Worth #5 sized Jack Plane. Not much info on Worth branded planes, this is the only one I have seen that has the fixed frog. Tote is broken also. I am not a fan of the fixed frogs, however I have gotten the Stanley Defiance planes to take good shavings in the past.
However to me this would make a great scrub plane and with that fixed frog you have less moving parts when you ram into a knot to knock out of adjustment. yeah I work with a lot of southern yellow pine!
I have a few scrub planes already, and I have a few others that I am going to convert, that way I have several sized scubs just like my other planes. So if this one does not sell, I may just convert to a scrub rather then the broken Craftsman I kept for a scrub.. But I would rather sell it, I have way to many planes already..
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....
