I have cleaned up way worse. as long as it's not pitted the rust will come off with some work, might have to take a razor blade to the tar looking stuff to get it off the sole. Looks like a good find and would make a nice plane to use with some cleaning..

Cheers

I would say the plane is in “fair” condition

The 98-99's depending on the condition sell anywhere from 40-90 each and 100-200 for the pair. They are a little more odd as they quit making them during WWII. The 95 you have is referred to as a butt gauge, they are not worth much. 20-30 if in the box and maybe 50 if mint in box.  I see them in lots of tools all the time, I just never have ended up with one.  I have wondered if they would be good for laying out lines on ends/sides.  depending on the cost to ship, condition and what you want for the 95, I might be interested in it to play with some.. I need it like a hole in the head LOL

I have a plane with that same adjuster knob, it looks like a old pop bottle lid! I think my iron is stamped Crusader, I thought about keeping it for the name! I have not fixed that one up yet, but I think I am going to rob a knob of something else before I sell it... If fixed up and ready to work, I would ask $35-45+shipping for it if it was me.  The 102 again if ready to work condition, maybe 20-25.00 +shipping, but that is me making a profit after paying fees, and my orginal cost. I do not include my time, I do it while being on call for work, so I am already getting paid!

But I do buy the undesirable planes by the bakers dozen, fix them up to work and resale them for a profit, so my opinion may be a little one sided LOL

I do not agree with that 100%, I can see how a stamped frog would not hold an adjustment due to flex in the more pliable material. However, if you adjust it the way you want it, it will work just fine, but may loose it's adjustment especially if you hit a knot or reversing grain. But that has also been my experience with wooden body planes.  So to me adjusting every now and then is not a bad thing, just a little irritating, unless of course you are doing the final smoothing, then yes loosing adjustment could be a problem.  But for normal stock work excluding final smoothing, then I do not see a problem with loosing adjustment. Well unless it moves 1/8" or so, but then you have something loose or broke.  My Stanley Bailey's and Craftsman Cozens loose adjustment from time to time when I hit a knot in yellow pine, I have learned to stop and check my plane on scrap, and adjust as needed.   I build mostly paint grade furniture or simple country furniture out of what ever I can get ahold of, like people in my are have done for generations. so my needs are not the same as others, but to say a plane that was made for 50+ years is not worth restoring, is a little not correct.  But that mentality does make them type of planes cheaper to buy for beginners to learn on. My 1st plane was a $12.00 Harbor Freight Winsor Design, I made it work, I still use it for carpentry stuff. It is a good plane? Heck NO, but it worked till I got around to finding better planes at good prices. So for a beginner buying an antique plane, I think spending $50 or less on a not so desirable plane is better then buying a Type 1 Bailey or a Lie Nelson. Plus you can always upgrade and turn your cheaper planes into a work horse that if you drop off the roof, it don't matter!.

The planes with stamped metal frogs are seldom worth restoration. They just don’t hold adjustments.

Pictures also would be a good help to be sure....

Some of the later Stanleys where painted rather then Japanning. There where some gold with another color, called two toned, or something like that. I was recently trying to get my hands on a #4  to clean up and resale here. I have not seen any that was silver myself, but there where some that was a light blue, so maybe that is what you have. Or it's silver and looks light blue to me.  Someone else correct me if I am wrong, but these gold and silver/blue are from the 1960's and I think they have letters in there "part numbers"  They still should work just fine if tuned up.     The one with the sheet metal frog, well it could be a Stanley Defiance, they where made from the late 20's up to the 60's. Some had casted in body frog, I have had a couple of them, and some have a removable frog that was pressed steel, these are the newer ones.  There was also several other companies names on planes like that, that I am pretty sure where rebranded Defiance's, I have several like that in line to be fixed up and sold here.

I think this is the correct channel.

Nice! You might want to straighten out the blade with a grinding wheel, it looks like it has many years of uneven sharpening
