Hey Jock’s hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, today post is a restored Bailey No.6 patent date Apr.10, this one has the high balloon front Rosewood knob and Rosewood Tote no cracks or repairs. The bottom is a corrugated sole with a nicely flat profile, little flattening on my part. The Japanning is probably in the 85 + range so I decided to leave it alone with minor cleaning. The blade is from the Sweetheart era and has a nice edge. I sorry no before pic’s but this little unit clean up nicely and is performing like a charm. I have multiple of this unit so I think I willing to hear any offers if interested give me a pm offer. Thanks for viewing …BC

That is one sweet cleanup, well done! Looks like most of the characteristics of a Type 13. My favorite.

Wilson, it looks new to me.
I just picked up a Bailey No.4 from a “thrift shop” and hope I can get it looking half as good as this.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice reflections off your hard work on the clean up. Fine shavings tell me you honed that puppy pretty good.

It’s a fine plane will grace someone’s shop.
