No, they are not mine and I have no interest in them at all. This is just for information. Mods may move if I'm in the wrong place. (which I often am )
Enneyhow. Went on a Sunday, old folks, slow drive today to a nearby old town to just look around and take a few pictures of some falling down buildings. Went into an antique shop/flea market on the main street. Got blown away by the selection of old tools the guy has for sale. Has many fine old hand/Neander tools. A collectors treasure house. I mentioned to him on how fine his collection is and that I was on a forum with a buncha nuts.....er...guys who love those things. He said he has a #1 Leonard Bailey plane. He emphasized that it IS NOT A STANLEY. Anyone interested may call him. I didn't ask price but he is retiring and everything is half price but I don't know half of what. He said he has another 1200 planes in storage that he uses to replace what he sells. I saw about a half dozen each of Stanley #1 and #2 planes. Drooled over a ca. 1700 goosewing squaring axe. Beautiful condition. Asking price, $1250.00. Oh, well. Anyone interested can call and ask for Richard at 870-656-1043. Tell 'em Frank sent ye. And, no, I don't get commission.
