RE: Stanley No. 1 - Elite160 - 12-11-2018
I've been seeing an old Stanley No 2 on Craiglist near me for $140. What's one of them worth?

I've seen them in antique shops from between $250 and $400 depending on condition. $400 was a corrugated.
I think $140 would be worth looking at, and maybe buying.

OK, I can't stand it, I'll take it.
Bob, I'd like to buy a blade from you, send me a PM.

Thank God! Now I don't have to fret about it.

Not to hijack the thread. This is the plane in question. Not sure why I'd have need for a No. 2.

Wow, check out the business end of the plane blade. Looks as if he tried to make it a scrub plane.

Yeah I saw that too and thought the same thing. Very curved looking iron. Wasn't sure that's what it was at first.

You can also quit drumming your fingers on the desk.

Glad someone else picked this up. I just couldn't get the nerve up to spend that kind of money on myself right before Christmas. I got a few things on Cyber Monday (Lee Valley), my first tool from Woodpeckers (small square), and though I would like a No 1, I didn't want the consequences. I thought about saying it was a present for the kids.
I've even thought about one of the reproduction ones, but if I go that route, it would have to be something that would retain value.
