>Talked to Red,even went over and looked at them.There wasn`t anything extraordinary there.99% of the power tools were Craftsman so I wasn`t surprised to find that the planes were too.

I did pick up a strange old stamped steel TS/belt sander combo machine at the dump and still had it in the truck so I gave it to him.

Bad news though,there`s a fellow here in town that has made afew contacts with the dump hounds.Ol` Red now knows what a Bedrock is,and has a good idea that it`s more valuable than a regular Stanley plane based on what he saw at this guy`s shop.The guy deals tools as a sideline.

I guess nothing lasts forever.Dropping off that weird combo machine made some points with Red so we`ll have to see if the local boys will stick together.This tool dealer is a snowbird.
