Stanley
#602 Type 7 Bedrock Smooth Plane This #602 Stanley Bedrock
is a very nice plane overall. These planes were
Stanley's top of the line bench planes when produced starting around 1898 up until
the Second World War when production ceased. And when compared to the standard line
of bench planes that Stanley put out it is like comparing Cadillac's with Vega's.
Today they remain one of the most sought after and highly regarded bench planes
that has ever been produced due to their superior quality, top of the line design
features, and the super usability traits that they exhibit. This is by far
the rarest and most desirable size of the Bedrock series of planes that was made.
It has the proper Stanley Lever cap for this era, and the cutter, which is full
length is of sweetheart vintage. The wood is nice, and the sole and throat
area are nice as well. A Nice Plane!

SOLD
Stanley
Bedrock #603 Smooth Plane This #603 flat
top Bedrock is a nice example from the ever popular Bedrock series of Stanley's
"Cadillac", top of the line series of bench planes that they produced up until the
second World War. This one has most of its original japanning on the interior
surfaces, and the sides and sole have been carefully lapped to be free of rust or
pitting. There are two pinhead size irregularities in the throat, but they
are cosmetic, and will in no way interfere with the usability of the piece.
There are two patent dates behind the frog, and it has a replaced full length notched
logo cutter. The cap has Bedrock cast into it, but there are some bang marks
or dings on the neck of it, again just cosmetic. The Rosewood handle and knob
are near perfect. This one will make a perfect user, and will become a mainstay
in the arsenal of quality tools on your bench.
Good +.....$195.00
SOLD
Stanley Bedrock #604 1/2 C Type 3 Smooth Plane
This plane is in good overall condition. It has very little original japanning left. I have put very nice proper and original vintage wood on this plane. I replaced the short cutter with a proper vintage cutter. I lightly cleaned the whole plane. There is very light texture / pitting on the sides and bottom, but nothing major or that has to be dealt with. It would lap out easily and if repainted this plane would look super. The stuff on the cap is crud, and not pitting. It will come off as well with a proper cleaning. It is priced accordingly, and will make a great user just the way it sits.Excellent.......$295.00 SOLD
Stanley Bedrock #604 1/2 Type 6 Smooth Plane This plane is in excellent overall condition. Note the great early Stanley Rosewood handle with a nearly full original decal. The high knob is very nice as well with no cracks or finish loss. They are both rich, dark, and near flawless. The cutter has the sweetheart logo and that as well as the other features date this plane from approx 1912-1922. The original black japanning is well over 90% but is very light from what i have seen on other examples. There are no casting cracks, chips or other flaws, anywhere! The throat area is very nice as is the rest of the sole. The sides have a ever so light texture or pitting that can not be felt but with a glass is evident and indicates that this plane was once lightly rusted, but his is not really noticeable, and will in no way affect the use. It would easily lap out if one so desired. The cap is proper and according to the type study that Bob Kaune has put out, this would be a type 6 and all parts are proper for this. These 604 1/2 Bedrock planes very hard to find these days, and they are still the standard that all planes try to emulate 100 years later. Nothing finer has ever been built for the money and value in one of these planes, and this one will not disappoint in any way, it is very nice!! Top Shelf! Recommended.

Stanley
# 605 1/4 Bedrock Junior Jack Plane
This super condition plane is a type 9, and
is proper in all respects. It still retains nearly all of the original black
japanned finish. The knob and handle are nice, noting the
partial decal on the handle. There is a small
1/8" deep by 1/2" chip out of the top of the tote. There are no casting problems,
and the body just exhibits a nice even patina. It has never been over cleaned
or otherwise messed with as there was no need. This collector condition and
very difficult to find plane is a super example of a plane that does not appear
very often. A nice one!!
Excellent ............$375.00

Early
Stanley Bedrock #606 Fore Plane This
example has the Stanley Pat 92 cutter and nearly 2 inches of meat left on it. It
retains approx 80% of the japanning, and there is no rust or pitting, just an nice
even brown patina on the exposed metal areas. It sports a rosewood handle
that has a chunk missing near the top and a nice low front knob. This plane
has one patent date behind the rear handle of April 2nd 1895 and the proper Stanley
/ Bedrock 3 line lever cap that is in super condition. It is a type 3 dating
it from 1900-08 and all parts are proper and original. A good user for the
shop or put it on the shelf.
Good+....$195.00
Stanley
Bedrock #607 C Jointer Plane This
607C is a type 8 according to the type study with the exception of having a replaced
later full length cutter with the notched rectangle logo. It still retains
approx 90% of its original japanning with the largest amount missing right at the
tail. The sides and the sole look good and have been lightly cleaned. The
wood is nice with no major chips cracks or the like, just some loss of finish.
A used plane that will make a great user and a favorite of the woodworkers who use
them.
Good+....$275.00
Early
Round Side #608 C Stanley Bedrock Jointer Plane
This vintage workhorse from Stanley's top of
the line Bedrock series is in nice condition. There is approx. 85% plus of the original
japanning on the body, and the nice even patina on the exposed metal parts that
can only come with nearly 100 years of age, careful use and proper storage. This
example has all the characteristics of a type 3 and is proper in all respects for
that vintage plane including a properly marked cutter. There are no casting cracks,
chips or other damage anywhere. There are some small nicks in the top of the gracefully
formed rosewood tote that is hardly noticeable. The grain and color of this
handle are nice. The front knob is nice.. This line of planes was the
the Flagship of the Stanley line, the Bedrock 600 Series, and are still considered
the best plane made or available, and no other plane by any other maker has ever
come close to matching them in quality, design, usability and value since Stanley
first started producing them over a 100 years ago. This example will not disappoint.
It is a beautiful plane.
Good+.........$275.00 SOLD!
