Hi, I recently obtained a small collection of Siegley planes. I have a #4, #4.5, #5, a couple #6's, and a #7. I've fettled with them a bit and like their simplicity. Some are in better condition than others but I'd like to clean them up a bit. I don't know that they'll get used a ton, but I do find them interesting. Does anyone know anything about them? I found a little online and the ones I have seem to be made before Stanley purchased them. I've wondered what other sizes there are out there, any block or specialty planes? Any other info is also great. Finally, anyone know what size tap I can use to re-thread a place to screw a tote on the #4.5? Thanks for your help. I've checked this forum out quite a bit but this is my first post. Thanks for having me!
