Stair
Makers Handrail Shave
This piece is unmarked
as to maker but it is very nicely done. The body is cast brass and the cutters
well made and sharp. I assume it would be used for the final scraping of stair
rail from the shape and form.
Exc. ..... $125.00 SOLD!
2
Patented Center Head Combo Tools
Tough
to find these have been in the collection for 20 -30 years. The
smaller one I believe a Standard Tool Co. example. The blade is marked Standard
Tool Co. Athol. It is a 2 piece affair that was pinned together. The
tag on it indicates it came from Roger Smith back in 1979. Left....... Good+ ..... $125.00 SOLD!

The
Standard Take-Down Framing Square
The copperized finish on this framing
square was an upgrade option that Southington offered and not many people choose
as this is the first one that I have seen. It is simply marked "The Standard"
and is in excellent condition. The canvas case did its job, and is a bit tattered
looking. The 101 model according to the small pocket catalog that is included
also offered their patented rafter tables that their 100 model did not. Very
Nice!!

St.
Johnsbury Patented Bevel
Mr. I. J. Robinson of St. Johnsbury VT, is known as the premier maker of bevels,
squares and other measuring tools for the woodworking and machinist trades,
and pulled the patent for this design bevel on June 14th 1870. There were
none finer to be had during his day, and his line of tools remain today one of the
favorites of the old tool collecting crowd. This example has some light pitting
on the 6" blade, but the 4" body and the rosewood infill are in super condition.
The name and patent info on the body are clear and strong. A Mr. A. Young
has carefully and tastefully stamped his name into the rosewood for an added nice
touch. A nice example.

12"

in an unusual size and in unusually nice condition.

Fisher
1868 Patent Combination Bevel / Gauge
This bevel
w/ readable degree gauge is in nice condition. The small thumbscrews are original
and the blade and scales are nice. The Rosewood body is very nice, and the
screws are not damaged. The patent info is on the brass arch. These
are a hard to find tool in this nice condition and turn up only occasionally.
Lufkin
Rule w/ Patent Pending Bevel Guide
I have seen and know of a few of these add on gizmos for wooden rules.
This one is marked Thomas Mitre Rule & Patent Pend.
Goodell Pratt #340 Clapboard / Siding
Gage
Here
is a tool you use to see from time to time. They are also a tool that everyone
use to ask what is that. I imagine if you handed one to a Vinyl siding guy
today he would not have a clue. For making a perfect cut up next to the window
trim or corner boards. Today they run that piece over the siding. I have never seen either Goodell Pratt's or Stanley's version in
the box before. A rare example.
