April 4, 20233 yr Popular Post comment_311939 Out and about, today...trying to find ONE Antique store that was open....in a town with 5 stores? Even the Plaza Inn was closed, today? There is a store right across the road (St Rt 31) that was open..IF you called the number on the front door...as she lives around in the back... had to sneak the package into my house, when I got home The Infamous "Plain Brown Wrapper"....$26 and change... Going to open it real slow....$10 for a single point marking gauge? But, turn it over, and there is 2 more very sharp pointy things.....Brass thumbscrews...not sure IF this is Walnut, or, Rosewood.... Unroll a little bit more.. $15.00 says the tag.....A patent date on the lever? That would be 10 - 12 of 1897.... Old logo, too... Appears to be a low angle block plane...with an adjustable mouth... A look under the hood...You just don't see wide beds like that, anymore...Thinking this MIGHT be a Stanley No. 60-1/2? Made before Stanley decided to stamp the plane number somewhere... Town is called Mount Victory,OH... Report

April 4, 20233 yr comment_311945 The two "sharp pointy things" to mark preset mortise/tenons maybe?? Report
April 4, 20233 yr Author Popular Post comment_311947 Yep..adjusted to the thickness of the tenon, too... Report
April 5, 20233 yr Author Popular Post comment_311969 Apparently...that be a #77 Marking gauge... Stanley liked the handle bars.... As for the No. 65? Have a #60-1/2 in the shop... It's the Runt on the right... Old vs new style... Report
April 5, 20233 yr comment_311970 Awesome scores on both counts Wasn't aware the "65" was that much wider. Enough bulk to square an edge. Report
