 Stanley 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.  To learn all the history about these 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. 

 

Stanley # 45 Combination Plane  This 45 dates from near the turn of the century.  The collector looks to have married up the cutters with a body he bought at a different time.  At first I thought this was a rare cutter box i had never seen before, but now do not know what to make of it.  There are 20 cutters in it, but the label says it was a 55 box.  Still I have never seen this slip style cutter box before.  Anyway, It is in OK condition.  It has a slitter just the long arms shown, and no cam.  I think he has about 25 more of these in the collection.  He just bought everyone he saw.   I know I sold him more than a few over the years.    Pic     Pic

# 45 Multi / Combo Plane made by Stanley for Montgomery Wards  This 45 plane dates from the 20's or 30's  It looks to have never been used.  There are a few minor spots along the skate and body where the plating is lifting, otherwise it is near mint.  It includes the instructions, cam, 2 sets of rods, screwdriver, slitter and more.  It has both fences and 2 depth stops.  There is also the double box of cutters that are like new.  The outer box which is not shown is original and nice.  These off brand 45's are becoming very hard to find in this nice condition, and it is every bit as nice as the Stanley model, just marked a bit differently.    It will make a great user or is nice enough to take a place on the shelf.        Pic

Stanley # 45 Multi Plane  This Stanley # 45 is an early japanned model.  The tag identifies it as a type 2.  I did not check that out exactly.  There is a box of cutters included and they are a put together set ---- some look right, some reshaped, most OK.      Pic

2 Stanley #46 Skew Cut Plow Planes   From the left are two different # 46 bodies and a # 47.  No cutters and each is a bit rough but OK.  The tag on the #47 says this plane came from Roger Smith back in the early 80's.  It looks right to me, and I doubt Roger was grinding off depth stops in his spare time between writing his books on the subject.
