A guy in the neighorbood walked
into the shop the other
day with a plane he wants to sell.
He tells me it is a Bailey #14
"Defiance" It has a BRASS front
knob that looks original to me,
Also a STRAIGHT
rod threaded into the adjusting cam.
"Bailey Tool Co" is
Cast into the front piece that holds down the blade.
There's an old rough place on the side of the rear
handle long since worn smooth.
Seems to be in good shape.
He'll sell it but thinks it is
worth BIG BUCKS. Someone told him
$400 to $800.
I'd like to buy it for resale.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be glad
to hear them.
please contact,
John
