Today's Featured Tool Description
Assorted Makers : The Steinway Family Bow Drills. F/ Steinway Founders. Early & Ecxellent. Length: 30.00 Inches. FIVE RARE AND HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BOW DRILLS, three bows and a number of bow drill bits. These tools come to us from lineal descendents of the founders of Steinway & Sons, the most prestigious piano makers in the world. Henry Steinway, born Heinrich Steinweg, emigrated with his sons from Germany in 1851, entering the cabinet making business in New York City and very soon commencing the manufacture of pianos of such quality and technical proficiency that they became the world standard. All of these tools were the property of either Henry Steinway, the founder of the company, or his son, also Henry Steinway, who held many of the patents obtained by the Steinway Company in the last half of the Nineteenth Century. One of the bows, the steel-shaft example, is marked with the designation "H. Steinway" on the handle, but there are no other identifying owner marks on the tools. Two of the bow drills are of European origin, including examples by R. Zacharias/Leipzig and G. Munch/Zuffenhause. Three others are of adistinctly American pattern, including two having IVORY spools. One of the ivory spool drills is marked "A. M'f'g. Co." and the others are not marked with maker names. All of the tools show signs of normal wear that would accrue through one hundred fifty years, but all are in clean and sound condition. A superb set of historically important tools that capture within them the promise and potential for rewards that led so many to move half a world away in pursuit of the American Dream. Highly recommended. (GOOD+). This item was sold on April 19, 2008 for $1,800.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions
jpg_file Lot 375. An example of MORRIS' PATENT COMBINATION "BENCH PLANE" by the Sandusky Tool Company, Sandusky, Ohio. This innovative "scissor fence" plow was patented on March 21, 1871 by Ellis H. Morris of Canton, Ohio. Writing in Patented "Transitional and Metallic Planes in America", author Roger K. Smith notes that it is uncertain who manufactured these planes; however, the presence of a Sandusky cutting iron and the fact that the other Morris Patent planes were made by Sandusky makes it very likely that they were produced by that maker. This plane retains its original beech handle and wedge and it is absent any chips, cracks or other apologies. A rare early patent plow plane in excellent collector quality condition. (GOOD+).(600.00 - 1,200.00) Length: 10 Inches.
