spent $61 on planes I found at the flea market today. Gave $15 for a Bailey
#7, $20 for a Stanley SW #6, 20 for a #5 that only had MADE IN USA on the
body and $6 for a Stanley #102 block plane. I posted pics in the binary
group a.b.p.w. if you want to see and tell me if I got a deal or got screwed
on them.

An elderly friend gave me a102, unused and still in its box, a couple of
years ago. He said he bought it about fifteen years before that.
Hardly a day goes by that I don't use it.

Assuming the throats are ok, not two rusted and all the parts are
there
you made out pretty well - even if you only got the #6 & #7
YOU SUCK! (sorry, it's required per the FAQ)

Rust hunting musty be pretty fair in Kentucky these days. We were in
Louisville last month and a friend who is a big bargain hunter
presented me with a #7 and a #5 that he had found. Wouldn't take
anything for them either. Great friend, that Terry.

The opening in the sole of the planes were not damaged in the least. Mostly
just dirt and surface rust. The little 102 had a nick in the body on top of
the side walls, looked like it got against a grinder. I'm not a collector I
just bought them to clean up and use. I don't have a jointer yet, been about
to pull the trigger on buying one, but other stuff keeps coming up.

I bought a Fulton #5 a month or so ago for $12, haven't gotten around to
cleaning it up yet. If they are in good shape I'll usually go $20 on one.

Yes you have. The #7 is certainly a jointer, at least in Neander terms.
Oh, and, BTW, you suck, bigstyle! Enjoy..

Took the 102 apart to clean and found that the threaded end on the wheel had
broken off into the curved handle, so I'll have to work on it a bit to make
it functional. I have an old blue and orange Stanley block plane that I
really like but it is about double the size of the 102. The 102 I have has a
blade marked Jordan Germany. Just a little more info that I didn't have
before.
