FOR SALE ☞ An early Stanley No. 45 Type 6 combination woodworking plane with 20 cutters, four rods, adjustable components, period screwdriver and original finger-jointed wooden storage box.
DESCRIPTION ☞ This is an antique Stanley Rule & Level Co. No. 45 combination plane, believed to be a Type 6 example dating to approximately 1895–1896.
The plane is marked “No. 45” and bears the March 11, 1884 and January 22, 1895 patent dates. It has a nickel-plated cast-metal body with ornate floral decoration, a shaped wooden rear handle, wooden front knob and a wood-faced adjustable fence.
The No. 45 was designed as an adaptable woodworking tool capable of cutting grooves, beads, rabbets, dadoes, tongue-and-groove joints and other profiles by changing its cutters and adjusting the fence, stops and sliding section.
This set includes:
• Main plane stock with wooden handle
• Sliding section and adjustable fence
• 20 assorted cutters
• Four metal rods
• Adjustable stops and scoring components
• Wooden-handled screwdriver
• Original finger-jointed wooden storage box
• Original cutter-holding board
• Additional components shown in the photographs
The set appears to correspond closely with the original equipment supplied with the Type 6 version. The original instruction sheet is not present. Please rely upon the photographs for the exact components included.
The original box retains portions of two green printed paper labels. The end label identifies the contents as a Stanley patent improved adjustable plow and beading plane manufactured by Stanley Rule & Level Co. of New Britain, Connecticut. The inner cutter-board label includes an illustrated plane and cutter diagram.
Several wooden components bear an earlier owner’s stamped name or initials, adding evidence of the tool’s long working history.
DIMENSIONS ☞ The assembled plane measures approximately 10 1/2 inches long by 5 1/2 inches high. Its overall width and depth vary according to the placement of the rods and adjustable fence.
CONDITION ☞ This antique woodworking set appears to have been gently used for its intended purpose and remains in good overall condition for its age and prior usage.
The metal components show expected surface wear, light oxidation, tarnish, slight scratches and areas of plating wear. The wooden handle, knob and fence retain a warm aged finish with scattered marks, small dents and former-owner stamps.
The cutters show evidence of prior use, along with some surface staining and oxidation. The original wooden box has scratches, scuffs, edge wear and wear around the finger-jointed corners. Both original paper labels have considerable age-related flaking and surface loss, though portions of the printed wording and illustrations remain visible.
This complete antique set is offered here as shown, with the components pictured included.
The threaded adjustments and moving components have not been tested through every possible configuration. The set is sold exactly as photographed. Please see photos. Color may differ slightly in real life from how it appears on your screen due to varying monitor settings. Have a question about this item or want to see more photos?

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept returns?
For EU & UK buyers: As required by consumer law, most online purchases can be cancelled within 14 days of delivery. Certain exceptions apply (antiques, collectibles, items sold “for parts/repair”). Buyer pays return shipping, and refunds are issued only after the item is received and verified in its original condition.
For buyers outside the EU/UK (e.g. USA, Canada): All sales are considered final. Returns are not accepted except in cases of significant misrepresentation.Do you accept exchanges?
No. All of our items are considered one-offs and unique so we can not offer exchanges at this time.
Will I have to pay extra customs or duty fees if I’m in the U.S.?
We ship all U.S. orders using the most reliable method available. Some items (especially antiques over 100 years old or U.S.-made goods) are tariff-exempt under current rules. For other items, we do our best to pre-pay duties and include them in the price (known as DDP — Delivered Duty Paid) so what you see at checkout is what you’ll pay.
What does “DDP” mean?
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. It means we take care of the customs paperwork and fees on our end whenever possible. That way, your package clears the border smoothly and you won’t get a surprise bill on delivery.
Are there any exceptions?
Most antiques and U.S.-made vintage items ship duty-free. European pieces are usually covered by DDP (we pre-pay the duty and build it into the price). Canadian-made vintage can sometimes carry higher tariffs; in those rare cases, we’ll either adjust the listing price to reflect the duty or let you know up front if extra charges could apply. If you have any concerns regarding tariffs, please message us prior to purchase and we would be happy to do some research for you!
What happens if customs does charge extra?
We’re transparent about this from the start: buyers are responsible for any customs/import fees that may apply. That said, we always do our best to minimize the risk by using the right codes and carriers. If you have questions about a specific item, message us before checkout and we’ll give you an honest answer about what to expect.
Why do some Canadian shops say “buyer is responsible for duty”?
That’s Etsy’s default policy. We go a step further by explaining how duties work and when we can cover them. Our goal is to make your buying experience smooth and surprise-free.
