About John Bell moulding planes

John Bell was a Philadelphia planemaker working in the first half of the nineteenth century, and his planes carry a stamp reading PHILAD. or PHILADA. The recorded work is bench and moulding planes in beech, running from long jointers at 22 and 28 inches through complex mouldings, hollows, rabbets, panel raisers, and moving filletsters. Value follows the crispness of the boxwood-free beech body and the sharpness of the profile, with wide and complex moulders, handled filletsters, and panel raising planes ahead of plain hollows and rounds; worm, checks, a worn or mismatched iron, and a faint maker's stamp pull an example down.

The 10 sales behind these figures come from Jim Bode Value Guide (10), and run from 2022 to 2026; 7 closed in the last twelve months. 1 listing for sets, pairs or lots of John Bell moulding planes was left out, because a set's price is not one tool's price.
