Stanley #5 Type 11 Plane Smooth Sole V Logo Iron Perfect Wood Tuned Sharp
Details
Up for sale is a super nice Stanley #5 type 11(1910-1918) hand plane. This one has a smooth bottom and it is flat. It has the 3 patent dates behind the frog and the small adjl. brass nut. It has the V logo on the iron and is very long. I have sharpened the iron going through the grits up to 8000. I have also re-Japanned the bed using Stanley's original factory recipe and baked it on low heat 5 times to set the Japanning. The rosewood tote and knob are crack free and no major chip or dings and show their original patina. A previous owner has his initials stamped on one side, see last picture
