second top shelf is the only bench plane on that shelf.
If im right I won't know because I'll be away for 4 days so someone else can have my go.Cheers

Is it the knob on the top shelf without a plane, or perhaps the #112 without a blade?
Regards,
Peter

Well done Peter.
I must have looked at that 112 a dozen times and never saw the missing blade.......
...........Ummmm that sounds just a tad silly, but you know what I mean.
OK I'm ready for another one.
Thanks Luban for yours and I am looking forward to Peter's
Regards

Ah. At first I though 'twas a scraper plane, but on not seeing a blade I assumed it was just some sort of low-angle plane... After all, some planes have so many bits dangling off 'em that I've no idea whether there's s'posed to be a blade in the middle of it all or not!
(Says me, showing just how plane ignorant I am! )

Here it is...which one is the odd one out?
I left the image big so the detectives amongst us can get a close look.
Good luck!

Not really knowing what the long brass thingy is ,
I'm guessing that the wrench is the only non-woodworking tool ?
Edit : nice tight mouth on that bottom left plane

Very nice picture Peter, and what a line up of lovely heirlooms.
I am thinking out loud here so I am going to make some mistakes, but here goes:
Planes from top left look to me like
- No 3 sized Sargent, Leonard Bailey (Victor ?) number 7 size
- Unknown woodie, Chaplin's patent. Union X? series, Unknown, Preston number 5, Millers Falls 714,
- Brass bar thingie,
- Butt Mortise plane
- Angle gauge, Wrench
- Adjustable depth Tenon(?) saw - Boston, Douglass - something like that
Now I am probably wide of the mark, but I am going to nominate the Preston as the odd one out - as the only English tool that I know of in this line-up.
I am guessing that the others are all American.
Fingers crossed

The brass thing is telescoping brass purlin prop marker ( Aust ) for a roofing carpenter, made by S.G.Peters (Peterson) VIC.
One bloke in the roof places it in where the prop will go then passes it down to the bloke on the ground who uses it to mark the timber for cutting. It records the angles at the ends and the length.
Pretty obscure tool, and providing there are no oldtime roofers in the group, a great whatsit! I found it in a junk shop, and a friend saw it and said "purlin prop marker"
Regards,
Peter
