For $1, picked up this new-in-package plane blade. Lord only knows how old it is. When was the last time Marples was in business. Also, looks to be of Canadian origin, because Canada mandates dual-language packaging in French/English. I certainly paid less than what this cost new when it was actually new.
Now I just need to find a Record 77 bull nose shoulder plane, and I’ll have a spare blade. Rather, I could also buy/find one missing an iron and still be set.
yeah record bought maples in 1985, then irwin bought them in the mid nineties, then stanley bought them in 1917 ! there is only a handful of companies that own everybody.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
i remember back on LJ'S someone posted a chart showing the big companies and who was under their umbrella. it was several that owned just about everyone. stanley is huge.
