Vintage Stanley Bailey Pristine No 5-1/4 Jr. Jack Plane Fine Plus & Shop Ready:
$159.88

Original and complete, A Vintage Stanley Bailey No 5-1/4 “Junior Jack” plane. It is approx 11 inches long with a blade width of 1-3/4 inches.

The #5-1/4 model is the same width as the compact number 3 but even longer than the number 4. Schools found this size very useful for training students in woodworking shops.

It is a type 18 manufactured for only just 2 years 1946 and 1947 so about 75 years ago. The type 18 were the only type with diagonal knurrling on the brass depth adjustment nut. And black painted domestic hardwood handles.

This 75 year old plane is pristine and looks amazing for it’s age, certainly lightly used if used at all and was stores many years in a dry protected environment.

Metal bed and all other metal parts are excellent, no cracks breaks, or repairs. Black jappaning finish is great, more than 95 percent. I placed a flat edge along several places on the sole to insure a flat surface and no warping.

The hardwood handles are in very good condition as well no breaks, chips or repairs, not even any regular tool box dings.

The original blade is the notched logo cutter. It is straight pristine and full length has been freshly sharpened with the correct 25 degree bevel. The mating surface of the chip breaker and blade has been flattened for great fit, see photo.

This plane has the important frog adjustment screw and All adjustments move and work smoothly.

I am in upstate South Carolina. I have

recently retired. One of my hobbies has been woodworking, but never had the time to do it as well as would like. A few years ago I became passionate about using vintage hand tools vs. battery or electric powered whenever it made sense

to do so.

Today my passion still

thrives and I enjoy properly oiling/waxing, cleaning or refurbishing, if needed those same vintage woodworking tools.

My goal is to place as many

of these high quality made in the USA vintage hand tools back into

the hands of today’s craftsmen. I would never “part out” a good tool just for the proceeds. If the tool I have acquired is serviceable I will put it into as good of condition it can be and sell to friends or on . All I am trying to

do is receive some compensation for my time and retain enough capital to be able to purchase more tools, some in need of gentle care. Please join me in “Saving the Tools”
