October 25, 20169 yr Popular Post So you never know from one weekend to the other what you'll find nor year-to-year. This year's festival where I typically go had several new vendors from years past and some of the "old-timers" didn't show. Decent selections depending on what you were looking for (or not looking for), but prices were much steeper; Quantity was there; quality not so much... Here's what followed me home.... Stanley 41Y, far left...$3; Miller Falls #100- $2, K-D tapered hand reamer $1; "kids" egg beater drill $1; Rugol Block plane in original box, paid $10 -- Stanley handle and cap really rough like it had laid in moist debris for years but had 6 bits two were 1/16"; one new other broken about 1/2 way down -- M-F (Buck Rodgers) 6 bits in original pack, not the splines type, but straight; there are some in the handle, but need to lubricate & free up to get to rotate -- K-D Tools (Automotive) reamer is new with minor surface rust on edges; will clean up easy with Scotch Brite & WD40 -- Eggbeater drill needs some serious cleaning, but does rotate; No markings other than Made in USA; I suspect it is from a Child's Tool set. Once cleaned up likely will go to my oldest grandson with a small set of H-F bits. -- Block plane has seen some use, but not much. Similar to a Stanley 220, but iron is thicker; tote know threads on but different than Stanley also I'd never heard of Rugol Tools; I DID NOT need another block plane, but it had the original box and is in very good condition and was sitting on the shelf all by itself Only paid $10 for it Same booth had a few Stanley 220's totally rust they had priced $6-8 /ea Note the original marked price of $2.95 on box lid corner Appears to be painted vs Japanning but a heavy enamel based paint; from what little I've found so far about Rugol, this is probably from the 1950's to maybe early 1960's era???? Minimal rust on blade iron or mouth openinig Still learning how to use new phone camera features; sorry for blur; little more rust on this side of iron; sole and sides of plane light surface rust; should spruce up very nicely; there are some scratches from light use on sole; iron appears to have original edge; no dings, burrs or the like; appears to be 250 angle...looking forward to "scary sharp" edge
