Now a bunch of German/European woodies. All of these need some tuning as is typical of wooden planes, none of them were personally set up or used by me so I cannot vouch for their immediate usefulness. All are sound though, and should need little if any serious work beyond sharpening and a quick touch of the sole to put into use.
First, two of the nicest wooden jointers I've seen. Both are massive and come in around 25" in length, have tight totes and excellent irons with lots of life left and little significant pitting. Both of these should clean up great. I can't ID the makers, but they are almost certainly either French or German. The lighter of the two has the screw-feed adjustment on the cap iron common on the French Peugeot-Freres planes that have been discussed recently in handtools forum. I would like $50 each for these, plus postage.
The second jointer plane:
Zwei Kirsche (Two Cherries) smoother with what I believe to be a lignum sole, good shape but will need fettling $35:
There are more to come but the current image limit makes a long post difficult. Thanks for looking!
