This is the second run of goods for January.  We are in a temporary 
"warm up" weather wise but that ain't gonna last.  Some new and some old 
in the list.

PayPal is now accepted and preferred (if you use it) on all items.   On 
items less than $25 (not including shipping) I would appreciate you 
using the Send Money to Family & Friends option so I don't get killed 
with the fees but that is your call. Checks and money orders are still 
welcome, it just seems that 1st Class letters seem to be taking forever 
to get from there to here.

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. 
Oldtools terms, except on items and orders over $100, if I don't know ya 
or haven't done business in the past (and my records good way back..) 
then it's pre-pay.  I do take PayPal (except as noted).  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!

H Chapin Union Factory No 208 Ogee Molding Plane.  The cut is 1 3/8" 
wide and this weighs 1 lb 9 3/4 oz unboxed.  This is in good condition 
and the only cleaning was to take some rust off the iron.  Note: this is 
straight, any bending you see is because of camera lens distortion.  The 
body is good other than a few stains.  There are a few knotholes and 
some pencil marks on the top.  The sole is also good other that a little 
rust staining behind the mouth.  The mouth is tight and was never messed 
with.  The wedge has a couple of light dings on the finial but nothing 
too bad.  The iron is clean on the cutting face other than a few very 
light and small spots.  I did take a little bit of mushrooming off of 
the end of the tang.  I have to say, that molding planes of this age 
rarely show up in this kind of shape any more.  $45.00

Forsyth Mfg Pat 1897 Bicycle Adjustable Spanner Wrench.  Measuring 3 
7/8" long and this weighs 1 oz unboxed.  Herbert B. Rose of Buffalo, NY 
was granted Pat. No. 593,543 on Nov. 9, 1897 for the design of this tool 
which was made by the Forsyth Manufacturing Company also of Buffalo, NY. 
  The full patent title is "Improved Device For Adjusting The Cones of 
Ball-Bearings and Other Analogous Purposes"  How's that for a can of 
beans eh?  This is in reasonably good condition for being at the least 
100 years old and was cleaned.  There is a little patina on the arms but 
nothing too bad.  The tips are good.  The one hole has a crack on the 
side that has been there since this was made, but the tip is in tight. 
The joint is good as well.  This is a neat little tool to say the least. 
  $15.00

Early Hand Forged Double Face Stone Mason Hammer Head.  Measuring 4 3/8" 
long, the faces are 2 3/16" high, 1 1/8" wide (across the centers), and 
this weighs 2 lbs 13 1/4 oz unboxed.  There is a star touchmark on the 
top and a weight mark on the underside.  I was told by the guy I got 
this off of, that he brought it back from England where he was working 
as as stone mason.  This is in reasonably good condition for the age and 
use and was cleaned.  There is a little patina but then working stone 
ain't exactly an indoor sport.  The faces have some light pitting and 
dings but still have plenty of life left in them.  The punched eye is 
good to go.  This style of hammer does not show up very often over here.

Small Perfect Handle Style Screwdriver.  Measuring 4 7/8" long, the tip 
is a little under 1/4" wide, and this weighs 1 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not 
signed as to the maker, it is just marked Germany where most of these 
were made.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The blade was 
dressed at some point but it's good to go.  The shaft and frame have 
some staining but nothing too bad patina wise.  The handle scales have 
some dings and stains.  They are on tight.  I did take a whisker of 
mushrooming off the end.  This ain't minty but as these guys go, well it 
sure ain't bad either.  $18.00

sides.  The tip was dressed recently and is good to go.  The handle has 
some dings and stains but retains most of the original finish.  This

diameter, and this weighs 1 lb 7 3/4 oz unboxed.  This is in reasonably 
good condition and was cleaned.  There is some wear to the finish on the 
head but most of it is there.  The face has some light dings and the 
peen is good.  The handle also has the original finish.  There are some 
dings and tiny bits of paint but nothing too bad.  The head wiggles a 
touch but it's not going any where.  This ain't pristine but it sure 
ain't bad either.  $26.00

across), the edge is 2 5/8" wide, the steel bit is 1 1/8" deep at the 
center, 1 1/4" at the ends, and this weighs 1 lb 12 1/2  oz unboxed. 
Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition. Somebody else 
ran it through a glass beader, I took some more recent patina off of the 
tool.  There is some overall light pitting.  The steel bit has some 
spots of pitting but it's clean for the most part.  The edge is pretty 
banged up and this will need a sharpening.  I took some sharp 
mushrooming off of the hammer poll, that ain't perfect but it's better 
than it was.  The eye has a couple of small checks at the lower end but 
they don't travel too far inside.  Pretty and perfect left town on this 
guy a while ago but these guys sure don't show up very often.  $28.00

from the edge to the end of the socket, the blade is 5 7/8" long, and 
this weighs 7 1/4 oz unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition and

but nothing too bad.  The edge does have a few chips and will need a 
little work.  The sides and top have some staining and a little patina 
as well.  The socket has some pitting and I did take some mushrooming 
off of the outside and inside.  That ain't perfect but it's better than 
it was.  This will need a handle, I don't have any here that would fit. 
This ain't minty but it is a quality tool.  $17.00

3/4", 1", and this all weighs 1 lb 3 1/2 oz unboxed.  These are NOS 
(that's New Old Stock) or pretty darn close.  They don't show any wear 
at all, just some dings and what have you from being banged around for 
the past 20 some years since AMT went out of business.  The backs still 
have the protective coating on them.  The pretty red case is good other 
than a few bits of that and this.  These ain't top of the line but you 
sure ain't gonna get much better for this kind of money.  $22.00

faint but it can be read.  This is in reasonably good condition and was 
cleaned.  The back of the blade has some small spots and some frosting 
but nothing that can't be worked out as this is sharpened.  The rest of 
the blade also has a few spots and some staining.  I did clean some 
mushrooming off of the end of the socket, that ain't perfect but it's 
better than it was.  The handle is a replacement.  That has some 
staining and dings but it will do the job. $18.00

Original .41 Cal Black Powder Flintlock Round Ball Bullet Mold. 
Measuring 4 3/8" long, the cavities are .410 in diameter according to my 
micrometer here, and this weighs 1 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the 
maker.  This is in decent condition for being well over 100 years old 
and was cleaned.  There is some overall light pitting and patina.  The 
cavities have some light crusty inside but that will cook off as this is 
heated.  There is a whisker of light showing through when this is 
closed.  The edges of the sprue cutter will need a little work with a 
file.  This ain't minty but I sure ain't been seeing too many of these 
guys around of late.  $24.00

sure don't show up very often.  $14.00

condition and was cleaned.  There is some overall light patina but 
nothing too bad.  There are user initials on both sides of the shaft.

need a sharpening.  The tang has some pitting and some dings on the

this weighs 4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  The beam is 
boxwood and the head looks to be beech.  This is in decent condition and 
was cleaned.  The beam has some staining and wear and somebody added a 
series of small nails to use this as a mortising gage.  I got one of 
them out but the rest refused to move and those I filed down and tapped 
in.  The blade is good and there is lots to work with but it will need a 
sharpening.  The tip of the one brass wedge is broken off but it does 
the job.  The head has some staining and wear and there is a spot on the 
front that was carved out for some reason and a small knot hole on the 
back.  The locking screw is slow to move but it does hold.  The head 
travels the full distance of the beam.  This ain't pretty or perfect but 
it will get the job done.  $19.00

cleaned.  The rule is marked in 16ths and 32nds on the one side and 
1/8ths and 16ths on the other side.  The rule has some frosted spots but 
nothing too bad patina wise.  The edges have a few light dings and the 
corners have a little wear but all the rulings are readable.  The head 
has some wear to the finish.  The machined surfaces have some frosting 
as well.  The level vial is good and the scribe is MIA.  The locking

shaving sharp but it's not too bad.  The handle is oak.  That has a pair 
of pins along side the tang hole.  The tang is bent over at the end but

at all around these here parts.  $18.00

hard rubber handle has some spots and dings, but that is good and it's 
clear all the way through.  This ain't minty but it sure ain't bad 
either.  $24.00

Early Hand Carved Oak Coach Makers Double Router Plane.  Measuring 13 
7/16" long, the cut on the one blade is 1/4" across the edge, the other 
is 7/16", and this weighs 6 1/2 oz unboxed.  Marked B B on the back 
which I suspect to be the maker.  This is in decent condition and was 
cleaned.  The body has some dings and stains but it is solid.  The 
blades have some light patina going and both will need a sharpening. 
The wider one was made from an old file.  The one wedge is patially 
broken and would need replacing if you were going to use this guy. 
These guys sure ain't been showing up much at all, at least around these 
here parts.  $25.00

Stanley No 12 Type 2 10 Inch Improved Try Square.  This weighs 14 oz 
unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned.  The 
blade has a few scratches and a couple of light spots of pitting but 
it's clean for the most part.  The handle is good and the machined 
surfaces are clean.  The plating has a little funky and staining but 
almost all of it is there.  This looks to be true but if you want .001 
accuracy, well go buy a Starrett.  This ain't minty but it's better than 
95% pf these guys that I see out in the wilds and these bigger ones sure 
don't show up very often.  $24.00

Early Hand Forged Wrought Iron Wing Compass Or Divider.  Measuring 9 
1/2" from the tips to the top of the joint and this weighs 10 oz 
unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition and 
was cleaned.  There is the usual patina but nothing too bad overall. 
The lap joint is good and holds position.  This will need a screw, it 
looks like someone drilled out the original hole and tapped it all the 
way through but I don't have anything that would do this justice.  The 
tips are good.  There is a thin crack on one side of the opening when 
the wing is fixed too, but that's doesn't go all the way around and the 
wing doesn't move.  This ain't perfect but these older ones rarely are. 
$20.00

General No 840 Doweling Jig.  This all weighs 2 lbs 9 1/2 oz unboxed. 
This has the original box and the auger bit depth stop.  This is in used 
but good condition and was not cleaned.  There is a little wear to the 
finish on the top of the wheel but the holes are all good.  The rest of 
the tool is good.  All the screws work.  The auger bit depth stop is 
good as well.  The box is in fair condition and I did tape up the base 
to keep it together.  But it ain't like you are going to be buying this 
just for a pretty box, eh?  This is a good solid working tool to say the 
least.  $23.00

Stanley No 60 1 1/2 Inch Paring Or Bench Chisel.  Measuring 4 7/16" from 
the edge to the top of the handle, the blade is 2 3/4" long, this is 8 
1/16" overall, and this weighs 8 1/4 oz unboxed.  This is in reasonably 
good condition and was cleaned.  The back is good.  The top has some 
staining and a few light spots of pitting.  The edge is fairly sharp but 
there are a few tiny dings.  The handle has little wear and a wee bit of 
paint on the back.  The plating on the striking button is a memory but 
it's not too bad otherwise.  This ain't pristine but these wider ones 
sure ain't been showing up much of late.  $23.00

Early User Crafted Mortising Gage Or Gauge.  The one arm is 4 1/2" long, 
the other is 4 3/8", the head is 2 3/8" by 2 1/8", 1 1/16" thick, and 
this weighs  3 1/2  oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is 
made of beech.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There are 
some stains on the arms and head, and some wear on the arms by the 
points.  The points are worn, the one will leave a mark, the other one 
is dull.  This had points at the other end of the beam at some point in 
history.  The beams have some dings from the screw.  The locking screw 
works.  This ain't fancy or pretty but it is a neat early tool.  $18.00

Stanley No 66 Type 1 Hand Beader To Restore.  This weighs 14 1/2 oz 
unboxed.  Justus A. Traut of New Britain, CT was granted Pat. No. 
335,856 on Feb. 9, 1886 for the design of the fence used on this tool. 
This is in decent condition and was cleaned by someone else who sprayed 
it with the shiny stuff.  The japanning is pretty much a memory.  The 
sole has some frosting and scratches.  Somebody widened the mouth to 
allow for a wider blade.  There also is a chip on the front of the 
mouth.   The clamp and screw are good.  This will need the fence and 
screw but those ain't that hard to make.  This is what it is but you 
ain't gonna get much more for this kind of money.  $22.00

Early Hand Forged Wrought Iron Conestoga Wagon Bucket Hook.  Measuring 5 
3/8" long and this weighs 9 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker. 
  This is in decent condition and was cleaned by someone else.  It kinda 
looks like they either soaked it in something or hit it with the glass 
beader  Sigh.  There is some patina but that comes with the age of the 
item.  There is the usual wear on the insides of the hooks and the one 
lip has a chip off the side but most of it is there.  These guys sure 
ain't been showing up much around these here parts.  $17.00

Old C S Osborne 7/8 Inch Leather Punch.  Measuring 5 1/16" and this 
weighs 11 3/4 oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned. 
There are some scuffs on the head from being sharpened.  The edge is a 
little uneven but it feels sharp to the touch.  The finish has some 
wear.  The striking end is flared and looks like it was dressed at some 
point but there are no cracks that I can see.  This ain't pristine but 
it's an old one for sure.  $15.00

Two Hand Forged 4 Inch Cabinet Makers Pinch Dogs.  Measuring 4 1/16" and 
4 1/8" across the tips, 2 11/16" high, and they weigh 4 3/4 oz unboxed. 
Not signed as to the maker.  These are in decent condition and were 
cleaned.  There ain't much patina to fuss about.  The tips are bent a 
little and will need a little sharpening but I'll leave that in your 
capable hands.  The tops are good with little in the way of dings.  This 
ain't perfect but these bigger ones sure ain't been showing up much at 
all.   $16.00

Interesting Metal Body Grooving Plane.  Measuring 6 5/8" long, 2 3/8" 
high at the rear, the cut is 1/4" across, and this weighs 5 3/4 oz 
unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in decent condition and 
was not cleaned.  My guess is that this was user crafted.  There is some 
light patina overall.  The front eye screw locks down the blade, the 
back screw is to set the depth of the cut.  This will need a blade but 
that won't take too much cussing and kicking.  This ain't fancy but it 
is a neat tool to say the least.  $24.00

Buck Bros 1 5/8 Inch Wood Plane Iron.  Measuring 7 7/16" long, 1 5/8" 
wide across the edge, and this weighs 6 1/2 oz unboxed.  This is in 
decent condition and was cleaned.  There is the usual patina on the iron 
body but the top was never hammered on.  The steel cutting face has some 
light rust etching and some pin-point pitting but nothing too bad and 
there is lots to work with.  This would make a good scrub plane iron but 
it's not a common size for a tapered iron in any case.  $17.00

Uncommon Stanley Rosewood No 85 1/2 Panel Marking Gauge Or Gage.  The 
beam is 20 1/2" long, the head is 7" wide, and this weighs 12 1/4 oz 
unboxed.  This isn't signed but Stanley wasn't real big on marking their 
rosewood gauges.  This is in good condition and was cleaned.  The beam 
has some light dings and stains and there is a well done hanging hole at 
the end so you won't have to drill one yourself.  The head is good other 
than user initials stamped on the front.  The point screw works and the 
point does remove.  That is bent a little but the tip is good.  The 
locking screw on the head does it's job.  The brass shoe between the 
head and the beam is a correct replacement.  This ain't pristine but it 
sure ain't bad and these guys do not show up very often.  $100.00

Consolidated Tool Works No 310 10 Inch Sweep Brace.  Measuring 14 1/8" 
long and this weighs 2 lbs 6 1/2 oz unboxed.  The Consolidated Tool 
Works was in business from 1890 until the 1920's which puts this guy in 
the 100 year old plus category.  This is in decent condition and was 
cleaned.  There is some light pitting on the ratchet housing, the frame 
is fairly clean.  The chuck shell has some wear but the marks are 
readable.  The jaws are good, they never had a spring.  The ratchet 
works in both directions and the locked position.  The grip is good 
other than a few tiny dings and has most of the original finish.  The 
grip has some wear and there are few bits of paint there and here.  The 
screws look to be replacements.  I did put some oil down inside the 
collar.  There is some play on the shaft.  This ain't pristine but I 
sure ain't seen too many of these guys that are.  $24.00

Five Newton Double End Slim Taper 8 Inch Files.  They are 8 1/16" long, 
9/32" across the flat at the center, and they weigh 5 1/2 oz unboxed. 
The Newton File Co was a New Jersey based maker.  These are NOS (New Old 
Stock) but they have some funky on them them from the paper wrapper and 
some light rust spots.  But they still are sharp.  They ain't pretty or 
perfect but you sure ain't gonna walk into the local hardware store and 
buy files of this quality for this kind of money.  $20.00

Vintage 3 oz Ball Peen Hammer Head.  Measuring 2 5/16" long, the face is 
11/16" in diameter, the peen is 9/16" in diameter, and this weighs 3 oz 
unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in reasonably good 
condition and was cleaned.  There ain't much in the way of patina other 
than some light dings on the sides of the eye.  The face also has some 
light dings and a hint of mushrooming on the edge.  The peen is good. 
The eye is good to go as well.  Drop this guy on a handle and it's ready 
to work.  $16.00

18th Century Hand Forged Compass Or Divider.  Measuring 6 5/8" long and 
this weighs 3 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in 
reasonably good condition and was cleaned.  There are a few spots of 
pitting by the head on the back but this is good for the most part.  The 
5 finger (3+2) joint is good and holds position.  That joint was used on 
better quality tools.  The arms are bent inward, why I can't say for 
sure, except that somebody must have needed it like this.  Stuff 
happens.  This ain't minty but these guys sure are getting few and far 
between, at least round here.  $28.00
