Stanley 90 bullnose rabbet plane

offered 1898 - 1969

value A$ 120

4"  long with   1"  cutter

Note: Parts from the 90 are interchangeable with the No 93 (base, cutter) but NOT with the 92.

Problems: chipped mouth, chipped edges where the top and the bottom part meet and most importantly: check the internal clamp that holds the blade. The pointy end also acts as a chip breaker. The tip is often fixed or broken off altogether. See also # 92.

4"  long with   1"  cutter

Adjustable bullnose plane.

This plane is rare to very rare but keep looking - when found at a flea market or in an antique shop they are usually priced like a 90! Lucky for us, eBay won't change the odds in favour of the sellers all that much. This plane simply doesn't show up to set a precedent. (No, I don't think this little note will make a difference, either!)
