Anyway, for the rest of the pics see the Flickr album where you can easily enlarge the pics:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/9433588@N08/albums/72157686141430342

I got a good deal on this one, so it can be yours for the very reasonable price of $40 plus shipping.  18 1/2s in this condition don't come up very often and at this price I don't think it will last long, so if you've got a block plane itch to scratch, start clicking the mouse sooner rather than later.

First PM with an unequivocal "I'll take it" gets priority, and please include your full shipping info so I can quote postage and print up mailing labels.  I don't have paypal or any other EFT technologies, so payment by USPS money order please, unless I know you from the forum then checks are just dandy.

Quality tools ready to go that I would gladly own.  Thanks for looking.

Most people here probably already know, but you can't simply go wrong with anything from Admiral.

Sounds like an even better snag for you 42 years ago.
 

Congratulations on achieving the answer to life, the universe, and everything with LOYL.

Anyway, I must ask. Does that cap have any indication of manufacturer? I have a hybrid MF 53 with identical knuckle cap ... But no identification on it. I think it uses a Craftsman iron. None of Stanley's blades fit. 

Thanks, and another 40 peek-a-boos!
