After picking up some "new" tools at the M-WTCA yesterday, my wife and I went to downtown Mebane to hang out for a while.
I found this in one of the antique shops for $5!
The rust is only surface rust and should clean off easily. The iron still has the factory edge and the Bakelite adjuster tells me it's approximately from the WWII era -- possibly immediately after due to the frog adjusting screw being present. Nearly all of the Japanning is there and the knob & tote are perfect!
Not a bad find for $5.:eusa_clap
