Stanley Bench Planes
3
Stanley Aluminum Bench Planes Stanley made and sold a few different
Aluminum planes and other tools back in the 20's and 30's. They
made an aluminum version of the #18 block plane, the #78 and the #45, some
levels, a brace, as well as these three different size bench planes, the A4-A5-&
A6.
Each of these planes is pretty nice with no major detractions. They are quite soft, and can oftentimes be found with deep scratches in the soles or sides, but these 3 examples are pretty nice. Each has been fitted with one of Stanley's aftermarket aluminum handles that were typically offered separately. I suppose the collector felt they better represented the flavor of the aluminum planes and he probably swapped them out just for the look. Pic Pic

# 3 Smooth Planes The one on the left looks to be a marriage of sorts sporting new
(old) replacement wood, it has characteristics spanning a pretty long period of
time, but it is all there and a very nice example. The cutter indicates it dates
from the teens, but the high knob says it is later.
On the left is a later pre war example that looks to be right in all respects. Both still have 90% or better of their original japanning and both have nice Rosewood handles and knobs. A user favorite. Pic Pic

Type 4 Pre Lateral #5 Jack Plane This is a nice early example. The bed is not marked, and only
the cutter and inside the brass nut are marked. No real problems. Clean
it and display it. Nice.

# 5 1/5 Jack Planes One is a smooth, one corrugated. Both are damage free

are tight. Pic

# 7 Jointer Plane This #7 Jointer plane is in nice condition. Note the beautiful
full grain Rosewood handle. There is no damage, and it retains 90%
or more of its original japanning with just some white splatter from a over
zealous painter. It just needs a
clean and tune-up. CYN-SBP-7
