    Default Stanley USA no.6, Marples no. 5 1/2

    Stanley USA no.6 and a Marples no. 5 1/2.
    Good restoration projects.
    The Stanley requires a new rear handle as the one present is home made and the Marples requires a few more parts.
    The buy it now price includes postage Aust. wide.

    It looks like these planes were made in teh same year as the Titanic.

    Unfortunately they survived but the Titanic didnt.

    Despite this the Titanic is currently in far better condition

    The Stanley looks like a WW2 version with the plastic adjusting screw.
    They should both make good users with a little tlc.
    If you want to sell them put up some pics of the soles to show if they are rust pitted or not.
