Decided to rehab this little fellow..

Little Giant? Worked on the sole...
369465
Was a bit hard to check for flat....:rolleyes:
369466
May start a sharpening thread on that iron?
369467
Cleaned up the cap iron...or is it a chipbreaker? Not a whole lot of parts to rehab..wasn't any rust, either:D
Put this all back together, trying NOT to cut any fingers on the iron's bevels...
369468
Tried a few passes along the edge of a scrap board....this plane will also cut as a scraper..
369469
Not much to hold onto...

Not sure if I can cobble up a handle. Rumour has it that there were two kinds of these planes...

Fascinating. It looks like a straight-blade inspiration for Lee Valley's pullshave.

These sold for about 98 cents when new in the box....replacement cutters were in the Medicine Cabinet over the bathroom sink...
