Metal Bodied Woodworking Planes

 

"Ganby" Gunmetal Rabbit Plane   This is an interesting bronze or Gunmetal Rabbit plane that I have never seen before.  It is a very nice casting and the name "Ganby" is very clear on the side in cast letters.   The cap has an unusual slot affair for the way it locks in place (see picture) and is set by turning the decorative screw which tightens the blade in place at the same time.  The paint looks vintage and original.  It is 1" wide, and nearly 4" long.  Different & Nice.      click for Pic     click for Pic    click for Pic     click for Pic

3 Door Gain Planes  These planes came out of a fitted tool box.  There were also T & G planes and other finish type planes in that box.  These are for cutting the hinge gains in doors.  Why this fellow needed three of them is beyond me unless he was using one for each hinjge on a door.

Block Plane   This is an interesting low angle block plane that I do not recognize.  The cap seems to be a make-do but with an unusual slot affair for the way it locks in place (see picture).  It is low angle, and it seems to function properly.  Interesting.       click for Pic     click for Pic

Aluminum Fore Plane  This #6 size plane is unmarked on the body as to a maker, but was created using Stanley parts.  They are most commonly associated with ship building and were made for jointing long boards or flooring / decks.  It is a fine casting job.  Different.    Click for Pic

Montgomery Wards #7 Jointer Plane  This # 7 size smooth bottom jointer plane was made by Stanley and is marked Wards Master on the lever cap.  It has a nice Rosewood handle like one would expect to see on a Stanley plane from the 30's or so.  It has the external frog adjusting screw feature.  Swap out the lever cap and no one would know.  It is a Stanley in every respect and one could make the argument much rarer than a typical Stanley #7 from the same era.  I have had sellers make that argument to me when selling theirs.    A great user.      Click for Pic
