>That's just the low opening bid to get things started. If it were mine I'd have played it safe & put a nice hefty reserve on it. It IS rare. Have you ever seen another just like it?

>Saw that one the other day. Looks like someone split a 6,7, or 8 down the middle, narrowed it, shortened it, and then put it back together to make a smoother.

Probably seemed like a good idea at the time...

Pick up this chisel and you'll have a matched set.

"Nice old Chisel, still lots of work left in this one!!!...

And someone actually bid on the thing.

>I saw that one a couple of days ago and decided anything that innovative and interesting just HAD to be in my collection. I haven't bid just yet, but that final minute 'sniper bid' will be mine.

>Supposedly, the old Buck Bros. chisels with the buck logo were properly tempered right up to the buck, so this chisel's got a good 1/4" of life left in it.

>I don't have a problem with anyone's choice of religion, but I tend to duck and cover when someone tell me Jesus loves me as they are trying to sell me something.

Now I wouldn't know a collectible plane if it walked up and bit me, but that clearly ain't a $700 plus user, which is all I'd be interested in.

Cheers,
