Louey woon

[dusteater]

I`ve had these planes passed on from my dad and just wondering are they in demand as collectibles ,not that i`m thinking of flogging them off, just curious.
The one that looks the oldest is the louey woon wooden plane , my father is 90 and he said that this one belonged to his grandfather. the other two are a Record No 06 and a Stanley No 4 both belonged to his father.
Cheers in advance

The record and stanley are not particularly collectable but both should clean up ok and be good users.
Louey Woon was a Melbourne furniture maker in the early 1900s He also made planes like yours to sell locally.
The blade in that plane looks like a stanley blade and the wedge looks to be from something else and made to fit.

In regard to the Louey Woon plane, I remember some discussion at a TTTG meeting about planes made by chinese living here in the late 1800s it may have even been in one of the news letters ? Oops Didn't completely read NCArcher's response !?
