Stanley-Bailey No. 8 Bench Plane (Jointer)
In our humble opinion, this is what a premium, antique, workhorse-of-a-user jointer plane looks like. Immaculately cared for and subtly cleaned with a great patina still present. The tote horn has some chipping, but curiously, on the top. Unrepaired, but no need, since it’s not missing any wood where the horn registers with the web between your thumb and forefinger. This one belongs on the till flaunting how good it looks for its age.
