I am selling a Stanley #6 that I recently fully restored. It is of British manufacture, and as best as I can tell, probably from the 1970's or so. I re-finished the knob and tote, cleaned the painted surfaces, cleaned all metal parts, and lapped the bottom. I sharpened the blade, and tuned the chip breaker. The blade is razor sharp, as can be seen in the photo of the shaving from a piece of curly maple. Time will tell how this blade holds an edge. Personally, I would use it for a while before deciding to upgrade the blade/chip breaker. I have a lot of experience with old Stanleys, having owned over 100 at one time, and I have had blades that took and held a fine edge, and others that didn't. This is a very nice user plane in excellent condition, and is ready to go.
I have other photos if anyone is interested. I am asking $75.00. I am located just outside of Morehead City. I can ship it, although shipping costs would be the responsibility of the buyer. I would be happy to answer any questions.
