Well, it did show up at the mailbox. Took three days to get from Indy, IN to here......Indianna Pony Express.

Same size as a Stanley #3. Methinks this $.99 + S&H plane MIGHT be a Millers Falls made plane. There is a "Craftsman Tools" label on the handle
323683
So, maybe I had better clean this one up?

Iron sharpened up nicely, was almost flat. Needed a couple small nicks taken out is all. Sides and sole cleaned up as well. No pits, just a slight "bloom" of rust. Plank is some White Oak
323685
Smudges from my fingers? Got out my Millers falls No.8
323686
Other than the "Craftsman" style parts, these are the same planes. Craftsman has a "3C'' stamped into the side, and the iron has Craftsman Made in USA BB stamped into it. Lever cap isn't the fancy Millers Falls type, but....

Logo is a brass flavoured sort of thing. There is no frog adjust bolt on the Craftsman, either. The wood for the handles is the same for both planes. Millers Falls version of Rosewood. At just under $9 counting shipping, this might be a keeper? :D
