Description

For a complete description and condition grading, please read the full description before purchasing!
Multiple shipping options available at checkout. Free local pickup and it ships worldwide.
This Dunlap block plane is a solid user with no damage. The lever cap is the knuckle joint style which is convenient and stylish. There is no damage to the body and there is good length left on the cutter. I am not sure if the finish is original or not, but is nice. There is a small patch of rust on the sole at the heel but it is surface only with no pitting. 7 inches long with a 1-5/8" wide cutter. The cutter and plane both have Dunlap trademark stamps on them. The cutter is sharp but will need honed for optimal use. I can hone it before shipping it out IF REQUESTED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. This version has a depth adjustment knob in the rear for adjusting the depth of cut and does not have the adjustable throat or a lateral adjustment mechanism. Even power tool woodworking shops can benefit from the versatility of this tool. Ready for your tool chest!

I have a lot of common and some hard-to-find tool parts that are not listed in my store. If you are not able to find what you need, feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. All of my listed items have been inspected and tested to provide the best possible description. In some cases, parts may be brushed off with a soft-bristled brush, such as a paint brush, to remove surface dust or debris for photos. Unless otherwise noted, parts have not been cleaned beyond this. Although most of my items sell very quickly, metal parts may contain a small layer of oil, WD-40, grease, or similar substance to preserve the item and prevent rusting while it is in inventory. ALL inventory is stored in an environment where climate and humidity are controlled to ensure each item is received in the same condition in which it is presented in the listing. Unless otherwise noted in the listing, photos are of the exact item you will receive. Every single item is listed and packaged by myself and I take pride in carefully packaging all items, regardless of purchase amount. Creating a positive experience for you, the buyer, is my top priority.
Positive feedback is left for all buyers as soon as payment is received because by paying for an item you have fulfilled your obligation in the agreement.
When applicable, I try to grade the condition of every tool and part objectively using John Walter's grading system from his "Antique & Collectible Stanley Tools" price guide as described below. This is not necessarily an industry standard for grading, and grading vocabulary will vary from collector to collector since there is some subjectivity involved (i.e. "mint" vs. "near mint"). For these reasons, I will also try to list a description of these grades in each listing in order to clarify the grade given to each item. Please refer to the details below and read the "condition" portion of this listing for the condition grading assigned to this item.
MINT: 100% of original finish remaining. No signs of wear or rust - probably never used. No problems or issues.
EXCELLENT: 95-99% of original finish remaining. Very slight wear with no rust. No problems or issues.
GOOD PLUS: 85-95% of original finish remaining. Used but well maintained. Scuffs, light wear, very little rust.
GOOD: 65-85% of original finish remaining. Moderate wear and/or rust. Minor deficiencies - owner's initials, nicks, etc.
GOOD MINUS: 50-65% of original finish remaining. Has seen hard use, but remains serviceable. Scratches, nicks, dents, cracks, chips, improper replacement parts.
FAIR: 25-50% of original finish remaining. Heavy wear and rust. Some parts are broken, missing, or improper - serious flaws.
POOR: 0-25% of original finish remaining. Pitted, abused, heavily worn. Serious damage and missing major parts.
