So since the weather outside is NOT delightful with 6" +/- of snow AND sub-zero temperatures back to my picture archives for some 2017 picks...

 

During one of my visits earlier this year at the Flea Market "Warehouse" as I was foraging through some totes, I ran across this...since it had Veritas on it, no brainer, I had to have it even though I was clueless at the time exactly what it was...BUT it was clearly marked Veritas...anyway you get the point, right?

 

Any guesses assuming you didn't cheat looking at the tags? In the same bin was this 1/2" shank x 1/2" dia., 2 flute pattern bit...mainly flash surface rust

 

Bottom view...seen one, got one?

 

Cutter has some barnacles on it and some pitting, BUT it's a Veritas. I did get the rust cleaned off everything before winter set in but no further...

Stay tuned next Spring (78d 9h 8m 01sec) for the final result

 

Figure it out yet?  Keep scrolling if you're still awake...

 

So, all three items that day I spent a total of $3.25 with tax...makes each item at approximately $1.0833333333...guess I didn't over pay?

 

No doubt you guessed a Veritas Invisible Nail "Plane" A few months back Veritas still had a picture and description of the tool in the on-line catalog but as NLA.

Used to hide nails in molding & trim work. Obviously before 'super-glue" Last selling price was $19.99.

 

I did find THIS PDF instruction sheet still available from Lee Valley...Thanks for playing along. Now back to your regularly scheduled Sunday afternoon nap.

I was going to say Chisel Plane of some sort, but once I got the bottom, I remembered seeing the nail hiding plane on the Veritas website, it's an ingenious little tool! Thanks for sharing Dave!

Never heard of or seen one Dave.  Very cool,

Cal

I've not seen one either. Nice acquisition......and no, you didn't pay to much.
