lot 3 crisp Buck London wood molding planes qtr round ogee cove 1 needs wedge

Description: You are bidding on one lot of 3 wood molding planes as pictured. The plane bodies are reasonably crisp, but there are some condition issues including a broken off wedge, so please keep reading down to the condition paragraphs.Included are:--- a tiny quarter round plane marked "BUCK 242 TOTTENHAM CT RD" on the front end, and "3/16" on the back end.--- an ogee plane marked "BUCK 242 TOTTENHAM CT RD" on the front end, and with owner "F NORRIS" on both ends. --- and a cove plane marked "BUCK 242 TOTTENHAM CT RD" on the front end, and "5/8" on the back end. About half of the wedge is broken off and missing, but at least you have the pattern for the new wedge. Overall length of each plane is very close to 9-1/2". The last three pictures show the back ends of each plane (not the front) sitting on graph paper with 1/4" squares. There were a variety of Buck family members who made and sold planes in London, England. This is the mark of George Buck, and actually the address of his successors. Please see the book Goodman's British Planemakers 4th Edition for an extensive discussion of the Buck family, including Buck & Ryan, Buck & Hickman, and more. It notes that this address dates to between 1880 and 1930. Condition is good news and bad news for all three planes. --- quarter round. The body is reasonably crisp, especially in the profile area, with very little wear and some scratches in the wood mostly on the left side. It has some dirt or crud on the top, and also in a thin line on the left side. It is reasonably straight if you sight down the profile, with just a hint of a left to right bow. The iron has some areas of rust and pitting as can be seen.--- ogee. The body is reasonably crisp, especially in the profile area, with very little wear, but there are some obvious scratches towards the upper edge on both sides. It has some dirt on the sides, and something spilled or overspray on the upward facing surfaces. It is reasonably straight if you sight down the profile. The iron has some areas of rust and pitting as can be seen.--- cove. The body is reasonably crisp, especially in the profile area, with very little wear and very few scratches in the wood. But it has a lot of something spilled or oversprayed on the upward facing surfaces - the top and the step. It is reasonably straight if you sight down the profile, with just a hint of a left to right bow. The iron has some areas of rust and pitting as can be seen. And again, as noted, half of the wedge is missing. The iron and the wedge each appear to be original to each plane. The winner gets all three planes! I am listing several other Buck planes in similar condition -- crisp but rusty. Please see my other listings! SHIPPING: 4 pounds when boxed, shipped US Postal Service Ground Advantage, 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 eBay newsletter? Every Friday eBay sends out my newsletter featuring 10 of my most interesting new listings. To subscribe, click the VISIT STORE to go to my eBay 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 eBay, and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and auctions 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 bid, 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 bid 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, eBay 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 eBay. If I ship to a state where eBay is required to collect sales tax, eBay will charge you the sales tax for your location. There is lots of information available from eBay 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 eBay.SELLING OUTSIDE OF EBAY: Why would I risk my lengthy good standing with eBay to save you a couple of dollars? Especially when you ask on an email that is sent through the eBay 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 $$$$$. AUCTIONS: I won’t end an auction listing early to sell it to you directly. As a bidder, I really dislike going back at the end of an auction to bid, only to discover that the seller had ended the auction early. So I won’t do that for you, or to you.PACKAGING: Please check my feedback -- 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!
