Rust Hunting at 127 Yard Sale - Gary™ - 08-06-2016 I went out to the 127 Yard Sale yesterday and picked up this plane for $8.00.   Not sure what it is yet.   The mechanism worked freely and it looked in good enough shape to risk $8 on it. RE: Rust Hunting at 127 Yard Sale - BradTheNailer - 08-06-2016 Throw it in some Hydrofluoric acid tonight and it should look as good as new by Monday.  RE: Rust Hunting at 127 Yard Sale - pdb - 08-06-2016 Looks good! Obviously, the blade is a question mark, but even if it's bad, with a LV replacement, you'd still be fine. Is it a #3? Nice pick! RE: Rust Hunting at 127 Yard Sale - Bibliophile 13 - 08-06-2016 You might be able to get it to work, but I would have passed on it.  The stamped lever cap and adjustment knob indicate that it's a cheaply made plane.  I'll bet if you look closely, you'll see that the frog is also stamped instead of cast. RE: Rust Hunting at 127 Yard Sale - Gary™ - 08-06-2016 Probably a #3; the plane is about 9 3/8" long and the blade is 1 3/4" wide. The frog is a metal stamping. The only identifiers are a "U" inside a circle and the "Made in USA". Blade has PEXTO on it. RE: Rust Hunting at 127 Yard Sale - blackhat - 08-06-2016 No matter what, it can not be as bad as the Par Plus that landed here somehow RE: Rust Hunting at 127 Yard Sale - Scoony - 08-06-2016 I went out today and picked up a 3M accuspray gun new in box for $5. Also found 2 copper mugs for Moscow Mules and a few other odds and ends. Saw a Stanley #130 double ended block plane in nice shape for $40. Thought about picking it up, but don't think they are all that popular.
