Inherited several planes a while back and finally getting off my butt to clean / sharpen them. Got one I can't find on the WWW. It is very long 21 1/4" and has "Fulton" in raised letters on the back and 34 in raised numbers on the front. Any one know about such?? It is cast Iron with wood handles. The bottom is ribbed too.

I have used it once when I got a Walnut round from a local tree trimming service. Used it to flatten and shorten till I could "resaw" it on my band saw.

Thanks

Hi Hubert,

Why don't you post some pics of it, it'll help some of the experts to identify it quicker.

Pretty standard looking plane. Just that it was made by Fulton.

Hubert,
I found this on sawmillcreek.com:

"Sargent manufactured planes for Sears Roebuck in the 1930s and 40s under three brand names: Fulton (low price), Dunlap (middle price), and Craftsman (high price)."

Hi Hubert

If it were Stanley it would be a joint-er plane no 7 with a 2 1/2 " blade used for shooting the edge of boards to get them straight before gluing together some had fluted soles to them hope this may help a little

Hey great. Thanks for the good information. Might just get me into the old tools game. Haa Haa. I didn't want to "Clean up" a real antique and "ruin" the value. I did want to make a usable tool so it is full speed ahead tuning up.
