February 19, 20169 yr Bag it came in had a few holes in it. And what was inside was covered in bubble wrap.....with not a scratch on it.. Sears 107-37031 block plane. just a tad rusty....sides were unfinished and very rough. Sole wasn't too hateful... It did have a Cocobolo knob out in front.. Note the time stamp. Time to get this thing cleaned up, before Supper? Might be a bit better? The nickle plating was just flaking off, Cleaned the rest off. Those rough, painted sides were sanded down a bit. Wiped the grime off the knob. Sole is now cleaned up, and as flat as needed, for a block plane. iron has been rehabbed a bit. it even makes a shaving or two.. So, under all that rust and paint? Meet the Millers Falls No.75 Their version of a Stanley No.220 $9 with free shipping got this thing into the shop. that front knob is full of black and red stripes, Cocobolo wood for a knob. Fancy....
February 19, 20169 yr Man, Steve, you get your patients thru the office faster than my doctor! Nice Job!
February 20, 20169 yr Nice! I have that plane (mine's a 107.37032B) and it doesn't look anywhere as nice as yours. Funny, I didn't notice they had the mocel # engraved on the side until I saw your pic; I wondered who made the plane, thanks for that.
