Today's Featured Tool Description
Thurston, Horace/Providence, R.I. : Lee's Patent Chamfer Plane. Cast Iron Body. Pat. Feb. 13, 1883. Length: 10.00 Inches. An extremely rare and very well preserved example of LEE'S PATENT CHAMFER PLANE as produced by Horace Thurston of Providence, Rhode Island. This japan-finished iron body plane has the highly graphic "Church Window" pattern cap iron in a raised casting of gothic inspiration. Patented by Joseph H. Lee, of Garnerville, New York as a "stop chamfer plane" on February 13, 1883. We know from historical records that Lee, a practitioner of the patternmaker's art, then relocated to Providence, Rhode Island, where his plane was produced by one Horace Thurston, a Providence manufacturer. It has been further documented by research that, by 1886, the Lee's Stop Chamfer Plane was no longer being produced. Absolutely complete and offered without apology, this plane retains more than 90% of its black japan finish and nearly all of the original lacquer finish on the handle. The gold painted highlighting on the fences is clear and visible. Unlike previous examples of this plane that we have sold, this plane has a brass locking bracket with locking screw adjacent to the blade, most likely a corrective feature to support the blade when planing wider chamfers. A great example of a very rare and very desirable patented metallic plane. Highly recommended. (GOOD+). This item was sold on September 20, 2014 for $5,300.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions
jpg_file Lot 401. An example of HINNERSHOTZ' PATENT SMOOTH PLANE as patented and produced by Charles S. Hinnershotz of Reading, Pennsylvania. The U.S. Patent for this plane was issued on February 6, 1894, but there are no markings of any kind on the plane. The upcoming Volume 3 of Roger K. Smith's series, "Patented and Transitional Planes in America" The author was kind enough to send a copy of the section in the book detailing the Hinnershotz Patent plane, which will be forwarded to the winning bidder. This unique plane has a curved cutting iron as shown in the patent drawings. It differs from the other known examples, all of which are themselves different from each other. An extremely rare patented cast iron metallic plane of graphic form in excellent collector quality condition. Highly recommened. (GOOD+).(1,500.00 - 3,000.00) Length: 7 Inches.
