This summer while talking to another vendor at the Farmers Market he told me of the "longest yard sale in the Northwest."
On Memorial day and Labor day weekends there is a regular event of people having yard sales and a big event in the town of Packwood, WA.
Mel Miller mentioned picking up a broad axe during his hunt there.
I found a few things not so unique:

All told it was about $35 and like I really need another plane. This one is a KeenKutter K3. It is a little rough but should clean up to be a good user.
The 'file' is broken but has a pattern like a Nicholson shear cut. This one says "Superior, Made in U.S.A., Standard. The teeth are a bit clogged with what looks like plaster. It felt at least as sharp as my Nicholson. It has a half round profile. Shouldn't take to long to pick the teeth clean. It will likely get a new handle.
Right near the junction of I-5 and US 12 is an auction house/antique store. He had a few planes on the shelf including a Stanley/Bailey type 6 #8 and a KeenKutter KK8.
