RARE TOOLS

Stanley 193A
Picture 1
Picture 2

Stanley #193A Fiberboard Plane; identical to the '193' except the plane is equipped to use razor blade type cutters. The 193A is identical to the No. 193 except it came with three other attachments: ship lap cut, circular groove and bevel cutter holder. Originally these were used to cut and ornament fiber board's such as celotex, beaverboard and masonite. Curious thing about this gizmo plane is that the plane is clearly marked No. 193 as opposed to 193A, but it does have the extra attachments and it seems to be designed for a thin razor type blade. I originally had a the razor blades wrapped up in tape and in a box, but as I was carrying this thing on the plane the guard thought I was going to quickly put this thing together and use it as a weapon so he took them from me. They pretty much looked like utility knife blades with some different angles on some. Today they are a mostly a collector's tool I would guess. So if you have a need to make bevel edge battens, ship lap joints and decorative designs such as squares, circles and miter cuts, or you're one of those people who like gadgets, you need one of these.

5/8" Dado plane with movable depth adjuster. It appears to be made by B. Conigrave but there are many names stamped in the end so I can't be sure.

Nosing moulding Plane 7/8, sometimes called Torus bead & cove, Belection, Bilection, nosing Bilection or as a Belection with quirk. It was made by T.Tileston on Front Street in Boston Mass. This is a very ornate shape. I've seen this on the top of base molding that goes around the floor to cover the expansion gap of the flooring. It has a single boxing with a small chip at the heal of the plane with one as well on the body in the same area; it will not affect function.

Grecian ogee with bevel. Made by 'P. Chapin Maker Balt.' Which by Pollak's book is Philip Chapin, brother of Hermon Stamped 7/8 and will make a 2" wide profile shape. This is a big plane it is 3 1/4" wide X 12" long; the plane is big enough that an assist hole was put through the front end (I wouldn't really want to be the apprentice supplying the pulling power on this all day). To me it looks like the shape you would use to make a stair handrail. I has boxing on each side which is straight and in good shape. The blade looks to have some light pitting so a good sharpening job would be in order. It is also missing the tip of the tote, otherwise in sturdy condition.

MISCELLANEOUS TOOLS

Stanley #60 Spokeshave Picture 1
Picture 2

Double Cutter Spoke Shave. My guess is that this is a Stanley #60, the blades are marked Stanley but there is only a patent date on the cast iron body. It would be one of the earlier one because the hold down bar is cast as opposed to the later models having a flat steel bar.
