Wow, that sounds like quite a find.

My collection so far....

I've just picked up another two planes, a Stanley No 5 1/2 and a No 7

I’ve had nothing but first class service and advise.

Hi friends, I recently bought an old tool chest, I have restored the vast majority of items and would now like help identifying a Brace. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for the info, after reading up on it I think you are correct.
