A beautiful Stanley/Bailey 5 1/2 plane with a rust and pit free base and finish baked on.  The base has been lapped flat using diamond plate and different grits of sand paper on plate glass.  The rosewood knob & rosewood tote have been refinished and have very nice gain and color.   The full-length "Hickory"  logo blade and chip breaker have no rust and the blade has been sharpened scary sharp using diamond plate and Japanese wet stones at 25 degrees.   The frog has the large brass depth adjusting wheel.  The Stanley key hole lever cap is smooth to the touch and has no edge problems. The lever cap has 2 1/4 stamped on the back.  Overall, this plane is tuned and shop ready.
