The one I binned cos the concrete floor was harder was in better nick than that It's that ebay gotahavit thing I suppose I've just spotted someone bidding £41 for a second hand Stanley 92 when there is a new "Buy it Now" one for £38 and it's less postage. :?

Early frog, early blade, cap iron, lever cap, screws.. with a better picture I might bid 12.99 but check with the seller if he would post minus the sole to reduce postage cost - then it's possibly a bargain. I would have packaged it as a spares lot. I have sold plane spares on the 'bay for more than the original plane cost me. A busted Record #4SS cost me £4, sold the bits for £20!
What amazes me is how anyone would waste good gas and brazing rod on that!

Not sure what's going on with the frog there - seems to be showing through the sole? Wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't welded the frog in as part of the body to help prevent the thing falling apart... :roll: Bit of a pig in a poke even as spares with that pic, IMO.

Cheers, Alf

Maybe it was the pre-prototype for the LV bench planes.... :wink:
