Retired Telephone Engineer, Respiratory Therapist. Over 65, own a business selling sod turf grass. Hobby woodworker and home remodeler. Began restoring and selling planes on Ebay, but don't care much for how Ebay treats the sellers. I watch Rex's videos quite often and decided to see if I couldn't provide a restored, sharpened, working plane for a reasonable price on Tool Trader instead. Regards, Dave
**Historical Notes:
Model: Millers Falls No. 900
- Body: Approximately 9-inch sole.
- Casting: 302, supporting the No. 900 identification.
- Frog: Casting number 317.
- Lever cap: Casting number 397.
- Blade: Marked Mohawk Shelburne.
- Dating: Approximately 1931–1944.
Additional observations:
- Black frog.
- Brass waist nuts.
- Round riveted disk.
Our strongest conclusion was that this was an early Type 1 Millers Falls, probably Type 1E or 1F. There is a possibility of mixed or replacement parts, so we cannot guarantee that every component is original to the plane
**I restored this plane for woodworkers, not collectors. I cleaned, de-rusted, painted with Rust Oleum premium enamel paint. The iron was sharpened, the chip breaker tuned to fit tightly and the frog was carefully installed for best fit/performance. The plane was then tested on a 2 X 4. The plane performed well against a stubborn board.
**This is a user restoration, not a historically exact museum tool. When possible and when needed, the finish has been carefully color matched to the original style intended for years of workshop use. We function test before sending out. (Please be careful unboxing as the blades are always sharpened.) Our goal is to preserve the character of vintage tools while returning them to the workbench creating woodworker glitter as intended. If you have any questions about the restoration please message and we will be happy to talk.
**Please review all photos carefully, as they are an important part of the description. We make every effort to accurately describe any flaws, wear, repairs, missing components, and upgrades. We encourage buyers to review the photos and descriptions before purchasing.
** I hope the person who buys it enjoys it as much as I enjoyed restoring it. I'm also attempting to make the plane reasonably priced to be a better value than new planes, per Mr. Kruger's commentary.
**Note: This is a used product and is sold as-is, no returns. So please look carefully at all the pictures as well as reading the description. Best Regards, DaveInGA
