OK not really a barn find as such, however I am helping with a relocation and was relegated to “cleaning out the garage”
The first Barn Find was this grey plywood box,
so out it comes an gets opened… hmmm looks like a tradies ww Box.
The orange box catches my eye as I recognise it from my school days as a Stanley plane box but a bit on the small side.
Sure enough its a Stanley 78 whatever that may be.
Flipping the lid I see a very small plane, instructions and a few accessories/items wrapped up.
Reading the instructions its some sort of rebate plane.
So I unwrap everything and do a contents check by way of assembly
All items from A to M are there.
Looks like a handy bit of kit if you had a use for it.
(like a blackout and my router didnt work)
Of Stanley in England origin, however Age and Value unknown ,... but I will look it up.
It doesn’t actually do duplex rabbets but has the provision of doing two types/stiles of rabbets, Bull nose and through rabbets.
Standby.
