"C
E Chelor - Living in Wrentham" Hollow Molding Plane This
18th century molding plane was made by Cesar Chelor the former slave of
Francis Nicholson who was America's first documented
wooden plane maker. C. E. Chelor began his career as Nicholson's
apprentice, but upon Nicholson's death Cesar Chelor was willed his freedom, tools, and more. There is
a nice history of the parties involved and how things evolved at
https://www.antiquetools.com/chelor/index.html
The plane is in excellent condition and has a beautiful form and patina. It is made of yellow birch it has its original wedge and nice heavy chamfers. The name stamp and Living in Wrentham location is clear and bold. There are a couple of minor chips that are insignificant. Real Americana and a piece of African and American history at its best.

G. W. Dennison Rosewood Plow Plane This
Rosewood plow is in overall pretty nice condition. It dates from the
last quarter of the 19th century. The collector put a coat of his
trademark clear lacquer on it. The inner lock nuts do not exactly
match. Other than that I see no issues.

Ohio Tool Co. # 104 Rosewood Plow Plane This
Ohio Rosewood Plow has had some restoration work done. It looks OK,
and will be a nice display piece if not a user. There is a repair to
the tip of the handle horn. There is an early repair to the fence,
being a bolt through it to stabilize a split along the grain. Also the
wedge looks to be larger than one would expect, and I think it is a
replacement. Lastly the rod threads are a bit chewed up.

Hardt
Patent Block Plane
A very rare block plane in super condition. Lots of original japanning with no
chips, cracks, or other damage. The patent # for this unusual plane is 502906 and it comes up with
a Google Search. Louis John Hardt of Yuba City California was granted
his patent for a plane design on August 8th 1893. In addition to the block plane offered
here, he also made bench and jointer size planes as well. It is not
known how many sizes were offered or how many were produced, so few have ever turned up.
There are just a handful of the block planes that have ever been found.It is a very distinctive design where the front end of the plane moves making the throat opening larger or smaller. Another odd feature is that he utilized Sargent parts including the cutters, lever caps, and in this case the iron cap on his own castings. It has be theorized that there was just one production run in about 1893 explaining the relative rarity of the plane. There is a more complete write-up and details in Roger Smiths first PATAMPIA book. Very Nice!!

Metallic
Plane Co of Auburn NY Fillister Plane
A pretty rare plane in pretty nice condition. The Excelsior stamp on
the cutter is the only marking. Lots of original japanning with no chips, cracks, or other damage. The
Rosewood handle is beautiful. The oftentimes missing fence for the fillister bed is
present, undamaged and nice. The screws for the fence may be replacements
as they are different from each other and not the typical Mushroom cap style
typically seen. This type of plane is a
well known and documented. A fellow named Storkes who partnered with
Palmer got the patent.
They made a line of well received bench planes that were popular in the NY / New
England region
back in the last quarter of the 19th century. There is a complete write-up and
more details in both of Roger Smiths PATAMPIA books. Very Nice!!

Mayo
Patent Plow Plane w/ Cutters
This is a very nice example of
the Mayo Plow Plane. Roger Smith goes into great detail concerning this
pane and how it is related to the Philips Plow in his seminal work on American
Patented Planes. The condition of this example is very nice. It
retails much of its gold finish and highlights. The box of cutters is nice
as well. Note the original Rosewood handle and graceful horn.
The depth stop is present. A fine example that deserves a place in any collection
focused on patented metallic planes of the 19th century. Different, Unusual
and Nice!!

Patented
1904 Buckeye Smooth Plane
This patented smooth plane is in very nice overall condition. John Muehl was granted a patent on Nov. 22, 1904 for his adjustable bench plane.
Muehl sold his rights to his patented plane to the Buckeye Saw Vise Co. This company operated from 1907-1912 in Cleveland, OH. Buckeye offered a Smooth, Jack and Jointer version of this patented
plane. All moving parts operate smoothly. The black japanning is approx 90% or better. The front knob is in good condition with no cracks. The tote is original has wheat pattern carved sides. The bed is marked with the patent date and Buckeye name. They do not turn up very often. Interesting. All original and nice!

- 1870 Mystery Jack Plane This
unusual plane is a mystery. It is an early plane that from its
construction characteristics and design dates from the 1860's or a bit
later. It has a nice Moulson cutter in it. The
frog design looks a lot like Stanley's type 3 planes or Leonard
Bailey's Victor style or line
of planes. Attached at both sides instead of just in the center. The lever cap is cast, hollow in the back and has a distinctive look to it
with coves in the casting.
Also note how the handle is dovetailed into its position. It is a
great casting that was japanned. A nice
example of an early and probably unique plane. Nice!!

Holly
Patent Jack Plane Birdsill Holly began
producing planes in 1852 shortly after forming the company Silsby, Race &
Holly Co. located in Seneca Falls NY in 1848. This 15 long Holly Patent Jack Plane would be considered a second model. The plane is in very nice condition overall. The main differences from earlier models are the way the handle is set up, and the design of the cast blade holder. The bottom on plane has cast in corrugations as well. The fragile lever cap is damage free. The cutter is long and nice, but the logo is hard to make out.
A good looking early patented plane. No rust or pitting. Nice wood. No apologies. An early, rare, and desirable patented plane for the advanced tool collection!!

Worrall Patent
26" Transitional
Jointer Plane This early 26" closed
handle patented jointer plane is in nice condition. Note that the top plate
with patent info does not extend all the way to the end like the others offered.
According to Roger Smith it is an earlier
version than those above. Roger Smith calls this style the first
transitional that was made / manufactured and that it was the design that
inspired Leonard Bailey just a few years later. This early Worrall patent transitional plane has a great look to it and is a nice example of one of the earliest American Patented planes that can be found. I am not sure if the color change on the bottom is a stain, or part of the wood. It is not soft, rotten or - - - . Nice, & Different!!!

Knowles
Type Patented Plane w/ Cut Out Sides
Hazard Knowles was granted a patent for an iron bodied plane in 1827. It
is considered the first patent for a metal bodied plane granted in America. No
known examples are marked. Shortly after other versions of metal bodied
planes based on the idea began to appear and are generally referred to as
Knowles types. In Vol. II of Smiths works on patented planes he pictures a
plane identical to this one with the decorative cut-outs in the cast iron sides. He
calls it a Knowles type and provides some info based on how the cutter was
marked. Roger Smith covers the whole range of Knowles planes and Knowles type
planes and their history, in some detail, in both volumes of his books on patented
American planes. It is worth the read.
The overall condition of this 19" long plane is very nice with no damage to the
cast iron body. The throat area is nice. There are no markings or patent
info. There is little to no rust or
pitting. It has not been over cleaned or fiddled with. The infill
shows appropriate and normal wear. There is some chipping to the handle. It
has its original wedge and a single cutter. The cutter is 2 3/8 and marked Ohio
Tool which is probably a later replacement. RARE, Nice, & Different!!!

Leonard Bailey's Planes
Victor
/ Defiance / Vertical Posts / Split Frames
Leonard Bailey produced the Victor line of planes after he left Stanley and struck out on his own. He produced this line of planes for approx 18 years beginning in 1875. The history of that endeavor and his interactions with Stanley during this period are documented in Roger Smiths books.
# 1 1/4 Tailed Victor Block
Plane by Leonard Bailey & Co.
The Victor #1 1/4 had a cast iron tail piece / handle. The
Victor #1 & #2 had flat sides, adjustable throats and the cutter adjustment.
The sides were flat & excelsior style. These block planes could be had in different
finishes as the 1 3/4 or the 2 3/4. The bodies are drilled to
accept a rear handle which would change it to a 1 1/4 w/ rear handle or 1 1/2 with handle and nickel trim. The same
would apply to the 7" Victor planes where a #2 becomes a 2 1/4 or 2
1/2. with a tail piece Walters dates all of them as 1875 thru 1888, the
period when Leonard Bailey had left Stanley and struck out on his own. If you find that confusing,
it is, and you need a copy of Walters book, a type study, and some reprints of
old catalogs to sort it all out. The cutter has lots of life left and the adjuster performs as it should. Note how good the cutter logo is. The paint on the plane is 90% or better and original. There is no rust or pitting to speak of. The rear handle looks great but has been declared a recast by some experts. The collector did not think so when he bought it, and paid dearly for it.

Leonard
Bailey Victor # 3 Smooth Plane
This Bailey Victor # 3 size smooth plane is in nice original condition
noting the cutter is not proper. Leonard Bailey's "Victor" line planes were produced from 1875
thru 1888 after Leonard Bailey had left Stanley's employ and before he went back to work for them.
The Victor line of planes was a great design and well received
in the marketplace. Roger Smiths books on patented planes covers the history in great detail, and is worth the read.This plane has not been fiddled with or over cleaned. There is little rust or pitting on the body and sole. The throat is good. No cracks, chips or other damage. The adjuster works properly. The cutter is later and with the center slot makes the adjuster inoperable. There is approx. 80% of the original black japanning.
