Scarce Patented Bailey Tool Co. Defiance No. 5 Jack Plane — Woonsocket, RI

A hard-to-find Defiance No. 5 size jack plane from the Bailey Tool Co., Woonsocket, Rhode Island — measuring 13¼” in length. This patented example was discovered in a working woodshop, a testament to its enduring utility and craftsmanship.
Features include:
• Stanley marked, razor-sharp iron
• Jappaning appears to have been enhanced long ago, with a mellow patina that complements its age
• Solid  hardwood tote and knob with honest wear
• Crisp casting  with a lever cap that is marked 10 on the back side.

Planes from Bailey’s Woonsocket era are prized for their transitional significance and mechanical ingenuity. This one offers both collector-grade rarity and workshop readiness.
