Tips for beginners
Because of their shorter production history, condition is a bigger factor in determining the value of Millers Falls planes than is the case with Stanley or Sargent products. Repainted planes have functional value but are not collectible.
Condition
Good+ to fine condition: No hanging holes. No cracked castings. No cracked totes or chips out of the wooden parts. (Hairline in front knob is ok). Proper cutter; other parts original. Virtually no pitting. Original finishes are at least 85% intact. Fine condition begins in mid-90% range. Planes in their original boxes bring higher prices.

Tips for beginners
Verify that chucks and ratchets are in working order! Braces cleaned with a buffing wheel or wire wheel have functional value but are not collectible.
Condition
Pre-1880 production: Collectors are more forgiving of minor cracks, checking and pitting. In general, these can be identified by the 'good to good+' note in the condition column. Braces cleaned with a buffing wheel or wire wheel have functional value but are not collectible.
Good condition: Fully functional. No movable parts are frozen. Jaws and ratchets function properly. Parts are proper. Ratchets are not loose or worn. Minor cracks, checking and pitting may be seen on hard-to-find earlier models.
Good+ to fine: All original, fully functional, little or no wear to moving parts. Good+ means original finishes are at least 85% intact. Fine begins in mid-90% range. Braces in their original boxes bring much higher prices.

Tips for beginners
Watch for side handles! If a drill was manufactured with one, and it is missing or is an improper replacement, it is not collectible. Repainted drills have functional value but are not collectible.
Condition
Pre-1900 production: Collectors are more forgiving of of paint loss.
Good condition: Fully functional. No movable parts are frozen. Jaws and ratchets function properly. No cracked castings and parts are proper. No missing gear teeth. No missing parts.
Good+ to fine: All original, fully functional, little or no wear to moving parts. Good+ means original finishes are at least 85% intact. Fine begins in mid-90% range. Drills with their original boxes bring much higher prices.

Tips for beginners
Watch for side handles! If a drill was equipped with one, and it is missing or is an improper replacement, it is not collectible. Watch for auxiliary breast plates! If a drill was originally equipped with one, and it is missing, it is not collectible. Repainted drills have functional value but are not collectible.

Pre-1900 production: Collectors are more forgiving of of paint loss.
Good condition: Fully functional. No movable parts are frozen. Jaws and ratchets function properly. No cracked castings and parts are proper. Ratchets are not loose or worn. No missing gear teeth. No missing parts.
Good+ to fine: All original, fully functional, little or no wear to moving parts. Good+ means original finishes are at least 85% intact. Fine begins in mid-90% range. Drills with their original boxes bring higher prices.
