Yard Sale find...

[bandit571]

Stopped at a few sales, today....only spent $5...on one item....

[attachment=20542]
Seller wanted $10 for a #3 sized hand plane....I got the price down to $5, because of the broken Lever cap....I might have a spare..

[attachment=20543]
Will just have to do...for now...lets see...
[attachment=20544]
Sole could stand a good cleaning..

[attachment=20545]
Guess the frog could too....back of the frog had a surprise, or two...

[attachment=20546]
And...3 patent dates.   Wasn't any on the lateral lever....just a STANLEY stamped into it...
[attachment=20547]
Toe has a Rosewood knob, a "NO"  and a "3" in front of the knob....and a BAILEY behind the knob...

Cleaned the iron a bit, to see what the logo was...

[attachment=20550]
Not too bad, for 1/2 price?   Seems to be a type 11?   Depth adjust wheel is 0.990"....aka 1"Both handles are solid, no breaks or chips.   Both are Rosewood. 

I paid the fellow, and got back in my van...and drove to the next sale....may use tomorrow to clean & sharpen?

Stay tuned

Nice catch! 

We avoid this type of sale--wife is setting up her own sale and has been all summer. I'm rounding up all our old yard catches for her's. Tools aren't something I need as she is eyeing all my boxes that never were organized from the last cleanup. She is demanding more garage space, what I have pushed against for 40 years and stopped my organization cold a year ago.

The headaches of garage sales!

Was messy inside..

[attachment=20582]
Got all the parts off..
[attachment=20583]
And started cleaning....then got out the sharpening stuff
 
[attachment=20584]
Even have a stone for chipbreakers...

[attachment=20585]
And, even ran the strop, on both the iron, and the chipbreaker...then set the chipbreaker 2mm back from the edge 
 
[attachment=20586]
Got the frog all cleaned up, including all the bolts, and got it set up where it needed to go.. 

[attachment=20587]
Got the rest of the parts cleaned up, and installed back onto the plane, threads were given a drop of 3in1 oil.  Japanning was wiped down with a bit of the oil.  Sole was cleaned, and flat.   sides were cleaned up...about time ti test drive....was out of the easy to plane Pine, got out some Ash, and did a face grain run...
 
[attachment=20588]
Not too bad, for just 2 hours in the shop...
 
[attachment=20589]
Apparently, the plane had laid on it's side....had a bit of pitting..
 
[attachment=20590]
I don't think it will hurt anything...
[attachment=20591]
Just a $5  hand plane, anyway..
   Stanley No. 3, Type 11.....about 115 years "young"


  may I look this good, at that age

was intended!
