269502 Anthony Seo 2019‑12‑09 FS: The Darlings Of December List A
This year is pretty much in the books.  Where they go any more, I have 
not a clue.  Pickings have been few and far between but I've been 
managing to bring some fresh good goodies out in the world. Lots of good 
user and collector tools to behold.

PayPal is now accepted and preferred (if you use it) on all items. It's 
easier for me to ship items through there, especially First Class 
ones.   Checks and money orders are still welcome.

And remember........da more ya buy, the cheaper they fly!

First contact (that is e-mail, or phone) that says I want it gets it.  
Prices do not include shipping.  All items are shipped with Delivery 
Confirmation. Insurance, unless it is a big order or a very fragile item 
is optional. Just let me know. Also, I am shipping a lot more stuff via 
First Class mail. There will be a small amount added to the shipping 
cover the cost of the padded mailer. I don't get them for free.

Please put your name and address in the message. Saves time and email 
traffic!

Stanley No 5 1/2 Type 20 Jack Plane.  This weighs 5 lbs 15 1/2 oz 
unboxed.  This is a Type 20 and was made by Stanley between 1962 and 
1967.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The sides have some 
frosting and a couple of tiny dings.  The sole has some frosting, 
scratches, and light pitting.  The blue finish is original and close to 
perfect but there are some dots of paint that didn't want to come off.  
The lever cap is good other than some glazing. The chipbreaker is also 
good.  The blade has some light patina on the exposed areas of the front 
and some light pitting on the back, but the cutting face is clean and 
there is lots to work with.  The blade will need a sharpening.  The tote 
and knob are stained hardwood.  The original finish was a mess so they 
were stripped and waxed.  Both are solid.  All the screws work and were 
oiled.  This ain't pristine but it will get the job done.  $70.00

Stanley No 4 Type 7 Smooth Or Smoothing Plane.  This weighs 3 lbs 2 1/2 
oz unboxed.  This is a Type 7 and was made by Stanley between 1893 and 
1899.  This has the 3 patent dates on the lateral lever and the S 
casting mark on the body and the underside of the cap.  This is in fair 
condition and was cleaned.  The sides have some frosting and light 
scratches.  The sole has some deeper scratches and a bunch of deep dings 
on the front.  The mouth has a little chipping on the front edge.  The 
japanning is original and about 65% present.  The lever cap has some 
scratches from a previous cleaning and there is some chipping on the 
edge.  The chipbreaker has some frosting and a couple of lightly pitted 
spots.  The blade was replaced with a SW one at some point.  That has 
some light patina on the exposed areas and the back.  The cutting face 
has some frosting and some scuffs but nothing too bad.  There are some 
chips on the edge but the blade will need a sharpening anyways.  The 
tote and knob have some dings and wear but they are solid.  All the 
screws work and were oiled. This ain't pretty or perfect but 120 year 
old tools rarely are. $50.00

Vintage Rochester NY 7 Inch Mast Shave Draw Knife.  Measuring 17 3/4" 
overall, the blade is 7 7/16" long, 1 7/16" wide across the edge, and 
this weighs 1 lb 7 oz unboxed.  This is just marked Rochester NY 
(partial) but it's probably a D R Barton product.  This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  The steel part of the back is clean other 
than a couple of spots of light pitting and some frosting. The edge has 
a couple of dings but it's good otherwise. There are a couple of thin 
checks where the blade meets the tangs but they aren't deep and won't be 
a problem.  I did clean some mushrooming off of the top on both sides 
and there is some dinging on the upper edge.  That ain't perfect but 
it's better than it was. The handles are black walnut and original.  
They have some dings and wear, the one has some chipping around the 
lower turning, but they are solid and on tight.  This ain't pristine but 
it's a solid old tool that will get the job done.  $35.00

and it is a quality tool.  $18.00

little work.  The handle has the original finish and is good to go.  
This ain't pristine but it's pretty darn close.  $19.00

decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some light pitting on the 
one side of the blade and some deeper spots on the back.  The handle is 
nicely beveled on the edges.  That also has some light patina.  This

Just saying.  $19.00

Two AETCO Bevel Edge Firmer Chisels.  The upper one is a 1/4", measuring 
6 1/2" overall, the blade is 4 1/4" long, the lower one is a 3/4", 
measuring 8 1/4" overall, the blade is 6" long, and they weigh 8 1/4 oz 
unboxed.  The American Edge Tool Company worked in or around the 
Philadelphia PA area, from the late 1940's until the early 1960's.  
These are NOS but they were stored some place less than nice and were 
cleaned.  The 1/4" is good all around.  The 3/4" is clean for the first 
2" on the back and after that there is either some pitting or a light 
casting flaw.  The front also has some light patina as does the socket.  
They will need handles.  These ain't pristine but they will get the job 
done.  $22.00

top of the handle, the blade is 1/4" wide across the inside of the 
sweep, this is 8" overall, and this weighs 1 1/2 oz unboxed. Not signed 
as to the maker, but most of these in this style were made in England.  
This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned.  There is some 
frosting on the inside of the sweep but nothing too bad.  The outside 
does have a few spots of light pitting.  The handle has some stains and 
dings on the end.  This ain't fancy but it will get the job done.  $14.00

weighs 5 oz unboxed.  This is a Type 4 with the T trademark stamp and 
was made by Stanley between 1904 to 1909.  This is in decent condition 
and was cleaned.  The blade has some light spots of pitting but has most 
of the original finish.  The edges and corners are good.  The handle 
also has most of the original finish plus a coat of wax except on the 
brass plates.  That is good other than some light dings and wear.  The 
locking screw works and was oiled.  This ain't pristine but 100 plus 
year old tools rarely are and it will get the job done.  $18.00

Unusual Billings & Spencer Pliers Tool.  Measuring 9 1/4" long, the jaws 
are 3/16" wide and are notched top to bottom and side to side, and this 
weighs 5 oz unboxed.  This is marked Patent Pending but I can't find a 
patent for this tool.  I am guessing that it's some kind of spring clip 
tool, but for what, I cannot say, and I can't find any info on it.  This 
is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There are some spots of pitting 
on the jaws and arms. The tips of the jaws are good. The joint has a 
little wiggle. The punch tip is good.  The other handle end is 
sharpened.  This ain't minty but it sure ain't a common tool, at least 
in my travels.  $25.00

goes from 1" to 1 5/16", the one on the right goes from 1 1/4" to 2 
3/16", and they weigh 1 1/4 oz unboxed.  Eugene J. Witchger of Saginaw, 
MI was granted Pat. No. 1,860,640 on May 31, 1932 for the design of 
these tools.  These are in reasonably good condition and were cleaned.  
There is a little frosting but nothing too bad.  The heads are good and 
work smoothly.  The cross hatching on the handles and knobs have a 
little staining but are crispy to the touch.  These ain't minty but they 
will get the job done and Lufkin machinist tools are just as good as 
their Starrett and Brown & Shape cousins.  $14.00

and shaft have some pitting, the other side is good.  The tip is good to 
go.  The rosewood handle has some dings, mainly on the end, but it's

older tool.  $14.00

and 1871 city directories.  This is in decent condition and was 
cleaned.  The head has some frosting.  The face has some light wear.  
The handle looks to be original.  That has some stains, wear, and there 
is a hole at the end, probably from a strap, but it's solid and the head 
is in tight.  This ain't perfect but considering the age of the tool, 
well it sure ain't bad.  $14.00

are 2 7/16" deep, 7/8" wide at the tips, and this weighs 2 lbs 5 1/2 oz 
unboxed.  There is a name hot stamped on the tops of the jaws but it's 
too faint to make out.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  
There is some overall pitting and patina.  The jaws are good and close 
tight with the handles crossed a little. The joint has some wiggle but 
the rivet is good.  The one handle is chipped a little on the end and I

job done.  $23.00

Farriers Clinch Cutter Tool.  Measuring 8 3/4" long, the edge is 2 1/16" 
wide (straight across), and this weighs 11 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to 
the maker.  This was hand forged from an old rasp. This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  There is the usual patina but nothing too 
bad.  There is some mushrooming on the top but that's an occupational 
hazard with these guys.  The edge is fairly good.  This ain't the 
fanciest one that I have had but it is a good collectible example of the 
art of the blacksmith.  $17.00

dings and a couple of small chips around the edge.  That had some 
mushrooming cleaned off at some point.  The peen is good.  The eye is 
also good to go.  This ain't pretty or perfect but then neither are you, 
but it will get the job done. $17.00

diameter, and this weighs 10 oz unboxed.  Vlchek was a long time 
Cleveland Ohio tool maker.  This is in reasonably good condition and was 
cleaned.  There ain't much in the way of patina in the head.  The face 
and peen are good other than some light dings. The handle is old and 
might be the original one.  That has some wear, a little roughness on 
the grain, some chipping at the end, but it's solid.  The head is on 
tight, at least setting here.  This ain't minty but it sure ain't bad

unboxed.  Made in Germany.  This is in reasonably good condition and was 
cleaned.  There is some light pitting at the end of the blade on both 
sides but nothing too bad. The edge will need a little work.  This will 
need a handle, they did sell these without handles as well as with 
them.  So this will need a little work but it is a quality tool.  $14.00

end of the socket, the blade is 6" long, 1 5/8" wide across the outside 
of the sweep, this is 14 1/2" overall, and this weighs 14 oz unboxed.  
This is signed but it's obscured by the patina.  This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  There is some light pitting, frosting, and 
some deeper dots on the inside of the sweep.  The edge will need some 
work.  The back has some deeper spots up by the edge.  The socket also 
has some light pitting and I did clean a little mushrooming off of the 
outside.  The handle looks to be a new replacement.  I did not have that 
off of the tool.  This ain't pretty or perfect but these bigger ones 
sure don't show up every day.  $24.00

slightly concave on the underside. There is a little mushrooming on the 
striking end and I did zing off a few sharp spots.  There are a couple 
of small checks around the edge.  This is a neat older tool that does 
not show up very often and even less so in this kind of shape.  $18.00

Three North Bros Yankee No 3010 Straight Screwdriver Bits.  There is the 
7/32", 1/4", 9/32", and they weigh 2 1/2 oz unboxed.  These will fit the

cleaned.  There ain't nothing much patina wise to fuss about.  The tip 
on the 1/4" has a little wear but the other two are good.  The envelope 
has some staining.  These ain't pristine but they sure ain't bad.  The 
tools to have for that old Yankee screwdriver for sure!

Stanley

Stanley No 80 Cabinet Scraper Plane.  This weighs 1 lb 7 oz unboxed.  
This has the B casting mark which shows up on Stanley tools made from 
1899 until 1902.  This is in  reasonably good condition.  This was 
cleaned and refinished.  The sole has some scratches, a few dings, and 
some frosting.  The japanning was pretty much gone so that's why the 
refinish job.  The blade clamp is good other than some frosting.  This 
will need a blade.  All the screws work and were oiled.  This ain't

Stanley Rule & Level No 12 1/4 Veneer Scraper.  This weighs 2 lbs 8 1/2 
oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned. The sides are 
good other than some frosting.  The sole has a patch of light pitting 
and some frosting.  There are scratch marks on both sides of the mouth 
but it's not cracked.  The japanning is original and about 80% present.  
There is some funky on there.  The cap works and the blade angle 
adjuster works as well.  This will need a blade.  The rosewood handle 
has a chip off of the turning where the screw is, but I put it back on 
with the pretty side up.  There are some dings but it's solid.  All the 
screws work and were oiled. This ain't the prettiest but these guys are 
sure few and far between.  $100.00

Stanley No 81 Cabinet Scraper Plane.  This weighs 1 lb 12 3/4 oz 
unboxed.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned (it might not look 
like it, but trust me, it was!)  There is some overall patina. The 
plating on the tops of the handles is present but a little rough.  There 
is a small chip off of the rosewood sole, along with some scratches and 
wear, but it's not completely worn out.  The screw for the blade clamp 
and the rod for the clamp head both work and were oiled.  The screws on 
the sole also remove.  This will need a blade.  Minty picked up and 
moved out of town on this guy a while back, but it will get the job 
done.  $28.00

Stanley No 65 Boxwood Marking Gage.  This weighs 4 3/4 oz unboxed. As 
you can see, somebody drilled a hanging hole through the mark but I know 
what it is.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned. The beam has 
some stains and wear at the end where the tip is, but it's straight and 
all the rulings are readable.  The point is good and the screw works.  
The head also has some stains and wear.  The locking screw does it's 
job.  This ain't pristine but it will get the job done.  $17.00

lightly scratched user initials.  The back of the blade has some very 
light pitting and a user name as well.  THe edges and corners are good.

the edges on that are good as well.  This is true according to my 
reference square here.  This ain't minty but considering that it is at 
the least, 127 years old and probably a whole lot older than that, well 
it sure ain't bad. $30.00

finish and the same user initials and shop number marked on it.  The 
vertical machined face has a couple of light spots of pitting down by 
the slot but it's clean for the most mark and the miter face is good 
other than some staining.  This even has the scribe.  The protractor is 
a No. 490 bevel edge.  The face on that is good, the finish has a little 
wear and some funky spots. The locking screws and tabs are good on both 
and the screws for the protractor head both work.  Both of the clear 
levels are good to go.  This ain't minty but for a used tool, well it 
sure ain't bad. $65.00

are good and hold.  The bars are straight.  The inner jaws pivot on a 
screw to allow for clamping slightly less than square items.  The 
moveable jaws are good for the most part.  These ain't pretty or perfect 
but this is not a very commonly found style for this clamp.  $20.00

Other Tools & Collectibles

Emmert Turtleback Patternmaker Vise To Restore.  This is in as found, 
fresh from the shop condition.  There is a bunch of saw dust residue and 
shop patina from decades of use.  The front jaw wiggles and it looks 
like the inside of the front jaw has some chipping around the hole for 
the shaft, but I can't say for sure.  The hinge on the mounting bracket 
doesn't move but I didn't really nuts with it.  The main screw does 
work.  This is missing the tilt bracket and rod but most of the are.  
This is what it is but for the money you ain't gonna do much better.
