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?

Hi,
Sal I've collected Stanley planes for years. If the "tote" or handle
is usable and not too broken up and the front knob is OK and the blade
isn't sharpened down to the point of not having enough left, the price
is in the ball park. There are lots of sites on "tuning up" a plane
if you Google the subject. Of course no broken metal parts permitted.
