Little used Robinson rosewood and brass mortice
gauge. Small chip to stem-end. $ 40 |
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
446 |
Outstanding solid boxwood and brass mortice gauge.
One stress crack on top of fence. Pins are almost full. Surly
professionally made but I can't find a maker's mark. Best one out of
a box of one hundred. $ 110 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
445 |
Well made Famos (German?) double stemmed
marking gauge with metric scales. Probably the most useful of the
lot. $ 30 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
444 |
Stanley 77 rosewood and brass marking and mortice
gauge. All pins are good. Some minor bruising to edges. $ 70
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
443 |
Unnamed ebony and brass slitting gauge. Unfortunately
there is a crack in the stock - it's glued so the gauge can still be
used. $ 50 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
442 |
Ebony and brass mortice gauge with square stem.
Owner's marks on fence. Pins worn. Most probably made by Marples.
Few minor dings but overall G/G+ $ 60 |
|
|

worn. Minor scratches. G/G+ $ 60 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
440 |
Early English ebony and brass combination gauge with
solid brass stock. No maker's mark. One side of the stem has a bit
of the top missing. All three pins are all but gone. One for
the shelf. $ 90 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|

| 148 |
Stanley 95 mortise and
butt marking gauge. Made in USA; label on box sais made in Canada.
(A Stanley ploy to save taxes/duties on tools sold within the
British Commonwealth) Again, storage rust and dirt. Keeping tools in
their boxes for 20 years or more is not a good idea. $ 30 |
|
| |
 |
|
| 65 |
Stanley 92 butt &
rabbet gauge (can be used a mortise gauge as well). Cant's see any
markings. Rosewood fence shows quite a bit of wear but the rest is
astonishingly good and complete with the steel scribe and the
sliding shoe. One of the rarer Stanley gauges. $ 50 |
|
| |
|
|
| 49 |
Scholl's patent March
8, 1864 four stem rosewood marking gauge. Age crack and some damage
to one stem end. I suspect the ornate brass screw is an old
furniture screw but it fits and works perfectly well. $ 90 |
 |
| |
|

The rarest of them all: Wiesener 3 3/4"/ 400 grams
brass with steel tip and internal reel. I remember searching in vain
for patent 6247 25 years ago. These days half an hour on Google
cracked it. The real patent for this plumb bob was lodged in England
in September 3, 1907 by W.G.Wiesener and granted as Australian
Patent 12064 in 1908. This plumb bob almost certainly was sold by
T.F.Wiesener, Sydney, at the time a major supplier of scientific
instruments. I know of only one other example in the Dogan Basak
collection. That one is boxed and looks a lot more refined. Given
the 'fake' patent number and the somewhat crude stamping on this
plumb bob, I believe it would have been made to specification before
the actual patent was granted. |

Stanley Fuller calculator in original box. Good and
complete examples command very high prices, this is not one of them.
Both ends suffered some damage, the brass bracket that holds the
calculator does not fit into the top slot and there is wear and tear
on the cylinders. Still, these are great display pieces with that
air of sophisticated mathematical genius you needed before everybody
acquired it for free with an electronic calculator. $ 200 |
