Today's Featured Tool Description
Sandusky Tool Company/Sandusky, O No. 140: Rare Centerwheel Rosewood Plow Plane. Brass Center Wheel. Near New Condition. Length: 11.50 Inches. A rare and nearly perfectly preserved ROSEWOOD CENTERWHEEL PLOW PLANE No. 140 by the Sandusky Tool Company, Sandusky, Ohio. This extra clean example retains nearly all of its original finishes on both wood and metal. The adjustment mechanism is smooth and flawless and the plane has no chips, check, cracks or bruises. The prohibitively expensive cost of these planes when they were being produced made it much more likely that a woodworker who had made the decision to invest would not endeavor to save the minimal difference between the cost of the ivory tipped version and this version that was not so appointed. The finest example of this rare plane that we have ever observed. A top of the line plane in top of the line condition. Magnificent. From the Clifford Keefer Collection. (FINE). This item was sold on September 27, 2008 for $6,500.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions
jpg_file Lot 397. An example of MAYO'S IMPROVED PLOW PLANE as produced Babson & Reppellier of Boston, Massachusetts. This plane incorporates the August 13, 1867 U.S. Patent of Russell Phillips of Gardiner, Maine. Fully 95% of the original black japan finish and much of the original decorative striping remains on this plane. This classic early plane is in excellent superb condition, retaining much of its original decorative highlighting in addition to the japan finish. It is in top collector quality condition, noting that the screw to secure the fence does not tighten properly and may be a later replacement. One of the best examples of this plane that we have seen or offered for sale. Rare. (GOOD+).(800.00 - 1,600.00) Length: 11 Inches.
