Stanley plane Question

Stanley Plane Model 71
The little nickel finish router plane.
In good shape is it worth much? Any idea what?

Try looking at the prices on ebay (oops!). I think that is a model 271.

Hi Cliff, this is a 271:

I haven't been paying that much attention, but the prices seem to be above the 40 dollar mark on the large auction site.

Cliff,

John Walter's most recent edition (2004) lists the following prices:

#71: $25 to $85 (Type 4 and earlier a bit more...up to $150)

#71-1/2: $35 to $85 (Type 2 and earlier a bit more...up to $150)

#271: $20 to $60

Prices on that infamous auction site generally seem to be pretty close to these ranges lately.

Infamous indeed.

Thanks for the replies.
