How many pre-laterals do you have Charlie?

Nice restore by the way!!

Don, this is only my 2nd or 3rd – can’t recall 100% (if you don’t count the ones with the top of the frog broken off. :-))

I agree, I’d love a complete set of pre-laterials. I’ve got a few transitionals, but no #1-8 yet. They typically sell for more than I’m willing to pay on ebay.

Very nice Charlie!

No pre-laterals here. I’m stuck in the Sargent world,... Types 2,3, and VBM mostly.

Amazing stuff, you extended its lease on life another 130yrs, at least.

Charlie: You really must have a huge collection of hand planes. I would rather use a 130 y. o. tool vs some of the stuff being made today.

Very nice restore.

Nice job Charlie.

Charlie, all those little scratches you put on and through the Stanley coat of arms makes it look even more authentic. Good one…

DKV: Yeah… I probably should have spent more time on getting a mirror finish. :-)

Dam Nice Charlie!

nice! how much would this be on e-bay—-$10,000?

Matt: I went outside my comfort zone and paid $80 for this one. $10k would be a nice profit margin! :-)

Very Nice Charlie. I love old iron like that. I’m always looking, eventually I’ll find a work of art like your Stanley. Pre-Lat.
