For a complete description and condition grading, please read the full description before purchasing!
This early low style rosewood knob is in Good Plus condition and an original replacement for Stanley plane No.'s 6, 7, & 8 produced between 1889 to 1918 (type 6 through type 11). It will also fit a BEDROCK type 1 through type 4 No. 606, No. 607, and No. 608 - Before the raised knob ring was added to the bed of the plane. There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs, or the usual hair...line splits that are commonly found on these earlier style knobs - only very light dings and scratches. It comes with the original hardware to ensure a proper fit onto the new plane. The threads are cut (rather than rolled) which is the method Stanley used to produce the threads until about 1908. Stanley changed to rolled threads at this time, but kept the same knob style until 1918. It was donated from a type 7 No. 6 but the specs for the knob and hardware are also the same for a No. 7 and No. 8 from the same era (verified on at least 3 samples of each). This very nice knob is a nice replacement for a damaged knob on your Stanley plane.Height is 2.055"
Visit my store for more antique and vintage tools and tool parts. My items are carefully packaged and shipped out on the same day payment is received, as long as payment is received by 3 pm Central Time (subject to post office hours, holidays, weekends, etc.)
I have a lot of common and some hard-to-find tool parts that are not listed in my store. If you are not able to find what you need, feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. All of my listed items have been inspected and tested to provide the best possible description. In some cases, parts may be brushed off with a soft-bristled brush, such as a paint brush, to remove surface dust or debris for photos. Unless otherwise noted, parts have not been cleaned beyond this. Although most of my items sell very quickly, metal parts may contain a small layer of oil, WD-40, grease, or similar substance to preserve the item and prevent rusting while it is in inventory. ALL inventory is stored in an environment where climate and humidity are controlled to ensure each item is received in the same condition in which it is presented in the listing. Unless otherwise noted in the listing, photos are of the exact item you will receive. Every single item is listed and packaged by myself and I take pride in carefully packaging all items, regardless of purchase amount. Creating a positive experience for you, the buyer, is my top priority.
Positive feedback is left for all buyers as soon as payment is received because by paying for an item you have fulfilled your obligation in the agreement.
When applicable, I try to grade the condition of every tool and part objectively using John Walter's grading system from his "Antique & Collectible Stanley Tools" price guide as described below. This is not necessarily an industry standard for grading, and grading vocabulary will vary from collector to collector since there is some subjectivity involved (i.e. "mint" vs. "near mint"). For these reasons, I will also try to list a description of these grades in each listing in order to clarify the grade given to each item. Please refer to the details below and read the "condition" portion of this listing for the condition grading assigned to this item.
MINT: 100% of original finish remaining. No signs of wear or rust - probably never used. No problems or issues.
EXCELLENT: 95-99% of original finish remaining. Very slight wear with no rust. No problems or issues.
GOOD PLUS: 85-95% of original finish remaining. Used but well maintained. Scuffs, light wear, very little rust.
GOOD: 65-85% of original finish remaining. Moderate wear and/or rust. Minor deficiencies - owner's initials, nicks, etc.
GOOD MINUS: 50-65% of original finish remaining. Has seen hard use, but remains serviceable. Scratches, nicks, dents, cracks, chips, improper replacement parts.
FAIR: 25-50% of original finish remaining. Heavy wear and rust. Some parts are broken, missing, or improper - serious flaws.
POOR: 0-25% of original finish remaining. Pitted, abused, heavily worn. Serious damage and missing major parts.
