Score! Two handplanes.......

[froglips]

I dropped into my favorite Antique Mall today (Granddaddy's in Burlington) for a walk.

To my shock, joy and amazement I think I scored some deals!

A 12" woodworking rasp, looked unused for $3

Then, sitting on top of a big display of tools, a solid wooden body scrub plane w/iron.

Sitting on the floor of another booth? A Stanley Bailey Sweetheart #3 with the Stanley Tools logo still on the tote!

So, ready for the deal part? $20 for the scrub, $15.65 for the Stanley. :icon_cheers

Congrats on the haul - the No. 3 is a STEAL. I'll have to check that place out sometime. I need to get around to posting some pics of the Preston infill smoother that I picked up a few weeks back at an estate sale - didn't steal it, but I'm happy with what I gave for it.

Be happy to trade you the #3 for that nearly worthless Preston...... :tongue2:

What are friends for :gar-Bi

I thought you didn't have any use for a scrub plane. Musta been swayed by the price! Great find.:icon_cheers

Congrats on a most excellent score! Where did you say this mall is? I'm only an hour from Burlington... if they have tools all the time, it's worth the road trip.

Granddaddy's Antique Mall http://www.granddaddys.com/

They always have some tools, and lots of other stuff. Its a big place.

There are at least two booths that are a majority hand tools.

Jim,

Clearly you are not only a bad influence, you may be an actual carrier of the dreaded WoodGuy Disease... and I thank you for that.:gar-La;:gar-La;:gar-La;

I'll be visiting Burlington soon.

The Stanley 3C I just bough cost a fair piece more than that.

Can you post some pics once you get them cleaned up? I'd especially like to see how the Stanley 3 looks.

Man you have all the luck!! :eusa_danc
