I have one of each that was mentioned. I think I am just seeing the tip of the iceberg here, I am in blown away by how much you guys know about these planes.
I have just started to clean up this pair, you can see one is cleaner than the other. The tote was broken on one so I did not think there was any lost value in repairing it. The second one has a chip off the top but should be OK to use. It is very light wood and I am not sure I can match it. The one with only one pat. date has a broken frog, so I really only have one plane that will come to working order. .
I thought I would post these photos after reading the thread mentioning them. As a nubie this forum is great. Cheers Ron.
