Picked this type 13 Stanley No 6 for $30. In the process of cleaning it up best I can now.
I've removed most of the rust, need to hit it with a wire wheel to clean it up the rest of the way. The iron definitely needs sharpening, slight regrind to straighten the edge out.
Next up is removing the black paint from where it shouldn't be. Everything except the iron and chip breaker were painted black. Including under the frog.
I'm thinking about taking it to the machine shop and getting them to sandblast it, would that be a bad idea? Not enjoying the idea of getting all the paint from the frog seat off.
Out of 3 in 1 oil but didn't realize until after the vinegar bath and scrubbing so all of the parts are on the counter soaked in vegetable oil until i can run to the store tomorrow.
