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.

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
