>With out seeing the planes a little hard to do but....

1] Union no.8 probably a $50 plane...if really nice with a long blade might be able to get $65 if you promote it well

2] Stanley no.7...Going with the assumtion that it is a pre war plane and in good condition...Probably a $35 -$40 plane

3] the 424 is a Sargent, should be marked on the blade and probably a $25-35 plane

Maybe they are "worth" more....and I would expect to be able to buy them for less in the wild...but I think at these prices you will sell them. Take a look on the ebays completed auctions to get an idea what they are worth. If you list them there at the opening bid of $5 and no reserve you will find out too, eh?......Todd

Beg to differ, Todd...

>If I recall correctly the '03 Union patent is for the vertical post adjustment feature, which means this plane is much more collectable than your average Union (which are great planes, btw). Some guy has had the same plane BIN on ebay for $390 forever-probably much too high-but I would wager this plane in the condition described would fetch at least $200 if marketed well on ebay.

You are right... *LINK*

>and probably spot on as to worth...I actually have a couple of these but never thought about it because you don't see to many of these Union "X" planes. Here is a nice no.5 that sold on ebay that shows what they look like... Todd
