Seems I sell one jack plane, and turn around and buy another one.....
This one might be a touch old, though298239
DE stands for Diamond Edge..this is a DE#5. Have since repaired the knob. Oak veneer strips were glued into the gap made after planing the two halves flat. CA to adhere the parts together. Letting the glue finish curing now
298240
Tote was broken, but it was a clean break. CA to glue it together. Bolt was changed out
298241
As I don't think that hex headed one will quite do. Happened to have both a correct tote bolt, and the toe bolt. Looks like Union made the frog?
The iron has the DE logo stamped into it
298242
BTW, threads on the smallish Brass wheel are left-handed. Hole on the iron is at the bottom. Lever cap has a keyhole style hole, and a steel plate spring
298243
Sole will need some work, though it is free of chips and cracks, but not paint. Japanning is at 75%298244
So, what can you tell me about a Union Made DE#5? Wood looks like walnut? Seat for the frog has just some "lands" with the bolts sitting in a lower un-milled area between them. Maybe about pre-1920?
