Stanley No. 56 Core Box Plane

$625.00
Sold

Hold. The. Phone. This No. 56 is phenomenal!

“Rare” gets slapped on pretty much anything to boost sales these days. Probably days other than these, too. We just can’t say for sure. Anyway, our point is the word has been overused to the point of becoming its own antonym. What nonsense are we spouting with this word geekery? Read on; a clue lies within.

Not wanting to contribute to the unfortunate ubiquity of the word “rare,” we rarely bestow that label around here. Cue laugh track. It’s okay if you slapped your knee laughing at our horrible pun. Sad, but okay.

Yikes, we wandered way off the path there. Back on track, what we’re trying to say is that these planes actually are pretty rare in planeland. Think about it. How many people could have possibly been buying these floating cocktail weenies when Stanley made them? Evidently, not many people, since Stanley only offered them from 1909-1923, or thereabouts. We doubt many people even had a clue what this boxy little beauty was supposed to do. It cores boxes? Say what? You mean apples?

The digressions seem to be getting worse rather than better. And redundant now too! So we’ll just point you to the many pictures of this No. 56 and sum up with this: Original. Complete. Whoa, rosewood. Whoa, japanning. Triple whoa, V logo iron. WOW.
