My dad gave me his hand plane for Christmas. He knew that I was wanting it when he was done with it. It is a Dunlap 4Dbb. I took some pics but the barreries died so will post some pics later. He has had this plane for at least 50 years. It needs a good sharpening (must be from some little kid playing with it) and cleaning. It appears that it may be adjusted wrong as the holder to adjust the depth of cut doesn't line up with the opening in the sole. It is about a 1/8th" back. I will see about getting a book that shows how to properly sharpen and adjust the plane. I know from doing some reading that this is not a top of the line brand, but it was dads so it is just great. I also have a 2 man saw that he bought in 1934 or 1935. They will hang on my shop wall.
