You certainly can't go wrong with the millers falls. They are excellent.

A man called me and said he had some old wood planes his father had if I was interested in looking.

I forgot to put this thread on my watch list and had been missing it since I usually watch the forums not blogs for activity. Great stuff here. Garret, you found some great stuff, what I want to know is how you get people to call you with rust hunt finds.

I just put an add on kijiji that I was looking for antique hand tools. The only problem with putting an add out that you want them is that people want more for them.

Okay….from an antique show half-way up the province, in Neepawa, Manitoba, farm country today:

A Record #078, needs little to work,

A fine Stanley #65

An early Yankee #41 drill, with bits, box and instructions, probably never used,

A Record #311 Rabbet/Tenon plane, nice…

Another for my collection of "asbestos" brand sad-irons for the shop, handy!

Best of all: Record #078: $12, Stanley #65: $60, Yankee: $30, Record #311: $15!!! Asbestos $5. Yee-haw!

Did somebody mention "Este"?

Here's a few shots of my one-and-only Este. Cutter is stamped "Made in West Germany". Has an overall feel and look of a Dunlap plane of the same vintage. Undoubtedly part of the effort to rebuild free Germany's industrial economy after WWII. On a scale of 1-10, this plane is not a keeper…LOL.

Garrett: You should re-word your ads. You are 'breaking the spell' if you advertise that way. Sorta like looking thru somebody's junk jewelry and asking if they have any Sterling, for example. If you want to find this stuff, cheaply, you have to sneak up on it. Otherwise, people will think you're a shady dealer, and put their defenses up.

My 2 younger daughters who like to go rust hunting with me were out to the second hand store today and found me a new plane. I got home and they had it wrapped as an "early Birthday gift." It is number 2 sized and in incredible shape! Extremely rust resistant and rare too! It even makes good shavings…Hehehe! I didn't know that B and D ever made planes. There were a lot of laughs had by all with this one. I just had to share!

The other two are a Stanley 5 1/2 and Sargent low angle block plane that I found recently at the local haunt. These are the real deal.

The little rust hunters!

Very nice (and early) #5 1/2, and the Sargent is a fave. Great user plane. Congrats on the helpers, too. Wonderful smiles.

Two particularly nice planes, and one priceless memento. That B&D will shine brightly in your memory.

Holy moly on the badass record rabbet/shoulder plane for fiddeen smackers! That thing looks mint, poopiekat! Plus great snag on the others too!

Thanks, Bucket!
I looked that #311 all over for 15 minutes, looking for cracks and other damage. Other than needing an edge, it's perfect. Great deals are so rare in my neck of the woods, I'm suspicious of anything priced cheep…

good score on the #5 1/2, Bundoman! I thought I scored the cheeziest plane in the world, but your B&D out-cheeses mine!

It was this past wednesday afternoon. I was plotting a Craig's list course for estate sale treasure on Friday, when lo and behold, I saw a barn sale for wednesday. The pictures looked promising. I was at work, but I called the guy and he said he'd remain open for a while so i could browse. I then confirmed it was an actual barn, not an antique"barn" He said I wouldn't be disappointed.
So I get there, and there's miscellanious all over the ground. A large barn in decent shape stands at the back of a small meadow. To the left sits the rotting remnants of a longish workshed? Chicken coop? not really sure.
Of course, that's the "barn" he meant. So i checked out some things outside, and then dove into the rotting structure. I had my estate sale light with me, but the proprieter was helpful with 100 watt bulb in a worklight. He mentioned people dhad been there all day, but with all the piles i saw, i couldn't imagine that all the good stuff was gone. And it wasn't. behind two pieces of plywood lay a large bar/console thing that hadn't been touched. One half was PILED with stanley planes, several boxes of chisels, misc tools and squirrel crap. LOTS of squirrel crap. And nuts. and more crap. You get the picture.
I dug out a crusty number 08, but he was asking 75 for it. Some of the prices were good, to me that was a little too much for a rusty 08 that probably needed a new blade, definitely new tote, and too rusty to make sure there were no cracks. I passed. We talked a bit. He made a me a good deal on one box of chisels, but wanted a very high price for the other. He was honest that he was high, but to be fair they were good chisels.
after some haggling I walked out of there with this box of chisels, an unmarked backsaw, a really nice broad ax, and two small late 19th century metal lathes. for a c note.

There were several James Swan chisels, some Anton bergs, and a few stanleys. Oh, and the Coco-bola straight edge (pictured) on top of the broad ax head in the last picture above. That cleaned up BEAUTIFUL.!
My favorite chisel is a w. Butcher paring chisel. Long, straight, and slender with no bends or defects.

A fairly productive week..

a trio of chisels, what I think is a home bent cranked one, an Unilma 1" that says Bracht on the back of the blade, 1" wide.

Added the copper ferrel, a 3/4" Sweedish guy with the tuna logo, Easaberg ? A homebuilt pull gouge/chisel, made from a file with a screw on file handle, slight touch up and whee, scrape/cut very nice. That lot for 10 dollars.
Then a storied trio..Garage sale, blitzed at 8 this morning to check it out, turns out to be a class mate from school, his dad ran a rafter/truss and beam shop for decades here.
Two push drills, one his dad's a North Bros Yankee, the other his Stanley (with drill points, dad's was empty) 5 bux each..cool, now I've got more bits and a replacement for the German "Hoppe" brand currently in the kit.

AND… a Starrett combo square, his dad's, pattent Dec 27 1904, it was an 18" but somewhere lost a bit, now about 15 1/2 ", both vials are gone , this will replace the 16" combo I bought from L/V that my youngest seems to have addopted for his hot rodding of his wife's '57 Ford pickup.
12 bucks the three. Love turning up the old Starrett stuff, this one's logo is the L.S.S. Co, even at 100 years young all the rule markings are crisp, easy to read, who ever broke the tip off the rule cleaned it up nicely, and there are screws to insert the vials (wherever they may be found) unlike the putty/cement type mounts.

Nice finds there, Glen!! Any Eskiltuna chisel is a grab for that price, and I'm really getting a thing for Yankee (and equivalent) pushdrills. Are you at the stage where need to expand your toolchest storage yet?

Fumehappy- quite the chisel haul, love the lathe, and that broad axe whould make a lovely left handed camponion to my right handed one.

Poopiekat- that este is the same one it was there again today and I left for something better again.

This weekend I found another #48 this time in nickel $25.00, I also found the missing chisel to a set of eskiltuna chisels that were in a barn I cleaned out for $2.00. And also picked up a saw set. I recently picked up a saw sharpening vise only markings were 1581 on the side and have a couple handsaws I'd like to sharpen.

Garett: Far be it for me to discourage anyone from buying any plane… but I see these Este planes on eBay all the time…without bids. Only reason I own one is due to my fascination with European plane Edsels.
