Stanley No. 90

[cabinetman]

I had been looking for a small shoulder/bullnose plane back in the late 70's and looked around at many garage sales and flea markets, but never saw one. I broke down and purchased new a Stanley No, 90 that cost then around $75. I think they are over $100 now. It was expensive to me then, but I found out how fine this little plane really was. It's been made since 1898 and a favorite among my specialty planes. Very easy to use and very exact. The top comes off to make it into a chisel plane. It's only 4 1/2" long and a 1" wide iron. It's a heavy little sucker for its small size, and fits the hand comfortably. If anyone here has one or can comment on this little jewel I'd like to hear about it.

That's what that is! I actually have one of those, but didn't know what it was (could not find any markings other than the 90). Have not had a chance to use it much, but knowing what it is I will certainly hold it dear. Better learn how to properly tune it.

Thanks for posting the photos, without those I might never have found out what I had.
