Today's Featured Tool Description

Unmarked : Scale Model Of Cranberry Sorting. From Cape Cod, Mass.. Mechanically Perfect. Length: 24.00 Inches. A precision WORKING SCALE MODEL OF A CRANBERRY SORTING MACHINE. Originally purchased on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, this mechanically perfect device is similar to many such devices for which United States Patents were issued in the Nineteenth Century. Of too large a size to be a patent model, this working model would have been used by a salesman to illustrate the features of the machine to prospective buyers without the necessity of bringing them to the full scale machine or the machine to them. It has been finely crafted and is comprised of dozens of individual parts fashioned from walnut, brass and steel. A museum quality model in museum quality condition. From the Collection of Norton K. "Bud" Brown. (FINE). This item was sold on September 19, 2009 for $1,000.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions

jpg_file Lot 398. A SPECTACULAR SET OF TEN ROSEWOOD, BOXWOOD AND EBONY SHIPWRIGHTS PLANES, all marked on the toe with the name of the original owner and likely maker, one "S.G. Mc L. All are fashioned from exotic woods and most are ornamented with bone inlay. These planes were part of the collection of Milt Bacheller of Plainville, Massachusetts, a noted researcher of tools, but he was unable to determine the owner and likely maker of these planes. However, an Ancestry.com search of common Scottish names that begin with the letters "McL" found one Stephen G. McLeod, born in Nova Scotia, and residing in Chelsea, Massachusetts in the 1870's and 1880's. One of the largest and oldest ship building enterprises in the United States, the Fitzgerald Shipyard, founded in 1631 and still in operation today, is located in Chelsea, Massachusetts in the North Eastern part of what is now the City of Boston, Massachusetts. According to U.S. Census records, Stephen G. McLeon was variously listed as a "Carpenter" and "Ship Builder" and his homewas only two blocks walking distance from the Fitzgerald Shipyard. A superb set of planes in top condition that have only begun to reveal their hidden secrets. Highly Recommended. From the Collection of Milt Bacheller, Plainville, Massachusetts. (FINE).(800.00 - 1,600.00) Length: 10 Inches.
