I stopped by a couple of fleamarkets that are usually closed while I'm passing through. One weekend, I found a D-23 with a long bow in it. I've since hammered it out using the instructions by Bob Smalser. I'll be sanding away the rust using Simple Green and refinishing the handle in the next few days.

I also found an L. Wheeler handsaw. It is missing 3 teeth and the toothline is concave by about a quarter of an inch. I don't know if I will clean it up or just horde it in a closet somewhere yet.

Then, last weekend I found a couple of joiner planes. I usually only see Handy Man Special number 4's, but I was surprised by a number 8 and a Craftsman 22 inch. The Craftsman is corrugated, while the Stanley is smooth.

From the shape of the adjustment lever, the Craftsman looks like a Sargent. I have read the hyperkitten type study, but am unaware what the high arched frog on a Stanley plane means. I think the number 8 is either a type 9 or 10.
