Pretty good deal.

That Craftsman joiner was probably made by Stanley. Pics would help. If you take the plane apart and look on the underside of the frog, you might find “Stanley” engraved.

That is the way an old Craftsman joiner I had was.

BTW: I sold my 18” Craftsman Joiner (Smooth sole) plane on ebay, about a year ago. It sold for $45 plus shipping. So, if the planes are in good shape, you got a good deal.
