 Very nice article John, you really hit on a treasure. The main thing being your knowing enough about tools to have the curiosity to keep it out of the burn pile.  A rare find like that will keep us all on the lookout.  Thanks for sharing.

Yea John!!! Way to go, buddy.

Very cool ... Way to go John!!!

I need to hang out here more often, I missed your original post

I have one of those too, just a little bit longer and pretty beat up but it looks like the same manufacturer.(need to clean it up better to be able to read it all).

[John Moody]

Wow Shane that does look a lot like it. Better check it out and the one behind it. They made a lot of moulding planes.

Robert not really. It is in pretty good shape, but I don't think it is close to mint. I saw one similar that was around 80.00 but I also saw some that were around 300.00. So I'll have to check a little further.

Right now to me it is priceless.
