Candy wanted to get out today so we went to Kalama and visited one of our favored antique stores.
They have changed things around a lot since our last visit. Not only was the entry moved a lot of vendors have moved on and new ones are on the scene.
There were a lot of tools, but with my accumulation there weren't many that are not already in my shop.
There was one #60-1/2 at a decent price. This was something on my want list for the longest time. Before the pandemic one was found in St. Helens, OR.
Just couldn't resist so this one got a ride home.

From the features on this one comparing to type studies of other models this one was likely made between 1947 - 1951. 1947 was when stamping the model number into the side supposedly began. 1952 is when the bedding for the blade at the mouth became a narrow strip.
A little clean up and blade work and it should be good to go.
