I'm willing to part this out or sell as a whole unit. Collectors beware. I'm not stating these are collector quality, nor claiming any collector value. I've used these for years and they are sharp and have had the backs of the blades honed.
Here are the details:
One set of 9 Dutch planes including complex.
8 Rabbet or Dado from 3/8 up
6 edge beading
4 tongue and groove
2 coving
The 45 and the cutters shown.
That should be 29 planes and the 45 with cutters and I'll do $400 for the whole lot.
I'd rather keep the dutch set together unless demand forces my hand, for $125.
The Rabbett set for $85
Edge beading for $65
T and G for $55
Coving for $30
The 45 with cutters for $65.

Buyer pays shipping.
I'll be negotiable. So, PM away. It works out to about $12 bucks a plane.

Here's a last one. A spokeshave. Flattened and sharp. Any interest? Maybe 20 bucks.

Although I don't have your 45 in hand and can only make judgements from what I can see in the pictures, it falls into two categories. Because of the floral decorations on the sides and the 'B' casting mark it appears to be a Type 8 category (1907-1908). However, the knob on the fence has the earmarks of a Type 12 (1915-1920) because of the square brass nut used to hold it on - first used in 1915. Fences can be interchanged. I think you have a Type 8 body with a Type 15 fence. Type 8 Stanleys came standard with 20 cutters. I counted 18, which means the box of cutters came from an 1883 to 1896 era in which 18 was standard.

None of this hurts anything and is fodder for speculation. Often these planes were dropped and fence broken. Did the original owner order a new fence in 1915? Then one can have fun speculating how a box of older blades got with a younger plane - trading on the job site?? This tool is talking, and if we could only know more.

I should note that the nickel plating on your plane is primo, especially for a tool 100+ years old which was used. If I needed a 45 I'd grab it.

She may have been painted. Yes, she's talking but I don't think she's without touch up.

Hi,

Are the cutters with a 45 work with all versions? The one I have has only one cutter, the person I got it from about 30 years ago was sure they had the cutters and some other small parts and would locate them for me.... I'm still waiting.

Mine has a side ways S stamp and I'm guess it is older then the one pictured. The guy who sold it though it dated from the late 1890's but given the fact he never found the cutters I have never been all the sure about the date.

Are pictures worth a 1000 words on this subject?

I believe so. The shoes move apart to accommodate the width of the cutters. There is a notch that fits into a peg which then raises the blades up and down.
