>Mark,
Overall #5's aren't all that valuable mostly go at flea markets for between $5-10 here in Florida. Coarse, those are in "as found" condition i.e. rusty, and cracked totes. Most seller don't know one type from another, so that is usually not a consideration. all they know is that if it is a handplane is is old.
Now, with that said, what type is it? A type 1 would be more valuable than say a type 11.
I'd say that if it was in really nice condition and not a early one than $25-30 tops. 4's and 5's where made by the ka-jillions and for the most part will never be worth all that much.

>Todd,
Are we talking Stanley or Buckeye? I understand that although the Buckey brand was never a "high end" unit, they had somevalue just based on their rarity. I can't imagine that they made milliions of this model.
Thanks

>Yup, your right Mark, I was in fact thinking of Stanley. Sorry for the bum dope.
Buckeye, hmmmmmmmmmm, don't think I've ever seen one. Can you post a pic of it?
What's the major differences between it and a Stanley?

In Roger Smith's PTAMPIA, vol.I, pgs 216 & 217, he says, "Judging by the few specimens known....". I would take this to mean that the Buckeye plane is not too common. -Wayne

>Mark,
Buckeye manufactured a "patented" plane with a cutter adjustment designed by John Muehl. The patent was issued in 1904. This information was found in Datamp and, as Wayne noted is also available in Roger Smith's PTAMPIA. The same plane was also marketed by Shapleigh Hardware under the label of DE or Diamond Edge.
I've seen these planes at tool shows with $150.00 or so price tags, but can't say that I've ever noticed that they've sold for that price. Maybe eBay can offer some insight into the "true" value.
