>The 131 has the adjuster that flips over also; the 130 has a much simpler lever cap that is just engineered to work at both ends of the plane. The 131 is not nearly as common as the 130, and fetches a respectable price, I would say between $100 and $200. I think Walter lists it at $150 - $350.

>I have sold a couple of these and it is one of those planes that is very hard to get close to "Book"....probably because not much interest to a user and not one of the more desirable collector planes either. Not to many people get up in the morning thinking " Gee hope today is the day I get that 131!"

The type 1 is worth a good bit more [was only made 1 year if I remember right] and probaly would sell much better.

..I would replace the front knob befor selling it as one from a common 120 is the same....If not a type 1 and not in excellent plus condition not worth alot realisticaly. Personaly I think you are looking at around a $30-$40 plane tops in the condition you describe ......Todd

Thanks for the info

>I don't even know what type # it is. Oh well, it may just sit around for a while until I can hunt it down and find a replacement knob.

Moses, yup, it is the 131 with the flip-over adjuster.

Pam, I haven't touched my flat work tools since I got a lathe over a year ago. Actually, I am in the middle of trying to liquidate a few things that don't get used over on the classifieds. Truth is, I'm having too much fun with the spinning stuff. Don't worry, I am keeping a bare-bones tool kit of good neanderthal stuff.

Cheers,

>You can get a new knod from a 220 or alike plane. If I remember correctly they go for around $100.00 on the bay.
