First Rust Hunt of 2023?
#4
Got a little "Me Time" last weekend...Headed for 2 "Malls" down in Springfield, OH.    Spent just over $100!   For 4 items..

Last item was a Jordan Spiral screwdriver, for $4...
   
Apparently..German Engineering did not feel the need for a spring return? 
   

Next item?
   
$15....for three Starr Co. plough plane irons....
Then..
   
$3 for three Gimlets...2 handled, and the longer one that goes into a Brace Drill...

Finally ..
   
Green arrow points to a keeper.    There is a newer version elsewhere...for $125!   but..
   
For $80?  I think I can manage that...Stanley No. 4-1/2c...Type 11...
   
Has the 3 dates, has the low front knob..small wheel, frog adjust bolt...
   
A "groovy" sole...and..
   
The "triangle" logo....and STANLEY on the lateral lever......only defect I found?   Beside the iron having a "Reverse Camber"...was a small nick in the tote's horn.

I did take quite a few other pictures...if anyone wants to see them...overall, not too hateful of a day?

That's a nice looking plane.  

You know we are always looking for more pics around here.

Most came from Heart of Ohio Antique Center...in Harmony, OH...east of Springfield, OH on US40...
   
Cheap saws?  $50 and $80?
   
$100 to $125?
   
Already have TWO of those #45s....and I did NOT pay the $345 for either one
   
Rule #1: IF it is locked up in a glass display case...walk on by...
   
Anybody need one?
   
That plane in the red circle....main stock, sliding stock, 2 rods..for a Stanley No. 46....and nothing else....$45?

The next couple are from Springfield Antiques...on Titus Rd...

Got that same one, hanging up in my Tool Cabinet...didn't  need it's twin..
   
Too much work..for $35?
   
Hmmm, not all there?
   
Found the Jordan in this mess..
   
"Top Shelf"?

IF you go to these 2 stores...be prepared to walk..a LOT....and spend the entire day between the 2....have fun!
