I always thought the 602C was the most rare bedrock, or do you think the 602c is just more valuable because of the #2 size collectability as you mentioned previous in the video?
That’s a very fair question and I appreciate you bringing it up. Per Pat Leach on B&G, the 602c was made from 1898-1918 so a bit longer than the 605 1/4 in terms of production years. www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan15.htm Mr. Leach goes on to say that the 605 1/4 is the scarcest of all the bedrocks (see link). Apparently they were mostly used in schools for shop class.
Love your vids and sharing your knowledge is just great. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully these videos will help folks know more about what to look for when shopping for their next hand plane
Great planes & info as usual XD
Thanks Bud! So far I haven’t had to issue any corrections. 😅
awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool. Now you have me thinking about going through my lever caps and seeing if you have some that don't have chips in the edges...
Sounds good to me! Let me know what sizes and types and we can see what I have.
Have both the #45 Type 4 and the type 20....
Dang, that little 605 1/4 is sweet!
Ain’t it though?! Too bad about the little chip on the mouth but hey, they’re pretty scarce. Some might even say “rare” 😂
@justplanefun I think I know a few that would say "rare" 🧐😁
How much would the 62 with the chip in the mouth go for? What about the 72?
