M. B. Tidey Patented July 4th 1854 Double Beveling Plane The
Tidey Beveling Plane is one of the rarest and most unusual of all American Patented Planes. Only
a handful of these planes are known. The
patent was granted on July 4th 1854. The patentees name, NY location, and
patent date info
are stamped on the top curved brass piece. I believe the record price at auction for one was close to 30K some years back. Another example recently sold for 12K and while the ad for that one said flawless and used other superlative adjectives to describe its condition, the wood on this example actually looks much nicer than that one, or most of the other known examples, that can be viewed with a Google image search.
The body is Beech, and the arms, nuts, and washers are all Boxwood. The Boxwood parts are all pretty nice and the Beech body has just a few minor scuffs. The brass parts have a nice even patina, and have not been fiddled with or buffed. This rare plane does have a couple easily restorable apologies. One cutter is missing, and that side has a wedge with a different profile that fits well. Also, the bottom brass piece of the front depth stop is missing. (see pic). And finally there is another small brass piece and screw missing from the tail area. Again, see the pics. All of these minor issues would be relatively simple repairs to bring this rare piece back to its full glory. An opportunity that will probably not repeat itself.

Fales Patent Combination Plow Bead & Molding Plane Amos Fales of Denver, Colorado was granted two patents for his combination plane design beginning in 1882.
Fales had his plane made by Otis Smith of Rockfall Connecticut who was a gun maker.
Otis Smith
is not the Smith of Smith & Wesson fame. Production or more accurately, sales ended in 1917 or so. The Fales Patent Plane has to be one of the wackiest ideas for a patented woodworking plane ever produced. The idea probably looked good and sounded good on paper, but the finished product was destined for failure. Mr. Fales had obviously never heard of the KISS concept of Keep it Simple Stupid before coming up with this idea. The plane has 2 bottoms and a cutter for almost every possible profile. I read that can equal upwards of 240 or so separate pieces.
This plane is typically found with just the body as it had so many parts to be complete, that they usually became separated along the way. This example is in what I imagine is an owner made box and has approx. 15 of the 3 piece cutter and bottom sets. Roger Smiths PATAMPIA books have a complete story on the details. There is a near complete example w/ 200 or so pats shown in the archives of my sales archive webpage www.AntiqBuyer.com on this page.

Siegley
# 2 Combination Plane w/ 15 Cutters
Jacob Siegley was a plane maker, based in PA. He made both bench planes and
combination planes like this. His combination planes were a work in progress and one will
rarely find 2 that are exactly alike. He made many subtle and
significant changes to the design trying to get it just right.Nice overall condition. Minor spots of rust that will clean. Most of the cutters are full length. This is an earlier version w/ unslotted cutters. The japanning is original and nearly complete. This example is in very nice condition.

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!!

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

Birmingham
5" Batwing Rabbet Plane
This small cast iron Birmingham rabbet plane is the 5 1/8" size from Birmingham's line of "Batwing" rabbet planes.
This example is only the second or third of these rare planes to ever turn up. One of those other known examples sold in a Browns
Tool auction for over 3K a few years back.This 5" Batwing Rabbet Plane is rarer than the smaller 4" size. The 4" Birmingham Batwing has turned up several times in auctions over the years and is known in several other top tier collections. John Wells, now past, a well known plane authority, wrote up a very detailed analysis of this 5" variant in the Winter 2010 issue of the Fine Tool Journal / FTJ. He analyzed all of its characteristics and determined all is right with this rare variant.
The overall condition is very nice with it still sporting approx. 85% or more of its original japanning. There is no rust or pitting to speak of. The cutter is proper and original. The spanner type cap nut is also proper and original. The throat is good, and there are no other condition issues. There is no lever cap, and as John Wells analysis determined, this is correct for both the 4" & 5" sizes of this plane. RARE, Different, and Nice!!

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

- 1870 Mystery Jack Plane This
unusual plane is a mystery. It is an early plane that dates 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. The lever cap is cast, hollow in the back and has a distinctive look to it.
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!!

Jointer Plane
Thomas Worrall was granted his first patent for a plane in 1854. Worrall
formed and operated 2 different tool and plane making concerns, the Lowell Plane
& Tool Co. and The Multiform Moulding Plane Co of Boston Mass. According
to Roger Smith he closed up shop sometime in 1858. He was granted at least
5 other plane related patents in that short period.
This 20" Closed

clearly marked on the nose of the plane and the cutter is marked as well. It has

Patented planes that can be found. Nice!!

According to Roger Smith it is an earlier

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.

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.

Kutter / Simmons Hardware K 9 3/4 Tailed Block Plane
This unusual Keen Kutter tailed block plane is marked
K 9 3/4 on the lateral. Given the style of the cap, and the round handy features on the
side rails I believe this was made by Ohio Tool Co., one of the several
companies that Simmons Hardware Co of St Louis MO. used to make their
different lines of tools and planes which Simmons then branded with
their famous trade name Keen Kutter.The overall condition is fine with well over 90% of the original japanning, and no rust, pitting, or other condition issues. It has a nice long properly marked cutter as well. A pretty rare piece in the scheme of things. One would expect to see 100 Stanley 9 3/4 planes for every one of these that turns up.

over the years had several different tool makers like Stanley Ohio and

These Stanley made planes were denoted as the K series. They came in sizes K2 thru K8. These bedrock design planes have all the same features of early Stanley Bedrocks including the milled frog and external frog adjuster. It really is a superior design.
This example is in super original condition. 95% or better japanning. The rear handle is original and Rosewood. It has a proper low front knob. did nothing more than wipe off the dust. Original grind on the proper marked cutter. Top shelf condition for the collection, or tuned and properly set up this plane will make for a great user. Very Nice!!

under the Keen Kutter name and over the years had several different tool
producers make planes for them. At one point they contracted with Stanley
to make their planes based on Stanley's Bedrock plane design. These Stanley made planes were denoted as the K series.
They came in sizes K2 thru K8. These bedrock like planes have all the same features of
early Stanley Bedrocks including the milled frog and external frog adjuster. It really is a
superior design, then and now. This example is in good condition. The rear handle is Rosewood and it has a proper low front knob. It has been lightly cleaned. Tuned and set up properly this will make for a great user at a fraction of the cost of an early Stanley 605 1/2 or some new remake offered today. Very Nice!!

#137 Double End Block Plane Same as a
Stanley #130 but far rarer. The adjuster post on the wheel is broken and half is

broken one.Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic

Long proper cutter w/ stamp faint. No rust or pitting. You can still see the milling marks
on the sole. Good throat.The tag indicates I sold this to the collector in July of 1991. 30 years ago. It is one of those planes I'll remember buying forever. It was late afternoon on a Sunday at a 3 day old garage sale in Florida. Interesting and nice.

Fulton
/ Sargent
1080 Combination Plane Sargent made
this for Sears who at the time was offering a line of woodworking planes
under the name of Fulton. I believe this was before they introduced
the Craftsman line of tools. Great condition. Plane looks to have seen little to no use.
Light rust on some of the cutters. A nice example
overall.

Sargent
& Co. 1894 Catalog Good overall condition
on the interior. Some damage to the outer binding hinge (taped).
Super illustrations. Sargent's main focus at this point was Hardware
including door knobs, locks and associated hardware, more than tools and
planes. There are plenty of them as well as a full line of other
tools and general line of household goods from the era. Well over 1000
pages. While the cover says 1894 there are added inserts and updates
including a "new" price list for pics and hoes dated 1899. A wealth of
information and history.
