Thread: Broken Norris on ebay

Good luck to him.

Lean pickings for sellers on this side of the ditch. On Trademe a nice older Stanley No.7 (with newer iron) sold for just $NZ31 tonight, and a Record No.06 (minus irons) for just $NZ18. I'd have expected double for both of them.

Mind you, there's a Stanley No.10 1/4 in nice condition about to go for $NZ1000.

Cheers, Vann.

ps And I picked up a Record 08 last week for $NZ67 - but that's me just gloating...

#8? Welcome to the big league.


Stanley #7 with a rusty blade and bad thread on the adjuster wheel for $17.....everything else was nice and straight though and I had it all stripped and parts replaced with parts from the #7 that I could never get set properly......don't know what was wrong with it but I decided it was the plane, not me.

Thanks Sean. It arrived yesterday. I've tried to work out it's age using recordcollector's website. It must be a bitza, as it has a 1945-52 lateral lever; a 1954-63 depth adjuster wheel; and possibly pre-war handle and knob. It's missing the toe screw, but I've got a couple of spare Stanley ones that'll probably fit. The iron looks okay, so I'm contemplating a Clifton cap-iron to stiffen it up.

Cheers, Vann.

ps. That Stanley 10 1/4 that went for $NZ1000 had a corrigated base. There's a smooth base one going for $NZ450 in 30 minutes.
