Ok all you Galoots, Today I got a Stanley no 95 (type 1) for $35, it is missing the nickel cap adjustment screw. I also got a Stanley 7C (type 15) for $50. It appears to have been well used and taken care of, probably 90-95 percent jappaning. I also got a Stanley 6 (type 14) in a fully loaded carpenter’s toolbox for $35, the tote is broke at the base, and it needs cleaning…... Anybody know the value of these. I”d really like to know before I start cleaning them. Oh yeah that toolbox had a full assortment of auger bits, two bit braces, a craftsman and disston hand saw, a coping saw, two tack hammers, marking gauge, and an assortment of files and rasps, and a wards draw knife. The slippery slope has claimed this one.

The No 7 and 6 are worth a little more than what you paid for them. Clean them up and use them. Properly tuned old Stanleys work just as well as brand new planes sold today. -- http://mvflaim.wordpress.com/

If you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself more involved with hunting for old tools to tinker with and less involved with actual woodworking. I recently got a 113 at an auction. I told the wife I bought it to resell, but…. -- Dave, Colonie, NY
