If it's in good shape, buy it. IMHO, A block plane and a #5 are the most
useful planes to have. Clean it up, tune it and you will have a good plane
there.

Hello Woodies:

I have found an old plane with these markings on it. Bailly no 5 Stanly
,it
is close to 12" in length. I have just really gotten into
wood work and wonder if it would be useful on some projects. It is priced
at $22.00 Can. Would anyone care to comment?
