Hi Skip,
No, these are factory stock, just a little Feed-n-Wax added on them. I think that plane frustrated the original owner enough that it never got used much. It took some fiddling to make it work like I wanted

Thanks for the reply Chris;
I may strip my 3 Craftsman totes down and see what is under all that mess... The #5 size one's tote is covered with paint drips... The only red parts are the frogs and they're not shiny. I could repaint the black areas but they are in pretty good shape already.. No fiddling required to put'em to work... Yours sure does look good!

Most interesting surprise I got stripping a tote and knob was on a record #3, the tote was walnut and the knob was beech. That explains why the finish was so thick that I felt compelled to strip it, because before I started they were the same color. Pretty good feat.
