Herewe have a clean Antique UNION MFG. CO. No. 7C Corrugated Bottom Jointer Plane, (Mfg. by STANLEY). The Union Mfg. Co. New Britain, CT incorporated in 1866 andmanufactured multiple types of iron castings, etc. They became a manufacturer of planes in 1920when they bought the Derby Plane Co. and were in the 'plane business' from1900-1920. In 1920 Stanley bought theplane portion of Union Mfg. and sold their manufactured planes that were very, very similar to Stanl...ey patented design. Union plane inventory (and Union planes mfg. by Stanley) were lastadvertised by Stanley in 1942. Stanleyconsidered Union planes to be of a very good quality. This example is one of the earliest types with the Union name and number behind the tote and the low type knob with beaded bottom. There are no cracks in this wood knob. The wood tote has no cracks or breaks but is missing a sliver off of the right side of the tote spur. (see pics). All moving parts operate smoothly. Japanning is approx. 80-85%. The cutter adjusting knob is the small brass version and has only a couple of pliers nicks. The body, sole and mouth are in Very Good condition. The lever cap is the 'straight-shaped' slot version. The original cutting iron has the Union maker info. and is sharp but should be touched up before use.. There are no breaks or repairs in the metal parts of the plane. No ownersmarks. Very Heavy plane. I offer FREE local pickup !Note: Shipping cost quote isfor PA to CA. If you live closer to me in PA shipping should be less.** Please remember to leave Feedback. I will gladly reciprocate. :-)
