I am in need of a nice low angle block plane for use in my shop and am willing to trade a Stanley #3 bench plane in very nice shape. If there is any interest please let me know.

I believe I would consider trading it for a low angle block plane in similar repair. Nice one!!

Sorry you haven't got any serious traders yet.

Maybe get a block on e-bay etc. and keep the Stanley for rough planing with a lot of camber in the blade.

Yeah, might have to do that. I just thought that there may some folks out there like me that have planes sitting around collecting dust that might want to trade. Thanks.

You have a type 20 made between 62' -67' . Sorry to say, it is not a rare or very desireable plane to collectors. It can be tuned up some and be a "fair" user. Personally, I would pass on it in a flea market.

So finding a trade is going to be tough. I suggest flea markets, but read up on planes first and then go out and find the "gold".

Thanks for the info! Like I told Roc I thought someone may want to trade a plane they have sitting around. I hardly every pick this plane up to use it just sits in the rack. Thanks anyhow.
