Minty & Rare Stanley No. 151R Round Bottom Adjustable Iron Spokeshave – Made in USA – Sweetheart Era

A scarce and highly collectible example of Stanley’s precision edge tools, this Stanley No. 151R Round Bottom Spokeshave is marked Made in USA and features a Sweetheart-era cutter stamped “Stanley 151R SW.” Unlike the newer offshore versions, this is the original American-made model, built with superior materials and craftsmanship.

🔹 Features & Highlights

• Round bottom sole, ideal for shaping concave curves and inside radii
• Adjustable cutter, controlled by dual knurled nuts for fine tuning
• Sweetheart logo blade, dating to Stanley’s golden production era (circa 1920–1935)
• Body marked “Made in USA”, confirming its domestic origin

🔹 Condition
Minty Japanning is intact, cutter is sharp, and all hardware functions smoothly. No cracks, repairs, or modifications.

🔹 Collector’s Note
The 151R is often overshadowed by its flat-bottom sibling, but its curved sole makes it indispensable for chairmaking, instrument work, and sculptural shaping. U.S.-made Sweetheart versions are exceptionally rare, especially in this condition.
