Holy cow. This corrugated No. 7 is phenomenal! All original in our estimation and basically flawless. Deep, buttery patina. Knockout rosewood, perfectly intact. Clean as a whistle. And to top it off, it’s a “Type 11”.* This one belongs in a museum, or at least a serious collection.
*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. This is particularly fascinating since the seminal type studies didn’t come along until something like 70 years later. How did those early voters know what type to vote best when types hadn’t been invented for Stanley-Bailey planes yet? Well, logic dictates only one conclusion: early crazy plane people could see the future!
