On Offer:  A very nice example of a Stanley No. 5, Type 18. Bench Plane in excellent user condition.  Everything on this plane looks nice.  There are only a very few freckles on the iron and a little patina on the sole.  The japanning is 95%, there is a little loss at the heel and toe. The plane has painted wood knob and tote usually found on type 18 planes with the addition of a red racing stripe on the tote.  The previous owner must have been worried about the plane walking away.   The iron has been one small soft of corrosion at one corner that will have to be honed off.  With a little adjustment, this will be a great looking user plane.

Most items I list are vintage or antique and as such are not perfect.  I do my best to describe the item clearly and fairly as regards its condition, but I am not an expert on all the items .  If after reading the description and reviewing the pictures, one has a question on condition, please contact me prior to bidding.  If one purchases more than one item from what I have to offer, I will gladly combine shipping if I can to reduce your shipping cost of the items.
