Great project plane. Believe this is an early Craftsman jack plane model 5267C from 1929-1932. Similar size to a Stanley No 5 with the same 2" iron. All the pre-WWII Craftsman's are great user planes. I did a quick cleaning and some surface rust removal to a good look at it. Everything moves freely. The sole looks really good after I gave it a couple swipes on my sanding board and it should finish cleaning up pretty quick. Knob and tote are hardwood, no cracks or repairs. I knocked most of the old shellac off. Contact points for the frog to the sole all look good.
Included two irons both with good cutting length remaining. A Fulton (also Sears brand) that I rough cambered for use as a scrub iron. And an unmarked iron that looked unused, started on polishing the back to verify that it did not have issues. Both should sharpen up fine.
See the pictures. Someone did retap one of the frogs screw holes to use a different screw, but they did a reasonable job and will hold the frog fine. Japanning is mostly gone on the rear behind the frog.
Happy to answer questions.

Long time hobby woodworker. Most of that has been as a power tool user but in the last several years I've taken up hand tools and love it. Also found that I really like putting old iron back into service.
