Small 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.

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 Plane   This pattern makers plane is the nicest and most complete 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.     PIC     PIC

Pattern Makers Plane   This pattern makers plane is made from a Stanley #3 that was adapted to this purpose.  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 8 different radius bottoms, and 8 well made tapered cutters.  The bottoms are marked 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20.   The cutters are unmarked as to maker and it looks like the maker of the plane ground and polished any cutter maker name off, but they are early matching manufactured plane cutters.    The plane is sound and nice overall.     PIC     PIC
