Mine from yesterday.

A cool infill (rosewood and steel)
And a Sargent made 3409 branded as Marshall Wells Hardware. (I need to research this a little more)

Don, I was looking at the 12 1/2 and was wondering why on earth anyone would cut a hand plane in half :) Seriously that was my first reaction.
What is it used for?

I’m going to call the weekend a success.
Noted find, a Birdseye Holly. According to Roger Smith its the first successfully manufactured metallic plane.
Best buy, a no crack, no break, perfect rosewood, just some surface rust #607 for $18. (I didn’t even dicker)
My first Keen Kutter, a K7.
An #A18 for my knuckle block collection.
A #248. Looks complete because I have a serous sickness. Then another because???
A nice Distton thumbhole.
A B plane tranny because if I didn’t buy it the guy was going to make a lamp out of it.
A Sargent #52 because I have a thing for Sargents and it was less than half the typical ebay price.
Did you ever see one with wings?
