Hi Bill,

No marks on the blade. I was hoping, but nothing.  I agree Sears was not consistent with their branding.

Woodworking Forum / Graphite Platen for Belt Sander
« Last post by Model 12 on February 25, 2025, 02:39:02 AM »
I'm using these Graphite Platens with my Belt Sanders. I got em overlaying the steel platens. They're from PEC Friction Fighters Corporation. Cutting down friction; reducing heat and wear on the interior of the belt.
They got em for 3" and 4" belt sanders. A PSA Graphite Platen is available for Makita 9903 and 9403. PSA stands for Pressure Sensitive Adhesion. I had to look that up. I'd venture to say they'd be OK for other 3 and 4 Inch models. 1st and second photos were provided by Friction Fighters.
They also offer the Graphite Platen in bulk rolls priced by the yard; 3" and 4" width. You need a Steel Strap Washer; 3rd picture. You can get for a Makita. The one for the 4" 9403 fits my Porter Cable 368; #4 picture.
My 4" Makita  9401; picture #5.
Last picture #6; My old Milwaukee 4" 5910

Yadda,

Is the blade marked?  On Stanley shaves, that's often the only indication of the brand.

And Sears may not have been consistent year to year with features like marking the clamping screw.

Looks very similar if not exactly like the Dunlap.  The only real difference is there is no name on the blade screw.

And indeed, I have a Dunlap shave that, if memory serves, looks very similar.  The loop handles would have saved a bit on the cost of the iron - even back then, value engineering was a thing, even if the term didn't exist.

Hello, Yadda . Nice haul! With all of that Craftsman stuff you found , I'm guessing the spokeshave is a Dunlap.

Meteor Mfg, Bus was looking for information for a listing in the Missouri Valley Wrench Club auction that he was putting together. I don't know who the winning bidder on the auction lot was. The original post is several years old.

Ah! Thanks for clarifying. Hopefully it crops back up at some point, it would be killer to have in my collection and displayed in the Meteor Mfg Factory

Saturday's estate sale buy.  Craftsman 11 inch F style adjustable (monkey) wrench (44491), Vise-Grip 7R  Craftsman chain pipe wrench.  Craftsman regular and deepwell sockets, a few Snap-On and New Britain sockets, two vintage church keys, a very rusty spoke shave, and a Swiss made Zyliss multi vise.
