Spoke Shaves & Beading Planes by
Stanley Rule & Level Co. & Others





Stanley #56 Coopers Spoke ShaveStanley #57 1/2 Coopers Spoke Shave  This is for the TOP shave shown in the first pic. The owner identifies it as a #57 1/2 which is not a listed # in Walters book.  It may be a 56 1/2, but with this style cutter holder I am not sure.  It has a 4" wide cutter.  The cutter is held the same way as a #59 with a cast iron crossbar.  This is Stanley's  largest spoke shave at18" long with a 4" cutter. There is no finish left, but it is damage free.  A good user..

Stanley #57 Coopers Spoke Shave  This is for the MIDDLE shave shown in the first pic. The owner identifies it as a #57.  It has a 2 1/8" wide cutter.  The cutter is held the same way as a #59 with a cast iron crossbar.  One screw is a replacement but it is damage free, and the cross piece is not cracked or damaged.  This is a one of Stanley's extra large spoke shaves that is almost 18" long.  They are useful for large work where you have lots of room and want your hands out of the way.  This is a hard to find extra large early shave in good condition..

Stanley #151 & 151R Radius Spoke ShavesStanley #151 & 151R Radius Spoke Shaves On the left is a standard 151, and on the right is a 151 with radius bottom! These came out of  a tool box in a garage here in CA that was full of Sweetheart era stuff.  The person was not buying tools from antique dealers, or as collectibles.  He was a user.  Both have typical 151 cutters and the radius ones cutter is not marked 151R as I have been shown pics of. 

I have been sent pics of a "proper" 151R, and the base on that example is different in that it has a step cast into the radius area and is not rounded flush like this one.  I am not sure if that makes this one wrong or if they were offered in different styles.  According to what I have read this shave was only offered for about 5 years from 1936 to 1941.

You can buy new radius versions that are in production now.   The 151 R is not marked any different from a 151, and to me this does not appear to be a homemade modification.  I believe they are "right"  given the situation of where they came from.    I saw a sale result on MJD tools where he sold one of these for over $1000.00. 

Opportunity or crazy?

Windsor Patent Beaders2 Windsor Patent Beaders  Windsor beading planes were patented by two fellows from Windsor Conn. Mr. Orlando Williams, and Lawrence Poole were issued 2 patents in 1885 for this design and that information is clearly stamped into the ebonized frame of the top.   This style is usually referred to as the second model of these beaders.  Note that each has a different cutter.  There is only one profile of each cut and there are 4 relatively large bead profiles on one and 6 finer profiles on the other .
