Sargent Plane Information

Just wondering if Sargent ever produced spoke-shaves, draw knives, or other non-plane tools? What should also we be on the lookout for?
And.. would it be cheating if we found pics of planes on eBay or other sources? And pointed you in that direction? Your site is incredible, looks quite comprehensive!

Does the number correspond to the length of the plane?

Sometime if you know how and when. Like a 422 is 22” bit a 5206 doesn’t seem to mean anything

I think this is a great idea… I just sent you a couple pics.. I will send a couple more later of some Sargent trans planes I have…

Fulton, appears to be a 14” Jack plane. lever cap has both the 709, and the 714 cast into it..

Dunlap for sears, by Sargent. A #220 sized low angle block plane. Has a “BL” stamped on the right side of the base.

A Sargent 107 style block plane, with a cambered iron.

Sears Craftsman #3 sized smooth plane, made by Sargent.

Don’t have any with the “Sargent” name on them, but I seem to find a bunch MADE by sargent, for others. Like Fulton, Dunlap, Craftsman….

How about the all aluminum, 4 sided cutter Sargent 600? I saw one of these the other day and dang near bought it just for laughs:

Ive got a wood bodied Sargent plane 16” long marked Sargent & Co 613 on the toe. Iron marked Sargent & CO (in a half moon) Warrented Cast Steel. Letter “H” stamped on both sides.

Don, I just looked at your page again and realized you had pics of the ones I sent you all ready. I think my #2204 pic would be better if used though :)

thanks Dan, I’ve added them. They were both good pictures.

Jason, I’ve added the 600 as well.

Perhaps I should add that I stole that picture off the internet…

If I get back to the store that had a 600 for sale I’ll take my own pics…maybe buy it for scrap aluminum!

Chris, how about some pictures of the 613?

Thanks to your Sargent link , I have finally identified my little beater plane as a 306-307.
Thank you , Don : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

I’ve been using my little 306 block plane.

Seems to do alright

Hi bandit , mine doesn’t have the black paint on it…seems to be “chromed” instead.
