Stanley No. 15-1/2 Ball Handle Block Plane

$355.00
Sold

This cute little guy with the bushy round tail is basically the result of a No. 15 and a No. 9-3/4 getting together and, well, you know, doing what two adults do when they love each other very much. If you’re not following, ask AI to explain it to you. That’s beyond our jurisdiction.

Anyway, the parents lovingly dub their resulting child "15-1/2," carrying on the father’s name and the mother’s affinity for fractions. The darling little boy is just like papa 15, except with a tail. And he’s just like mama 9-3/4, except longer. With those attributes, the parents urge 15-1/2 to play basketball, but it’s just not his thing. He prefers interpretive dance. And that’s okay.

Likely born in either 1879 or 1880, 15-1/2 now has a little age on him. The age just gives him character. No broken bones and overall good health. He retains about 80% of his original japanning. His rosewood is excellent, except for a tattoo (stamp) of the number “11” he got one night when he was drunk in college. Legend has it that 11 was 15-1/2’s first love and broke his heart after he permanently imprinted her name on his tail. May or may not be true, but it’s definitely movie plot material. His most defining features remain his removable tail and adjustable mouth. Wow, that’s a lot of adjustability, you might be thinking. Yes, yes it is. The world’s your oyster with 15-1/2 in hand.

Introduce yourself. He’s a cool dude.
