    $2.50 rust find with a Sargent 5206

    Went to an estate sale and pick up everything for $2.50
    2 Stanley 220 one in great condition after surface rust was removed the other one has the blade I need for another 220 I pick up last week for .50
    and a Sargent 5206

    Has anyone used a Sargent 5206?
    Thanks, Jacob

    Wow. Great find! Looks like you even got the front end of a, what, No.4 something?

    Nice score. Hell, I would have paid that for the hammer ...

    Definitely something to gloat over.

    Your location isn't in your profile and my memory is kind of blank on whether or not you told us in a previous post.

    Mark, put the #4 in the evapo-rust for to long and that was all that was left.

    I used evapo-rust on the Sargent and it turned out great, still have to put an edge on blade.

    I have a lot of hammers but this one was to cool to pass up. Never seen a nail puller on the handle before, It look's like it came that way because they put a grove in the handle.

    Jim I updated my user information. Thanks Jacob

    That's not a damaged part. It's an "extremely rare early wood planer". I know because I saw one similar for sale on the interwebs.
