Stanley Tools

ST100913 Number 3 Bailey Smoothing Plane A nice as found pre-lateral Stanley. The collector that I bought this from typed it as a type 4. You can make up your own mind. It has nice patina and is a very honest example. G+ $195

ST100850 Number 3 Bailey Smoothing Plane A super clean V trademark smoother with as good a wood as I have seen. There is a tiny hairline crack eminating from one corner of the mouth, that does not hurt a thing, but takes $50 off of what I am asking. This is about as nice a number 3 as I have ever seen. Superb G++ Sold

ST100826 Number 5 1/4 Bailey Jack Plane This is a usable plane, but it has been broken through and welded at the mouth. However, the wood is great and I am really selling this for someone who needs replacment wood for a 3, 4 or 5 1/4. It is probably a 1930 or so plane. Good Sold

ST100811 Number 90 Bullnose Plane This is a used but well cared for example that retains about 20% of the original nickel and about 60% of the blade. Probably from the 1930s. A nicer clean user example of this plane that is no longe made. G+ $119

ST100814 Number 90 Bullnose An early example with the cast iron adustment screw and the 8.3.97 patent mark on the blade. The original nickel is about 90% and the blade is about 90%. A really superb example for a discnering collector. G++ $179

ST10066211 Number 94 Cabinetmaker's Rabbet Plane The Stanley 94 shoulder plane is one plane that never seems to come up in pristine condition. This one is much better than most, with about half of its nickel, a near full original iron, and the early cast iron style adjuster. This is a well cared for plane that has never been touched. Just as it came from a tool chest. G++ $389

ST100665 Number 71 1/2 Router in the box In its original sweetheart labeled box. The box is in nice condition, the plane is superb. There is some cloudiness on the finish of the handles, which might come off with some wax. A really nice example for a user or collector. Fine- $159

ST100637 Six Inch Level I don't remember which model this is but it is a decorative iron level, nickel plated, and an 1896 patent date. The nickel is flaking a bit but it is in very honest condition, with the nickel about 80%, except on the top where it is 98%. The blotch on the top to the right of the vial is glue from an old price sticker and will clean right off. A nice example. G+ $48
See Picture

ST100640 Number 93 Cabinetmaker's Rabbet Plane This is the early style with the cast iron adjustment, with 100% original bright nickel. This is as close to mint as it is possible for a 100 year old tool to be. This must be as find an example as exists in the world of this early style 93. For the true connoisseur. Fine+ $345

ST100617 98/99 Pair Side Rabbets This is a matched pair of Stanley side rabbets, with the depth stops, in their original boxes. The boxes have nice labels. The corners are intact on the boxes but the top has come off of one, but is still present and can be repaired. The 99 has a sweetheart marked blade, the 98 just says "Made in USA" on the blade. A superb pair. Fine- $345

Otherwise it is about 98% intact. The blade is marked, "Pat'd Feb 12, 1886". Some fool has held the top of the blade onto the side of a grinder at the bottom and ruined the patina. Fool is being kind. G++ $119

ST100544 Number 39 Dado Plane A 3/8" dado plane in as found condtion with an even dark patina on all of the exposed metal surfaces. No rust. It should clean up nicely. This plane just came to us from an estate and is totally untouched. G+ $139

ST100454 Number 6C Bailey Fore Plane An as found 1930s Stanley with nice rosewood front and rear. Nice TBT quality Stanley bench planes are getting hard to find. The iron is full original length.

ST100311 Number 100 Squirrel Tailed Block Plane A very clean as found example, with the blade marked "Stanley, Rule & Level Co." Some fool has tested a file on the front edge and made three small notches in the front edge. Still, this would be the example that I would want. G++ $50

ST100237 Number 78 Rabbet Plane This is a nearly unused Stanley moving fillester plane in its original box. The box is a bit tatty. The origina price of $7.39 is on the box, which is one of the steel reinforced boxes from the 60s and 70s. A great user tool from when Stanley was still made in USA. Fine $85
See Picture

ST100220 Number 98/99 Side Rabbet Planes A matched pair of Stanley side rabbets that are used but not abused. The blades both appear original and show moderate wear. The nickel is about 40% or so on both. The 99 was not a great casting and there are a few big pits, and some scattered smaller ones, that are casting defects. It doesn't matter as a user, but I made them cheap because of this. A great user pair. G+ $149
See Picture

ST91216 Number 98/99 Side Rabbets A matched pair of the classic Stanley side rabbets with the depth stop. The se two match each other very nicely in condition, each having about 95% or better of the original nickel.

ST91030 Number 10 Rabbet Plane This is a run-of-the-mill condition Stanley rabbet for the user, not the connoisseur. It still has traces of the original decail one the tote and about all of the original blade remaining. The surface has that frosted look like a fool has it it with a wire wheel. Really a nice example for the price. Good $145
See Picture

ST90654 Number 45 Combination Plane This is a complete in the original box sweetheart marked 45. The blade box label also has the 45 logo. The blades are very clean. The plane itself is missing a lot of nickel and is dark in spots where the nickel is gone. Unlike most 45 that we get still in the box, this one was really used, but well cared for. The box is ratty and all that is left of the labels is a part of one on the top of the lid. It still has the original screwdriver and we will include reprinted instructions. For a user, this one is a deal. G+ $265

ST90634 Number 63X Spokeshave This is a clean sweetheart version of this scarce spokeshave. The original bright japanning has chipped and I would estimate that about 60-70% remains. A nice honest example. G+ $129
See Picture

ST90623 Stanley 12" Brace This is a nice clean brace, marked model 02-012. This is a large size brace. The handle and pad are hard black material like bakelite. This is a good quality brace for a fraction of what a mediocre new one would cost. G+ $65
See Picture

ST90553 Number 55 Combination Plane This is a barely used Stanley 55 plane in the original box. This plane is complete, but it does not have the screwdriver. It does have the original manual. The plane is sweetheart marked but the blade box is not and in the manual is dated 1940, so I would guess that this plane was made just before the war. The box shows some wear, and one corner is starting to tear, but it is still a pretty nice box and I rarely see 55s that are better than this one. A very nice example. Fine- $865

ST90520 Stanley Tools 1927 S50 Catalog This is a small 55 page booklet style catalog. I am not an expert on these but I don't recall seeing this one before. It is marked on the back "Copyright 1927 S50" and has the sweetheart logo. The original owner put his name and the date on the cover with a pencil. Nice original condition. Fine- $99

ST9031 Number 55 Combination Plane This is a used but well cared for Stanley 55 that is in the original chestnut box. It does have a chip in the casting on one of the fences around where it slides on the arm. This will not impact its use, but I have reduced the price to reflect this defect. This is a real buy now for a user. The box is beat up with no lid, but it has protected the plane well. The plane does not have the screwdriver or original instructions, but it is a very clean plane and all of the blades seem to be there, in the original blade boxes. 3 of the four lids are missing for the blade boxes. This plane has is as found and is really a nice example. It rates a strong G+ $485

ST90263 Panel Gauge This is the classic Stanley rosewood panel gauge, which is not marked, as is typical. What is odd is that it has only part of the usual patened mark. It is marked "Patd Aug". The rest of the date is not marked. It is not faint, it just isn't there. The gauge is in nice as found condition. It is dirty but will clean beautifully with some wax. G+ $89

ST90152 Number 46 Combination Plane in Box This is the first Stanley 46 in the original box that I have had. This one is complete and super clean. It even has the original instruction book. This plane has seen very little use. The box is shows some wear but the corners are mostly intact. The label is about 80%. The blade box is crisp. It does not have a label, but I don't think that it ever did. I can't imagine finding a better example any time soon. Fine $995

ST81169 Number 35 Bench Rule This is a very rare Stanley bench rule in superb as found condition. It is a 2 foot rule and before you think we are crazy with this price, look in the book. This is a consignment and we think that it would cost you more at one of the big auctions. Fine- $495

ST8099 Number 71 1/2 Router This is a very clean Stanley router with 95% plus original nickel and nice clean maple handles. All three blades are presesent and little used. A very nice example. G++ $149

ST80422 Number 10 Carriagemaker's Rabbet Plane This is a sweetheart marked Stanley Rabbet plane with much of the original decail on the handle. It is as found and could use a careful cleaning with a rag and wax but underneath it is decent example of a collector or user. There is a nick off of the corner of the blade on the right side. To use it you would want to regrind the blade just to get past that nick. The blade is a about 80-85% remaining. G+ $249
See Picture

ST80434 Number 98/99 Side Rabbets This is a matched pair of Stanley side rabbets with the depth stop. The 98 is pristine and rates fine, a rating that our regulars know I don't normally use for a tool. The 99 is missing some nickel and is not as clean. I would call it G+. The price of being a favorite I guess. These sets with the depth stop are not easy to find. G+/Fine $245

ST71067 No. 40 Scrub Plane This is a nice early Stanley scrub plane with a logo that just reads "Stanley Rule & Level Company" on two straight lines and cast hold down screw that is quite scarce. There is a check on one side of the handle that goes about half way through and could be glued up tight. As found and needs a light cleaning with wax. A good user or a nice early one for a collector. G+ $125
