'pears to be a Shelton...no big deal..but an interesting design for the blade adjustment...other than the gizmosity value; practically worthless

>Hi Ernie,
Walter's book sez a round sided 605 should be worth $50-$300US but I would think it would be closer to 50 bucks unless it was minty or a type 1.

I once got a round cheek 606 body for free. Was at a MWTCA event and it was under the free tree. I did put a dollar in the donation box for it tho.

>I agree with Roger Nixon - probably a MacAller patent plane. I picked one of those up for $5 some time back because it looked intriguing, but it's clearly a "carpenter's" plane rather than a "woodworker's" plane - suitable for rough work only. See the patent drawing attached.

#14I bought the planes
Ernie Miller *Topeka
>$38 for all 6 so that is $7 for the bed rock if I want to admit paying $7 for a shelton The #7 is the best plane of the bunch bothe it and the 605 are corrigated. I think I did ok but they definatly showed the good side of the planes.
