It would amaze you how simple tools have become expensive as time has gone on. As we’ve noted before, there is a collectibles market for just about nearly every item, and that includes the hand plane. Hand planes are used to shape and cut wood.
One of the most valuable hand planes is the Chaplin No. 1. Made by Tower & Lyon in New York, the planes have flowing lines and curves that make them stand out from other designs. The first Tower & Lyon (No. 1) hand plane was produced in 1872, and it generally resells for $500 to $1,000 on auction sites.
