To get the tote rod loose, I've dropped some penetrating oil near the hole and let it sit. Then I get a pair of vise grips and and an old piece of leather belt. Put the belt around the rod, clamp the...

Picked it up today. Woman was selling it for $15 on Facebook.
I'm a sucker for vintage pencil sharpeners. Just picked up a Boston Ranger 55 for the shop

Too far of a drive for me, but I thought some of you guys would be interested. https://www.estatesales.net/VA/Melfa/23410/2159319
I'm in my early 30s and there's just something about the Stanley/Bailey style I prefer. You can find them for cheap if you are willing to put in a little work to fix them up. They work just as good...
Wolfgang, you have made my day today! I really appreciate it. I knew someone one here had to know something about it.

I'd take a hand plane to it and keep checking for 45 degrees every few shavings.
Overall sounds like a solid deal to me, but what I think is a good deal might not be a good deal to others. Plane values are really variable based on condition, rarity, whether they have been...
Now that I take another look. I don' think it's a Handyman. The tote looks Handymanish, but now I think it's just a newer Stanley like you said. 70's - 80's. As far as price, if you sharpen and tune...
Looks to be a Stanley Handyman that someone traded out the lever cap. The lever cap is from a regular Stanley.
