I’ve never found a good source for Sargent planes with pictures. Much information can be found at http://www.sargent-planes.com. This should help supplement that and other sites. I’ll continue to add information as I find it.
I don’t sell a lot of Sargent planes, but its possible I have a few. If I do, they will be found on my Tools For Sale Page.
I want to thank all those who have helped by sending me pictures and information.

time tested tools 
would this include the “Fulton” planes (mine is a #5 sized) or the Dunlaps ( The BL series by Craftsman) as I have a couple of them.
I wasn’t including these, just Sargent. That’s a big enough task.
Don I have 1 or 2 somewhere Ill see what I have.
Excellent source, Thanks for sharing your hard work!
I have a 6408 smoother, would like info if you are able to provide.
I don’t have much info for the 6408. It was manufactured around 1906 as a smoother. It seems its pretty rare so probably valuable. I would love to add a picture if you’d send me one.
I have a 3430 plane that is 30 inches long. It also has the initials GFO in each corner on the end of the plane where it says Sargent & Co.. What does it stand for. I would like info on it if you are able to provide it. Thanks for your time . Semper-Fi Ozzie Sterling

Just picked up my 1st sargent on Ebay for $10 bucks. Very blurry pics, but seems to be a 5307 knuckle joint block. No lateral adjuster. How can you tell if it’s a 5306 vs 5307 from pics?
a 5306 is 6″ log, a 5307 is 7″
Good to find the 414. Iron is marked Sargent, ‘keeper’ marked Bailey. Is this tool built to stanley specs ? My hometown, Winsted, CT, built tools for a number of big names including D R Barton & Stanley-one chisel I have marked ‘Winsred Edge’ is all I’ve found with an acknowledgement, Like to see someone put the pieces together. I have an amazing D R Barton 9 German style draw knife that I’ve used for 100s of hours–no, not for sale–be nice to see these smaller shops tied together…BR….
If by “keeper” you mean the lever cap, a Stanley lever cap would not have come on a Sargent.
