Strewth, it was only after I found a good pic of a Preston 1347 at this site that I realised just how much Matt's little plane has suffered. Its own mother might have extreme difficulty in recognising it!

Hmm, I think I might be guilty of being a collector
I just bought this...
Record 04_29.jpg
to go with my No.8...
Stanley 8b.jpgStanley 8a.jpg
which I'm currently tidying-up to become my No.4 3/4
Still not as good as that Preston though.

A collector of severely-maimed tools?
No, I think we'll have to try very hard to beat that!
Those two divots out of the side walls on your first pic, Vann - I've seen a few of these, presumably because some clown decided it was too far to walk to get a proper hammer, and used his 4 1/2 instead. Most abusers quit after smashing one side, but our brave boyo must've decided to make his plane symmetrical again....
You could clean it up a bit, sharpen the blade, & flog it as a "4 1/2 Lite".....
Cheers,IW

Nice. Get them sharp and working sweetly and I bet you end up loving those bad boys.
...I'll just make the other bits smaller.
