Steers
Patent # 306 Fore Plane w/ Rosewood Sole
This is about the nicest example of one of these planes I have
ever had. Typically the rosewood inlaid in the sole is all torn up and
has missing portions. Not so here, the inlaid strips are near perfect.
It has the proper marked Jennings cutter in it. The tote and front
knob are solid and nice. No apologies. Clean 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. It is thought that his block plane dates 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 foreward 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.

Unusual
1850s Dated Cutter Adjustment in Wooden Coffin Shaped Smooth Plane
I
have been told this is Patent # 13575 granted in 1855 to Horace Harris. The cutter is marked Warranted
September 18 1853 or 8. It looks as though the adjustable cutter mechanism may
have been sold as a unit to be installed in the plane of your choice.
The plane it is currently in is unmarked as to maker. There is a small
period repair to the side where the cutter adjustment unit looks to have been a
bit to wide and the side split out a bit.
The overall condition of the wood body and wedge is otherwise OK. An interesting example of an unusual and hard to find plane.

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 plane is a mystery. I see no maker marks. It has some interesting
design aspects.
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. It has a nice Moulson cutter in it.
The lever cap is cast, hollow in the back and has a distinctive look to it with coves in the casting top. Also note how the handle (cracked at base) 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. The body is a great casting that was japanned. A nice example of an early and probably unique plane. Nice!!

1857 Worrall Patent
26" Transitional Jointer Plane This early 26" closed
handle patented jointer plane is in nice overall condition.Note that the top plate with patent info does not extend all the way to the end. According to Roger Smith it is an earlier version. 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. In addition to the patent info on the top casting, it is also stamped on the nose of the plane, and the cutter is also properly marked.
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. The color change on the bottom is sap wood, or a stain. It is not soft, rotten or other damage. Nice, Early & 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.

Keen
Kutter K 5 Jack Plane (Stanley 605 Bed Rock) Simmons
Hardware contracted out to Stanley to provide their line of bench planes for
a few years back around 1910. They opted for the Bed Rock style with
the mated frog to body design. They numbered them with a single K and the 5
size. Later Simmons would use Ohio, Sargent and others to make their line of
planes. These are usually marked KK 5.
Some light pitting. The wood is OK noting it has remains of a dark finish on it. Cutter is proper and OK. It will detail out to be very nice and will be a great user. A Bed Rock design plane at less than half the price of a typical Stanley model.

"B" Plane 9 3/4 Tailed Block Plane
This Birmingham Tool Co. "B" Plane 9 3/4 block plane
w rear handle is in
very nice condition. The turned wooden rear handle is an odd shape, not being round,
and may be replaced. Birmingham Tool Co. was a major "wannabe" competitor of
Stanley's back near 1900. In addition to their line of well known all
metal planes, they also offered a line of planes similar to Stanley's
typical line of
bench planes. It has been said that their naming them B planes was an
effort to play off of Leonard Baileys name. Note the few subtle
differences from a typical Stanley plane. Far rarer and harder to find
than the Stanley equivalent. Clean and Nice. Note, I have put a proper shape, original Rosewood knob on this, and it looks somewhat nicer and more original.
