That's an old Buck fantail indeed...but I have had it for years and it has that rough-around-the-edges but effective Stanley style steel in it so it holds an edge pretty well. THIS was my prize for the next few months! I found all of this this morning at the flea market-for...drum roll....80 dollars. Porter Cable detail sander in the case with all acessories, 14 Henry Taylor and turn-of-the-century Acorn chisels, a hand-turned Catalpa wood mallet, an entire box of very, very expensive Swedish ship/net riggers tools, books on inlay, furniture joinery, the zen and nature of the craftsman, vintage hand tools, etc. Two of the books alone have 40.00 jacket prices. Happy Birthday To Me!
