Antique & Collectible Stanley Rule & Level Co. Woodworking Planes
The Stanley Rule and Level company was formed
in the late 1850's and began their business producing a line of folding rules and general
hardware in New Britain Conn.. Levels came next, and a few years later t That association had a rocky history and that story is detailed in Roger Smiths books on the history and development of Patented Transitional and Metallic in America Vol 1 & 2. After their initial success with Leonard Bailey's patents and the acceptance of metal bodied planes by America's craftsmen Stanley added new designs and models to their line of metal bodied planes including many different rabbet planes, dado planes, compass planes and other specialty planes in addition to standard bench planes. These designs have famous names like Miller's Patent or Schrade associated with them as well as many other lesser known inventors ideas that Stanley utilized in these designs.
In time the full range of these planes will be found on this page as I begin to get into and list this collection of Stanley Planes I will be selling. There are a couple of rare vertical posts I sold this fellow 10-20 years ago as well as some nice Bedrocks and almost every other plane Stanley produced. This was a large and focused Stanley collection that included nearly every # plane available and then some that Stanley produced. Many of these vintage and antique Stanley planes are
suitable for both the advanced or
beginning tradesmen and craftsmen for use today. Users ranging from professional
cabinet makers, furniture makers and finish carpenters will find
planes on this page that will be useful in their endeavors. Even general woodworkers
and carpenters on the job or in the home woodworking
woodshop will find plane There are planes by other makers available and some nice planes are even being produced today, but for the money, the quality and performance of a nice Stanley / Bailey plane or Stanley Bedrock can not be matched. Antique woodworking planes including some rare and unusual patented planes by other makers can be found my other tool pages right now. Please visit those pages by clicking the links found in the left hand column. I attempt to grade my tools conservatively, and will tell you about defects or major alterations such as replaced parts or repaints which in general I try not to carry. If you have any questions about individual pieces that I have for sale feel free to ask.
