Planers, planes and questionable flea market finds.

Nice haul

That spindle, I wish I was closer

I would love to get that working. :)

Don, you’re a dirty, dirty man. That is quite the haul. That kind of day would make my life.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

It is amazing you still have some space left. Nice haul.

Don, I’m with you, I’m baffled. I’m sure you saw the talk about that on the HPOYD forum the other day. Seems like the consensus was type 6 and earlier that had the hole up there??? So why the SW? Maybe a factory screw up?

And very nice haul indeed Don!

maybe someone has a “stamp” sitting in a back room somewhere??? I have irons with Craftsman stamped on it with the hole at the top, and a Worth iron, with the hole at the top. Both seem to be sargents though.

Nice haul anyway…

-- A Planer? I'M the planer, this is what I use

Don that’s what I call a good day out. That motor is a Hoss. Congrats on your haul I can’t wait to see it all working.

That darra&james has a springfield tag on it but i know at one point in time it was in waterbury ct which is where my mother and most of my family grew up and still live. I alomst bouht one of their tablesaws last year. Id love to find the address for it. Most of those old factories are now abandoned in the city but may still stand. Walt over at brass city may have some good info.

For the record, yes I agree, worth every bit of 2 bucks and then some.

How do you find this stuff? I’m soooo envious.

Wow! Are you married, Don? My wife would have divorced me by now if I hauled home half the treasures you do.

married 35 years Charlie. She likes to antique as much as I do. All I can say is I hope you’re right Chris.

I love the 65. That looks sweet even with the faux japanning. One of my personal favorite blockplanes. Nice haul all around. Hell, I thought I was big time scoring with my james swan gouge.
Hawk eye or lucky as …... ? Dont know. Congrats

Don, I’m pretty sure the “140” stamped in the iron means it was made in the 1st quarter of 1940. Oh, NICE GRAB!! on the saw :))

Nice haul as always.
