Millers Falls 07 (140) skew rabbet wood block plane nice but missing side plate:
$90.00

You are offerding on one Millers Falls 07 skew rabbet wood block plane as pictured. There are some condition issues, so please keep reading down to the condition paragraphs. The most obvious are that it is missing the side plate, and the side plate screws are the proper thread but are not original.

It is marked "MILLERS FALLS No 07" on the left side, "MADE IN USA" near the back end, and "SOLID TOOL STEEL" with a faint MILLERS FALLS logo on the iron.

Overall length is about 7", and the lower end of the iron is about 1-5/8" in width measured straight across.

The side plate is missing, and the brass screws that would hold a side plate have the proper threads but are obviously not original.

Has it been repainted? I can't tell for sure. The japanning or black finish is nearly complete. But is has some tiny bits of debris stuck to it, especially near the throat. Sometimes that happens because the repainting hasn't dried completely when it was used, and sometimes that happens when someone tries to clean it with something that softens the japanning. Given that everything else is reasonably clean and bright, it is not surprising that the japanning should look equally good.

Condition is otherwise very good.The bottom and sides are reasonably clean and bright, with two tiny tiny chips in the throat. The front knob has very few scratches or dings, but shows some wear in the reddish finish at the widest part of the knob. The iron is also reasonably clean and bright with some slight patina (color), and the cap and adjusting wheel are almost as bright, with a few hints of rust on them. You can still see some of the original machining marks in the throat and on the right side.

Except as noted, there are no cracks or chips or chunks missing from any of the castings, and everything operates properly.

SHIPPING: 2 or 3 pounds when boxed, shipped USPS Ground Advantage which is slower but less expensive, insurance is included. No International shipping.

l sell what I enjoy, and I collect antique woodworking tools and I enjoy photography! The queue is overflowing with tools right now, as they seem to be finding me faster than I can list them. So please keep watching my postings as I have LOTS more to list!

Searching my listings: I have lots to see! Some of you will undoubtedly enjoy browsing through everything, but if you want to hone in on something specific, I suggest you click on the "Visit Store" link in Seller Information section in the upper right of this listing. That will lead you to my extensive system of categories.

How to subscribe to my newsletter?Every Friday sends out my newsletter featuring 10 of my most interesting new listings. To subscribe, click the VISIT STORE to go to my store and then click on the heart symbol that is labeled SAVE SELLER. That will automatically get you on the mailing list for the newsletters. They are free, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on , and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and sales with pictures only of the left side because the right side was trashed. Life is much simpler for me if I disclose what I know or see about an item before you offer, and especially before you receive it in the mail. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. What goes around, comes around.

RETURN POLICY: I believe that if you give honest descriptions, and include enough pictures, you shouldn't need a return policy. However, that doesn't mean that I won't make an occasional mistake. Please offer with the assurance that if I have made an error in my listing, I WILL take care of you. And if you have made an error, and bought the wrong size, for example, I will still take care of you (but I’ll let you pay the return shipping!).

USPS POSTAGE RATE INCREASES: I use the Post Office for everything, and yes, the shipping charges just keep going up and up. The Post Office now has several prices increases during each year, raising a few things but not everything at each increase. And they now raise their rates during the Holidays, which means early October to late January. Their big increases are in January, timed to start at the end of the Holiday rates, and this year is no exception. And it's not just the postage rates, the insurance charges and the delivery signature charges have also gone up. There is now a surcharge for Priority Mail packages over 20" long, and another for Priority Mail packages over 30" long, because those longer packages won't fit in their automatic machines. And the Post Office has discontinued the Regional Flat Rate boxes, which were often less expensive for certain sizes and weights.I try to pick the best shipping option for each listing, based both on what is the least expensive and on what I think is needed to protect the item. If the value is $250 or over, requires your signature at delivery for the buyer and seller protections to be in effect.

SALES TAX: Interstate sales tax is now the reality on all the major selling websites including . If I ship to a state where is required to collect sales tax, will charge you the sales tax for your location.There is lots of information available from that explains it in much more detail. The sales tax is completely out of my hands -- I don't have anything to do with deciding whether to charge tax, I don't have anything to do with deciding the tax rate, and I never see any of the funds that are collected, they go directly to .

SELLING OUTSIDE OF : Why would I risk my lengthy good standing with to save you a couple of dollars? Especially when you ask on an email that is sent through the email system? Please don't ask, the answer is no.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I no longer ship Internationally other than Canada. If you are in Canada, ask for what the shipping would cost, but be prepared for it to be $$$$$.

sales: I won’t end an sale listing early to sell it to you directly. As a buyer, I really dislike going back at the end of an sale to offer, only to discover that the seller had ended the sale early. So I won’t do that for you, or to you.

PACKAGING: Please check my response -- I package well. I figure if you take the time to purchase from me, then I can take the time to package it well, and not just throw it into a cereal box with a scrap of newspaper.

I hope someday I will meet some of you as we trudge the happy road of tool collecting!
