Stanley & Millers Patent Combination Planes

Past Sales Archive Page 

Stanley Millers Patent # 41 Rabbet and Fillister Plane  This # 41 is OK but needs some restoration work performed.    First off it needs a handle as can be seen.  The body is OK, but there is hardly any original finish left and although it looks good as is, it will look better with a japanning.  The skate is lightly pitted but you can make out the logo there.  The fillister bed is OK and the nicker is there, but short..  It has light pitting on the sole as well.  The wrap around fence is OK.  Again there is little finish, but no breaks or damage.  The outside fence does have a crack along the fence and is missing both of its screws.  It is a project plane that has potential.

Stanley #41 Millers Patent Plow Plane w/ Fillister and Cutters     Here is a very nice example of this increasingly popular and difficult to find plane.  It merely needs a careful light cleaning to make it a showpiece.  The handle is nice, as is the finish on the body.  The wood is good and the patent info on it is clear and strong.  The brass parts have a nice patina, have not been rounded or otherwise abused, and the knurling is all nice.  The skate is not pitted to speak of, and exhibits a nice patina as well.  Included are both the outside fence and the wrap around iron inner fence.  The very hard to find fillister bed is here as well, although it is missing one of the mounting screws and the nicker.  The pictures show only seven cutters, but there are 8 as I left the 1/8" laying on the table and it is included.  There are two different depth stops, one being the heavy brass one up front and the rear one is the steel version.  It does need two replacement screws for the fence, but these are available these days at a reasonable expense.   A great piece to add to the collection high up on the shelf.    Good+ ..... $1295.00       SOLD

Stanley #41 Type 3 Combination Plow Plane This Stanley #41 is in very nice condition.  It is a very early model and has original split screws that are nice as well.  There has been one professional repair done to the tip of the tote.  There is some very light pitting on various parts but overall this is a super example of a very nice plane that includes the fillister bed and 8 cutters.

Stanley #42 Type 4 Millers Patent Plow Plane  The Stanley #42 Combination Plow and Fillister plane is one of the most graphically good looking and sought after of all manufactured woodworking planes that was ever produced.  First introduced in 1870 this prime example exhibits traits that indicate that it is a Type 3A or 4 and dates from about 1875 or 1876.   It is just slightly later than the other example of a #42 plane that I have listed above.   It is also in slightly nicer condition as evidenced by the very nice original finish Rosewood long horn handle and lack of any appreciable pitting or corrosion on the skate or fillister bed.   The wrap around fence is super and fits perfectly.  All screws are nice and show just normal amounts of wear.  These beautiful and graphic planes with their gunmetal (bronze) bodies, and superb looks and design are a testament to the craftsmanship and taste of our early toolmakers and to those craftsmen who used them and the work that they turned out.   This is one of the nicer examples of this very beautiful and highly desirable and collectible planes that I have ever had the pleasure to offer.  A winner that belongs on the top shelf of every serious tool collection.

Stanley #45 Combination Plow Plane This Stanley #45 is one of those where the cutters are in a sweetheart box, and the box and plane are marked a bit  later.  This is typical.   This one has a few minor spots of corrosion, but like many from this era, saw little if any use. The #18 1/2 cutter is missing, but the rest is all here, as are the slitter, cam, short and long rods, etc.    Overall it looks great.  No instructions.

Stanley #45 Combination Plow Plane in Green Box  Stanley #45's are a dime a dozen and readily available.  Finding one this early in its original box is a rare occasion.  This is a different situation and few # 45's combination planes are known in their original boxes from this early or this period.  This is approx. a type 4 and dates from the period from 1890-1892 when Stanley first began to nickel plate this line of planes.  It appears it sat on a shelf for 100 or so years as the cutters show no evidence of ever having been used.  A rare piece to find in the box!!
