About E.C.E. bench planes

Ernst Christian Emmerich is a German maker of wooden-bodied hand planes, still in production in the modern era. The bench planes here are typical of the output: beech bodies with harder hornbeam or lignum vitae wearing soles, often dovetailed into the body, and the Primus line with its screw adjuster for setting the iron. Long jointers such as the 23 1/2 inch size, the Primus adjustable models, and small block planes like the Pocket carry more weight than plain undersized bodies. Look for a sound sole with no gaps at the dovetail joint, a full-length iron, and the original box and label.

The 32 sales behind these figures come from Jim Bode Value Guide (21), Ted Dawson Antique Tools (4), Jim Bode Tools (3) and 2 other sources, and run from 2021 to 2026; 15 closed in the last twelve months.
