John Passcue. 10" sole, 5/8" wide. Twin friction-fit nickers. Wood is oxidized with light wear, two holes where a fence may have been attached. Passcue was born in Girondin, France as John Paschal and immigrated to Philadelphia in the 1790s; five star mark, faint but legible.

Israel White. 1-3/4" shallow hollow, 9-3/8" long, rounded chamfers. It has the very rare double eagle stamp - L in AWP - with the name "R.B. Blake" underneath it; looks like part of the stamp but Blake isn't listed in White's known journeymen. It also has W.C. Griffith stamped on both cheeks; a carpenter named William C. Griffith is listed in the 1856 and 1858 McElroy directories. Wood has typical light stains and scratches but no damage. From the collection of Carl Bopp. Good+ 200-400B66-6241970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14869/b66-624B66-624 IVORY SOLE MOLDING PLANE. 1/4" side bead. The sole is fully boxed with ivory, and there is an ivory boxing strip along the edge and ivory batten strips with a decorative design. The plane itself is 9" long and unsigned; nicely made and very clean. Ivory is lightly yellowed. From the collection of Steve Dice.

Souder. 5/8" side bead, with two lignum boxing strips, 9-1/2" long, wide rounded chamfers. A mark. Some very light wear but overall in near mint condition.

Matched set, red beech, 9-1/2" long, rounded chamfers, both stamped on toe and with some user names. Clearly used, but maintained in near mint condition. Fine 75-150B66-6211970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14866/b66-621B66-621 SET OF PATTERNMAKER'S PLANES. Eighteen total, a variety of sizes and sole curvature, some compassed. Seventeen of them are marked "CCS" on the heel and with the size on the toe; the eighteenth is a low angle block marked R. Briggs, not the same maker but it fits in well. Lengths range from 3" to 7", about half have wooden strike buttons. The wood is a light, tight-grained hardwood, possibly maple. All very clean and well made. Fine 200-400B66-6201970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14865/b66-620B66-620 SET OF TEN MINIATURE PLANES. Probably an instrument maker's set. They all look like they are by the same maker, but with different marks. Five - a rabbet, a bullnose with brass plate, two compassed rabbets, and a compassed hollow - are marked "H. Ball." Two - a matched hollow and round pair with compassed soles - are marked "T. Johnson." A squirrel tail rabbet is marked "T. Leonard" and the remaining two - a 3-1/2" roughing plane and a round - are unmarked. One of the two marked Johnson is missing its wedge and cutter, the others are all in near mint condition.

Screw arm type, both bodies fully boxed, boxwood nuts and arms. Some minor chips in threads, tight crack in front nut. Bodies and wedge have overall moderate wear but no major damage. A mark, Schafer & Cobb made and sold tools in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1853 to 1855.

Unsigned but looks early, cove and ovolo profile (Whelan Figure 11:11A), 14-1/2" sole, 3-1/4" cutter, apprentice hole, center mounted open tote. Oxidized with some light overall wear. Good+ 100-200B66-6161970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14861/b66-616B66-616 JOINTER. Taber Patent. Good example of Wing Taber's 1865 patented blade holding mechanism, 21" sole, chip from tote, B mark (very faint), original 2-1/4" cutter. Taber's idea was that by driving the cutter support and the screw that holds the lever cap directly into the plane body, he would eliminate the need for wedges that could split the plane body. PTAMPIA I, pp. 126-27. Good+ 100-200B66-6151970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14860/b66-615B66-615 CROWN MOLDING PLANE. Henry G. White. Quirk ogee and bevel, 2" profile, 13-1/2" sole with center mounted open tote, two strips of lignum boxing, D mark (very clear). Wood is oxidized and generally very clean with moderate wear, noting one check that runs from the corner of the boxing strip into the mark on the toe. Marked "Two Inches" on the heel. One J.C. Oat stamped his name at least six times, and there is another name on the cheeks. Henry White was the nephew and surrogate son of Israel White, who took over the family planemaking business after the deaths of Israel and Charlotte. From the collection of Steve Dice. Good+ 200-400B66-6141970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14859/b66-614B66-614 TRIPLE IRON CORMIER CORNICE PLANE. Burnold Freres. Fillet, reverse ogee and quirk bead, 3" total profile, spring marked. The body is beautifully made from three separate pieces of cormier wood, dovetailed together, 11" sole. No tote, unusual for such a large plane, but an apprentice hole. Stamped "Burnold Freres Lyon" with the address in an oval mark on the right cheek. Only the center iron has a throat, the right hand iron has an open throat and a dovetailed batten, the right has a side escapement in the form of a teardrop shaped slot. The right cutter is marked "Peugeot & Jackson, Brevetes", which is French for "Patentees." A beautifully made and intriguing plane. From the collection of Steve Dice. Fine 350-700B66-6131970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14858/b66-613B66-613 COFFIN PLANE. E.W. Carpenter Patent. Good example of Carpenter's March 27, 1849, patent, which used two wedges with the cutter held between them. We've seen this in jointers and occasionally a jack plane, but this is the first coffin smoother we've seen. 8-1/2" sole, 2-1/2" Humphreysville cutter, spalled. B mark that includes the patent date (upside down), four stars in AWP. Wood is oxidized with one significant check in the heel and a few small scrapes and dings. Good+ 150-300B66-6121970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14857/b66-612B66-612 JOINTER. Worrall Patent. Uncommon variation on Thomas Worrall's 1857 patent that used a bolt through the rear of the plane to secure the cutter. Instead of having a full cast iron plate, it has a partial iron top with a socket for the tote. Like the fore plane in Figure 27a on page 29 of PTAMPIA I, with a 22" sole and no knob. Lowell Plane & Tool Co. B mark on toe. 2-3/8" William Ash cutter, which were used by other Lowell planes and is probably original. Wood has light overall wear but no damage, iron top plate has lost its yellow japanning. Good 80-160B66-6111970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14856/b66-611B66-611 GAGE SELF SETTING PLANE. Stanley No. G22 From the early stage of Stanley's ownership, toe is marked only with the model number but Stanley's name is on the metal plate. 10" sole and 1-7/8" cutter, wood clean with original finish, metal has light oxidation but no rust or pitting. Good+ 60-120B66-2931970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14538/b66-293B66-293 LOT OF HOLLOWS AND ROUNDS. Ohio Tool Co. 26 planes in total. There's an almost complete No. 72 set, with Nos. 1 through 9, missing only the No. 5 and No. 9 rounds. A No. 10 pair from a No. 73 set. Plus four additional sets, No. 2, No. 4, a pair marked No. 6 but only 5/8", and one marked No. 8 that are only 3/4". All very clean, marked by OTC and most also marked as owned by S & J.H. Whitaker of Toledo. From the collection of David Jeffers.

One to cut a 1/2" flute, with attached batten and apprentice hole, the other a 1" round. Overall moderate wear and chipping. The round has three slots in the sole that may have held boxing. Both have the O mark with three "I.W"s; according to AWP the O mark (four stars) was used by White exclusively for mother planes and these may have been White's shop tools. From the collection of Carl Bopp. Good 300-600B66-2911970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14536/b66-291B66-291 LOT OF TWO SIDE BEADS. Holtzapffel. 3/8", corner boxed, and 3/16", full boxed, both with open throats and screwed on battens. Marked Holtzapffel, 64 Charing Cross Rd. on toes. Mint condition, appear to have never been used. Fine 150-300B66-2901970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14535/b66-290B66-290 PATENTED REBATE AND BEADING PLANE. W. Greenslade. One seriously weird plane. It has a sliding filletster type fence and a normal cutter, the only other one we've seen it's a rebate, but on this one it cuts a 1" bead, with a matching fully boxed concave sole. It features a rotating cutter ring, controlled by an angled screw in the toe, to cut different diameter smaller beads. It also has two separate depth stops of which only one is adjustable, and a wedged nicker. Stamped "W. Greenslade, Bristol", "Patent", and "Exhibition Medals London, Dublin, Paris, Melbourne" on the toe. There's a picture of this monstrosity on page 169 of Tony Murland's value guide, where he rates it as a five star rarity. From the collection of Steve Dice.

Unsigned, "C" profile in Whelan Figure 11:11, 3-1/2" wide, center mounted open tote, apprentice hole. Birch, 12-1/4" long, some minor scratches and checks and a large chip from the toe end of the sole, otherwise very clean.

Unsigned, sliding fence type, 16-1/4" long, 4-1/4" skewed cutter. Unlike most which have a full-length wooden depth stop, this one has a brass depth stop with brass wing nut. There's a small chip from the end of the tote and some checks in the body, otherwise like new. From the collection of David Jeffers. Fine 200-400B66-2871970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14532/b66-287B66-287 SET OF MINIATURE BOXWOOD PLANES. Galpine. 26 total. A variety of different profiles, including rabbets, with flat and compassed soles, scrapers with vertically bedded cutters, etc. All approximately 4" long and stamped "Galpine." Each has a hole drilled through the body behind the throat. Some have mild staining but most generally clean and undamaged. One cutter missing. Good+ 300-600B66-2861970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14531/b66-286B66-286 DOUBLE-BODIED HAWK PLANE. Hawk planes have a v-shaped sole and a pointed cutter; equipped with a plow type fence they were used in shipyards to score lines along the planking in a ship's hull to guide the painting of stripes. This isn't the first one we've seen with a double body, but what's unusual about this one is that one has a flat and the other a compassed sole. We're not sure how that would work, but they're both clearly original to the plane. Slide arms are locked by hand-carved wingnuts in both bodies, each body also has a wooden depth stop with a locking wingnut. Wood oxidized and with some checks and scratches but no damage. One depth stop is jammed. Toe of the flat sole body is faintly marked "W. Soule"; there were a number of planemakers named Soule but this was probably the owner. Very unusual. Good+ 100-200B66-2851970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14530/b66-285B66-285 DECORATIVE JOINTER. Unsigned. 36-12" sole, front knob has a decorative breaking wave pattern, offset closed tote with a pattern that looks like three letters - could be "FSC," which were probably the initials of the maker. There's also a decorative linenfold pattern in the throat. Knob and tote both pegged. The wood looks like cherry and is in immaculate condition, noting only a couple of splits in the front knob. 2-1/2" Weldon double cutter, slightly spalled. A beautiful plane. Good+ 150-300
