i am not a collector of tools as a hobby/collector

i collect them to use and hopefully pass down to a deserving fellow
i have a few handplanes but only recently have i got back into doing
hand work

what's the story with planes and the prices

what makes a plane worthy for a collector

my planes are cheap planes that work just fine and i don't desire
any more planes

just trying to understand why some are sought after and fetch a
high price and some don't even though they seems to be similar


stanley #4 seems popular but sometimes i see them go for big $$
and sometimes not
even when the condition looks similar


A "Bedrock" may be redeemable for more $. It takes genuine effort to
really get to "know yer planes".
