Phillips Plow Plane  This is a very nice plane that is in excellent condition.  Russell Phillips was first granted the patent for this design plane in 1867.  He hailed from Gardiner, Maine.  He was later issued a couple more patents for improvements to the design.  This is one of the later models of this original design that was offered before the "improved" version was introduced in about 1871.  The condition of this example is wonderful.  Note the original Rosewood handle and graceful horn.  The thumb screw for the depth stop has been modified to facilitate tightening it, it should be round but has been squared off to allow for a better grip.  The rest of the plane is original and very nice.   A fine example that deserves a place in any collection focused on Patented metallic planes of the 19th century.   It is a winner. Super!!

Phillips Patented Improved Plow Plane  This is one of the later models by the same name as the plane above.  This example is marked on all the parts #66 which I assume is the assembly #.  Overall the condition is good with some of the decoration and highlights still remaining on portions.  The fence does not seem to want to tighten on the rod properly, but I did not fuss with it.  The small depth stop and screw for it are missing.  

 

Excellent.....$1095.00       SOLD!       

 

 

Pattern Makers Plane  This is a nice set.  The plane itself has the early look of an English Spiers, Norris or Mathieson style plane.  Most of the 11 cutters are marked Buck Brothers.  A couple have been replaced.  The 11 bottoms lock on in the rear on a dovetail as can be seen, and through the front handle in front.  A nice example.

fales.jpg (28270 bytes)Fales Patent Combination Plane  The Fales Patent plane is one of the most complicated patented combination woodworking planes that was ever manufactured. It took two bottoms, a cutter, plus a few more pieces to make a simple cut.  This one is complete with all the various pieces.  The history of this plane is interesting also, and has its roots traced back to Otis Smith of Smith and Wesson gun fame.  It dates from the late 1800's, and had a very limited production run as it  immediately became clear that they were not going over well, and it became evident that the buying public even back then was familiar with the marketing phrase KISS.   Still in shiny-nice new condition and as a bonus even has some of the original promotional paper that came with it..  These are found, but never in this condition or to this degree of completeness.    Good +.....$1295.00         SOLD!  

 

 

mayo.jpg (33050 bytes)Mayo's Improved Patented Plow Plane  This unusual patented plane Is most commonly referred to as a Mayo's Patent, but is also known as "The Boss Plane" which is cast into the side as well as the patent information.  This plane went through a series of design changes during its few short years of manufacture, and this is one of the last variations. Several people marketed it and Mayo was the final owner of the rights and patent.  One of the nicest features if that the name Mayo is spelled out in script on the brass or gunmetal screws.  Earlier versions are known as the Phillips Patent Plow, and were marketed by Babson and Reppelier of the Boston Tool Co.   Good +.....$1295.00         SOLD!
