Item P1 - Stanley No. 2 Smooth Plane.
This nice No. 2 has a
long blade with the “Y” Sweetheart logo produced only in 1921-22 that puts it in
the Type 12 era (No. 2 planes are difficult to type, since patent dates were not
cast into the beds, and other features are variable). I’ve cleaned this example
just enough to know that there are no hidden cracks or faults, and it will clean
further to be a very handsome plane. There is about 95% japanning with the
plane, and the wood suffers only a couple of light dings, with no cracks or
chips. The grain on the tote is striking. All is proper here, with no rust or
pitting. It is hard to find planes of this date in such nice condition. Fine.
