I have a Wards Master #7 for sale. I was my user until I got the Keen Kutter K7C. I have been using it for a couple of years so it is not fresh off from the grinder. Montgomery Wards was a department store in my days and it was sold as their house brand. The plane was made by Stanley and it is an earlier version because of the solid face and close fit at the front of the frog. The knob and tote are solid but show some wear and tear. They could stand refinishing but it was my daily user. The sides have been ground square with the bottom and the bottom is as flat as any plane on the market.
According to Chris Schwarz is the DVD Course, medium @fine the jointers is where you want to spend the money and to get one this flat guess where you have to go ?
One picture is of the plane completely disassembled, so you know everything is in working order. Asking $165 plus shipping. I will have to find out about the shipping cost.
Anyway pictures are worth a 1000 words so here they are.
Thanks for looking
