Frog and frog seat..

Depth adjust has a brass core, under that plastic knob...
Both needed a bit of clean up...

Brass doesn't rust...orange stuff is from stuff that does....Frog is cast iron...frog seat is brass.

Bolts seem to match Stanley's for diameter (Metric???)

Got about to here, then a phone call..had to help transfer the Boss from my Daughter's house in Dayton/Northridge up to West Liberty, OH. to an Assisted Care Center called Green Hills.

all that driving about plumb wore me out...so much for shoptime..

Stay tuned..

Because...
AMT Rehab, Doner handles.jpg
Even Tom won't be able to grind this one flat....will be a source for handles, frog, iron/chipbreaker and that sort of thing..
AMT Rehab, will not reach.jpg
As the Stanley iron will NOT reach all the way to the mouth..and the frog doesn't match up to this base..

As this sits about 1/2" LOWER than a Stanley version..so...shine things up..

with the new handles...(tossed the old ones?)
