Today's Featured Tool Description
Foster, Edwin W./Central Park, Ny : Foster's Turntable Metallic Plane. Pat. Jan. 29, 1907. Scarce & Excellent. Length: 9.75 Inches. An example of FOSTER'S PATENT TURNTABLE SMOOTHING PLANE as patented and produced by Edwin W. Foster of Central Park, New York. This innovative and unusual patented plane was issued a U.S. Patent on January 29, 1907. The tool was promoted nationally by the Oliver Woodworking Machinery Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan and most likely manufactured for Foster by the Ohio Tool Company through a contract with that company, the "Turn Table Plane" possesses one of the most unusual design features of any patented plane ever produced. Protected by a patent issued to manual training instructor Edwin W. Foster of Central Park, New York on January 29, 1907, there was probably never any likelihood that there would have been a rush of imitators eager to produce copies of this tool in the event no patent had been issued. The central feature of the Foster Patent was a pivoting frog that had the effect of transforming the tool from a bench plane to a shoot board plane at the adjustment of a lever and the turn of a screw. Partly because it is so prominently featured in Roger Smith's essential reference, "Patented Transitional & Metallic Planes in America, Volume I", partly because it is so very well made, partly because it is of such unique design and lastly because known examples are so very few, the Foster Patent is at the very top of the list of collectible patented planes. This example is complete and in top collector quality condition. From the Collection of the late Richard C. "Rick" Floyd, Newport, Maine. (FINE). This item was sold on February 4, 2026 for $2,300.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions
jpg_file Lot 399. An exceptionally clean and well preserved EARLY YELLOW BIRCH CORNICE MOLDING PLANE by I. (Iohn or John) Nicholson, the son of Francis Nicholson, the first professional American planemaker. This handled molding plane looks to have been very little, if ever, for the purpose for which it was produced. The "A2" imprint of John Nicholson, which includes just the maker name is as crisp and clear as the day it was originally struck and the plane is in in equally nice condition. A mid-Eighteenth Century complex molding plane by a highly respected early maker in top collector quality condition. Highly recommended. (FINE).(2,500.00 - 5,000.00) Length: 13 Inches.
