the dunlap is made by millers falls. those grooves are called a corregated sole. craftsman some of them were made by stanley after the war thought they would have gotten rid of the corregated sole before then though. I have a few planes and have learned some about them since getting them. you can generally tell who made a plane by the frog http://www.brasscityrecords.com/toolworks/graphics/plane%20id.html

The price was right & perhaps now you’ve taken the first step that leads you to the “slippery slope” of plane collecting. Oh sure, you’ll call yourself a “user”, but after you get 20 or 30 or…100, you might begin to wonder about that as you slide headlong down into the deep precipice weighed down by a plane in each hand.

If you haven’t yet found these sites, they’re worth a look.

The Dunlop plan was sold by Sears an Roebuck. My father bought one after WWII when he worked in the local Sears hardware department. He let me use and abuse it as a kid. As an adult I’ve used i on every project. Recently I gave Grandpa’s plane to my son. I expect it will get many more years of satisfying use.

I passed on (3) planes at an auction this weekend – sold for 37 bucks – (2) stanleys – a # 2 & a block plane

Hey, nice planes. You have a good buy. I believe that I purchased nearly all of my planes on Ebay except for the ones that I bought when I bought my first tools back in 1971. I assume that you bought these nearby since you didn’t say Ebay. A local estate auction is a good place to buy tools because you get to see them before you buy. Great Buy!

WOW you legally stole those tools! From the pictures they look to be in really good shape. They should last for many years. Enjoy.
