I purchased this plane with the intent of using and after researching determined that 1) it is not terribly useful and 2) it is rare and highly collectible. As far as I can tell, it is a very early model which typically sells in the range of $175-$300 on Ebay (not sure what makes the difference). I wanted to post here first to see if some of the collectors were interested as opposed to posting on Ebay,, CL or Facebook marketplace. I am open to offers as those of you that collect are more knowledgeable about the different Stanley planes. It is in excellent shape with no rustor repaired damage. There is a spot of paint on the handle. The lateral lever is actually removable and most I have seen are not. In addition, the entire lever is flat and most appear to have a turned under piece on the tip. I am not sure if this is due to the vintage of this one or if it was replaced as i cannot find images of one like it.
