Had issues with the camera I WAS using to read the card....connects broke.   Ordered a better card Reader...to where I can just insert  the Micro Card  from the main Camera into the Reader, and it stays connected to the computer. 

 

Decided to take a few photos, and get the Reader to talk to my computer....took a while....comes in as a "new" file, right under the "old" one...so, here goes..

Overhead lights are not quite right for this camera...turns things a "Pinkish/Orange" colour....tried to correct it... under this lid is another label..

Matches the one on the plane's iron..

So..lid is opened.

.

This is one of 2 such planes Gene Howe sent me a while back.   Eric Brown down in Dayton,OH does Nickel Plate work...

Assembled, left side view..

And right side view...

These a Sargent No. 79, Type 2 planes, sold by Sears....

Before Sargent went with the round disc nicker....Almost too pretty to use?

 

Camera had issues with the lights upstairs...might be a setting in the camera itself....as the shop is lit via LEDs shop lights...not the Dinning Rooms Incandescent light bulbs.  

 

Just a test drive to get the Card Reader set up with the computer...so far, so good..

 

Looks like it will simplify things once dialed in 

Passing grade, passing grade, passing grade on the test...TEST...TEST....

BTW, that nickel plate looks awesome. Great upgrade....fancy smancy.

That nickle plating looks super awesome Steven.  Bet it cost more than a nickle though...
