  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]  $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]

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).
