My wife and I stopped in at one of the local antique shops this afternoon. Down in the basement they usually have a good selection of old tools. I dropped down there and pulled these out of the back corner. The wood base ones tag read Union, not sure of the #, The longer one is a Stanley/Bailey #5, and the last one is a Millers Falls No.9.
So on the Union one, how does one flatten it's sole. I'd assume one could plane it flat again and even laminate a new sole to it to freshen it up?
Edit: Found the Millers Falls Model, it's stamped outside on the left cheek as a NO. 9
