Stanley combination plane prices

About Stanley combination planes

Stanley is an American toolmaker based in New Britain, Connecticut, and its hand tool lines dominated the trade from the late 19th century through the mid 20th. The Bailey-pattern bench planes shown here, from the small No. 2 smoother up through the No. 5 1/2 jack, are the core of that output, alongside block planes, combination and plow planes, braces, router planes, rules and gauges. Value tracks model scarcity and completeness: small castings like the No. 2 and full combination planes with their cutters bring more than common No. 4 and No. 5 sizes, Sweetheart-era marks on irons and saw plates add a premium, and items still boxed, such as a No. 49 auger bit gauge, outrank worn users with pitting, cracks or replaced parts.

The 521 sales behind these figures come from Jim Bode Value Guide (447), Ted Dawson Antique Tools (47), Jim Bode Tools (18) and 2 other sources, and run from 2020 to 2026; 96 closed in the last twelve months. 6 listings for sets, pairs or lots of Stanley combination planes were left out, because a set's price is not one tool's price.
