This plane was beautifully restored/refurbished for me by Mr. James (Jim) Spangler. It was never previously advertised on the forum by Jim because I made arrangements to buy it from him off the forum. Its an absolutely gem that is both beautiful to look at and also equally capable of going right to work. I used it during my work bench build for a few areas that needed a small plane that could get into an area to remove material. It worked like a charm.
The above all said, I broke my pinky a long time ago and in spite of the pain I get from using traditional shaped totes, I had held on to this one not sure if I really wanted to sell it. The time has finally come for me to let it go because I have a small replacement that has the straight upright tote (LV bevel up style). I will disassemble and wrap this in pieces for safe, well packaged shipping.
I know there are 5-1/4 planes out there, but I never see them in this good of condition. If you want some James Spangler artwork, here is your chance.
