What should I do with it? Keep it, sell it, donate it or throw it?
Any idea of the quality of the tool or its value?

Any and all responses appreciated.

Keep it, give it a sharpen too prove it works, then put it back in the box.
Having the Box is fantastic having the box in what looks quite good condition for its age is a big bonus.
Unfortunately it’s not a super rare model, but with the box is a bonus.

Cheers Matt.

Yup the box will double its value. Plane looks in pretty good condition too.

This one does not look as good as yours.

Hi,

I have just bought a 220 Block Plane in the
original orange box like yours and was in good
condition like yours. I would keep it and use it
now and then as i have done with the Record
0110 on my recent post a few more planes to
upgrade.

Martin.
