I see a No. 6 plane will be auctioned locally. It just says No. 6 in front
of the knob. I couldn't locate any other proprietary marks (maybe it was
made by Stanley for the Bridge Tool Co.)?

It doesn't look as good as the one in the pic, but it appears to be the same
model. There is a little rust on the edges of the bottom. I thought it
might complement my #4, #5, and #8--though I read at Patrick's Blood and
Gore page that it was sort of "redundant"--being a lighter weight jointer.
It doesn't feel quite as good in my hand as my #8 for sure, it could just be
the replacement handle. The screw in the knob appears to go down awful far
too--like the knob needs to be replaced. Any comments about this plane?
Remember that statement about not being able to have too many clamps? Maybe
it applies to planes too? : )
