I'm not a neantherthal (yet) but love using my handtools when I can. I picked up a RAS at a local guy's house who was cleaning out his father's shop, and while I was there I noticed a couple planes. The most unique being this Stanley 85 Type 3 (it says "Pat. Apld for" and 4/11/05. Unfortunately there is no blade with it, but the previous owner will keep his eye out for it during the cleanout. I got the 85 along with a 7C for $25 :) The 7C needs some work - the handle is cracked and I need to find a new screw, but it was too much iron to pass up!
I'm not sure what I should do with the scraper plane; buy a new blade and clean it up and use it, or pass it on and try to make a few dollars.
