Turned out to be a Stanley Type 14/15...only damage found was a chipped corner on the lever cap...with 1/2 of the nickel plate worn away....still had a trace of orange paint in the clipped Corner logo ....and some orange paint on the sides of the frog..

I have seen worst....but, this one was the same size as a Stanley No. 4-1/2c....figured I could replace the tote...and clean it up a bit..

Turned out to be a Sargent Type 3 No. 410c, sold as a Fulton at Sears...

Same same as my Stanley No. 4-1/2, Type 11 SW...

Just that the Stanley (same age?) cost me $70 more that the Sargent made plane....

Something about a book and it's cover?

Nice job on the planes, Bandit.

Haven't seen you around here lately...have you been building boxes without sharing with us?  I appreciated every build-along you shared.
