Frederick Stanley founded his small shop in 1843, focusing on manufacturing hardware from wrought iron. Through innovation and dedication, what began as 'The Stanley Works' evolved into a legendary name in high-quality tools. The Stanley No.92 is often hailed as 'the finest Butt Gauge ever produced by the Stanley Rule & Level Company,' reflecting its premium status and craftsmanship.
With a price tag nearly double that of the renowned No.77 Rosewood Mortise Gauge, the No.92 was crafted for the most discerning users. Its solid construction and elegant design make it not only a useful tool but also a stunning addition to any collection.
Introduced in 1892 based on a patent by Justus Traut and discontinued in 1939, the No.92 is a rare gem, particularly within the UK. It was the first of its kind specifically designed as a Butt Gauge, featuring a unique movable dual cutter. Once set for the thickness of the butt hinge, it allows for precise marking of both the door and the jamb without the need for readjustments.
While Stanley later produced lower-cost butt gauges, none matched the versatility and high standards of the No.92, which also functions as a marking and mortise gauge.
Notably, this gauge is distinctly marked with 'Stanley, New Britain, Conn, USA, No.92', ensuring its authenticity. A true collector's item, this stunning tool represents the pinnacle of Stanley's craftsmanship and is sure to impress anyone who appreciates exquisite vintage tools.
In excellent, used condition, this exceptional tool showcases the beauty of antique craftsmanship while exhibiting the charm of its age with the usual wear you'd expect. Operating flawlessly, this piece is complete with the often-missing steel scribe nestled between the brass case and the rosewood head. The rosewood head displays only minimal wear from use, free from any chips or cracks. All three scribe points are present and retain their length, ensuring functionality. A fantastic piece of history, this tool not only reflects skilled toolmaking but is also in excellent working condition. It has been lightly cleaned to maintain its original patina, adding to its character. If you need more photos or additional information, please reach out to us!
