>Found an American Boy block plane in so-so condition at the flea market today,and for the asking price I passed on it. Got to wondering if it was something of a "real find" tho. Had American Boy in raised letters on the rear of the body. Thought about buying it, but than again I got to thinking that I've got enough block planes. So, did I pass up a jewel?

>They aren't all that uncommon or of very good quality. A boatload of them have crossed ebay over the last few years & they only bring pocket change. IMHO consider them a novelty, not an investment.
