Infill Mitre / Rebate Planes Here are
a super nice pair of small Scottish Rebate / Mitre planes. The one on the
right is marked on the nose, and you can make out Glasgow, but nothing more.
I believe it is a Mathieson but that might not be right.. Note the chamfered edges, and the finish
details that went into this planes makeup. The throats on both are perfect
and very close. Hard to find!!

Brass Infill Mitre
/ Rebate Plane by Lie Nielsen
I have been told, and have seen reference to this being a plane kit that Lie
Nielsen put out back in the 80's. That would be about right considering
all of the Lie Nielsen planes I have for sale came from one collector who was most active in the
80's and early 90's.
The tolerances, fine finish and
craftsmanship leave no doubt as to the makers skill in finishing this off.
It is not signed or marked anywhere. The wedge
fit is as tight
as possible and yet slides in and out as though machined. The opening at the throat
is as fine and straight as one could ask for. As fine a piece of
plane making as I have ever seen.

Defiance
Type Plane
The collector loved a mystery. The body of this plane looks very similar to
the Defiance line of planes produced in RI by Seldon Bailey and the Bailey Tool
co. of Woonsocket RI. Leonard Bailey was also involved w/ this outfit when
the Defiance and Victor lines of planes were produced there during his time away
from Stanley and that story is
told in detail in Roger Smiths book PTAMPIA vol. 1 & 2.
While the
body is shaped much like a Defiance plane, and the wood has the right shape and
age to be from that period, the frog and cutter are totally different from
anything seen before on a Defiance or Bailey Tool Co plane. The only marking is
on the cutter. The Moulson cutter in it is the cutter preferred by
Leonard Bailey to use in his rare split frame planes. He also used them in
his 3 screw frog planes. The tag the collector wrote up indicates he
was a believer. The small tag on the side rail indicates I sold it to him
in the early 90's. I sure do not remember it, or where I got it, but that
was when I was into a lot of barns and out of the way places on the east coast.
The frog is like a prelateral Stanley product, but the brass wheel is
completely different and not marked. The knurling does not look like 19th
century. As I said a mystery. Hard to find
and probably one of a kind!!

Small
Pattern Makers Plane
This is a very
unusual size and form pattern makers plane. It has 5 bottoms and cutters.
It appears to be made of some sort of fruitwood. It is marked W. Crompton
in two places on the body which I assume was the maker / owner maker. The
fitted box for the cutters is very nice and the cutters are well made and sharp.
One of them is marked Jessup & Son Cast Steel "Green Label". The rest look to be
from the same stock but are unmarked. Overall the plane is 8" long,
and the cutters are 1 1/4" wide. The bottom of the plane has two brass slot
affairs let in that locks the the bottoms to the base of the main body. The
plane is sound and nice overall.

the plane body carrying the name Simplex. The cutters look to be homemade and are
a bit crude looking. The plane is sound and nice overall.
