Stanley #5 1/2 Jumbo Jack Type 16

Stanley Bailey No 5 1/2 jumbo jack plane. 15 inches long with a 2 3/8" wide iron. It is wider and has more heft than a standard No 5 jack. In great shape with beautiful rosewood. Iron is sharp and bottom flattened. Japanning looks great with only some wear by the mouth.

See the pictures. It does have a hanger hole drilled at the back but that does not impact function. The iron is not original but is an appropriate Stanley iron made in England. The lever cap casting mark on the back indicates its from a type 18 or 19 and not a 16, but its only a marking difference not anything functional. The body and frog match a type 16. I redid the finish on the knob and tote. When cleaning the old finish off the tote, I noticed it had a mid body crack down low that was not all the through. I broke it to get a clean fresh break that I immediately repaired with T-88 epoxy. It's very solid and the repair is all but invisible. Chip breaker has a small chip in one corner.

Happy to answer questions
