Question  10-05-2017, 11:56 PM
I found one, now I own it.  What have I got?  A transitional smoother 8" long with a 1 3/8" iron.  Really nice condition.

I have one and hope to get the other 3.  I just love them because of what they meant the 100 year celebration.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

They are decent planes, with a cool story. Not highly collectible, nor valuable. There's 4 sizes (IIRC) in the full set. Folks who see mine love them, but they fall a little short on ease of use compared to the Bailey's.

They are neat, though.

Thanks guys. Don't ask me how, years of not seeing a transitional that wasn't solid gold in the seller's mind, I now have a half dozen awaiting some TLC.
