You are bidding on fourteen Stothert hollow and round wood molding or moulding planes as pictured.13 of the 14 came to me together, with the same owner markings, and they are pairs of #2, #6, #13, #14, #16, and #18 hollows and rounds. The extra plane is a #9 round. Each is marked "STOTHERT BATH" and owner "G TIPPETT" (tiny letters) on the front end, and with the size on the back end.Also included is a cabinet pitch #1 that is marked "STOTHERT BATH" and with the size, but with different owners, and it came to me separately from the other 13.George Stothert and his succeeding family members made planes in Bath, England, from about 1784 to 1857. Please see British Plane Makers 3rd Editon for more information about him.Condition of all 14 is very good, but wanting a light cleaning, with the following exceptions or notations.#2 hollow -- strange screw hole in left side (???)#2 round -- dinged up on back end, wedge cracked#6 hollow -- wedge cracked#6 round -- wedge is a different color, but seems to fit well and is probably original, tail of iron is short#9 round -- dinged up wedge and on back end#16 hollow -- tiny chip in front of iron, some lengthwise scratches that aren't bad#18 round -- wedge dinged up a bitAll are quite functional.SHIPPING MOULDING PLANES: The typical moulding plane will weigh a bit over one pound when boxed, and ships at the two pound rate. Within the US, that costs $10.55. But I can get 6 to 8 typical width moulding planes into one medium Priority Flat Rate box, and that costs $11.70 within the US. So the second plane ships for about a dollar, and the next few after that ship for free. SHIPPING: 14 pounds when boxed. They would all fit into TWO medium Flat Rate boxes, which means that, despite what the shipping calculator says, I can ship them anyw within the US for $23.40 ($11.70 twice), and I will pick up the cost of insurance within the US. (see below if you are bidding outside the US) The queue is overflowing with tools right now, as they seem to be finding me faster than I can list them. Please see my other current as well as upcoming auctions, as I am or will be listing many more collectible planes and tools. If you follow my auctions, I typically list in batches of similar tools. I tend to rotate back and forth between groups of metal planes and parts for them, and then groups of American and British molding planes, and then back to metallic planes again. But every so often I sneak in something else, such as chisels and gouges, bevels and squares and gauges, books about tools and reprint catalogs, and a variety of other tools. So I might not have any chisels for a month, and then have 30 or 40 chisels all listed at the same time. So please keep watching my auctions! Or if t is something specific that you are looking for, please let me know so that I can get it listed for you to consider. And if you, like me, are tired of the disappointments as a shopper -- misleading descriptions and poor photographs, "fine" tools that turned out to be repainted when you got them, non original parts that weren't mentioned, and poor packaging, -- then I encourage you to follow my auctions. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on eBay, and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and auctions with pictures only of the left side because the right side was trashed. Life is much simpler for me if I disclose what I know or see about an item before you bid, and especially before you receive it in the mail. If I have added or replaced a part, I will tell you. If I think the wedge on a molding plane is not original, I will tell you. If I think a japanned plane has been repainted, I will tell you. What goes around, comes around. RETURN POLICY: I believe that if you give honest d... read more
