Stanley-Bailey No. 5-1/4 Bench Plane (Junior Jack)
Super clean, late fractional blue boy here. Translation: late model No. 5 ¼ with blue “japanning” signifying, to some scholars and some regular people too, the imminent demise of the Stanley hand plane empire. But you know what? They actually did make great planes right down to the end. This one’s well manufactured and has the right feel in the hand, despite its sunset years origin. It’ll be a great-performing and great-looking user.
