Stanley-Bailey No. 4-1/2 Bench Plane (Smoother) - "Type 11"
Hold. The. Phone. This 4-1/2 is heart-meltingly gorgeous. All original, not f*%ked with, best we can tell, except that we have to concede the very real possibility that the tote on this plane is a fake! A fake, fake, faker! By that, of course, we mean a “replacement.” We can’t tell because it’s impolite to stare. But who cares? This plane is stunning, and tote-snobbery be damned!
Although we’re not big on “typing” planes, we’d be remiss not to point out that this beauty appears to be a “Type 11.” In case you’ve been living in the real world where none of this hand plane stuff matters, at all, Type 11 has won the Crazy Plane People’s Choice Award for “Best Type” for about 115 years running now since it debuted in 1910. And it shows no signs of slowing down as the crowd favorite.
Ships to you excessively well-packed and insured.
