First we have a Stanley #3 smoother, Type 18, immmediately post war, 1946-47, made when Stanley still gave a darn. As you can see from the pics, it performs well; I prepared the iron properly, and mated the chipbreaker, both on my Tormek. The sole had some rust from sitting on some newspaper in a garage for 40 years, so I lapped it, and some minor evidence remains, but as you can see it does not affect use. Other apology is a previously repaired tote crack, still solid, otherwise its 100% mechanically and will make someone a good user. $40 plus shipping.  Teaser pic:

Next is a 6" divider, made by Browne & Sharpe, top manufacturer, many machinists prefer over Starrett, #800, excellent condition, zero apologies. Price a new Starrett and you'll see the value. Great for laying out dovetails. Yours for $18 plus shipping.  Teaser pic:

I don't have paypal, so payment old school by USPS money order; first PM gets priority. Quality user tools that I would own, priced reasonably. Please include in your PM your full shipping address so I can quote postage and also print up mailing labels. Thanks for looking.

I've got about 7 people in line for the dividers, so they are gone, and awaiting confirmation on shipping for the #3, so thanks to all for looking.
