the A. J. Wilkinson advertisement in Figure 196 of PTAMPIA I.  23" long with 2-3/8" unmarked skew cutter that's probably not original.  Board has adjustable fence with four stops at preset angles, plane has "O.R. Chaplin's Patent" cast in a circle with "2" in the center.  Good clean condition; nickel plating on handle intact.   A very rare shoot board. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good 800-1600

B66-520 MITRE PLANER. Millers Falls.  Patented in 1882 by David Rogers of Greenfield, MA, and marketed first by Langdon Bros. and then by MF after it acquired Langdon, this beast is generally regarded as the best combination shooting board and miter cutter ever made. Its bulk makes it very stable, the double-cutter plane cuts in either direction, and the swinging fence can either be used at preset angles or adjusted for individual angles. This is the middle size, with 3-1/2" wide skewed cutters.  All correct parts, original red and gold highlighting about 50%.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 1000-2000

B66-521 SHOOT BOARD.  Warren's Improved Mitre Plane. Manufactured by James H. Hall of Nashua and apparently based on John Emery's 1876 patent, which has adjustable fences and more closely resembles the Rogers patent (Lot 520).  Who was Warren?  No idea.  See PTAMPIA I, Figure 180.  Features a cast iron track mounted on a 32" wide wooden base with wooden fences fixed at 45 degrees.  Plane has two 3-1/2" skewed Charles Buck cutters and turned maple handle. Wood is worn but undamaged, metal clean.  There's an original label on one fence which is about 40% legible.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 1000-2000

B66-522 SHOOT BOARD. Jones Patent. One of the earliest patented shoot boards, covered by three separate patents from 1866 through 1874.  This the final final version, with a tilting bed to cut chamfers as well as an adjustable stop to cut mitres at different angles. The mechanism is mounted on an original wooden base, 31" overall, with a cast brass plaque with Jones' name and the 1874 patent date.  2-3/8" unmarked cutter.  Moderate wear to the wood but the metal parts are very clean and work smoothly. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 2000-4000

B66-523 QUICK-ADJUST PIPE WRENCH. Wakefield No. 2. Based on John Wakefield's 6/30/91 patent and marked with patent date (Schulz No. 727), 11" long, clean and in good working condition.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 100-200

B66-524 LOT OF TWO FRENCH COACH WRENCHES. One is 11" double jaw type with octagonal walnut handle; marked "Tout Acier Fondu" which translates as "all cast steel"; tight check in handle, jaws very slightly sprung, works smoothly.  The other is the same design but with an uncommon steel handle; 12" long, jaws slightly sprung.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 120-240

B66-525 BUGGY AXLE WRENCH.  Thompson Patent. Patented 11-2-1880 by Henry Thompson of Maine and manufactured by Portland Wrench Co.  The claimed improvement was that the locking nut could "be rapidly twirled by striking the respective arms successively."  11" long, tight check in handle, jaws slightly sprung, patent date cast into body.  Works smoothly and unusual.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 60-120

B66-526 PIPE WRENCH. Marked only "Pat. Appl'd For" and we're not familiar with it.  10" long, self-adjusting jaws that close as the wrench is rotated; in this case a hook on the handle forces the jaws closed.  The hook could also serve as pry bar, and there's a screwdriver blade on the end that makes us think it was designed a combination tool.  Well made, rust free, and works smoothly.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 100-200

B66-527 QUICK ADJUST NUT WRENCH. Unmarked, we don't recognize it and it kind of looks user made.  13" long, a thumb lever releases the lower jaw to slide along the square shank, and then  a knob at the end does the fine adjustment.  Cleaned and with a small amount of surface pitting, works smoothly.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 100-200

B66-528 ADJUSTABLE PIPE WRENCH.  Bahco. Bahco, founded in Eskilstuna, Sweden, in 1886 and still in business today, claims on its website to have invented the adjustable wrench.  This one is 11" long, with a lever activated jaw and an unusual knurled locking nut to tighten the jaw.  Marked AB Bahco and Made in Sweden; a little light rust but works smoothly.  Unusual.  From the collection of Cecil Holmes.  Good+ 80-160

B66-529 PIPE WRENCH. Balin Tool Co. Patented in 1940 by Oscar Becklin of Los Angeles and manufactured by the Balin Tool Co.  Spring-activated, self-adjusting jaws.  10" long, corrosion on one side.  An uncommon wrench.  From the collection of Cecil Holmes. Good 80-160

B66-530 DOUBLE-ENDED WRENCH. Baxter Patent. Unmarked as many are but clearly based on William Baxter's original 1868 patent. 10" long overall, some light surface pitting but good overall and works smoothly.  From the collection of Cecil Holmes. Good+ 60-120

B66-531 SELF-ADJUSTING PIPE WRENCH.  Bullard No. 2. Patented 10/27/03 by a Los Angeles physician and manufactured by the Bullard company of Providence.  12" long with its original spring, some light surface pitting but works smoothly. Schulz #665.  A rare wrench. From the collection of Cecil Holmes. Fine 100-200

B66-532 LOT OF TWO SELF-ADJUSTING WRENCHES. Both examples of the parallelogram design.  The first was patented in 1922 by Fredric Roberts and manufactured by the Hoe Corporation of Poughkeepsie; 14" version, clearly marked and very clean, noting that the end of the handle has been heated and twisted 90 degrees, presumably to give the user more leverage.  The second was patented by John Boulieu in 1910 and manufactured by the Lake Superior Wrench Co. of Sault Ste Marie; early type marked "patent pending" and without the spring to close the jaws; 10".  From the collection of Cecil Holmes. Good+ 100-200

B66-533 JACK PLANE.  Morris Diamond Patent.  The design patented in 1870 by Ellis Morris and marketed by Sandusky as the "Diamond" plane, designed to reduce friction. This is the version with the flat sole with decorative floral casting on top, patent date cast ahead of throat, shown in Figure 123 of PTAMPIA I. Very unusual to find these in the 16" jack size; the jointer is more common. 2-1/4" Moulson Bros double cutter that's probably a replacement and wedge a little loose, wood and metal otherwise very clean. Good+ 200-400

B66-534 CORE BOX PLANE. Lipsey. Aluminum wings fold in for storage. The handful of known examples, including this one, have "Lipsey Core Box Plane" and "Patent Pending" cast into the larger wing, but no patent is known. PTAMPIA I, Figure 283.  Japanning on the inside of the wings is 80%, good wooden tote.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 300-600

B66-535 JACK PLANE.  Hardy Patent. Patented by Cyrus Hardy in 1872 and sold by the Boston Metallic Plane Co., the large holes in the sole were supposed to reduce weight and friction.  This one is in good clean condition, noting a well reglued crack in the tote and a smoothed over chip from the right cheek.  15" long.  All examples have a cutter with a bent end that engages the depth adjustment, we've seen different types of chip breakers, this one is unmarked. The typical geometric design on the lever cap is worn but intact.  Rates R2 for rarity (5 to 25 examples) in Larson and Blanchard.   Good+ 400-800

B66-536 JOINTER.  Hardt Patent.  Louis Hardt of Yuba City, CA, patented this thing in 1893. It featured a nose piece that slides on an inclined plane to adjust the depth of cut. The patent shows a wooden plane, but the very few known examples are all cast iron, and most are smoothing planes. This is the super rare 24" jointer, identical to the one shown in Figure 262 of PTAMPIA I. Like all known examples, it has a marked Sargent cutter and Sargent horseshoe frog, but the lever cap has "Hardt" cast on the underside. Japanning 95%, some some small chips to tote edge and throat but otherwise a very nice example of one of the holy grails of patented plane collectors.  Good+ 2000-4000

B66-537 IRON PLOW PLANE.  Metallic Plane Co.  The plane shown in PTAMPIA I, Figure 215, with diamond pattern fence. Rosewood tote has a crack that needs regluing but is otherwise very clean, japanning 80%. "Metallic Plane Company Auburn NY" stamped on skate. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good 200-400

B66-538 SMOOTHING PLANE.  Worrall Patent. Before Thomas Worrall founded the Multiform Plane Co., in 1857 he patented a method of adjusting cutter pitch through a screw through the heel of the plane. Most of the surviving examples are jointers, but this is the rare smoothing plane length, identical to Figure 29 in PTAMPIA I, including the fact that neither the toe nor cutter are marked.  Wood very clean with original finish, a couple of scratches on the sole, metal near mint.   Fine 200-400

B66-539 FLEXIBLE SOLE PLANE.  Bailey Tool Co. Defiance No. 9. One of the rarest of the flexible soles and frequently mistaken for the Bailey Victor No. 10 that was manufactured by Stanley, this was based on Williams' 1875 patent and sold only for a few years by Selden Bailey. In addition to the sole adjustments it has a unique offset cutter adjustment.  Japanning 99%, metal very clean including only mild wear to nickel plated lever cap, very clear original battleaxe mark on cutter. Fine 250-500

B66-540 JACK PLANE.  Blandin Patent No. 13.  Benjamin Blandin of Charleston, MA, received his patent in 1867 for a vertical knob cutter adjustment that was pretty much a direct ripoff of Leonard Bailey.  It was a dud - Patrick Leach, never one to mince words, describes the design as "practically useless" - and examples are correspondingly rare.  PTAMPIA II, pp. 124-25. 14" sole with 2-1/4" Moulson Bros. cutter, chipped along the edge.  The vertical knob is marked "Blandin's Pat. May 7 1867" but you have to remove the cutter to see it.  Japanning 98%, hardwood knob and tote immaculate, some light corrosion on the cheeks.   Good+ 2000-4000

B66-541 NUMBER ONE SIZE PLANE.  Chaplin Patent No. 0. Smallest and by far the rarest of the planes based on Orril Chaplin's 1872 patent manufactured by Iver Johnson, and described as a "model maker's plane."  See catalog reproduced in PTAMPIA II, Figure 243.  5" sole, 1-1/8" unmarked cutter.  The cutter support (which Chaplin called the "saddle") is brass rather than the customary cast iron, and the cutter itself appears to be a replacement.   Nickel on lever cap is worn, and only traces remain of the red japanning on the bed.  Still an incredibly rare plane, with only two others known it will be a long time before you see another.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good 6000-12000

B66-542 BLOCK PLANE.  Gage Patent.  In 1913, some 30 years after he patented the self-setting mechanism that launched the Gage Tool Company and subsequently the Stanley line of Gage planes, John Porcius Gage took to his workshop again to improve the block plane.  The result was not a success - when Stanley bought the company three years later it had no particular interest in the 1913 patent - and examples are extremely rare.  There is one other example in Figure 137 of PTAMPIA I.  This one more closely resembles the patent drawings, with a low angle cutter and wide flat knob.  It isn't marked, and could be a prototype.  Japanning 95%, very clean, and possibly unique.   Fine 1000-2000

B66-543 COMBINATION DADO, RABBET AND FILLETSTER PLANE. Jensen Patent.  Patented by Conrad Jensen of Boston in 1872 and manufactured (briefly) by J.H. Lamb. Two beech bodies with boxwood screw arms and nuts. One body has a sliding filletster fence and skew iron, the other has a boxwood plow skate and adjustable nickers. One of those wacky gizmos that were irresistible to nineteenth century inventors but all too resistible to Joe Carpenter, and as a result very rare. Some small chips in the threads and a couple of largish chips from the filletster fence and some overall wear; missing the thumbscrew that locks the nickers.  In a user made wooden box with wear and several chips. Good 600-1200

B66-544 STANLEY MODEL SHOP PROTOTYPE.  Chamfer Plane. An early prototype of what would become the Stanley No. 72. It has a longer sole than the production model (10-3/8") and the sliding nosepiece is locked with a knob mounted on the cheek, which left room for a standard Bailey-type blade adjustment on the frog, with a recessed type M adjustment nut with patent dates. Cheeks are machined rather than japanned with a scale engraved on the left cheek, adjustable throat locked by front knob. J mark on cutter, rosewood tote. Model Shop No. 344 on toe. A unique piece of Stanley history, in immaculate condition.  From the collection of Paul van Pernis. Fine 5000-10000

B66-545 STANLEY MODEL SHOP PROTOTYPE.  No. 145 Combination Plane. This prototype differs from the standard No. 45 in that it incorporates the auxiliary stock patented by Eppie McColluch in 1893, which was adjustable both vertically and laterally, allowing the plane to be used with an irregularly shaped cutter.  The plane has "No. 145" cast into the body, and was undoubtedly intended to be released as an improvement on the No. 45, plans that were probably derailed by the depression caused by the Panic of 1893.  The McColluch auxiliary stock later surfaced as part of the No. 55, and the No. 145 went into the limbo of unproduced Stanley designs.  The plane is in near mint condition, with some rough casting as was typical of prototypes and a small chip on the tote.  The "526" model shop number is in both black paint on the toe and white paint on the tote.  A unique piece of Stanley history.  From the collection of Paul van Pernis. Fine 10000-20000

B66-546 STANLEY MODEL SHOP PROTOTYPE.  Chisel-Edge Plane. An early prototype for what became the No. 97 chisel-edge plane.  Unlike the production model, it is designed like a bench plane with the standard Bailey-type frog, including a solid adjustment nut with the two patent dates (but without Bailey's name).  The 2-3/8" cutter has a Type A mark on the underside, probably borrowed from a No. 6 or 7 and flipped over to bed it bevel up, and the cap iron is just a small metal insert to engage the depth adjustment, similar to a No. 9 or No. 11.  The angle is significantly steeper than on the actual No. 97.  It's in near mint condition, with fully intact japanning and a couple of tiny chips from the tote.  Unmarked but with certificate of authenticity. From the collection of Paul van Pernis. Fine 5000-10000

B66-547 STANLEY MODEL SHOP PROTOTYPE. Combination Match and Beading Plane. Unmarked, but only the twisted minds behind the Model Shop could have dreamed this thing up.  At first glance it looks like a No. 48, but instead of the swinging fence to allow you to cut both the tongue and the groove, it has a fence at right angles to the sole with a spring-mounted removable bead cutter that is held out of the way to use it as a fence, but then can be pressed down and the plane used on is side to cut a bead.  It has an odd thumb rest in place of a knob, and the cutters are not held by cap screws but are contained in a casing.  9" long, nickel plated with an early scroll-type casting on the tote.  Unique and pretty cool.  From the collection of Paul van Pernis. Fine 5000-10000

B66-548 HOLLOW AND ROUND PAIR. Tho. Grant. 1-1/8" but not marked as part of a set.  9-1/2", wide flat chamfers, fluting.  Mark is similar to the B mark but the initials under the crowns are "I B", very faint and almost invisible on the hollow.  Wood has light wear, very clean for its age.  Good+ 75-150

B66-549 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY MOLDING PLANE. N. Little. Quirk ogee, spring marked, 1-1/8", 10" long, beech, with wide flat chamfers and Sleeper type wedge.  There's a hollowed out space on the toe underneath Little's mark where something else was removed.  Very clean, near mint condition. Fine 100-200

B66-550 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY SKEW RABBET. I. Blossom. 1" skew rabbet, 9-1/2" sole with corner lignum boxing (uncommon for the period), flat chamfers.  Wood oxidized but very clean, noting a couple of inactive worm holes.  Blossom's mark, spelled "Blosfom" in the eighteenth century style, rates four stars.   Fine 150-300

B66-551 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY MOLDING PLANE. I. Blossom. 7/8" round, 9-1/2" long, flat chamfers.  Toe has the initials "L.P" in a cartouche under Blossom's mark (four stars).  Very light wear. Good+ 100-200

B66-552 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY SIDE BEAD. Jo. Fuller. 1/2" side bead.  This is an example of Fuller's early work, birch, 10" long with flat chamfers, decorative fluting and relieved wedge, C mark.  Light wear, one nail hole near the heel.   Good+ 60-120

B66-553 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY DADO. I. Sleeper. 3/4" dado with wedged double-sided nicker, 9-3/4", user name on toe along with Sleeper's mark, rounded chamfers, Sleeper wedge. Wood oxidized but otherwise decent, noting a significant chip out of the sole.  Good 75-150

B66-554 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY MOLDING PLANE. Tho. Napier. Cuts a 3/16" groove and probably part of plank match set; 9-3/4" long, riveted skate, flat chamfers, iron strip lining the sole.  B mark, three stars.  Wood deeply oxidized with mild wear. Good 60-120

B66-555 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY  MOLDING PLANE.  F. Nicholson. 3/8" hollow, 10" long, flat chamfers, good strong A mark.  Wood deeply oxidized with significant staining but wear is moderate.  Good 400-800

B66-556 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY JOINTER. Jo. Fuller. 27-1/2" sole, 2-3/8" cutter marked "P. Law", offset closed tote, iron strike button ahead of throat worn flat.  D2 mark, upside down, and three "IO" cartouches on toe.  Rounded top on wedge.  Two largish chips from the front of the sole have been glued back in and the tip of the tote is repaired, all repairs well done and no other significant damage.   Good 100-200

B66-557 YANKEE PLOW PLANE.  H. Wetherell  9-1/2" long, riveted skate, iron plate on fence, handcarved thumbscrews for arms and depth stop.  A mark with two crowns (three stars).  Typical splits in the fence shoulders and old chip from the front of the skate, wood otherwise decent with normal wear.  From the collection of Steve Dice.

B66-558 SET OF TEN MOTHER PLANES. Jo. Fuller. All 10", with flat chamfers, relieved wedges, A marks.  Various profiles.  Condition varies, some are very clean and some have significant wear.  From the collection of Carl Bopp. Good & better 400-800

B66-559 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY MOLDING PLANE. N. Briggs. Quirk bead and cove, 7/8", 9-5/8" long, flat chamfers, relieved wedge, wood oxidized with moderate overall wear.  Besides Briggs' mark (five stars) it also has user initials A.T.   Good 200-400

B66-560 RABBET. I. Lindenberger. 9-1/2" sole, 7/16" cutter.  Round chamfers and wood looks like cherry, which was typical of Lindenberger's later planes.  A mark.  Like new. Fine 75-150

B66-561 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY MOLDING PLANE. W. Powel. Recessed quarter round, 3/8", 10" sole, wide flat chamfers, Sleeper type wedge.  Wood is deeply oxidized with typical overall wear.  Besides Powel's mark (five stars) it has user initials on the toe and name on left cheek. From the collection of Carl Bopp. Good 150-300

B66-562 HOLLOWING PLANE. J.A. Gramling. Cuts a 2-1/8" shallow hollow, 15" sole with attached fence and apprentice hole, center mounted open tote.  Gardiner cutter with center slot.  The wood has lost most of its finish and has overall wear, including large chip from the top of the right cheek and split in the sole.  Five star mark.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good 100-200

B66-563 LEVEL WITH ORIGINAL LABEL.  Webb Patent. Edward Webb of Fitchburg, MA, received an 1886 patent for a cast iron level with the level and two plumb vials enclosed in a central compartment with an elliptical access plate.  The majority of known examples are completely unmarked, but a few are known with the name of Fitchburg Level Co., which manufactured the levels, cast into the cover plate.  See Rosebrook, page 112.  The rarest form have green paper labels on the cover plates, with "Empire Spirit Level" and "Greene, Tweed & Co., NY" printed on them.  These were probably also manufactured by Fitchburg and sold by New York hardware company Greene, Tweed.  The rarity of this version may be attributable in part to the fact that the label covers the screw that had to be removed to replace the vials. These vials are 99% complete and very clear.  The label on the reverse side reads "Patent No. 354,056" which is a typo; the actual patent number is 354,076.  All vials intact, japanning complete, the nicest example we've seen. Fine 300-600

B66-564 BRASS BOUND MACHINIST'S LEVEL. Stratton Bros. No. 10. Type 1 of Stratton Bros. signature brass-bound rosewood level with no sideviews and marked with just the original 1870 patent.  This is the 6-1/2" version, which didn't have a plumb vial.  A couple of tiny scratches in the wood but otherwise near mint. Fine 150-300

B66-565 MANTLE CLOCK INCLINOMETER. L.L. Davis. The first version of Davis's classic design, before the formation of Davis Level & Tool.  Detent screws at the sides and locking screw on top.  It doesn't have any trace of the gold highlighting and the japanning is so smooth and complete it could have been painted over, but it looks original.  The dial has a few small dents but has its original pointer and vial. Fine 200-400

B66-566 COMBINATION INCLINOMETER AND BEVEL.  Shoff Patent. Patented in 1873 by Christian Shoff of Osceola, PA; included a standard mahogany level and plumb with two rotating bevel arms locked by a cast brass thumbscrew against a brass scale. They come in various lengths, all of them uncommon; this is the 12" version.   Wood refinished and very clean with a couple of dings, the rotating arms have some light surface corrosion but no pitting.  Missing the scratch awl that should be inserted in the end opposite the plumb vial. Good+ 400-800

B66-567 LOT OF TWO  SIGHTING LEVELS. Lockwood Bros. These sighting levels, with a diagonal mirror so the user can sight through the top rail,  show up often enough to be classified as uncommon rather than rare, and for a long time their maker was a mystery, as they invariably have a paper label that is either completely illegible or marked simply "Patent Applied For."  Finally an advertising flyer turned up revealing that they were patented by one Charles Lockwood in 1892 and marketed as the "Straight Line" level by Lockwood Brothers of Rochester.  These are both 12", one has brass end caps and side views on the level vial, label worn and illegible, the other is a simpler construction without the end caps but a brass plaque surrounding the sighting hole, label nearly intact.  Good 80-160

B66-568 SIGHTING LEVEL.  J. Hicks. No. 30  Solid brass, 9-1/2" long with reversible sights, mounted on a tripod of three integral brass legs.  Marked "J. Hicks Maker London, Nov. 30 1903" on the side.  It also has "Silver Jubilee" under the vial, presumably in reference to the 50th anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign (which actually occurred in 1897).  Unfortunately the vial is broken and will need to be replaced; the cross hairs on the sights are also missing.  Otherwise very clean.   Good- 100-200

B66-569 LEVEL.  Kraengel Patent. Frederick Kraengel was born in Germany, immigrated to the US around 1833 and spent the rest of his life in Buffalo.  He received at least three patents, including one in 1881 for a level with vial protectors.  Only a handful of his levels are known, each is a little different and it looks like they were hand made and never successfully marketed.  This one is 12" long, with the level and plumb vials mounted at right angles in an assembly that rotates into a brass housing.  It is stamped "F. Kraengel, Buffalo, NY, Pat. Apld For" on the end.  Cherry, with a full brass bottom plate.  There's a screw inserted in the cheek that appears intentional but has no apparent function.  The rotating assembly is a little stiff and could use some lubrication, but otherwise very clean.  A very rare and intriguing level.  Good+ 500-1000

B66-570 BRASS BENCH LEVEL.  9" long, solid brass body with raised level vial on top.  Marked "Warranted" under the vial but no other indication of the maker although it looks English.  Brass is oxidized but undamaged; you can polish it if you want but we wouldn't.  In a handmade fitted mahogany box with a decorative shape. Good+ 100-200

B66-571 INCLINOMETER.  Davis Level & Tool No. 2. 12" long, delicate filigree but no gold highlighting, detent screw through top rail.  One corner missing and a crack next to the missing corner but it's on the bottom rear; the front is very clean with a couple of chips in the japanning.  Turn the bad side to the wall and you'll have a Davis at a bargain price. Good 100-200

B66-572 ENGLISH BENCH LEVEL. 12" long.  User made, presumably by Mr. W. Snell whose name is under the vial.  Decorative brass vial surround and tips on top rail, brass feet.  Not sure of the wood, but it's a light grain with flecks.  A heavy brass case has kept it in immaculate condition.  An exceptionally attractive level. Fine 150-300

B66-573 DAVIS PATENT LEVEL.  M.W. Robinson.  Robinson's version of Davis' 6" No. 5 carpenter's level, with "Davis Pat" and "MWR" cast below level vial.  Light corrosion on rails, some loss of japanning but only on one side. Good+ 150-300

B66-574 WOODEN LEVEL. Disston & Sons. Rosewood, 18", brass tips and sideview.  All vials original. Like new.   Fine 60-120

B66-575 GRAVITY INCLINOMETER IN ORIGINAL BOX.  Deck Patent. The inclinometers patented by Thomas Deck of Toledo and manufactured by Deck's Gravity Level Co. have an unusually elaborate balancing mechanism to support the needle that tends to make it very sensitive but not very practical.  This is the 30" version in its original box that has kept it in mint condition.  The best Deck patent we've ever seen.  Box has no label but original, missing ends and some tape. Fine 300-600

B66-576 LEVEL AND GRADE FINDER IN ORIGINAL BOX. Edward Helb Patent. Patented and manufactured in Railroad, PA, and often mistaken for a railroad tool, this was one of the more successful gravity inclinometers judging by the number that have survived. This one is in its original packaging which has kept the wood in immaculate condition.  The dial is also super clean, but some of the brass is tarnished, particularly the two vial surrounds.   Polish it up and you'll have a mint example of a level that, if not truly rare, is a wonderful gizmo.  Every collection needs a Helb. Good+ 200-400

B66-577 CARPENTER'S  LEVEL. J.W. Harmon. 26", mahogany, rectangular top vial plate and sideviews,  plumb vial in deeply scalloped hole.  Originally part of the Don Rosebrook collection.  A user made sliding lid wooden box has kept it in near perfect condition with crisp edges. Fine 80-160

B66-578 PLUMB LEVEL. 30" long, cherry with brass tips, original brass plumb bob in decorative cutout.    Has both level and plumb vials, original and intact, with "R.W. Tufig" printed under the level vial.  There's a 3" chip from one edge, and a repair at one end, but the wood is otherwise clean with some scratches and dings. Good 60-120

B66-579 CAST IRON CARPENTER'S LEVEL. Davis Level & Tool No. 5. Shortest, 6" version of Davis' cast iron level.  Type 3 with brass signature plate and turned acorn shaped finials.  Japanning near perfect, all vials wet.  Fine 150-300

B66-580 INFILL BULLNOSE CHARIOT PLANE. Unmarked, cast brass body with 3-1/2" sole, 1-1/4" unmarked cutter, rosewood wedge. Mild dinging but no damage. Good+ 100-200

B66-581 INFILL SKEW REBATE PLANE. Napoleon Erlandsen. 7-1/2" long cast steel body, 1/2" skew cutter, rosewood wedge. Has two holes in cheeks that may or may not be original, otherwise resembles No. 111 in PTAMPIA II, page 195, Figure 303. Strike button at heel is spalled and a few small spots of corrosion, otherwise a nice example. Good+ 200-400

B66-582 INFILL SHOULDER PLANE. Norris No. 18. 7-1/2" sole, steel bodied, 1" iron with rosewood fill and wedge, some surface rust on sole at toe. Iron, wedge and body have matching assembly numbers.  From a legendary collection of infill planes. Good+ 125-250

B66-585 INFILL MITRE PLANE. Gabriel Pattern.  Brass body with dovetailed steel sole, 10-3/8". A 2" Thomas Firth & Sons iron, rosewood fill and wedge, user names on toe and fill. Brass has oxidation but no damage, strike button spalled. Good+ 200-400

B66-586 INFILL LOW ANGLE SMOOTHING PLANE. Cast brass body with diamond touchmark in bridge, rosewood wedge and bun, 7-1/2" sole. 1-3/4" Thackery iron. Nicely made.  Good+ 100-200

B66-587 INFILL SMOOTHING PLANE. Scottish Pattern. Cast iron body with 9" sole, unmarked, mahogany fill. Gunmetal lever cap has heart and shield cutout, 2-1/4" Marples iron, decorative rounded toe shape on bun. Reglued tip of tote. Nicely made. Good 125-250

B66-589 INFILL SMOOTHING PLANE.  Stewart Spiers. Dovetailed steel body with 7-1/2" sole, rosewood fill,  2-1/4" marked iron, Stewart Spiers script mark on gunmetal lever cap. Several user names in wood. From a legendary collection of infill planes. Good+ 125-250

B66-590 INFILL SHOULDER PLANE. Norris No. 18.  7-3/4" sole, cast iron body, rosewood fill and wedge. Matching assembly numbers on wedge and body, but not on 1-1/4" Ward iron. Marked "Patent Metal" on heel, strike button spalled. Wedge has some wear but no major damage, light corrosion on cheeks. From a legendary collection of infill planes. Good+ 125-250

B66-591 INFILL SMOOTHING PLANE. Norris No. 2. Type 2, cast steel body with 7-3/4" dovetailed sole, rosewood fill. Original 2-1/4" Norris iron. Slight loss of finish on tote but no major damage, light pitting on sole. From a legendary collection of infill planes. Good 300-600

B66-592 INFILL MITRE PLANE.  Napoleon Erlandsen.  Marked by Erlandsen on toe extension, closely resembles Figure 264 in PTAMPIA I. 8-3/4" sole, 2-1/4" Buck Bros. iron, rosewood fill and pad on iron. The Erlandsens were among the small handful of European trained planemakers who made infills in New York in the late 1800s. A nice example. Good+ 250-500

B66-593 INFILL BULLNOSE PLANE.   Unmarked, 3-5/8" sole, brass body with rosewood wedge and unmarked 1-1/2" iron with some mild pitting but brass body nice and clean. Iron may be replacement. Good 100-200

B66-594 MINIATURE INFILL RABBET PLANE.   Unmarked, 4" sole, steel body, rosewood wedge, unmarked 3/8" iron. Looks like an actual working tool rather than reproduction and nicely made. Tiny chip in throat. Good+ 125-250

B66-595 INFILL SMOOTHING PLANE. Norris No. 51.  Cast iron body with 7-1/2" sole, rosewood bun and closed tote, has patent registration mark stamped on toe, 2-1/4" original marked iron. Gunmetal lever cap with "Norris 51 London" cast into it. Light oxidation but overall clean. From a legendary collection of infill planes. Good+ 150-300

B66-596 INFILL PANEL PLANE.  Norris No. A1.  Later type with 17-1/2" sole, cast steel body, dark stained hardwood fill and closed tote. Original 2-1/2" iron, wood and metal clean noting a few small spots of corrosion on the body, and a few flakes to lacquer on tote.  Good+ 200-400

B66-597 INFILL SHOULDER PLANE.  Gunmetal body with sweated steel sole, 8" long. Fill looks like dark rosewood. Reglued split on wedge, 1-1/4" Preston iron. A few dents on heel, light pitting on sole. From a legendary collection of infill planes. Good 75-150

B66-598 INFILL SMOOTHING PLANE. Mathieson.  Cast iron body, 7" sole, rosewood fill. 2" Hernshaw Bros iron, Mathieson mark on gunmetal lever cap. Light pitting on cheeks, mild wear on wood. Good 100-200

B66-599 INFILL PANEL PLANE. Stewart Spiers. Cast steel body with 13-1/2" dovetail sole, rosewood fill and wedge, Spiers-Ayr stamped on gunmetal bridge, 2-1/2" Thomas Ibbotson iron has chip near maker's mark. Has unusual round insert strike button on bun, possibly user modification. Light oxidation on metal, mild wear to wood.  Good 125-250

B66-600 INFILL SMOOTHING PLANE. Robert Towell.  Iron unhandled body with dovetailed 7" sole, rosewood fill and wedge. Faintly marked Towell at toe. 1-7/8" I & H Sorby iron with chipbreaker, both marked Sorby. Wedge has a few dings, mild oxidation spots on metal. Overall clean and nicely made. Good+ 200-400

B66-601 IVORY-TIPPED PLOW PLANE. Ohio Tool Co. No. 109. Solid ebony throughout and very clean, threads nearly intact with only a couple of old chips that are nearly invisible.  Four flat ivory tips with turned balls, lightly yellowed with a few cracks.  One significant chip from the bottom of the skate at the toe, otherwise only a few minor dings.  Sandusky cutter.  "A" mark without the model number.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 300-600

B66-602 WEDGE-ARM PLOW PLANE. W. Greenslade.  Unhandled, red beech with ebony wedges, brass tips on arms, church window depth stop, Thos. Ibbotson No. 6 cutter.  Wood has been polished and is in very clean condition, the wedges in particular are immaculate and may be later replacements, but if so they were very well done.    Fine 100-200

B66-603 UNHANDLED SCREW-ARM PLOW. J. Kellogg. Body, fence and wedge are a dark rosewood; boxwood arms, nuts and shoulders.  A couple of very small chips in the threads and typical light wear on wedge, otherwise immaculate.  One interesting feature that we haven't seen is that the screw that adjusts the depth gauge has notches, and there is a lever that locks it at various depths.  Possibly a user modification, but looks original.  B mark. An unusual and exceptionally attractive plow.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 150-300

B66-604 IVORY-TIPPED PLOW PLANE. D.R. Barton. Rosewood body, fence and wedge, boxwood arms, shoulders and nuts.  There are largish chips from the front of the fence and top of the tote, but otherwise very clean with intact threads; the turned ivory tips are lightly yellows and intact with one tight crack.  G mark.  A number of planes marked by Barton were actually made by other firms but this one appears to be made by Barton; it closely resembles in design the one shown on page 179 of Rosebrook and Fisher.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 300-600

B66-605 SELF-ADJUSTING PLOW PLANE. D. Kimberley & Sons. Good clean example of England's only three-arm plow, patented and manufactured by D. Kimberly & Sons. Less common handled version, wood and metal both very good with typical wear but no damage, has the often-missing wingnut. Toe is marked with the patent number and prominent user names.  Wm. Marples cutter.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 200-400

B66-606 FALCONER STYLE COACHMAKER'S PLOW. In 1846, Thomas Falconer received a medal from the British Royal Society of Arts for his revolutionary design for a plow plane designed for the ornate curved surfaces on coach bodies; it incorporated a squirrel-tail body with a short fence that could follow curves and a single arm with an adjustable spring steel fence.  Plows actually made by Falconer are incredibly rare, but other coachmakers were quick to follow the design.  This one is unsigned, with a 7-1/2" rosewood and brass body and 2-3/4" skate, wedged depth stop and nicker blade, and heavy brass arm with adjustable fence.  There's an old flaw in the handle where a bole in the wood broke out, but it is otherwise very clean.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 1000-2000

B66-607 IVORY-TIPPED PLOW PLANE. H. & W.T. Carey. Ebony throughout, four flat ivory tips with turned balls.  A couple of small chips in the wedge but the wood is otherwise immaculate, the ivory tips are yellowed and have cracks and chips but intact.  Carey was a hardware dealer in Xenia, Ohio, with a four-star mark; the plane was undoubtedly made by Ohio Tool.  OTC cutter. From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 300-600

B66-608 UNHANDLED SCREW-ARM PLOW. J & L. Denison. Solid boxwood throughout.  A couple of small chips from the threads, tight check in front shoulder, and a couple of other minor dings but overall a very clean and attractive boxwood plow.  Brothers John and Lester Denison made planes in partnership in the 1830s; John continued in business until 1876 but plows marked by the partnership are uncommon.  B mark, without the upper and lower decorations.  From the collection of David Jeffers.   Fine 200-400

B66-609 IVORY TIPPED PRESENTATION PLOW PLANE. W.L. Epperson. Solid rosewood throughout, including arms and nuts.  Turned ivory tips with what appear to be mother of pearl centers.  Brass inlaid decorations include a Masonic compass and square design with a "G" on the left cheek, six pointed star on top of body just behind the toe, heart shape on tote, string inlay on the edge of the fence, and a plaque on the body that was undoubtedly intended to be engraved with the name of the person to whom it was to be presented.  In addition, the tote has an unusually decorative shape.  The wood has been polished and is near perfect except for a small flaw in the fence face. Epperson was a Louisville plane maker who was also a cabinetmaker and luthier, and his planes often featured exotic woods and decorative inlays.  This is his B mark with the words "Made by" added; four stars.  W. Greaves cutter.  A truly unique and stunning plane.   Fine 5000-8000

B66-610 SCREW-ARM PLOW PLANE. E.W. Carpenter Patent. Very clean example of Carpenter's revolutionary 1838 patent. Boxwood body, arms and inner nuts, rosewood wedge and outer nuts, combination boxwood and rosewood fence.  There are unfortunately a couple of major chips from the threads, but they are placed so you can cover them with the nuts for display purposes, and the rest of the wood is very clean.  The oversized rosewood outer nuts, almost always found badly chipped, have only a few minor dings. The mark is uncommon; it's the D mark without the word "Patent", but has two names underneath it that are in the same lettering but look like users.  W. Butcher cutter. Good+ 750-1500

B66-611 GAGE SELF SETTING PLANE. Stanley No. G22 From the early stage of Stanley's ownership, toe is marked only with the model number but Stanley's name is on the metal plate. 10" sole and 1-7/8" cutter, wood clean with original finish, metal has light oxidation but no rust or pitting.  Good+ 60-120

B66-612 JOINTER. Worrall Patent. Uncommon variation on Thomas Worrall's 1857 patent that used a bolt through the rear of the plane to secure the cutter. Instead of having a full cast iron plate, it has a partial iron top with a socket for the tote. Like the fore plane in Figure 27a on page 29 of PTAMPIA I, with a 22" sole and no knob.  Lowell Plane & Tool Co. B mark on toe.  2-3/8" William Ash cutter, which were used by other Lowell planes and is probably original.  Wood has light overall wear but no damage, iron top plate has lost its yellow japanning. Good 80-160

B66-613 COFFIN PLANE. E.W. Carpenter Patent. Good example of Carpenter's March 27, 1849, patent, which used two wedges with the cutter held between them. We've seen this in jointers and occasionally a jack plane, but this is the first coffin smoother we've seen.  8-1/2" sole, 2-1/2" Humphreysville cutter, spalled.  B mark that includes the patent date (upside down), four stars in AWP.  Wood is oxidized with one significant check in the heel and a few small scrapes and dings. Good+ 150-300

B66-614 TRIPLE IRON CORMIER CORNICE PLANE.  Burnold Freres. Fillet, reverse ogee and quirk bead, 3" total profile, spring marked.  The body is beautifully made from three separate pieces of cormier wood, dovetailed together, 11" sole.  No tote, unusual for such a large plane, but an apprentice hole.  Stamped "Burnold Freres Lyon" with the address in an oval mark on the right cheek. Only the center iron has a throat, the right hand iron has an open throat and a dovetailed batten, the right has a side escapement in the form of a teardrop shaped slot.  The right cutter is marked "Peugeot & Jackson, Brevetes", which is French for "Patentees."  A beautifully made and intriguing plane.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 350-700

B66-615 CROWN MOLDING PLANE.  Henry G. White.  Quirk ogee and bevel, 2" profile, 13-1/2" sole with center mounted open tote, two strips of lignum boxing, D mark (very clear).  Wood is oxidized and generally very clean with moderate wear, noting one check that runs from the corner of the boxing strip into the mark on the toe.  Marked "Two Inches" on the heel. One J.C. Oat stamped his name at least six times, and there is another name on the cheeks.  Henry White was the nephew and surrogate son of Israel White, who took over the family planemaking business after the deaths of Israel and Charlotte.  From the collection of Steve Dice.  Good+ 200-400

B66-616 JOINTER. Taber Patent. Good example of Wing Taber's 1865 patented blade holding mechanism, 21" sole, chip from tote, B mark (very faint), original 2-1/4" cutter.  Taber's idea was that by driving the cutter support and the screw that holds the lever cap directly into the plane body, he would eliminate the need for wedges that could split the plane body.  PTAMPIA I, pp. 126-27. Good+ 100-200

B66-617 CORNICE PLANE.  Unsigned but looks early, cove and ovolo profile (Whelan Figure 11:11A), 14-1/2" sole, 3-1/4" cutter, apprentice hole, center mounted open tote.  Oxidized with some light overall wear. Good+ 100-200

B66-618 ADJUSTABLE SASH PLANE.  Schaefer & Cobb.   Screw arm type, both bodies fully boxed, boxwood nuts and arms. Some minor chips in threads, tight crack in front nut.  Bodies and wedge have overall moderate wear but no major damage. A mark, Schafer & Cobb made and sold tools in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1853 to 1855. Good 60-120

B66-619 ROSEWOOD SMOOTHING PLANE. 9-1/2" sole, closed tote, 1-3/4" double cutter.  Strike button ahead of throat worn flat.  Solid rosewood throughout with beautiful figure.  User names on toe.  Some chips from tote and moderate scratches and dings.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 100-200

B66-620 SET OF TEN MINIATURE PLANES. Probably an instrument maker's set.  They all look like they are by the same maker, but with different marks.  Five - a rabbet, a bullnose with brass plate, two compassed rabbets, and a compassed hollow - are marked "H. Ball."  Two - a matched hollow and round pair with compassed soles - are marked "T. Johnson."  A squirrel tail rabbet is marked "T. Leonard" and the remaining two - a 3-1/2" roughing plane and a round - are unmarked.  One of the two marked Johnson is missing its wedge and cutter, the others are all in near mint condition.   Good+ 100-200

B66-621 SET OF PATTERNMAKER'S PLANES. Eighteen total, a variety of sizes and sole curvature, some compassed.  Seventeen of them are marked "CCS" on the heel and with the size on the toe; the eighteenth is a low angle block marked R. Briggs, not the same maker but it fits in well.  Lengths range from 3" to 7", about half have wooden strike buttons. The wood is a light, tight-grained hardwood, possibly maple.  All very clean and well made. Fine 200-400

B66-622 SET OF SIDE RABBETS. John Green. Matched set, red beech, 9-1/2" long, rounded chamfers, both stamped on toe and with some user names.  Clearly used, but maintained in near mint condition. Fine 75-150

B66-624 IVORY SOLE MOLDING PLANE.   1/4" side bead.  The sole is fully boxed with ivory, and there is an ivory boxing strip along the edge and ivory batten strips with a decorative design.  The plane itself is 9" long and unsigned; nicely made and very clean.  Ivory is lightly yellowed.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 150-300

B66-625 MOLDING PLANE. Israel White. 1-3/4" shallow hollow, 9-3/8" long, rounded chamfers.   It has the very rare double eagle stamp - L in AWP - with the name "R.B. Blake" underneath it; looks like part of the stamp but Blake isn't listed in White's known journeymen.  It also has W.C. Griffith stamped on both cheeks; a carpenter named William C. Griffith is listed in the 1856 and 1858 McElroy directories.  Wood has typical light stains and scratches but no damage.  From the collection of Carl Bopp. Good+ 200-400

B66-626 RABBET PLANE. John Passcue. 10" sole, 5/8" wide.  Twin friction-fit nickers.  Wood is oxidized with light wear, two holes where a fence may have been attached.  Passcue was born in Girondin, France as John Paschal and immigrated to Philadelphia in the 1790s; five star mark, faint but legible.  From the collection of Carl Bopp. Good+ 120-240

B66-627 WOODTURNING SET. Crown Tools. Five total, includes two gouges, a nosing tool, a bevel chisel, and a parting tool, all approximately 14" long, mint in original box. Fine 60-120

B66-629 LOT OF TWO TIMBER SCRIBES. Both unmarked with fixed handles, one looks manufactured with 1" blade and 4" turned handle, but other looks user made with 1-1/4" blade and 4-1/2" handle. From the collection of David Jeffers. Good+ 100-200

B66-630 CARVING TOOL SET. Six total, unmarked with nice rosewood handles, super clean and inside a sliding lid wooden box.  From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 100-200

B66-631 LOT OF TWELVE CRANK NECK CHISELS.  Buck Bros.  1/8" to 2" in sizes, tang handles with copper ferrules, metal has some light oxidation and a few spots of mild pitting but edges all nice and sharp. Wood is worn with a few stains but no cracks or damage.  Good 400-700

B66-632 LOT OF TWO SETS OF HANDLED TOOLS IN ORIGINAL BOXES.   Blue Spruce Toolworks.  A set of dovetail chisels with cocobolo handles, 30 degree bevel ends. And a set of marking knives, also with cocobolo handles, 6-3/4" and 9" long. Both in original boxes with packaging materials.  Fine 150-300

B66-633 BROAD AXE.   Early Pennsylvania form broad axe. H.F. cast into head along with a decorative letter A. 10" edge, right handed, 22" offset original handle with some inactive worm. Typical pitting for the age, sharp blade. From the collection of John Henson. Good+ 150-250

B66-637 UNIVERSAL JOINT BRACE. Derlon Patent.  Arthur Derlon's brace designed to bore holes in close quarters was patented in his native France, and in Belgium and Great Britain, as well as the US.  This is a very uncommon example of the earliest type.  Unlike later versions, its frame is plain cast iron without plating,  it has no knob, and the grip is a simple copper sheath.  Unmarked, but identical to the patent drawings.  Cast iron is rough with pitting, but no damage and works smoothly.  See Lot 99 for a different version.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 200-400

B66-638 EBONY BOW DRILL WITH BOW. Unmarked, bow is 9" long with wooden drum, no bit, bow matches but handle looks like walnut, 30" long, old leather strap.  From the collection of Pat Gefre. Good+ 200-400

B66-639 LOT OF TWO COACHMAKER'S BRACES. A cagehead brace with an unusually decorative four-spoke head, cast iron, 9-1/2" long with 5" sweep, friction fit chuck. And a steel brace with brass grip and 4" brass handle in lieu of head, cast brass locking thumbscrew on chuck, 12-1/2" long with 7" sweep.  Both unmarked and well made.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 150-300

B66-640 RATCHETING BRACE AND BITS IN ORIGINAL BOX.  Russell Jennings No. 40.  The Russell Jennings Company was founded on the manufacture of auger bits, beginning with its founder's 1855 patent for a revolutionary double twist bit, but it didn't get into the brace business until after the turn of the century.  In 1915, Arthur Jennings patented a bit design with a slotted end to the shaft that could only be used in a special chuck also covered by the patent, and the company produced a series of braces using this design, although the company had enough sense to modify the chuck design to also accept the more common tanged bits.  This is a complete, and very rare, brace and bit set with the No. 40 ratcheting brace, one of the versions that used the "universal" chuck design, in the 10" sweep.  It includes a complete set of 13 auger bits, along with two countersinks, two screwdriver bits, a bit extension, and an expanding bit, all with shafts based on the 1914 patent design.  The brace and bits are all in immaculate condition with only a few hints of rust.  The wooden box is worn but intact, noting a split in the lid, with an intact label.  Destined to be the centerpiece of a serious brace collection.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Fine 600-1000

B66-641 BOW DRILL. Boxwood, including the spool, with brass collar and decorative knurling.  7" long with 10" quill bit.  In immaculate condition, and originally purchased from Roger Phillips.  From the collection of Pat Gefre.   Fine 200-400

B66-642 PLATED BRACE. H & J.W. King. Beech with brass plating, rosewood head with brass plated stem, push button chuck. "H & J.W. King New York" stamped in wood by the chuck.  King was a hardware store in the 1850s, when their mark is on a plane it rates four stars.  Small area of tarnish on the chuck and a few small dings in the wood, but overall nice and clean. Good+ 100-200

B66-643 WASHER CUTTER.  Heysinger Patent. Patented in 1883 by Isaac Heysinger of Philadelphia, unmarked but unmistakable.  Both slitters and the point clean and sharp, some light pitting on body, rosewood grip.  B rating in Pearson.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 100-200

B66-644 BRONZE FRAMED  BREAST DRILL.   10-1/2" long, solid bronze body and integral breastplate.  Unusual and clever design in which turning the gear backwards causes the two-jaw chuck to open.  Worthy of a patent, but unmarked and almost certainly craftsman made.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 100-200

B66-645 UNDERTAKER'S BALL-HANDLED BRACE.   The head can be folded inward; supposedly this was to allow undertakers to more conveniently carry them in their pockets and screw down the coffin lid at graveside.  In this one, a wingnut is loosened to rotate the head.  Unmarked, 9" long when unfolded, 6" sweep, one chip from the head but otherwise clean.   Good+ 200-400

B66-646 WOOD BODIED BREAST DRILL. Very uncommon form of breast drill with a cast brass gear enclosed in wooden gear box.  Except for the cover of the gear box, the entire drill is made from a single piece of wood, 14" long with turned integral breast plate.  Brass lever operated chuck.  Unsigned but clearly the work of a talented maker; works smoothly.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 200-400

B66-647 POD BRACE.  User made and unsigned, 16" long with 8" sweep.  Beech with turned hardwood head.  7/8" throat for pods with brass collar.  No pods included.  Well made and in immaculate condition. Good+ 50-100

B66-648 GUNMETAL STOP CHAMFER PLANE. Lee Patent.   Very rare example of the gunmetal version of Joseph Lee's iconic stop chamfer plane. Lee was constantly fiddling with the design and it sometimes seems that no two are exactly alike; this one is the version shown in Plate 18 of PTAMPIA I, but without the painted tote.  Instead of the church window or Bailey-type lever cap found on other examples, it has a locking screw that clamps the right edge of the cutter with the left edge supported by the adjustable fence, as described in the original patent.   It has Lee's name and the patent date stamped on the right side along with manufacturer Horace Thurston.  Includes original cutter designed to cut a 7/8" recessed quarter round (see Fig. 13 on page 106 of PTAMPIA I).   In lieu of the painted tote, it has a stained mahogany tote in the same design, with some small chips and an owner's name.  Some light pitting on the iron locking screws.  Overall very clean example of one of the true holy grails of patented planes. From the collection of Harold Unruh.  Good+ 6000-12000

B66-649 IRON T-RABBET PLANE. Birmingham Plane Co.  The 8" nonadjustable version of Birmingham's "batwing" design patented by George Mosher. See PTAMPIA I Figure 233a. Japanning 99%, light pitting on sole.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 250-500

B66-650 BLOCK PLANE. Bailey Tool Co. Defiance Type F.  Original cutter with battleaxe mark, slightly pitted. Loop type blade adjuster. A couple of small chips from the top of the left cheek and small paint spots, japanning 80%, plating on lever cap worn.  From the collection of Steve Dice.  Good+ 200-400

B66-651 COMBINATION PLANE. Bailey Victor No. 14.  Clean and complete example of one of the rarest and most collectible planes from Leonard Bailey's Victor line; some wear to nickel, japanning 80%. Good+ 800-1600

B66-652 TURNTABLE PLANE. Foster Patent.  Super rare example of Edwin Foster's 1909 patent for a bench plane with a frog that can be rotated up to 45 degrees to either side. The whole story is in PTAMPIA I, page 218.  9-3/4" sole with No. 101 cast behind the knob and the patent date cast behind the frog, 2" Ohio Tool Co. globe cutter. Beech tote and knob stained to resemble rosewood with wear, particularly on the rear edge of the tote. Metal very clean, japanning 95%. One of the holy grails for collectors of weird and ultimately doomed patented planes.  Good+ 1500-3000

B66-653 KNOWLES TYPE JOINTER. Unmarked but closely resembles Figure 6 in PTAMPIA II except that in lieu of a front knob it has a bun typical of British infills.  21" long, closed tote loose in socket, 2-3/8" Wm. Butcher cutter.  Wood has a few scratches and some light pitting on sole, otherwise very clean. Good+ 150-300

B66-654 SMOOTHING PLANE.  Morris Diamond Sole.  Early version of the design patented in 1870 by Ellis Morris and marketed by Sandusky as the "Diamond" plane.  This resembles the plane shown in Figure 69 of PTAMPIA II, with "1881" cast under the tote, except that the diamond pattern covers the entire sole.  9" long, 2" marked Sandusky Tool Co cutter. The applewood fill, wedge and knob are covered with original decorative wheatsheaf carving. Tip of the tote is reglued and some damage to the knob, otherwise very clean. Good 1000-2000

B66-655 RABBET PLANE.  S.C. Tatum & Co.  Patented by George Hilles on 6/30/84 and sold by Samuel Tatum of Cincinnati. A handful of these are known, with different configurations.  This one is identical to Figure 173 of PTAMPIA I including the patent date stamped on the edge of the sole.  The cutter has a notch that doesn't serve any purpose and was probably borrowed from a Stanley No. 45.  Nice and clean, with 100% japanning.  Good+ 100-200

B66-656 PLOW PLANE.  Silcock Type. Strongly resembles the James Silcock's patent, the earliest patented metal plow, but unmarked and with significant differences.  Brass body with 7" iron skate, rosewood fence with iron plate.  The cutter holder is very different from the Silcock patent, with a brass collar.  Possibly the work of a talented craftsman, or maybe a previously unidentified patent.   Good+ 300-600

B66-657 BLOCK PLANE.  Brattleboro Tool Co. Uncommon non-adjustable version of the Brattleboro block plane, PTAMPIA II, Figure 212.  Proper marked cutter, good casting on cap screw and knob, japanning about 50%, mostly worn on cheeks. Good 200-400

B66-658 SMOOTHING PLANE.  Steers No. 303. The adjustable version of William Steers' patented bench plane with rosewood inserts in the sole to reduce friction.  Tote and knob near fine, proper marked cutter, metal very clean with intact japanning, includes the often missing set screw in the lever cap.  Rosewood inserts are unusually complete with some light scratching at toe. Good+ 300-600

B66-659 SMOOTHING PLANE.  Bailey Split Frame. An example of Series D of Leonard Bailey's initial foray into plane manufacturing, made after he relocated to Boston in 1858.  It closely resembles the plane shown in Figure 13b of the biography by Paul Van Pernis and John Wells, except that instead of the knob being screwed onto a threaded rod, it is held by a flat head machine screw screwed into the boss - unusual but not unheard of. The paddle-shaped adjustment screw is cast iron rather than brass, which may be unique, and tends to rub against the knob.  8-7/16" sole and 1-1/4" original Buck Bros. iron, chip breaker may be a replacement. Wood clean, japanning nearly intact.  The rod that the upper section pivots on, which was peened at the ends, is loose but present. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good 3000-6000

B66-660 JOINTER.  Birdsill Holly Patent. Holly received his patent in 1852 for the first commercially successful metallic plane.  This 20" plane with a smooth sole (the dimpled soles would come later) is unmarked but virtually identical to that shown on page 18 of PTAMPIA II.  The tote and wood insert behind the tote are both loose in its dovetailed slot, with a shim, but that's an easy fix, and the wood and metal are otherwise near fine.  2-1/2" Casey Kitchel cutter. Good+ 500-1000

B66-661 METAL PLOW PLANE.  Phillips Patent. Type 1 of Russell Phillips' groundbreaking 1867 patent, with partial rosewood trim and unmarked skate (left example in plate 16 of PTAMPIA I).  Wood very clean, japanning intact; thumbscrew locking the fence is different from what we've seen and possibly an old replacement.  Includes five original single-ended cutters.  From the collection of Steve Dice.   Good+ 400-800

B66-662 SMOOTHING PLANE.  Birdsill Holly Patent. Holly received his patent in 1852 for the first commercially successful metallic plane.  This 9" plane with a smooth sole (the dimpled soles would come later) is unmarked but virtually identical to that shown on page 18 of PTAMPIA II.  The tote has a chip from the top, is loose in its dovetailed slot, and has a reglued crack and paper shim at the base.  2" Casey Kitchel cutter. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good 200-400

B66-663 BLOCK PLANE. Bailey Tool Co. Defiance Type B. Original cutter with clear battleaxe mark, japanning 40%, overall, knob very clean and probably a replacement.  Good 150-300

B66-664 JACK PLANE.  Meriden Malleable Iron Co.    Based on Solon Rust's 1882 patent which is stamped on the wide brass adjustment knob, a characteristic of these uncommon planes. 13-1/2" sole with non-adjustable throat, 2" original marked cutter, four patent dates on chip breaker. Rosewood tote and knob are near fine with some light paint specks, metal very good, japanning 90% See PTAMPIA I, page 197 for the history.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 300-600

B66-665 JOINTER. Challenge Plane. Patented by Arthur Goldsborough in 1883 and 1884, and distributed by Tower & Lyon. Unlike the shorter versions which have the word "Challenge" cast into the yoke, this one has "Challenge" and the patent dates cast into the body by the toe. All Challenge planes are very rare, and PTAMPIA concludes that there was only one production run before T&L gave up on them as a bad idea. Unlike the shorter versions, the tote has a small horn at the top that's been smoothed over, and is held by two bolts that look like replacements. Lever cap and cutter have light pitting, japanning 95%.  From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good+ 400-800

B66-666 SET OF PLANEMAKING TOOLS. Akron. This unique set of what appear to be commercial planemaking tools consists of four heavy steel panels, each 10" by 24" with holes at the corners to be fastened to a wall or workbench.  Each plate has a rosewood and brass template along the top, with cutters in the center flanked by depth stops, to cut different sash profiles which are represented.  It looks like the purpose was to fasten the panels down and then push a wooden piece along the template, which would act as a mother plane.  An 11" long device, also rosewood and brass, looks like it was used to push and guide the work along the templates.   Lastly, there is a 9-1/2 pound brass plane with 6 irons to shape the finial of a molding plane wedge, and a well-used small hammer apparently used to secure the wedges on the heavy plane. All are marked "Akron" and were clearly part of a set, although the finial cutting plane shows signs of much more use than the set of plates, and may have preceded it.  We know nothing more about its origin - it was found in a barn in southern Pennsylvania but it was clearly professionally made.  Steve speculates that it may have been developed by a commercial window manufacturer in the early 1900s.   From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 1000-2000

B66-667 MODERN BRASS BOUND LEVEL. Kelly Clore. Reproduction of a Stratton Bros. No. 10 machinst level. 10" rosewood stock, labeled "Kelly's Levels." Vial intact. Fine 100-200

Eight compartments with labels above them and prices written in pencil.  Light blue and gold Lufkin decal, 98% complete.  The back support stand is missing.

Good+ 150-300

B66-683 POINT OF SALE DISPLAY. Millers Falls Scrapers. Seven scrapers - Nos. 34, 35, 39, 51, 53, 55 and 296 - mounted on a plywood display board on a wooden base, 17-1/2" wide and 17" high, red paint with black and gold lettering.  Nos. 34, 55 and 296 are new and unused with intact decals, the others have varying degrees of wear with No. 51 being in the worst condition.  The red paint has a few scrapes but the lettering is mostly intact.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky.

Four examples of MF's No. 5256 metal-cutting keyholes saws, with different grinds, mounted on a wooden display, red with black base, 13" wide by 15" high (including the saws).  The white and black lettering on the red background describes the virtues of MF's "Tuf-Flex" blades and illustrates how the blade can be locked in eight different positions.  The display itself is very clean with only slight paint loss and has a dealer label pasted on the reverse side.  The saws themselves are well used with paint loss and some rust on the blades.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky.

Examples of Stanley storm door hinges, latches, and catches, and storm window hangers and adjusters, all mounted on 20" by 14" cardboard display.  There's an arrow from each item pointing to a photo of a house where the item is used.  In addition, there's a handle that is mounted like the other items (just over the storm window adjuster on the far right) but isn't identified or illustrated.  The display is generally clean but with scuffing and damage around the edges, some of the mounted hardware has some surface corrosion or scraping.  The hinge stand on the rear is intact.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky.

This one is called "On the Level", and features a Stanley No. 36 level along the base, with calipers, a clockwork assembly, a pipe reamer, and some other interesting stuff arranged around it. The backdrop is an old newspaper with a number of other pictures pasted to it. All in a black painted 19" by 25-1/2" box. Signed on the reverse by the artist. Unfortunately some of the components have become detached, and are rattling around in the box, so you'd need to disassemble it and reattach them to properly represent the artist's vision.   Good- 100-200

Patented in 1904 by Thomas Finch and manufactured by the Automatic Printing Machine Co. of Cincinnati.  11" by 6" and 5" , cast iron with black japanning and the name and patent date cast in letters with gold highlights.  It's missing the paper roll that would have fit into the part that projects from the front, but otherwise in near perfect condition. From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 100-200

B66-692 CALVARY SKETCHING BOARD.  Verner Patent. Designed to be strapped to the arm of a cavalry officer and used to make sketches while on horseback.  This one is unmarked but closely resembles the model patented by one Captain W. Verner and originally sold by J.H. Steward in London (Rees, page 170).  9" by 11", nicely made with a maple and rosewood sketching pad, scales, rollers at the sides to advance the paper, and compass at the top.

B66-697 CARVED  MALLET OR GAVEL. 10" long with 4" diameter head.  Wood looks like walnut.  Very decorative carving along the handle and on the head.  Unsigned, but presumably intended for ceremonial use.  The head may be hollow based on the weight, and has a couple of small dents.  Well made and attractive. Good+ 60-120

B66-698 DECORATIVE SCRAPER. 10" long and a light grained hardwood with a 1" blade.  Decorative carving along the entire length with elaborate inlays; two brass arrows along the bottom and five-pointed brass and ebony stars on both sides of the head.  Looks like one of those decorative tools executed by sailors with time on their hands during long voyages.  Beautifully made.

Squirrel tail 7" handle with cast iron head.  Fixed fence dovetailed into the opposite side of the head with adjustable depth stop.  It has a faint name stamped into the handle that looks like "S.J.

B66-700 LOT OF TWO SUGAR OR FRUIT DEVILS. 16" and 14" long.  Neither is marked but if we had to guess we'd say the longer one (left in the photo) is smith made with some mild pitting and the other manufactured.

B66-701 CORK PRESS. Enterprise Mfg. No. 1.  Patented on 8/27/67 (there's a typo in the date cast into the body) by one C.L.

Good+ 50-100

B66-703 MOUSE TRAP. Capito Original. This design was originally patented in Germany, and subsequently widely marketed under different names in the US.  "Capito Original" is stamped in the top, which was one of the German makers.  The idea is that the mouse enters the trap at the lower left and trips the sliding door that traps it, and then has no choice but to climb the tower, after which he falls in to the water filled container at the bottom, and in falling hits another lever that raises the trap door and resets the trap for the next victim.  The fact that each mouse, when trapped, resets the trap, caused it to be advertised as the "wonder of the century."  There's a Youtube video by a mousetrap collector named Shawn Woods that explains it in detail and demonstrates it.  10" high and 9" long, made of tin and cheap wood, looks like it works.  From the collection of Jim and Christa Schoenky. Good+ 100-200

Four-fold, two foot unbound rules, six in their original box.  New old stock, never used.  Each of the rules still has its red tape and the box is intact with original tissue packing paper.  Although unused, there is some tarnish on the brass from sitting and the red tape may leave some residue.   Fine 100-200

B66-712 SET OF THREE BEVELS. Different Types of Van Amringe Patent. The combination bevel patented by Benjamin Van Amringe of Oakland is one of the most gimmicky and attractive of patented bevels as well as an uncommon California patent.  99% of existing examples are the final version, but there were two earlier types and this lot includes all three.  Type 1 is only 12" long with a mahogany body; it has the two bevel blades but not the level vials or saw blade. It's stamped with Van Amringe's first  5/23/83 patent (with co-inventor James Cumming) and "California Bevel Works" which apparently made the first version.  Type 2 is 15-1/2" long, mahogany, has the two blades but still no level vials or saw blade.  Nothing is stamped on the body, but each blade is now engraved with both patent dates; there is elaborate casting on the circular heads of the locking screws.  Type 3 is the final version that was marketed, it has a 14" ebony body with two bevel blades and a saw, level and plumb vials, brass fittings including a plaque with Van Amringe's name and "Oakland California" engraved.  This unique collection with assembled by legendary California collector and dealer Dave Paling and we doubt you'll ever see another.  All three are in good clean condition with normal wear but no damage.  Unique, in the proper sense of the often misused term.  If you just want a clean example of Type 3, see Lot 445.  From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 2000-4000

Uncommon bevel with a sliding detent locking pin to fix the blade at different angles, patented 8/26/84 by Wilber Hill of North Manchester, CT, and manufactured and sold by the Hill Bevel Co. as the "Boss Flush T-Bevel."   9-1/2" blade, 6-1/4" japanned steel handle with BOSS cast into one side and the patent date on the other.  There are five present angles; the sliding detent is designed to hold the blade in one of them while it is locked, and works smoothly.  Near mint, the nicest example of this rare bevel we've seen.  From the collection of Steve Dice.  Fine 200-400

B66-764 RAM'S HORN HAMMER.

Fine 100-200

B66-768 REFERENCE WORKS.  Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. The original three-volume work, first published in 1876, plus the supplemental one volume New American Mechanical Dictionary issued in 1882.  All four volumes are hardbound, 7-1/2" by 10-1/2", each containing in excess of 900 pages and hundreds of engravings.  Unfortunately, one board has become detached from each volume and the spines are also partially detached and, in the case of Volume II, about half missing.  However, the pages are all there and still attached, with some foxing, and you could have them rebound if you were so inclined.  A fully bound original set will run you over $400.  Knight was a patent lawyer and physician who worked for many years for the patent office; he began the Official Gazette of the patent office and developed the first systematic method of organizing patents.  An indispensable reference work for the golden age of American invention.
