Parts For Trade
I've been tripping over these boxes of parts for
a few months now, so I thought I'd update the page with what's left,
what's new. I sorted it into piles of stuff that looked kinda similar,
threw out the stuff that was really past its prime, and here's some of the
leftovers. Click the pic to get an even bigger pic so you can see the
rust up close....
I've got some blades (the "tools of the trade" coffee cup in the upper left corner is not for sale/trade.)
This little stack includes a Stanley 2-1/8" with cap, ground down to 2"
on the business end; An Ohio Tool Co 2-1/4" (the cutter is about dead,
but the cap is good), a 1-7/8" long with hexagonal instead of round
hole, Revonoc 2-1/8", A nice Alex Mathieson 2-1/8", the cap on this one
says Mathieson and Sons and is the one star inside a crescent moon. I
hear that's good. There's a 2" Keen Kutter. The non-business end is
ugly but I can see that the logo is not the newer one that everyone is
used to seeing. Moving on - a 2" cap (I saw the cutter was broken after
I took the pic), Master Mechanic Bever Hardware 2", 2-3/16" tapered and
all I can make out of the logo is that it looks like two crossed keys
or flowers., True Value 2", and unknown 2-1/8".Most of the top row are tapered blades.
That's it. Except for the block plane cutters. They are all a shade over 1-1/2" and include: No name flat (no grooves, no slots), Stanley (V-TM) with notches on the back and slot down the middle, another Stanley just like the last, and another but this one has the J-style TM (so its at least 101 years old!) And finally there's the Everkeen that is flat.
Now the 2nd pile:
But wait, there's more! Order now - Operators are standing by!

Now the 2nd pile:
That
pile of knobs are all from transitionals, but a quick touch of the
brace/auger and they will fit on a metal plane. Those 110 style lever
caps - all but one are 1-5/8" wide, the one is just 1.5" wide. One is
marked 386 on the back, another is a B casting, another is unmarked but
I know its Stanley, rest are knockoffs. Then there are two of the other
style lever caps (right about the middle of the pic) One is unmarked,
the other says 307/306 on the back. There are a couple of
laterals, a depth adjustment, front metal knob etc. I've also got some
of those adjustable front plates . Those are all different sizes so if
your block plane is missing one you'll need to measure carefully to
find one to fit. And of course I've got some more cutters - a thin
little 1-3/8" one with a keyhole slot, Made in Western Germany 1-9/16"
wide with the 3 rectangle holes above the slot, unmarked 1-5/8" with 3
oval/rectangle holes above the slot, unmarked 1-58" with just a round
hole in the middle, Stanley 1-5/8" V trademark flat (no slots, holes,
ridges etc.)
But wait, there's more! Order now - Operators are standing by!
Those
frogs are from transitionals and are trash - but I've taken off a few
laterals for replacing lost ones. That lever cap in the upper left is
for that one Stanley steel block plane, I forget the model #. The
middle looks like most of a nice 9-1/2 block plane, but it's not so
nice - busted in 3 places and badly brazed together. But the parts you
see are still available. Then there's just some laterals, knob/tote
screws etc. The two frames in the right are a reminder that I've got a
small pile of transitionals minus the wood. So if you want to build
your own and have a nice chunk of wood, I might have the metal parts
you need.
Had some time, took another pic of a few more parts:
Had some time, took another pic of a few more parts:
The
lever caps are all 2", the cutters with caps are Sargent VBM 2", a
tapered Auburn 2-1/4", a tapered Sargent 2-1/4", and a 2" Stanley. And
then there's a heavy 2-1/4" cap with no cutter.
