Popular Post Jfitz Posted February 19, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Not quite "the find" I keep hoping for (a fantastic hand plane for), but I picked this up for just $17 at an Antique store which we stopped at on a whim. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris208 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 That’s a great find. A really weird thing to find in an antique store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nice. It probably came in with the hand planes you were hoping to find. They're long gone but this was still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're long gone but this was still there. Ha! True. I did pick up a stanley #4 type 13 as well - not quite a steal , but I just knew I'd have regretted not picking it up. Sadly, the rest of the planes we saw that day weren't really anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Very cool. How old is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them....they said they've only been making them for 15 years so it can't be "that" old. The name on the dial indicator is different than what's on them now but that doesn't seem helpful. As long as it's solid and square, I'll clean it up and put it to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use it a lot but when I do its an awesome tool to have especially for $17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
