Evening all,
I got ahold of this plane on accident actually and decided to keep it. I like the size a lot and it's in pretty good condition. Patent date stamped on the sole is 12/08/1903. Problem is it didn't come with a blade or chipbreaker. I don't know much about Union planes and haven't been able to find out much searching the web. Will an old Stanley No. 3 blade and chipbreaker fit this plane? The width is the same I think so I don't see why it wouldn't work but then again I know little about planes (this is only my second). If an old Stanley won't fit, anyone know where I can find a blade setup for this besides waiting for one to pop up on ebay (which may take a while)?
Thanks!
