Title: My best auction so far in 2021
Post by: coolmercury on June 28, 2021, 03:07:33 PM

Bought a three box lot (2 totes and a black old toolbox) for $12.50.  in the toolbox was a Stanley No. 1 plane in good enough condition to restore.  All there, no dings and only surface rust----and very dirty.

Hot damn, a no.1 for $12.50 ?
I don't know a lot about wood planes, and even I know those command an exuberant amount of money and are pretty rare.
