This is an Excelsior style Stanley 9 1/2 block plane with approximately 75% japanning (it’s worn mostly on the palm knuckle, where these block planes have japanning wear). The blade is good but needs a sharpening. Stamped on the blade is:
L BAILEY’S
PATENT
AUG 6 67
AUG 31 58 EX’D
The fork adjustment is fine, as is the mouth adjustment brass knob and threaded post. There are no visible casting cracks but a few side blemishes (see the photos; they may be hard to see as they’re small). It’ll be shipped coated with Camellia oil. $75 shipped disassembled in a small flat rate USPS box.
