News from mjdtools.com World Headquarters
G reetings from Avoca, New York where we are busy filling out our 2026 auctions as we anticipate the endings of our First Tuesday and First Wednesday Auctions for January, which will end on January 6th and January 7th beginning at 7:01 PM each day.

We will be attending the Winter Tool Swap Meet sponsored by the A.T.T.I.C. (Antique Tools and Trades in Connecticut) Group, which will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026 at the Lakeview Lodge in Bethany, Connecticut. If you have items for inclusion in our auctions, please bring them to the meeting. Questions, call the cell phone of Our Founder at (607) 382-2389 .

Today's Photo Montage begins with some of the great tools we will be selling on January 7, 2026. The next photo shows the Martin J. Donnelly Auctions crew at the Richard Withington Estate in HIllsborough Upper Village, New Hampshire for our 2004 Antique Tool Fair. The last photo shows an important presentation made at that same auction. The photo shows Sean McKinley on the left and Our Founder on the right. Between them is the "Ditch Witch Trifecta Award", which was presented to Sean when he set a new Excavation Trifecta Record when he severed telephone, computer, sewage and electric lines using a Ditch Witch trenching machine within a period of just a few minutes, establishing a World Record for destruction in the shortest time ever. To the best of our knowledge, the record still stands.

Today's Featured Tool Description
Stanley Rule & Level No. 1: 5 1/2" Smoothing Plane. "Sweetheart" T.M.. New Cond., Orig. Box. Length: 5.50 Inches. When we picked up the antique tool collection of the late Gene Culp of Wheeling, West Virginia, his daughter shared a delightful story of how, as a young boy, Gene had taken an interest in woodworking tools. She recounted how, in 1936, when he was 13 years old, he had saved and counted his money until he had enough to get what he really wanted. He then went, not to the toy store, nor to the candy store, but to the hardware store, where he brought the Stanley No. 1 plane that he had yearned to own to the counter, counted out his money and took it home with him. We are delighted to offer this BRAND NEW UNUSED STANLEY NO. 1 PLANE marked with the "Sweetheart" trademark on the cutting iron in its nearly new pasteboard box, just the way it was in 1936. Simply a great plane. Highly recommended. From the Collection of E. Eugene "Gene" Culp, Wheeling, West Virginia. (FINE). This item was sold on March 16, 2019 for $2,900.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions
jpg_file Lot 260. An EARLY FIGURED YELLOW BIRCH HOLLOW MOLDING PLANE by I. (John) Walton, In Reading. This early plane retains its original wedge and the maker imprint is clear and legible. This plane was made by John Walton, Jr., who was born in 1710 and died in 1785, is documented as having produced plane in Reading, Massachusetts between the years 1764 and 1785. He was also the father of two sons, John III and Benjamin, both of whom became planemakers. This plane has a small "hang" hole in the back, but it is otherwise in excellent condition. (GOOD+).(250.00 - 500.00) Length: 10 Inches.
