>Hi Jack

There is one in the Studley Toolchest!

I did a review of the Veritas version. Link below.

I now have the two squirrel tail block planes that have been based on this, and will later produce a review of these as well.

LV Little Victor review

>Jack, While I have never seen one "in the wild" I have bid on two or three on the 'bay, and have seen the winning bid go as high as $150.00. I would presume that they are popular with collectors,and fairly rare in this day and age. Even looking through the many flea markets I have visited, I have never seen one IRL.

>Jack,

I've had a few over the years, and am currently down to just one. They will typically bring anywhere from $150 to $1000 or more for the rare nickel-plated ones.

I also bought a LV version. It's a very high quality tool. The color wouldn't be MY first choice, but that can be changed ;^) -wayne

>That answers my question. The one at the museum is perfect except fot the black spray paint it's covered in.The people who set up this collection weren't very knowledgeable about tools.Alot of tools were either spray painted or laquered. I guess it's a good thing. The paint kept rust at bay. A few of us have just begun to reorganize this particular building in the museum.It will be used for woodworking demos in the warm months of the year.---Jack

>"...this particular building...will be used for woodworking demos in the warm months of the year."

I never realized that Maine residents were able to use the phrase "warm month" in the plural. Of course, I guess it's relative; does "warm" in this context mean "no visible frost on the ground?"

>Sorry for the typo. I meant "warmer" months. And yes,that means no frost.

about as rare as a 101 1/2

>How long before LV comes out with a copy of the 101 1/2?

Now that would be cool.

>Hi -

That one's actually more of hybrid, than a copy...

We used the elegant blade-fixing mechanism from the Little Victor, and also changed the radii on the sole...

The pair have an introductory price until the 24th of this month.

Cheers -

Rob
