Look at the second picture and then come back and read this.
Did you look at the second picture? Yes? Great. This Stanley No. 57 Core Box plane looks like a scale model of an intergalactic battle cruiser on a Star Trek set, doesn’t it? I mean, really! I half expect laser beams or photon torpedoes to start shooting out of the thing. “Man the bridge, Ensign!” “Aye, Captain, manning the bridge.” “Engaging force field and warp drive.”
Okay, space adventure play time is over. Back to planes. This is a weird plane. Both of the Stanley core box planes are weird (other makes, even weirder - stay tuned for future listings). But they’re that type of intriguing, devil-may-care weird that we can kind of admire a little bit. There aren’t lot of these things floating around because A) they can’t float and B) only one in a thousand people had the slightest clue what a core box plane was supposed to do when Stanley was making them, let alone today. It cores boxes? Huh? You mean it cores apples?
We don’t know for sure that it’ll core an apple because we didn’t want to get your intergalactic battle plane all apple-juice sticky right before shipping it to you. But we’re pretty sure it can core apples all day long and still be hungry for more. It can also create some big-ass, half-cylinder-shaped voids wearing its set of magic wings.
Missing the original turnbuckle rod. Does that affect function? It might if you’re actually using the plane to make super-precisely sized core boxes. But since no one has made a core box with a plane in, wow, gotta be 50+ years now, the lack of the turnbuckle just makes it less pirate-esque. Turnbuckle sounds like a pirate word, doesn’t it?
Ships to you excessively well-packed and insured.
