Ditch,
There is a place in Hulls Cove, Maine just north of Bar Harbor, called The Tool Barn.
Loads of antique tools.
Every time I have been there I have seen an old Floor plane.
It is a massively heavy plane, boat-shaped, about 10" long and 2-1/2" to 3" wide.
It has a cherry pole handle with two "ells" towards the top.
All I can think of is that the guy who used it must have had arms like a freakin telephone pole!!!
I recall that he wants 450$ for it.
It would make a nifty souvenir for a floor guy.

T,
Thanks, I'll find 'em. I'm opening a showroom this winter and want to fill it with old hardwood floor mechanics and finishing tools.Ditch
