Hand planes...found for a bargain, learning how to refurbish them... #2: Stanley #255 ?
Today I cleaned up the smaller plane from yesterday…still not completely satisfied, but it will do. I then tackled a vintage Stanley7”. Inside it is marked “C 255” and has an “x” and a “2” below that (it’s covered by the iron). Back has “Made in USA”. The blade is marked “Stanley No. 220 (13-220A) Made in USA”. Not sure if it’s actually a Stanley plane, but no matter…I have several this size that I’ve picked up and this one had the adjustment on the back, so I went with this one. There was a mild amount of rust, and I didn’t do a full restoration, just cleaned it up to make it useable....
