orange julius1.jpgorange julius2.jpgorange julius3.jpgPicked this fellow up at a yard/garage sale yesterday. At first I wasn't going to buy it but decided what the heck, I'm starting to collect planes and it was somewhat unusual with the orange handles. It was cheap so I brought it home and cleaned it up some. I think the handles came from Stanley with the Orange paint (take a look at the photo that shows paint under the knob and tote) but haven't been able to find any pics or info on the web that Stanley released these. I believe the plane is from the early 30's, around the time frame when Stanley was playing with a orange spray paint..he, he.
Any thoughts from some of you folks? I had a dealer from California thought it might been a saleman's sample, or it could have been used as a store display.
