Stanley Rule & Level Co
Plow &
Combination Planes
Stanley tried a few different designs of metal bodied combination or plow planes before settling down and going with the #45 / 55 series of planes they are so well known for. This series would also include the skew cut #46 & 47. The Millers Patent line of planes including the #41-#44 were introduced in 1870, and phased out in the 1890's. To learn all the history about the 3 45 & 55 planes one would ever need to know I recommend the great guide written and published by Dave Heckle past president of MWTCA. Please see bottom of page. The Millers Patent line of planes is discussed in length in Roger Smiths works on the subject.

Stanley
Millers Patent #44 Plow Plane
The Stanley Millers Patent line of
Combination Plow and Fillister planes is one of the most graphic, good looking,
and sought after of all patented manufactured woodworking planes. First introduced
in 1870 this line of planes was offered by Stanley for less than 30 years before
being phased out in favor of the more popular and versitle Stanley #45 / 55 series
of planes.
This is a #44 Gunmetal or Bronze plow plane. It is proper
the way it is shown with its straight bronze fence. The #42 Plow would have
a Fillister Bed, and the bronze wrap around fence. These planes originally
came with 9 cutters, but are usually only found with 1 cutter as this one has.
The condition is very nice with no pitting or rust. Note the bold and clear
name stamp on the skate. The one apology would be the roughness on the top
of the tote. This is one of the nicer examples of this very beautiful
and highly desirable and collectible planes that I have ever had the pleasure to
offer. A winner that belongs on the top shelf of every serious tool collection.

# 45 Multi Plane

in nice condition. The plane is very nice w/ 95% of the nickel or better.
The outer box has seen better days but did its job protecting and keeping the
parts together. The cutters
are nice, never been ground and all here. The cover has a sweetheart
logo dating this plane from approx the 20's thru the 30's. It has both fences and both sets of rods
and the cam. A nice 45 that will make a great user.

Montgomery Wards / Stanley
# 45 Multi Plane
This # 45 plane was made by Stanley and is the equal to the Stanley version in
every respect. It is marked Montgomery Wards only on the wooden handle,
and paper labels on the box and cutters.
I am going to part this out as
the rods are missing, and I do not have any in as nice condition to complete it.
If you need a body part or fence, the cutters, depth stops or whatever inquire. Right
now, with the cutters in the box, all the body parts, and a few other pieces the
price is $150.00. Cutters (like NOS) in the box are $100. Individual body parts or fences
are $30.00 -$50.00. etc.

Stanley
# 55 Multi Plane in Original Low Box
This Stanley # 55 plane is in near mint condition. The nickel plating is 98% or better.
All the parts are here, right down to the screwdriver and instructions. It has the
auxiliary tower and shoe, both sets of rods, the cam, slitter, all the cutters in the 4 row box,
and more. It even has the original instruction pamphlet. (rear page
w/ tear). The cutters are mint and show no signs of ever having been used.
There is no rust / pitting or even storage rust
This later model 55 has the notched rectangle logo, dating it after 1939 and up
until about 1960. This plane shows just the slightest
indication that it was ever used noted by light rub marks on the inside of the
Rosewood fence. The box is OK and has a couple of
splits at the corners and top edge splits as one would expect to see from a 50 +
year old cardboard box.
A super Stanley # 55 combination plane in the original box with all original parts that marks the end of an era for the Stanley Rule & Level Co. These planes are becoming ever more difficult to find in this nice condition. Highly recommended.
