Not from the Dump...

>...Directly.

A co-worker walked in this AM with a box. I asked if she brought us Brownies. "No. But I have something for you."

The Woodie, a Sandusky, is shot. There are three cracks in the body.

The Stanley #12 is in good shape, lots of rust, and the japannng is rough, but it will clean up. It's an early version wo/markings and the Aug 31-58 pat. date. The biggest problem I see is that they sharpened it with a bevel. B&G says it's supposed to have a burr.

The Brass one is a Stanley also, or it has a SR&L Co. Blade in it. No #, didn't see it on B&G. Is there supposed to be a Lever Cap/Chip Breaker on it?

I say it not FROM the dump, but I've given her a lot of items from the dump, so this is a little pay back. She bought them years ago at an Amana Colony auction, when she lived in Iowa.

Insteresting little rabbet shave thingy. It's not a stanley. Looks like a pattern maker (or someone) cast it and put a Stanley blade in it. I've seen them with and with out lever caps. Yours seems to be looking right with out one.

>The scraper is a Type 1 No.12 . You can tell by the non marked base, patent date on the brass nut, and the clipped corners on the edges of the blade. The shave type plane looks like a one off casting from a pattern maker maybe a tool he made for a special purpose. The blade is from a Stanley block plane. Nice scraper find.

>I think the appropriate sharpening for a 12 is a 45 deg bevel, then the burr. The Woodcraft stores used to have a 1 page hand out on sharpening them, very handy.
