Hi All,

So, before I give you the longer story, basically I'm looking for some
info on this plane. The "5CBB" is stamped in the side of the sole, and
the "BB" strangely seems to be a smaller font than the "5C." I could
take a pic and post a link later.

This was my grandfathers - mom's dad. Not exactly sure where in time
he bought it - he died long before I was born. My mom, the oldest, was
born in '31. I also have a "Machinists Handbook" that was his that is
copyright 1919. He worked as a tool and die maker.

I'd like to get this plane back into serviceable condition, and I've
found a few links in other rec.ww threads on that. But it's mostly
sentimental; I have no desire to sell the plane, just thought someone
could tell me more about it.

Oh yeah, I did indeed DAGS - and got nada!

Thanks,
Chris


Here is a Craftsman 5CBB plane on eBay. You might want to email the seller.
