Antique LEONARD VICTOR BAILEY #5 PLANE Vintage Old Handplane Hand Tool #191
Vintage hand tools - hand plane #191. Up for sale is fantastic & scarce Genuine VICTOR BAILEY #5 JACK PLANE, 345mm long. Leonard Bailey was the inventor of the "Stanley" plane as we know it, in 1869 the Stanley Rule & Level Co bought 7 of Leonard Bailey's patent designs, their relationship continued up until 1875, they ended up in court over a patent dispute (Stanley eventually won the case), in 1878 Leonard went to work with a Mr Selden Bailey (no relation) & produced the Defiance & Victor Bailey lines of planes, Stanley bought both of them out in the 1880s & closed production of both by 1888 to focus on their own lines. Arguably one of the best looking bench planes with their ornate metal handles & knobs, they are comfortable to hold & use. This plane is in authentic vintage condition, wear and tear consistent with age and use, wear to the sole & sides, some pitting to the base & some dents on the heel & a previous owners mark stamped into the side plus some other marks, some japanning loss, an authentic & rare survivor from design genius Leonard Bailey.
