I have a free cedar chest rehab project that's been kicking around the shop for a few years. It has a molding around the bottom that has a profile I don't have for my router, it's a common profile, but one I don't know the right name for. Kind of a stretched Ogee.
Anyway, yesterday we stopped at an antique store on a whim, and I found a very nice Ohio Tools side escarpment plane in the exact profile I need. It's marked with a 59 (and some fraction, maybe 3/4) and then another bigger 3/4. Keeping it company was a very nice #5 hollow plane by Sandusky tools. The blades are a little rusty, but the Ohio still cuts pine without even being touched. They are in pretty decent shape, with the markings still being very clear.
The prices weren't a steal, but not unreasonable. I paid $60 for both planes and a marking gauge that needs a little help.
