Details

WOW, never thought I would run across this! I should keep it, but I just have to many planes and other tools. Why am I excited? When was the last time you saw anything in an original S&H Green Stamp Box? 1st, this is a Stanley Handyman H1204 (#4 size) bench plane that I think it new, or lightly used. Handyman was the home owner too line from about 1957-mid 70's. Now, if you do not know what S&H Green Stamp Store was, check Wikipedia. But in short is was a form of rewards for buying at different business in the Midwest and southern USA until the early 1980's. You bought items and you got so many green stamps per $1.00 spent. You in turn put the stamps in a booklet to collect enough to use at the official S&H store. You could not by anything in the store expect with the Green Stamps, you did have to pay a little, but I think that was just the sales tax. I do not remember now, I was a kid still, but do remember going into the stores with my mother and grandmother here in KY.

I had forgot about the green stamps until I found this plane. Look at the price on the box $5.00!! This was bought in July 7 1970! Man this brings back memory's of my child hood..

I have not done anything to this plane, it is how I got it. I bought a large collection of planes at once and this is part of the collection. I will have about 30 more to list over the next few weeks.

    Selling since November 2024

    Retired Archaeologist now working for city of Lexington Engineering Dept. Have been a carpenter and woodworking for some time, just switched over to hand tools several years ago. But now my health has changed, I have no kids and if Gods will, will be retiring and moving to Philippines in the next 5 Years. So I am slowly selling off tools (and other things) that I know I will not be hauling across the world. When the time comes, I may sell off more, but for now all my extras or things I bought to resale need to go....Heck I may just sell it all and not touch a tool again depending on my health in 5 years....
