Both in excellent nick for their age - Used both over the years but not extensively. The little Stanley got more use than the big fellah. I have owned the Stanley for 46 years. When I got it it was already 42 years old having been built in 1931-32. Will smooth to a glassy finish when setup is good. I would grab this plane most often from the collection of 6 bench planes here.
The Pope is early 50's I'd guess being blue. A big solid bench plane which doubles as a jointer for smaller work. Don't think this bloke has done much real work in its life and my guess it was in an amatuers kit and spent most of its 67 years sitting on the shelf and being used very occasionally.
No cracks in the totes or bodies anywhere. The Stanley's sole has been lapped at one point. Soles and cheeks on both are in excellent condition. All threads are freshly oiled and moving freely. Both will need sharpening and tuning before being introduced to any timber. They screw together nice and tight and will be a nice pair to start a decent collection with.

Both planes live in Carrum Downs - Frankston bayside area
