Some old pieces

I cleaned up my bench and had these on top of my stereo. I figured I would snap a photo and share.

I would appreciated any info on the plane if anyone has any to offer. It has a brass adjusting screw and the blade says STANLEY on it with USA under it forming a V shaped logo. There is no number on the plane. The best I could come up with searching was maybe early 1900s based on the logo.

The small pliers I believe are gas line pliers for furnace work and the Ford pliers I was told may be part of a kit that used to come with a car back in the early 1900s. I also have a Model A ignition coil that is made out of wood not pictured.

I like those Ford pliers! I have a lot of the Ford wrenches but no pliers.

I've got a plane like that but anything about it.

It's a stanley #75 bullnose rabbit plane, manufactured between 1879 and 1983. A cheapo version of stanley's more professional models (#90, 92 etc.) Still a good user though but without the screw adjuster for the blade common to the other models. Could be off a bit on current price but worth maybe $20 bucks.

I didn't think it would be worth a lot I just like it. A similar one on EBay was Buy it Now for $30. I am leaning toward the earlier date based on the brass screw and the logo on the blade. I found a web site that described the logos but I didn't know which model it was. Thank you for the number.

Just like the Model A coil I have. I thought it was worth a bunch of money but found out no one wants them because they ****. They are worth about $30 too. It looks cool on my stereo though. LOL

Somewhere I did a post with an old Stanley catalog but you might have to do a search under my name to find it.
