Lignum-Boxed Quirk Ogee and Bevel Molding Plane
$50
This plane was made by Henry G. White in Philadelphia. Henry was the orphaned son of George white and the nephew of the more famous Israel White. This plane has lignum boxing which is unusual outside of the Philadelphia area. It cuts a 1 34in wide by 5/8in deep quirk ogee and bevel- a lovely profile. The plane is clean and crisp and shows only light wear. The blade looks factory-fresh. An outstanding example that could definitely be used. $50
Atkins 10in Backsaw
$28
Rare Plumb Embossed "The Cedar Axe"
$275
This is one is for the axe collectors. It's one of the least common and most desirable axes in the Plumb lineup. The story behind the cedar axe is well-documented. Plumb appears to have picked up the pattern in the 1930s. It is a specialized lightweight axe intended for cutting through the tough scrubby cedars in the Texas wilds. This example has seen little use. The bit has evidence of being honed a few times and the handle has some wear at the usual spot from missed strikes. The stamp is crystal clear. The handle is original. It has a tight check at the rear and the afore mentioned wear, both of which are clearly shown in the photos. It's a rare opportunity to acquire a nice example complete with its original handle. $275
Lie-Nielsen no. 140 Skew Rabbeting Block Plane
$350
This is pretty much a "vintage" Lie-Nielsen plane likely dating to the mid-1990s. It has the original instruction sheet which was signed by Tom Lie-Nielsen himself. It's in excellent condition overall with little evidence of use. The bronze body has developed a lovely patina. The cherry knob is a deep red. A gorgeous example of this awesome plane. It retails for $450 new today but has been out of stock for some time with no estimate of when production will begin again. $350
Rare Richardson Patent Timber Saw
$395
This is an iconic, unique tool that is at once both easily recognizable and extremely hard to find. It is based on Richardson's April 14, 1885 patent. The idea is that the saw plate is less likely to heat during use, bind, or bend. I've only seen a two or three of these in 20+ years of collecting saws. This one has a near-perfect apple handle. The plate is dark with patina but the area around the etch has been cleaned and much of the language touting the saw's benefits is legible. A very rare chance to get one of these highly desirable saws for your collection. $395

DR Barton 1/4in Tang Firmer Chisel
$22
3/8in Side Bead Molding Plane
$30
This plane was made by Richard Nelson in London between 1824-1852. It cuts a small 3/8in bead, which is ideal for case and cabinet work. This is a high-quality British slipped side bead plane in excellent working order. The blade is clean. The boxing is dead straight. An excellent worker. $30
1 5/8in Straight Rabbet Plane
$28
This plane has no maker's mark, just owner's marks. It looks early 20th century British to me, maybe Marples. It's decent quality, usable but nowhere near the peak of British quality. It has a decent blade with plenty of life left. It's a decent, usable plane but straight rabbet planes aren't common. $28
Interesting Bluegrass Hammer
$28
German Single Iron Scrub Plane
$30
This plane fits somewhere between a smoother and a scrub based on the size. The blade is only 1 5/8in wide. It's a tapered, laminated single iron made by Goldenberg. The plane was made by John Weiss and Sohn in Germany. It just needs a slight camber ground on the blade, and it will make an excellent scrub plane. $30

Vintage Craftsman 0-1in Mocrometer
$20
This is a high-quality micrometer in excellent working order. It was made for Craftsman and has the "DC" maker code. I have conflicting information on this one. It could have been made by Mitutoyo or Central Tool Co. Either way, it's an inexpensive high-precision micrometer with a ratchet stop. $20
Excellent Buck 1/2in Side Bead Molding Plane
$26
This plane was made in London by Buck & Co., predecessor to Buck and Hickman. This example has the 281 Whitechapel address which dates to 1842-1893. It's a high quality plane in excellent working order. The boxing is perfect. The blade is long and clean. It's an excellent worker in a useful medium size. $26
1/2in English Side Bead Molding Plane
$24
This plane was made by Simms of London between 1813 and 1834. It's in excellent condition but it's seen a lot of use. The blade is on the short side and the wedge has minor wear from a hammer. Otherwise, it's crisp, clean, and in excellent working order. It's a useful 1/2in size for case and cabinet work. $24
Blum Tool Co Jack Plane
$290
This plane was made by the Blum Tool Co. of Walnut, IA. The plane has an innovative frog design that is unique to this maker. This is their no. 5 jack plane equipped with an A2 blade. It includes an additional blade and the sharpening jig. Retail price is $340 new today. $290
Excellent W. Butcher 1/2in Socket Mortise Chisel
$45
This mortise chisel was made by the highly esteemed W. Butcher in Sheffield. It's 15.5in long overall. It has a thick, laminated blade with a clean back, free of pitting. The handle has some light wear and is perfectly usable. It's a rare chance to get a mortise chisel by this highly desirable maker. $45
Massive 1/4in American Socket Mortise Chisel
$45
This is a huge socket chisel with a stout blade. It measures 16in long overall. It has a clean blade, free of pitting on the back. The oversized socket handle is in excellent condition with minimal wear. It was made by Pliny Merrill in Hinsdale, NH likely between 1844-1869. The Merrills were a tool making dynasty for nearly a century in and around the New Hampshire area. CE Jennings eventually acquired the brand through mergers ca. 1901 and sold some chisels under the Merrill name but this is an early example, definitely predating Jennings. It's a great American edge tool $45

Wide Reverse Ogee Molding Plane
$25
Early American Wedge-Arm Plow Plane
$65
This mark is recorded in Eliot's Guide to American Wooden Planes V. This is almost certainly the example described in the book. It's marked TILDEN which Eliot attributes to possibly John Tilden, a cabinetmaker in Bridgewater, MA ca. 1800-1820. The plane has the distinct appearance of a late 18th or early 19th century plane, especially it was made in a rural area that wasn't keeping up with modern planemaking fashion trends. It has heavy round chamfers, relativly short arms, and blunted arms, all of which are seen on 18th century planes. The plane sis til in good working order, showing only some light wear. One wedge has had its finial chipped off, but still works well. The depth stop is still fully functional. A nice early plane . $65

3in Lufkin Round-Leg Inside Caliper
$22
Ohio Tool Co. 1/4in Side Bead Molding Plane
$24
This is a typical Ohio plane, not the best quality but it'll work, especially if you choose the right stock. It cuts a small 1/4in bead, a very popular profile. It has some light wear but nothing that will prevent it from working. the blade is especially clean. A solid worker, nothing collectible at all. $24
Early, Interesting 2in Hand-Forged Gouge
$24
This is a super cool, hand-forged corner chisel made of iron with a forge-welded steel business end. It's unmarked and well made. It could be made usable again without too much work.. it doesn't have a lot of pitting on the back. It looks very similar to the forged corner chisel I listed at the same time, though without maker's marks I can't prove they were made by the same smith. I think it has a great look to it and is definitely something unique. $24
Fancy, Early Farriers Butrress
$15
Starrett 6in Inside Caliper
$20
Absurdly Long, Early 1/2in Socket Chisel
$45
This chisel was made by Dunlap and Madeira which is documented in the EAIA DAT as working ca. 1831-33 in Chambersburg, PA. This chisel is 24in long overall. The blade is incredibly long and surprisingly thin considering the length. It's also especially clean without a speck of pitting on the back. I'm sure it was made for some specific purpose but I can't tell you what that purpose was. It's certainly interesting. $45
