Stanley-Bailey No. 2-C Bench Plane (smoother)
We don’t often use words like “fine” and phrases like “near mint” (We like to think that’s because we don’t want to seem pretentious, but that explanation doesn’t fly when you pick a pompous-ass name like “The Tool Archive” for your shop!).
But whatever our reasons for using such antiquey terms sparingly, those reasons don’t apply here. This No. 2-C is, indeed, both fine and near-mint. About as nice as they come.
