Stanley-Bailey No. 5-1/2-C (Jumbo Jack) - "Type 11"
It doesn’t matter if you call him Jumbo Jack, Fat Jack, Big Jack, or Wide John, the fact remains that this is one drop-dead sexy plane. All original from what we can discern. Super-model rosewood. Japanning intact at some percentage we won’t pretend to know (but it’s high). And all on a corrugated, fractional, Type 11? Yes! You read that correctly. It’s the perfect storm of bench plane greatness.
Ships to you excessively well-packed and insured, just in case.
