Retired Archaeologist now working for city of Lexington Engineering Dept. Have done carpenter and woodworking for a long time, just switched over to hand tools several years ago. But now my health has changed, I have no kids and if Gods will, I will be retiring and moving to Philippines in 2028. So I am slowly selling off tools (and other things) that I know I will not be hauling across the world.
Craftsman #3 sized Smoothing Plane made by Sargent (BL) for Sears late 1930-early 40's. The number 2 in sharpie is just so I do not mix them up.
The Craftsman and Dunlap #3 sized planes are longer then the Stanley #3 buy just a hair. The Craftsman and Dunlap #3 are the same length as a #4, but narrow like the #3. So think of them as a 4 1/4 size, but they where sold as a #3 size when new.
The BL stamp shows this was made by Sargent for Sears, the BL was used from about 1937 to 1943, where it was switched to numbers.
This plane is from my "I am going to keep this one" shelf, I wanted at one time to have a set of each of the brands that Sears sold over the years, plus I prefer the Millers Falls planes over the Stanley's, other then the Stanley tote, I do like them better LOL...
My health is having issues, if I get it straightened out soon, we are planning to retire to the Philippines in 2028, I am not taking a lot of my tools, so they are going up for sale a few at a time. Plus, I need the money to eat at the food trucks, they are getting expensive! HaHa...
