Ok, the iron/steel planes first...
Rolleyes
   
Shelton No. 18
   
And the Millers Falls No. 900
   
Rear handle was cracked, and taped up.
No   Removed the tape, glued the parts back together...
Winkgrin  
   
Sharpened the iron so it could make some shavings....
Tried to rehab one of the French planes...
No  
   
This was as good as I could get it....was just too much wrong with that 1875 wood body....too much wear & tear...

Next episode coming right up ( not boring anyone?
Rolleyes ) Stay tuned

Ok, episode three....Remember all these treasures  cost me a whopping $9....
Rolleyes 
The Richardson Brothers No. 8 saw, all cleaned up..
   
Did NOT need sharpened.
Winkgrin   Shined the brass a bit..
   
Note that they used a smaller bolt for the bottom one?   They called it an "Extra Rivet" 
   
Tried to "clock" the slots.....medallion one seemed to be in a different "Time Zone"

Gave up on the first French plane....second one is still be worked on....may need a new wedge..
   
Bit fancier..has two logos
Cool 
   
One for the iron, one for the chipbreaker.  Wedge is lopsided, too slick, too beat up.....after a trip or two along a board, I needed to adjust the cutter....wedge kept sliding out.
Upset   I have some Hard Maple to use for a new wedge....we'll see. 

Not too bad of a haul, for $9 ?
Confused

Cool! It's fun to watch other people collect and hoard, too. Mine is just everything....

The French planes will probably be cutting to the left constantly. Good haul, but could you tell if the owner was a previous woodworker or was he just somebody who collected things? Pretty rare in these parts to see any European tools.
