 Charles Parker No. 63 ½ vise, 20 lb anvil back vise with cutoff hardy (5/8^th” hole). The Parker vise Co. was from Meriden Connecticut and related to the Meriden Machine Company and Parker Brothers (No, not the games makers). The company was primarily known for extremely well made collectible double shotguns…(we’re talking $3,000-$10,000 range here). A little Parker history:Charles Parker, with a capital outlay of $70.00, opened his first factory in 1832. This factory produced Connecticut’s first steam engine in 1844, no mean feat. There were a lot of acquisitions and mergers before and during the Civil War to keep the company alive and growing. By 1854 Charles Parker merged with Snow, Hotchkiss and Company and created the Meriden Machine Company. A large, for the time, company employing 120 men in a foundry and machine shop. During the civil war the company was under contract for  10,000 repeating rifles and 15,000 Springfield rifles; sparking Charles interest in the gun trade. At that time Parker was also a prominent maker of vises that continued to 1924. By 1867 after buying out his partners, the company was solely owned by Charles Parker. In 1868, Charles and his sons, Wilbur, Charles and Dexter started the company called Parker Brothers. The Parker Brothers Gun Company continued operation as a company until 1934, it was then purchased by the Remington Arms Company. Over the years, Parker tools have command dear money with  a box of screws going for $187 on ebay in 2000/2001…This vise comes with a cutoff hardy (usually missing) and near 90% finish, a good solid vise that I mounted and will use until it sells, highly recommended…. $35…just might fit into a flat rate box…ask… PICTURESOLD David M

 Disston No. 7 26” 7PPI crosscut saw, circa early to mid 1880’s, so, give or take, 125 years old and the blade still has nearly all of it’s width, missing one saw nut, handle has small chip off of underside of top horn (don’t they all!) and letter “H” stamped into one side, blade is a little grimy but straight with minor pitting. I’ve cleaned off a little to show the etch and the rest should clean up pretty easily. Actually is pretty sharp considering it's age…Nice, very old Disston user saw…$35   PICTURE     PICTURE  SOLD Mike D

The gearing and spindle direction are selected by a sliding mechanism similar to the Yankee screwdriver. The five positions are:
Plain – turn the crank in either direction to turn the spindle to that direction
Left hand ratchet - the crank ratchets in one direction to turn the spindle left
Right hand ratchet - the crank ratchets in one direction to turn the spindle right
Double right ratchet– the crank ratchets in both directions to turn the spindle to the right
Lock – locks the crank and spindle. Amazing condition, with all gearing intact, and that’s a lot of teeth considering that this beast has a double pinion with two gears apiece. Side handle has been replaced, all else excellent…$50   PICTURESOLD Chris S (aust)

Stanley No. 3 type 11 1910-1918. Japanning at 98%, near to full length correct “V” logo blade and solid rosewood low knob & tote.

Really excellent small smoother, bordering on (dare I say it!)  collectable…$55  SOLD JD

specialty and rare planes

Sargent No. 81 Type 1, adjustable side rabbet plane IOB (in original box), finish at 98%, near to full length blades. This one may have been used twice; no scratches on sole and knob with 99.9% original shiny finish…small age spot on sole (see picture). I cleaned it with soap & water to get rid of the dust and hand dried every piece. Box is a type 3 1910-1918, and since the plane was made from 1913 to 1943, I do believe that this is a type 1 side rabbet…in FINE condition. One sold recently on that auction site for $355; it was a newer production model, probably around 1940  (item number 180344193255). This one’s a LOT older and only…$275  PICTURE 1     PICTURE 2

 Stanley No. One,  type…well, you can’t really type these…going by the blade, which is a TmY c.1920-1921(second Sweetheart logo), I’d say that’s about right for this plane. You won’t find a nicer one short of finding one still in its box. Sole has very little wear, maybe used a half dozen times with a few small toolbox dings, blade is extra clean and full length. Rosewood knob & tote have 99% original finish and japanning is at 99.9%. An extremely well kept and cared for No. 1, best one I've had, absolutely NOT messed with….FINE...$1500   PICTURE   PICTURE

 Sargent No. 408 (Stanley #4) VBM, near full length blade, japanning at 93% and the nicest mahogany knob & tote that I’ve ever seen on a Sargent plane, good solid user smoother….$25  PICTURE 

  jack planes

 Stanley Four Square Junior jack ( 5 ¼ size), japanning at 97%, near to full length Sweetheart blade and solid knob & tote (tote has 80% original “4-Square” decal), light patina, excellent shape for a hard to find plane…$40  PICTURE 

 Stanley Four Square junior jack plane…5 ¼ size…AN almost complete Stanley "FOUR SQUARE" decal on tote(95%)…nice original Sweetheart blade at near full length, and a nice, light, even patina…(your choice to clean or leave as is)…japanning at 98%....early version of the 4-square series, pre 1929,  best one of these I’ve seen, all correct and in excellent condition…collectibility factor 7 to 8 in this condition…FINE...$50  PICTURE  

 Stanley No. 5 type 17 WWII era, heavy casting, japanning at 98%, near full length blade dated to the third quarter of 1942 , solid knob & tote, early WWII era with steel depth nut and a frog adjusting screw (absent on many due to untrained workforce). Super solid user jack in great shape…$50     PICTURE

Sargent No. 411…Junior Jack plane, doesn’t list in the Baker’s cross reference but is listed in the Dave Heckel book on Sargent planes. Can’t say that I’ve ever found another Sargent Junior Jack plane, this one has 90% japanning, mahogany knob & tote (knob has a crack and tote has slight chip off top side and #16 scribed on one side(from a manual trade school, perhaps?) Blade near full length and the gold Sargent insert tag behind the knob.  Hard to find Junior Jack…$40   PICTURE

 Stanley No. 5 Two-Tone jack plane, near to full length original “Two-Tone” blade, solid knob & tote and 95% original maroon and yellow finish…$15 PICTURE

fore planes

 Sargent VBM No. 418 (Stanley No. 6 size), japanning at 93%, low beaded mahogany knob and mahogany tote (with chip off of tip of tote), full length replacement (Millers Falls) blade…good solid user fore plane…$30  PICTURE

   Birmingham “B” plane No. 6, japanning at 90%, near to full marked "B" blade, solid hardwood knob & tote...probably from after the Union buyout..…$50  PICTURE

jointer planes  

 Stanley No. 7 type 3 1872-1873, pre-lateral plane, japanning at 90%, rosewood knob (beaded) and tote (tote has chip from front of toe screw), blade correct but only ¾” left, levercap has small nick from front (hey, it’s 136 years old-I’m amazed it’s still here)…used but not abused…nice user jointer that just happens to be 136 years old…goes to show you, we used to make things that were designed to last; ready for another 100 years…$80 PICTURE

  Sargent  No. 422 (No. 7 size), marked VBM Sargent jointer of the corrugated variety, japanning at 85%, original correctly marked Sargent blade and solid +mahogany knob & tote…excellent quality solid user jointer…$70  PICTURE

Union No. 7 corrugated... japanning at 90%, tote is missing the tip off the horn, blade is a near to full length original extra thick Union blade, excellent solid user jointer with a thick Union casting..,$85  PICTURE  more to come  

Sargent No. 24 jointer plane. At first glance this looks like any other Sargent VBM jointer…24” long by 2 5/8^th” wide, extra thick Sargent casting circa 1900’s...and in really great condition with near full length marked blade, 99% japanning and solid original mahogany knob & tote. It’s not until you take a closer look at the back of the frog that you realize that this is no common Sargent No. 8 sized jointer. Peering into the body at the back of the frog you first notice that there are two screws flanking the depth nut and accessible from the top….not your average Sargent jointer. Actually , the first tip off was the Sargent number, should have been 424 or 1424 for a standard Sargent jointer. This one’s a Shaw’s patent Sargent, quite a bit harder to find. Shaw’s patent for the frog was 1906 well before the Stanley Bedrock patent of 1910 and is of “similar” design. Sargent version has two frog locking screws at the top back of the frog. The location is very hard to access. The frog adjustment screw is at the back like a standard Stanley but a bit lower; it’s engaged with the body through a slot at the back of the base. This is the only one of this style IN THIS SIZE that I’ve found in close to 20 years….the smaller #3 through #5 sizes are a lot more common…This is as found with no cleaning except to brush off a light layer of dust, blade was even sharpened when found. This one, in this shape is easily worth $250  Very collectible but also an amazing unique user.    PICTURE   PICTURE   PICTURE

 Stanley No. 8 type 4 pre lateral jointer plane, 1974-1884…japanning at 95% though grimy. Solid rosewood low knob with bead at base & rosewood tote, blade a full length replacement from a type 6 (1888-1892) also have the original blade which I will include. This one is “as found” with no cleaning done, except for blowing off some dust and in amazing shape for one so old (128 years old). Very well kept and cared for all these years. This one has provided exceptional service to four generations of woodworkers and is ready for another four generations. …$100   PICTURE

Specialty planes: combination, routers, plows, rabbets, and scrapers

 Stanley No. 10 rabbeting bench plane type 6 1888-1892, isn’t it weird how things come in pairs sometimes?...japanning at 90%, solid rosewood beaded knob & tote (tote has small chip out of tip), blade at ½” and this one has the earlier cap iron that screws onto the blade rather than vice-versa…nice collectable rabbetting bench plane…$160 PICTURE

 Stanley No. 45 combination plane in box, Sweetheart era TmY c.1920-1921 type 14 with all the bits and pieces…includes all the depth stops, cam, slitter and slitter depth stop, long and short rods, Stanley #45 pamphlet, both boxes of blades that don’t appear to have been used…even has the correct Sweetheart screwdriver…in an original pasteboard box…box has end decal and partial lid decal, no splits or rips. When I bought my first No. 45 many years ago, I bought just a body...it then took me 2 years to put together all the other bits and pieces, like the blades, the slitter, the cam...all told I probably spent more than $500 to put together a complete #45...'nuff said……$260  PICTURE   PICTURE

 Stanley No. 45 Sweetheart era TmY c.1920-1921 type 14  combination plane with two full boxes of blades, has slitter and slitter stop, long rods, nickel at 92%. Missing the long depth stop, short rods, cam and screwdriver...good solid user combo plane……$150  PICTURE

 Stanley No. 66 hand beader...comes with one triple bead blade and BOTH the straight and the curved fences (curved is the hardest fence to find worth $40 by itself), japanning has been redone with actual japanning….blades can be made from any saw stock including hacksaw blades or band saw blades, you’re only limited by your imagination…$75  PICTURE
