I suppose it's a plane. The pic is somewhat poor, as I see it. There's no description, on the site, for this item.... at a local auction, Saturday.

Looks a lot like these pics of a Stanley 113 compass

No telling what's under that gold paint though, it may be covering a
good deal of rust.

Reminds me of an old guy I knew many years ago... He used to paint stuff
with a flat yellow paint that he referred to as "preservative" when people
came by to buy stuff out of his yard... All it did was cover up how bad the
stuff really was! He used to make hard cider, pickles, pickled eggs,
pickled pigs feet, etc. He also maintained a huge garden that was tended
completely by hand. He originally lived outside of town but development
encroached so his little subsistence farm was suddenly surrounded by
civilization. Despite that he continued his ways right up to the end.
Younger relatives moved in and got rid of all his "stuff" and did away with
the garden.

I think you're right, now that I see a compass plane. As per the pic (condition), if I can buy it for $10 or less, I will.

Thanks.

At one time, I shopped for scafolds, on Craigslist. Some of those scaffold sellers painted their scaffolds yellow, covering up rust, concrete that was dried on them, dirt that was still clumped on them, etc.

If the guy was masking the condition of his tools, how confident could you be about the consumables that he selling? I'd wonder what was hiding in those jugs of cider and jars of pickles.

Get a cop of Jane's All the World's Aircraft. They have every plane in
there.

I would agree that it's a Stanley compass. My suspicion would be that this
has spent a long time in water. Difficult to tell from pic.
