I like to prowl antique shops and flea markets. Since joining FW, I have seen much discussion about planes. Undoubtedly, there is great interest in securing old planes both for use and as collectibles. Personally, I'm not very interested in them. But, I do have an interest in trading or selling items in an attempt to make a small profit. As for planes, I don't know a desirable one from a runa da mill. Yesterday, I saw one that I was tempted to buy. It just looked highly collectible. But, that wasn't enough to make me part with a $20.00 bill. It was a wood body with iron inset/insert guts and blade. No name but had a replica Liberty Bell cast on the front hold-down gizzie.
I'm thinking I need to buy a book on collecting planes and make notes on which are desirable. My instincts tell me I passed on something good. Dunno. Oh, well.
