I just bought one of these at a swap meet. A little surface rust and a broken handle. Clean break, easily repaired.
Paid $25. I really don't know much about values. How did I do?

Here are some pictures of my planes. The first one is two #5s. The one I payed $25 for is closest.

This next two pics are of a #4, The two #5s , a #5 1/2 and a #6. The #6 is grooved. Both the 4 and 6 have patent dates of "March 05 02", "August 19 02" and "April 19 02" Couldn't find any dates on the others.

All but the one #5 were given to me. Not pictured is a #71 in the box. Also a gift.

One of these days, I'll get around to restoring them, if they are worth it. Whaddaya think?
