Antique & Vintage Collectible 

Woodworking Planes

On this antique woodworking plane sales page you will find a wide and varied selection of antique woodworking planes and other antique tools that I am selling on consignment from several large and diverse tool collections.  One of these antique tool collections was begun as far back as the 60's. 

I am gong to be listing for sale various antique and collectible tools from a variety of makers and trades on this and the other antique tool pages that originate from these tool collections of antique tools.   

Early patented woodworking planes & vintage planes by makers such as  Stanley, Sargent, Millers Falls Tool Co, Winchester, Keen Kutter, Ohio Tool, Union Tool and others will be found here here on the Misc Plane Sale Page, the Stanley Plane Page. and on the Bargain Tools Page  

Some of these companies, Millers Falls Tool Co., Sargent Tool Co., Union Tool Co, and Ohio Tool Co. and others, produced quality lines of woodworking planes and other tools to compete with Stanley in the marketplace.  Other famous names such as the Simmons Hardware Co. of Saint Louis MO, whose tools were known as Keen Kutter Brand, or Winchester of Gun making fame, were for the most part merely distributors, rarely actually producing any of their own lines of tools, but rather jobbed out production orders to Stanley, Sargent, Ohio Tool or other  makers and then marketed their famous and now very collectible line of tools depending solely on their reputation and the marketing skills of their salesmen and distributors to make a profit and stay in the game.  Simmons Hdwe. Co. AKA Keen Kutter did it well, while the Winchester antique tool story was not as pretty.  Their foray into the world of tools was pretty short lived, hence the relative scarcity of many Winchester tools except for the reproductions and freshly stamped examples that abound today.  

In addition to these well known names there will also be offerings of early Patented woodworking planes from obscure and lesser known tool makers who also contributed examples of  "better" ideas to the range of vintage collectible tools that are avidly collected today. 

There will be rare and desirable patented woodworking planes from known and recognized makers including Leonard Bailey as well as a good sampling of quality metal woodworking planes created by various lesser known makers like Steers, Morris, Davis Tool Co. and more.  These planes are from the era when people like Leonard Bailey and other entrepreneurs with the spirit of Yankee ingenuity  were producing lines of woodworking tools and patented planes during the mid to late 1800's for the American consumer and created some wonderful collectible planes for today's collectors.
