I found a rusty pair of number 4 ish planes sitting in a small pool of water at a flea market for $10. One is a number 4 1/2 craftsman in reasonable shape, far from perfect. I was looking for users.... The other was an old plane which I could not find any markings on but in rough shape. The knob is replaced with a piece of dowel. I rescued these from a puddle of water on a table.
The plane with no markings when degrunged a bit turned out to be a Sargent 409 type 2 with a corrugated sole. A collectors plane. My internet research dates it from 1891 to 1909. The corrugated sole has me thrown for a loop. They may have been only been made after 1907 and have a much lower value. But a 409 type 2 has been valued from $300 to $600 while corrugated are valued much much lower. I suspect my information is incomplete or inaccurate.
the info I need is the dimensions of the knob. Height, diameter of the bulb, diameter of the base, diameter of the neck and height of the straight part above the base.
no images yet... Some of the parts are still in the electrolysis hot tub.
am I rambling?
