Antique Hand Tools                                

I have an inventory of metal and wood planes.   These are items I have collected over the years  for resale.  I also inventory a few saws and hand  drills and braces.  These will be posted on the         web-site as they are available for sale.  They vary  in age and condition but I attempt to purchase   items that are useable with no significant  modification or tune-up.   

English 18th or Early 19th Century Cast Steel Infill Plane
 This cast steel infill plane was in all probability produced in England. It is complete with WP (Ward) cast steel blade hand punched marked with the cross hammer and anvil within the logo and again above the logo. The infill appears to be rosewood. It is marked with the owners imprint J. GILES on both sides of the rear handle and again on the front infill. The wedge is well worn and a very old replacement, clearly not rosewood. The front infill may have had a knob or raised adjustment strike point. Under magnification there are no saw marks or chisel marks I can detect leading me to believe it is a strike point.  It is mounted cross grain and hence my assumption that it is an original non-rosewood strike point that has been well used. It may have been leveled long ago. The "II ARRANTED" "STEEL" Chip Breaker appears to be original and complete with a thread steel screw into a brass receiver that fits neatly into a hand cut beveled circle on the top side of the chip breaker. This is a very early cast steel plane.  GOOD to GOOD + $2,195.00

SARGENT & CO NO 61 Hand Router
 The router is complete with 40 percent of the original surface. As found. It is able to be used and the blade can be adjusted with precision.  Good $75
