Bruce, a MN galoot
>I'm making a dulcimer for a machinist buddy, and he stopped by the shop late yesterday afternoon to check out the progress. He had just been to a garage sale and wanted to know if this plane he found was worth anything.
Stanley #8C, Type 8 (I think), very good to excellent condition, light rust on blade (which is almost full length), no pitting, great patina, 98% japanning.
$3. At least he had the good grace to not find it next door to my house.
