>I had a ball browsing antique/junque stores over the weekend. Picked up a great 4C SW with very few blemishes, (95+% japanning, 95+% plating and 95+% red/orange paint on the cap logo). $15 didn't seem too steep - especially after passing by broken and cheap-o planes asking $35 and more. And it was sitting right next to a pile of overpriced tools. I guess you just never know.

>While I'm always on the lookout for useful tools (picked up a rusty but decent hand truck this weekend), half the time anymore it's the thrill of the hunt that causes the brakes on my car to lock up at the scent of rust.

Nice buy, and the No. 4 is a right useful size.
