The second run of goods for September. Lots of fresh goods to peruse so grab them quick. 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. 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. 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 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 http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/stanley810901a.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/stanley810901b.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/stanley810901c.jpg Early Hand Forged Grubbing Hoe Head.

This is in decent condition and was cleaned. There is some overall pitting and patina but nothing out of the ordinary for a tool of this age. The edge of the blade has some wear and chipping. There is a bubble or something in the center of the blade but it's not cracked. The tines also have some wear but are fairly good. The square eye has some crusty inside but it's solid with no cracks. This ain't no picture of perfection but working tools rarely are. $20.00 http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/hfhoe0901a.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/hfhoe0901b.jpg Early Iron Ball Brace.

This is in decent condition and was not cleaned other than to take a few bits of paint off of the pad. There is some some patina on the frame. The chuck is good with no cracks that I can see and the screw works. The ball grip has some wear but it's solid (and it does not look to have been replaced, there are no seams at all on it.) The grip has some dings and stains and a few tiny bits of paint down in the grain. Both spin freely. This ain't the fanciest one of these guys that I have had but it does have some serious age to it. $30.00 http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/earlybrace0901a.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/earlybrace0901b.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/earlybrace0901c.jpg Hand Forged Early Hammer & Tapered Reamer.

There is a little funky on the inside of the body. The outer edges ain't pretty but they aren't bad. The brass cam lever that locks this to the rule works. This ain't minty but these guys do not show up very often, at least around here. $30.00 http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/rulesquare0901a.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/sept/rulesquare0901b.jpg Stanley No 34 Type 2 4 Inch Machinist Eclipse Level.

The square head has some wear to the 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 http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/machinisttool0820a.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/machinisttool0820b.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/machinisttool0820c.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/machinisttool0820d.jpg Dunlap 8 Inch Draw Knife Or Drawknife.

The jaws are good and close up tight and flush. The edges of the jaws aren't flat but that's due to the cross hatching on the faces. The "through the center" joint is good with almost no play. This originally had a spring to open the jaws, but like a lot of them that I see, that was removed. Also the clamp for the arms is MIA. This ain't pristine but it sure ain't bad and it is a quality tool. $16.00 http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/pliers0802a.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/pliers0802b.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/pliers0802c.jpg Large Hand Forged Wood Spokeshave Spoke Shave Blade.

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. This is PICKUP only here at my shop here in Nesquehoning PA. $265.00 http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/vise0801a.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/vise0801b.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/vise0801c.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/vise0801d.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/vise0801e.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/vise0801f.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/aug/vise0801g.jpg --------------------------------------------- "I married Miss Right.

Gentle Ones,Jeff was an original subscriber to this list. Like most of the old- timers, I relished reading every missive from Jeff. His relentless cross- cultural shout-outs were informative, friendly, and in this day-and-age of digital disconnect, comforting. I will always remember that it was here that I learned that shellac is dissolved in methylated spirits. I’ll be tipping a glass to Jeff on 10/11 (11 October, Richard).
