Rarely come to this side of the creek, but I picked up two hand planes the other day, and wonder if they are any good.

1: Record #010, Blue body, complete, looks like it was hardly used. A few very light rust stains on the side, almost like from sweaty hands.

2: Record #073, all steel, no scratches from use, one hash mark on the side, like someone tossed another tool on top of it in the tool chest. Without that mark, it looks unused.

How do these rank in the hand plane world....real use, not collector planes?

I paid $10 each, and bought them to use, not sell. Never had anything better than a cheapo.
