The Standard Rule Co. No. 3 Smooth Plane A beautiful example. Never fiddled with. This
8" 3 size plane is in fine condition
and would detail out to be even nicer. Original proper cutter. No
issues.
The patent for this plane was granted October 30th 1883. The company was headquartered in Unionville CT. They had been in business since the 1870's making just rules, but added a line of both metal and wood bodied planes based on a Solon Rust patent. The company was not around for long, and later joined with Upson Nut Co. which dropped this line or design of planes and offered a product more similar to Stanley's line of planes.
A very nice example of a hard to find patented smooth plane by a well known, but kind of obscure maker for the collection.

Metallic Plane Co. Auburn NY # 9 Block Plane W/ Tailed Cap This is a rare version of this companies
# 9 block plane.
I have had only one other with the cast iron tail piece intact. The example in Roger Smith's book has a
brass cap which he fails to identify as being a recast that it most likely is.I looked through a stack of auction catalogs, and there are the wooden wedge varieties offered, or occasionally ones with a wooden block attached to the top of the cutter, but none of the #9 block plane with the cast tail like this.
The condition is fine noting the small rail chip on the driver front corner. The cutter is properly marked. There is lots of the original japanning except on the tail as would be expected.

Taber 1865 Patent Transitional Smooth Plane w/ Cast Iron Lever Cap / Blade Holder Complete and nice!!!
This unusual and rare patented transitional smooth plane is marked on the nose with the February 28 1865 date
and the maker name / location. It was made by the Taber Plane Co of New Bedford Mass. The cutter is marked
Molson. There are brief write-ups about this plane maker and the inventor Wing Taber in Roger Smiths books.The two most interesting features this plane exhibits are the metal lever cap and the cast iron support piece behind the cutter to add support there. They were not produced for long and the Taber plane Co. was short lived. Smith points out several deficiencies in the design and mentions competition from Stanley as the reasons for their demise. Different and nice!!

M. C. Mayo Tool Co. Block Plane
Matthias C. Mayo is best known for his Mayo Patent Plow Plane (Patent No.167,772), released in 1875.
They were a flashy looking if not well designed plow that were first offered
in 1875 and were only offered for a few years. The Mayo Patent block plane is thought tto date from the same period. There is no known patent associated with it. The plane has a captive cast iron lever cap with a pronounced hump as well as a indent foreword for the users finger. It is approx. 2" wide and 8" long. It would take a 1 3/4" cutter, which is missing. The overall condition of this unusual little block pane is pretty nice noting little if any finish remains.

Marten
Doscher Patented October 2 1888 Smooth Plane Marten Doscher was a mid 19th century plane
maker based in New York. He offered a line of typical molding planes
that are considered relatively common, but in 1888 he was was granted a
patent for this cutter adjustment idea
The patent drawing show it installed in a jointer, but here it is in a
smooth plane. The nose is stamped with the info. These are
unusual and do not turn up very often at all.The overall condition of the wood body and wedge is OK. An interesting example of an unusual and hard to find plane.

Prototype / Mystery Cast Iron Jack Plane This
unusual cast iron jack plane is a mystery. It is unmarked as to maker. Nor does it have any patent info. It has some interesting
design aspects that indicate it could be a prototype or patented design
resembling a few different patented planes. Some aspects are similar to Leonard
Bailey's early designs / work.
The frog design looks a lot like Stanley's type 3 planes or Leonard Bailey's Victor style line of planes from the late 1800s. Here the cast iron frog is attached at both sides as on Stanley Type 3s. It has a nice Moulson cutter in it. Same as Leonard Bailey put into his early split frame planes from this mid 19th century era.
The lever cap is cast, hollow in the back and has a distinctive look to it with cast coves in the top along the edges. Also note how the hardwood handle (cracked at bottom) is dovetailed and slides into its position at the base. The front knob is 2 pieces, and the course screw to attach it is fixed to the body and the top knob is twisted onto that and the bottom wood portion.
The cast iron body is a great casting that was japanned. You can see the milling marks on the side rails.
A nice example of an early and probably unique plane.

22" closed

Roger Smith calls this the first transitional that was made / manufactured and that it was the design that inspired Leonard Bailey just a few years later. The stamp on the nose of the plane is only partially readable.

Leonard Bailey's Planes
Victor
/ Defiance / Vertical Posts / Split Frames
# 1 1/4 Tailed Victor Block
Plane by Leonard Bailey & Co.
The Victor #1 1/4 had a cast iron tail piece / handle. 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. The cutter has lots of life left and the
adjuster performs as it should. Note how good the cutter logo is. It
is a beautiful plane in top condition.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.
