A cousin of mine stopped by today and dropped off a Stanley 5-1/4. He said if I didn't take it he was going to toss it in the trashcan. I wasn't about to let that happen. The blade had never been sharpened on it, it still had factory grind marks. There is some ugly green paint on the front knob, and the tote has a hole for a screw but there is not a tapped hole in the sole. Not sure if this is original?
Anyway, it will be put to good use I think.
