News from mjdtools.com World Headquarters
G reetings from Avoca, New York, where we have our April auctions and accepting bids as we move toward the closing dates on April 7th and 8th. Please follow the links below to view the items and enter your bids.

Today's Photo Montage begins with some of the many great woodworking planes that will be sold on April 8th followed by a bird's eye view of the auction we conducted in May of 2008 for the Early American Industries Association at the Holiday Inn in Albany, New York. The full color auction catalogue was bound together with the catalogue for the auction we would conduct at the Mid-West Tool Collectors Association meeting at the Waterfront Conference Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. This was our last auction for the EAIA at the Annual Meeting and the last such auction ever held at a Mid-West Tool Collectors Association Semi-Annual Meeting.

If you are not currently registered to bid in our auctions, you can register to bid by clicking HERE.

We have the First Tuesday and First Wednesday Auctions for April fully loaded and bidding is now underway. You can view the auction and enter bids beginning now and continuing until April 7, 2026 & April 8, 2026. On the last day of the sale, two lots will close and be marked as sold each minute beginning at 7:01 P.M. on each ending day and continuing until all are sold. Bidding will be open on both auctions until bidding closes as the lots begin selling at 7:01 PM on each night of the sale. You can keep bidding until the item is marked as sold. In the event that there is an increase in the bid in the last two minutes before an items sells, it will be extended for two minutes, unless the high bid amount increases again, at which point it will extend for another two minutes.

Today's Featured Tool Description
Stanley Rule & Level : Rare Comb. Knife & Screwdriver. "Stanley-Whiz". Pat. No. 1839835. Length: 9.75 Inches. An extremely rare COMBINATION KNIFE AND SCREWDRIVER by STANLEY. The designation "Stanley-Whiz" is printed in blue lettering on the handle of this ca. 1930's short-term Stanley offering. An electrician's knife folds out from the handle and would prove an asset to the user, so long as it was folded back before the user went to work on a troublesome screw and inadvertently did the "hari kiri" thing. By far the finest example of this rare tool that we have seen or offered for sale, the knife blade is in unused condition and the screwdriver handle and blade nearly as nice. Extra special and highly recommended. (FINE). This item was sold on October 17, 2009 for $750.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions
jpg_file Lot 401. An ARTFULLY CAST EARLY JOINTER PLANE by C.S. Irwin, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This ca. 1850's plane is in superb condition, retaining fully 95% of the original black japan finish. The maker imprint is clearly legible on the front knob of this extra clean plane, which retains nearly all of the original lacquer finish on both the wooden handle and knob. In addition to the exceptionally well preserved condition, which we believe to be the finest example of the work ot this obscure maker yet to come to light, the plane is marked on the sole, in script writing, apparently applied with flowing ink, the designation "Wm. S. Baird / Pittsburgh, Pa. / 1859", which firmly dates the period of manufacturing of the elusive C.S. Irwin to the period just before the outbreak of the Civil War. The fact that the buyer marked his name on the bottom of the plane, where it surely would have worn away had the plane been put to any use at all, is an indication of the pristine nature of this plane. This cast iron plane would have been produced within the period that saw the first U.S. Patent for a metallic plane issued to Hazard Knowles. Researchers have looked and looked to find any information on C.S. Irwin, but continue to come up empty. This plane is a veritable snapshot in time taken at a watershed moment in American History. Unlike nearly everything else in existence at the time, this plane has survived almost unchanged through nearly 175 years of time. Simply a great early plane. Highly Recommended. (FINE).(1,500.00 - 3,000.00) Length: 21 Inches.
