Stanley No. 3's

[coolford]

Here are the seven Stanley No. 3's and an oddball that I recently put back together.  Four are types I didn't have and they are correct to type so I will keep them.  The other three Stanley's have some minor problems and thus are just users which I will sell or give away.  The oddball looks just like a Stanley, but is not.  This finishes the Stanley's in the 900 pounds of planes and parts I bought a few years ago, and I don't plan to assemble anymore planes out of the lot.  Still have a couple of hundred pounds of bodies and parts, but most good stuff is gone.  But here and there are some good items and thus I will check if someone needs something.  For example there are three old Stanley frogs that date to 1900 but no planes to go with them.

If in that lot you have short rods (4-3/4") for a Type 4
Stanley No. 45 (pre depth adjustment), I would be interested in same.
Also cutters for that 45; the cutters for pre-depth adjustment had no nicks in side
When I got back to my shop with the plane and started clean-up that is how
I realized that I had a bit of a "Frankenplane" situation. The cutters that came with the 45
(except for one that was in the plane) had the nicks. Think that was only the 2nd 45
I had seen in the wild. Got  caught up in making the purchase and got away from cool
and deliberate evaluation.

I have 2 No. 3s
One has a big number 16 stamped in side
Bench or station in a woodworking class at school I guess
I like both of them; been able to get thin shavings with both planes
even with my primitive restore and sharpening skills.

Sorry, MikeH none of my parts are for a Stanley #45.  Everything is for flat bottom bench planes. I have a #45, so I know what you are needing.

I only started collecting types after I bought my 900 lb. mess of parts.  Two of the #3's in the lot shown are war production with the thick walls and with the composition adjusting knob.  One of them has a nonadjustable frog and the other has an adjustable one.
