Fathers Day Present...for ME! (a Bedrock 602c!)
« on: June 19, 2012, 10:26:17 AM »
I went to an open house of a Barn that a guy moved from Illinois to California Sunday and the guy had a few old tools he was willing to sell.  He asked if I would give him $50 for the plane below.  After I came to, I gave him $250 and left with a big smile and my very own Bedrock 602C.

That would look nice beside my No.2. Sure you don't want me to store it for you. No storage charge.
Seriously looks very nice; suppose its a type 11, coudn't quite tell from photo.

It is a V logo, but I think that the Bedrocks have a different type study.  I didn't look in Walters yet, but from what I found online, it is a Type 6b.  Same era as Type 11 for non-bedrock plane.
  I still haven't even cleaned it up, but i priced parts for tote (tip broken) and lever cap (chips on edge).  I think I will keep what I have!!Wow, they are PRICEY!!!

Bedrock planes were a line of planes that Stanley offered.  They are nearly identical to the normal line of Stanley planes except for the way the frog attaches to the body of the plane.  Patrick Leach has a good description on his Stanley Blood and Gore page.  Bedrock planes seem to command higher prices to collectors.  I was very luck to stumble on the one I found.  Pretty much the cream of the crop.  I think I could quadruple my money...

Excellent find. Too bad about the damage but a tote should not be too hard to find, aren't they the same as a regular Stanley No 2? I know I have a spare bedrock lever cap somewhere but I'm about 99% sure it's for a bigger size but I will find it and let you know.

I'm not sure if the totes are the same from a #2 to a #602, but I have a #2 that I can compare it to.  I would much rather have the 602 in good shape than the 2.  Let me know on the lever cap.  Maybe we can work something out.  Either way, thanks for looking.

YIKES!!!
  Just spectacular.
  Early for the square siders, isn't it?
Totes are expensive. I would just repair that one if it were mine.

Looks a little like the tote has been deliberately relieved because it obstructed the lateral lever.

Check the handle on this 602.

The lateral does not look bent, but you are right.  It would hit, or be very close to hitting, if the rest of the tote was there.

 Close, but unless its bent, it doesn't drag.
 There is plenty of room to skootch a finger under the blade (if its very long) and catch the lateral.  Otherwise its sitting in plain sight.
