pattern makers planeSmall Pattern Makers Plane This is a very unusual size and form pattern makers plane.  It has 5 bottoms and 4 cutters.  It appears to be made of some sort of fruitwood.  It is marked W. Crompton in two places on the body which I assume was the maker / owner maker.  The fitted box for the cutters is very nice and the cutters are well made and sharp.  One of them is marked Jessup & Son Cast Steel "Green Label". The rest look to be from the same stock but are unmarked.   Overall the plane is 8" long, and the cutters are 1 1/4" wide.  The bottom of the plane has two brass slot affairs let in that locks the the bottoms to the base of the main body.  The plane is sound and nice overall.

pattern makers plane Simplex Pattern Makers Plane This to is a unusual  form pattern makers plane.  It has 6 bottoms and cutters cut in a concave as opposed to convex as is more typical with these planes. Each of the bottoms is marked / stamped with a radius #.  They are 5,  8, 12, 18, 24, and 48,  It appears to be a manufactured piece with the casting of the plane body carrying the name Simplex. The cutters look to be homemade andare a bit crude looking.    The plane is sound and nice overall.

pattern makers planePattern Makers Plan This pattern makers plane is the nicest and most complete pattern makers plane of the lot I picked up recently from the consignor.  It also looks to be the earliest as well.  It has 14 marked bottoms and 15 cutters that were made from Stanley block plane cutters.  The logo on most of the cutters is the half circle in Block letters which would date them from the late 1880's.  One has a slightly later logo, and one seems to be cut straight and not part of the set.  Each of the wood bottoms is marked / stamped with a radius #.  They are 4, thru 48,   The bottoms are held in place with four countersunk screws in each base.   The plane measures 12" long and utilizes a cam like pin in the adjuster slots on the back of the cutters to adjust the depth of cut.  The lever cap is a solid casting and again there is a Stanley like locking feature where when you move the lever at the top, and the eccentric nature or thickness of the round portion locks the cap and cutter in place.  Much like an early 9 1/2.  The handle and knob are very nice. The plane is sound and nice overall.  A very nice example.

pattern makers planePattern Makers Plane This pattern makers plane is made with Stanley #3 Type 5 first lateral parts fitted to a cast brass / gunmetal body.   It is very well done and in nice condition.  The maker cut a slot in the front and another just behind the frog so the different bottoms could be locked on.   There are 4 different  bottoms, and 1 cutter made from a Sargent cutter to fit the convex bottom now on the plane.   The extra bottoms are unmarked and all of them seem flat.  This may have been a project that was not completed or ?????.   The plane is sound and nice overall.

Bridge Tool Co. PlaneBridge Tool Co #6 C Fore Plane    This plane looks to be a Stanley product that dates from near the turn of the century.  Stanley use to do that sort of thing, just like they did for Simmons & the Keen Kutter line of K series planes or the Winchester line of planes they made.  . 

This plane has a beautiful light colored Rosewood handle from that era.  The plane is sound and nice overall.   A nice plane.   Hard to find!!

#78 Duplex Rabbit Plane#78 Duplex Rabbit Plane / Craftsman    This is as nice as one could ask for.  I do not think it is a Stanley product, so it is probably a Sargent or MF.  It will be a great user, and the parts alone are worth the price.

Siegley #5 Jack PlaneSiegley # 5C Jack Plane    Jacob Siegley was best known for his series of combination planes that were similar in design to Stanley's #45 plane.  He also made a line of bench planes.  This iron bodied corrugated plane is a #5 size. Siegley numbered his planes like Stanley, but the numbers did not always correspond to the size Stanley produced.  His later products looked like Stanley planes and this is one of those.  This one numbered 5 does roughly.  It is in very nice condition.  The wood is nice and there is no rust or pitting.  The cutter has the double S S mark.
