August 17, 201312 yr  And a cute little plane it is, tooStanley #103, with a SW iron on it.  Cost a whopping $1sitting next to a Stanley #110.  the item that makes this a 103 instead of a 102 is that lever to adjust the depth with.  As for the other items in this latest hunt. well, everyone has seen a Stanley powerlock tape measure, so I will leave that out. next item needed belts, and a set of three belts cost more than this didThose 1" x 30" belts were $5.35 counting tax.  this little toy cost me $5.   Not too bad, though. I did pick up a firmer chisel for a buck along with that tape measure, $4 total for the twoGee, another 3/4" wide chisel .... Planer? I'm the 'planer', and these are what I use...
August 17, 201312 yr Man you find the best deals. I can't ever find one of those here for a buck.I'm going to have to send you my wish list and let you find them.

August 17, 201312 yr Author Using the sander quite a bit, comes in handy on totes.   The #103 is a very nice little apron plane, might just keep it around. The firmer chisel is the first one that I have managed to find around here.   Might try to find a set of them...Planer?

August 17, 201312 yr My rust hunt last evening was a good one, but I can't beat the deal Steve got. I picked up this Disston hand saw a D-23 1940-1947 model. Not a real old saw but it is older than I am so.... Someone has already done some cleaning on it and you can just see the Keystone logo with the D-23 in the middle. And you can just make out in large letters, DISSTON in an outline letter. There is a chip from the top of the handle and the medallion was so rust I cleaned it this morning to see what model this was. The medallion dates in the 1940-1947 range. And it is stamped with 11 on the blade. I gave 5.00 for the saw. Then I ran across this BAILEY No.5. It was pretty dirty and grimy. BAILEY ON THE TOP and The number on the Heel. Mar 02 and Aug 02 Patent dates behind the frog. Lever Cap is stamped with the "B" foundry mark on the back. But then the problems with it. The Lateral Adjust Lever is another of the twist type on the back and it is loose. And I have never seen a tote like this or a repair made like this. And it is on the front side also. The split is all the way around the tote but has the box joint type fix to it. The last thing that doesn't fit the timeline is the Iron. I believe it has been changed out with a Stanley SW that would not have been released until 1925-1933. The frog, patent dates, lever cap stamps put it at 1902 but a blade that is 23 years older. Oh well. I will still clean it up and see how it goes. It also has the corrugated bottom. And when I got home last night the Lateral Adjustment lever for the No.18 was here. So that was my rust hunt this week. I spent 15 dollars where Steve spent a good bit less. Man I got to find some good deals.
