I'm still frequently on this site, but it's been a while since I've posted and it's time to clear out a few items I don't use. Up for sale is a new Veritas Medium Shoulder Plane, including the original box. While this plane has not been used, it was subject to some moisture/water while still wrapped in the protective (oil-coated?) paper, so there was some surface rust and there is a little bit of pitting on the sides, but it doesn't affect the plane at all. The A2 blade is as new and has not been sharpened. All hardware and screws are in good condition and move freely. Attached are multiple pictures of the plane taken today, but if you need more or have any questions, please ask.
Asking $167.00 shipped (CONUS). Check, money order, PayPal accepted.

From the Lee Valley Website:
The Veritas medium shoulder plane is proportioned for versatility; it measures 7" long by 11/16" wide and weighs 2 lb. The ductile cast iron body is accurately machined and ground so that the sole and sides are flat and square.
If you have ever used or even held a traditional shoulder plane, you will appreciate how this plane comes to hand. The unique lever cap with a pivoting knob lets you adjust the plane to fit your hand and preferred holding style. The concave knob rests in the web of your hand, giving you a secure grip without the need of a vise-like pressure.
The through-hole in the body adds to grip security but has to be experienced to be understood. The plane’s adjustable toe lets you narrow the mouth for very fine shavings with minimum tear-out. The low bed angle of 15° combined with the 25° blade bevel results in a cutting angle of 40° for exceptional end-grain cutting performance. Set screws along the side let you accurately position the blade and require no adjustment when replacing the blade after sharpening.
Blades are lapped, 1/8" (0.125") thick, and come in A2, O1 or PM-V11 tool steel.
