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 Smooth Plane
The patent for this unusual bench plane was issued on August 8 1893 to Louis Hardt of Yuba City California. The
patent shows a wooden plane, but the only known examples are metal bodied planes like this. There are only a handful of these
planes known, and almost all have turned up here in California, as did this one. This example came out of California based tool box that also contained an example of the smaller block plane Hardt produced. That is being offered here in a separate ad. In addition to the two Hardt Planes, there was also a Baker Hamilton "Stiletto" brand Draw knife marked Hardt twice. The first name is Otis and not Louis or John. In the same box were two additional cutters and an extra cap for the block plane, as well as 5 cutters for this smooth plane. Given that, the assumption is these planes and misc. parts have a direct link to and are part of the Hardt family legacy.
Roger Smith in his reference PATMPIA #1 has a story on what is known about Hardt. Roger surmised that Hardt had the body parts cast here in California, and then machined them himself. He then bought the frogs and cutters from Sargent, and those parts are proper and properly marked as they should be. Roger surmised that Hardt probably only made one production run of these and that approx. 7 or so were known at the time he published his Vol. 1 book on patented planes.
The Sargent handle and knob are original and in very nice condition. It is well made and nicely machined. The japanning is original and well over 90%. There are no structural flaws or issues. No apologies. About as nice as one could ask for.
A pair of Hardt planes were recently offered at a major tool auction and one brought up to $9,000.00. The second one had major damage and still bought close to 5K. Hardt planes came in at least three sizes. A block plane, a jointer size plane, and this the smoother at just under 12" long. All are rare. A nice example of one of the rarest American patented planes that can found, with the added bonus of it being the only plane patented here in CA. A rare opportunity.

design on August 8 1893. This rare block plane came out of California based tool box that also contained a smooth plane Hardt produced. and also a Baker Hamilton "Stiletto" brand Draw knife marked Hardt twice.

It is a well made and nicely machined plane. The japanning is original and approx. 90%. There are no structural flaws or issues. It appears to have been cleaned or was a rough casting as there is some pitting or texture on the sides and sole. A nice example of one of the rarest American patented planes that can found, with the added bonus of it being the only plane patented here in CA. A rare opportunity.

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!!

c.1860
- 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 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.

Simmons Hardware marketed their line of planes under the Keen Kutter name and over the years had several different tool makers like Stanley, Ohio, and Sargent Tools make planes for them under contract.
At one point, after the turn of the century, Simmons Hardware contracted with Stanley to make their planes based on Stanley's Bedrock plane design. These Stanley made planes were denoted by Simmons 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. Very Nice!!

near exact copy of the Stanley 39 series of skew rabbet planes. Sargent numbered
their version a bit different. All sizes started with a 3, and the
second number indicated the 1/8, hence a # 37 is 7/8" wide. The box
