361228
and 22$ for the planes and 2$ for the cut down 8pt.
361229
The cap and iron from the jointer plane, the coffin has a Stanley SW iron and the body is stamped Perth

[Andrew Pitonyak]

Nice score, but for some reason, this looks familiar. :D

[Rick Malakoff]

Thanks, had internet issues until today and no way to post them.

[Andrew Pitonyak]

OK, I am slow; I just realized that the saw was "cut down", as you indeed stated. I had considered cutting one down, but I was never sure how to do it and did not know if that would affect the temper.

[Rick Malakoff]

Andrew
I don't know how it was cut, but it works real well and theirs know way to know about the temper.
Rick

I just cut one saw down a little while back. Took about 4" off a saw. I ground a "line" across the plate where I want it to be "cut" . Then hold the smaller part in the vise right at the line. Then snap the piece off. A bit of CAREFUL work with the grinder again, to refine the cut end. Used plenty of water to dunk the area in.

Wear gloves when you go to snap the line.....teeth tend to be sharp....

[Rick Malakoff]

Thanks Steven, there you go Andrew expert advice form the guy in the basement!:D

[Andrew Pitonyak]

Steve, he can do anything.....

Score a line then snap it. Sound advice.

[Rick Malakoff]

This was from yesterday, some weekends I go on Saturday or Sunday, any how this is what I found.
Diston D8 and a Warranted Superior
Atlas Tool Co square
6C 5, 4 and a Keen Kutter adj throat
Yankee North Bros. 130A also North Bros. eggbeater 1431A
Millers fall 10' brace No. 732
And the weird plane with just a patent number,
I looked it up once when I found the first one.

[Mike Baker 2]

Nice!
I have a Warranted Superior similar to that one I need to restore.

[steven c newman]

362013
Shelton #4?
362014
Way too fragile for me,,sold mine....

[Rick Malakoff]

Thanks Steven, was waiting for a rainy day to clean them up, but don't expect any rain till November.

Did you use the one you had?
Rick

[steven c newman]

They'd work. There is a very fragile tab to adjust the iron with.......they will break IF you try to adjust without loosening the cap iron bolt.

[Jim Koepke]

I think one of my neighbors has one of those. Is the Shelton a single iron plane?

The blade on my neighbor's plane didn't seem to hold an edge and it was rather chattery.

[Rick Malakoff]

Jim, the 2 that I have came along with some other planes as a package and reduced the cost of the ones I wanted so not much invested. When you say single iron you mean no chip breaker, correct. I might put them up for sale or just re purpose the furniture as the knob and tote are in very good shape.
Rick

[steven c newman]

362097
Trying to remember IF they had a chipbreaker..
362098
Nope, guess not. More like an oversized block plane...

[Rick Malakoff]

Thanks Steven,
Nice shavings mabey I'll clean one up and try it

[Rick Malakoff]

This is what I call a good day at the swap meet,

Stanley #4 Type 17
Stanley #5 Type 8
No Name #3 red crinkle cote on the lever cap DHP in a diamond on the iron
No Name #3 frog cast with the base Made in USA on the iron
362729

[Mike Baker 2]

Nice.find!

[Rick Malakoff]

Thanks Mike

This is what I found on ebay about the #3 on the right
But I think you have to make it bigger to read
362730

[steven c newman]

Far right #3...Stanley Defiance. Early models.....later ones were more like Handyman plane. I think this is from the 1930s era.

Diamond Edge for the other? lateral level doesn't look like a Millers Falls style. Maybe one from Estes?

[Mike Baker 2]

Never seen a Defiance. I have one of the Handyman #4s. Decent plane, but nothing like the earlier Stanleys. Sharp blade solves a lot of ills with a plane,I've heard of the Eclipse somewhere.

[Rick Malakoff]

Thanks Steven.

Found this old thread

[Jim Koepke]

Good find Rick, I think the #5 is later than a type 8. Bailey wasn't added to the casting until type 9. Unless you somehow found a rare prototype.

jtk

[Rick Malakoff]

Thanks Jim and your right the flow cart I used did nit mention Bailey in the casting but it did mention patent dates on the lateral adjuster, so Type 9 it is and I wont complain for 15 bucks!

[Jim Koepke]

Thanks Jim and your right the flow cart I used did nit mention Bailey in the casting but it did mention patent dates on the lateral adjuster, so Type 9 it is and I wont complain for 15 bucks!

Some of the early type 9 planes still have a patent date on the adjusters. They should also have two '02 patent dates on the base casting.

Here is an old post of mine that is likely just as confusing and erroneous as anything else out there:

http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=140103&d=1264735941&thumb=1This the same frog that I have on my plane.
It is my understanding that when they came out with a new type the used all the parts that fit from inventory.

[Rick Malakoff]

This stuff was from yesterdays trip.
363058
Stanley #5C Type 19
Craftsman #4 size W/plastic furniture and corrugated sides.
Craftsman #3 size wooden furniture iron was never used but the chip breaker was used in it's place!
Cost of the 3 planes 20$
Yankee 130A and the Dunlap/Germany 2 for 5$
Everything else was a buck each.

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July
Rick

[Mike Baker 2]

The 5C is my favorite of the planes I own. Nice finds.

[Rick Malakoff]

Slim Pickins this weekend, but well worth the hunt.
O V B No. 82 cleaned it a little just to see the etch, no name gents saw Sorby corner chisel and nicely made Chinese caliper all for 10$.
363648

[Rick Malakoff]

I saw these when I first got there and decided if he still had them on the way out I'd make an offer and they followed me home.
363964Marked C.T. CO there is a circle logo but I'm unable to make out what.

[Rick Malakoff]

Nothing really exciting but I just couldn't pass up the laminate trimmer NIB for 10$, still have the one I bought in 1986 and have not used since 1990, but I do plug it in to see if still works. The molding plane is from Auburn Tool Auburn NY and they have been out of business for 120 years.

[Rick Malakoff]

Well it's been some time since there was anything god to post...that all changed today. The crate that the planes were in had 16 profiles including a double iron
1 1/2'' half round that was in great shape actually all were good and sharp, but reality took hold and I picked the ones that I would use.
365949 2 rusty #4's late model Stanley made in England with black plastic furniture 3$ Hercules/Sargent 1$,
the 4 wooden planes, 1/2'' skewed, 1'' skewed, 1 3/4'' smoother, 1 1/4'' scrub and the 18'' Disston D-20 all for 50$.
Mitutoyo metric 6'' 5$ and the files and bits were a buck each.

[Rick Malakoff]

Got it cleaned and it appears to be a Disston 18'' D20 with 11 TPI.
366071
The handle has a crack but it's in great condition, clean and sharp so I'm going to leave as is.

[Rick Malakoff]

Found these today missing the 1'' and appear to be hand forged.
Mephisto Tool Co. Hudson NY.
369265
Cost me 8$.
