Stanley #45 - Big Bill - 07-30-2021
I was headed home after work & stopped at an estate sale just because... Was just about to leave when a kid knocked over the box this was in, dumping this all over the floor- a Stanley #45 with a complete (nearly?) set of cutters!
![[Image: 1f973.png]](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t6d/1/16/1f973.png){kind=small}
$40 later it followed me home! The 1914 Stanley Catalog says it came with 21 cutters (which this has) but I need to clean it up & verify the styles. I'm trying to find out anything I can about this, if I'm missing anything, date of manufacture, type, etc. ![[Image: 222771776_10216354929304216_470398324558...e=6129488E]](https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/222771776_10216354929304216_470398324558512486_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=Jhbh9NNOnYsAX-LqrQu&tn=rsM4Vgh0TlUrnbLM&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=344818e3553d67a85a900ba03052532d&oe=6129488E)

You have a bonus as well. I see a set of hollow and rounds as well!
Congrats, great find.

Good deal! Now you need to build a replica box for it-never mind I've been going to do that for years

Don't feel bad. I am in the same mind set concerning my #55....

Good find.
Some people don't like them. I sure like mine.

It has been a while since I remember seeing a competition here.
How about seeing how many WNers can get their boxes built for their #45/#55 this year?
Perhaps we could find a prize for whoever builds the best one (by popular acclimation or by dome judging panel TBD).

As long as I leave the short rods in place....plane will sit down in the box as is....no need to tear it down...
