Description

The Tool Collector
At some point, our collections begin to overflow and unless we have a museum at our disposal, must share some of our collection, less we be labelled a hoarder. Okay, label me as such, but I am willing to share a few of my treasures with others.
For sale we have a
Stanley No. 1120 Four Square Household Non-Adjusting Block Plane from around the 1925-35 Era. It has a Japanned Hardwood front knob. There are no cracks or other damages to wood or metal parts. The Saturday Evening Post of the 1923-25 time frame had ads for the Four Square line of Household tools that proved to be one of Stanley's most successful advertising campaigns of all time. As we come up on the anniversary of this time period, these wonderful tools are transitioning from being vintage to antique. From 1925 on, the popularity remained, but the advertising campaign eased. By the 1930's, the Depression was setting in and austerity caused these to be later painted gray. This one remained black from the previous period before the Depression. There is pitting and staining on the bottom and the iron.   Please see pictures.

The 1920's was a period of great change and innovation and with the launch of the Stanley Works in 1919 (a combination of various Stanley companies) a new logo was designed and presented to the world. A gentleman named William Hart, a distinguished contributor with Stanley for many years, retired in 1918 and passed in 1919. In a tribute, they placed the Stanley Works SW inside a heart and the field of woodworkers everywhere instantly dubbed it the Sweetheart Line. I have collected and used Stanley Sweetheart tools for many years and will be offering some from my collection for sale over the next few months as they will soon begin turning 100 years old.
