Rosewood body, fence and wedge, boxwood arms and nuts. Four turned ivory finials, some checks but near white, a few chips in the threads, small check in one outer nut. E mark.

Extremely rare unhandled example of the three-armed self-regulating plow manufactured by the Newark, NJ, partnership of Abraham Mockridge and Elias Francis in the 1860s. Body, fence and arms look like ebony but could be very dark rosewood. Brass adjusting nut and bridge, brass-tipped arms. The wooden nut on the outboard side of the body is a modern replacement, the wedge is missing its finial, and there are some miscelleaneous dings, particularly on the heel, but overall a nice clean example of a very rare plane. C mark, upside down, plus user names on toe. Good+ 6000-9000B58-3872021-04-18T15:15:00+01:002021-04-18T15:15:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/6924/b58-387B58-387 THREE-ARM PLOW PLANE. Israel White. Extraordinarily rare handled version of White's 1834 patent, second version with the bridle type bridge. Beech body, bridge and wedge, boxwood nuts and fence, ebony arms with ivory tips. Ivory adjustment scales inlaid into front arm and body to adjust brass depth stop. Two brass rollers in the fence, one of only two known examples with this feature. The mark is not identical to any of those listed in AWP; it's closest to the D mark but with a row of stars surrounding the eagle and the word "Warranted" missing. The serial number is 106. There are no journeyman's initials in the mark itself, but the initials "JS" are stamped in the bridge, indicating that it was made by James Silcock. Threads are immaculate, a few chips from the fence and tight checks around the throat, ivory tips white and complete with a couple of small checks. The lot includes a framed reproduction of the 1833 broadside advertising the patent and signed by 100 Philadelphia architects, carpenters, cabinetmakers and piano makers endorsing its virtues. A plane as beautiful as it is rare, destined to be the centerpiece of any advanced collection. From the Dennis Fisher collection.

Fine 175-350B58-1972021-04-18T18:25:00+01:002021-04-18T18:25:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/6689/b58-197B58-197 SHOOTING BOARD PLANE. Leonard Bailey?. 16" long with a 3-1/4" skewed cutter. There's a capital "B" cast into the lever cap, and the cap screw itself is identical to those used on the Victor line of planes. However, there's no record of Leonard Bailey having produced a plane like this (he did make a shooting board plane, but it has a different design). No other markings, and there's no fence to go with it. So was this designed by America's greatest planemaking genius, or just some guy whose name started with B and who happened to have a Victor cap screw lying around? Your guess is as good as ours. For what it's worth, we're aware of at least one other similarly marked plane. From the Bud Steere collection.

N.L. Barrus. Beech throughout with cast brass locking nuts for the arms and the tombstone depth stop. Wedge is worn, there are depressions on the arms from the locking nuts, and some staining on the fence.
