THIS PLANE DOES HAVE THE SWING-ARM BUT WILL NOT BREAK LOOSE. I DO NOT WANT TO FORCE IT. LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE RUST HOLDING IT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TYPE WITH THE UNSUPPORTED SWING-OUT CUTTER. THE TOTE LOOKS PRETTY BAD UP CLOSE WITH THE PATENTED PHOTO BUT IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. THE FRONT KNOB AND THE BLADE ARE MISSING BUT THERE WAS A KNOB WITH SCREW AND A BLADE IN THE BOX THAT THIS PLANE WAS IN. THE KNOB SCREWED IN BUT WILL NOT TIGHTEN UP AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ONE PHOTO. THERE MAY BE SOMETHING IN THE SCREW HOLE THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT. ALSO THE BLADE AREA HAS A LITTLE RUST IN IT.  ALL BRASS KNOBS AND WING NUTS ARE IN WORKING CONDITION. THIS WAS MANUFACTURED BY STANLEY RULE AND LEVEL COMPANY ONLY IN LATE 1872. THESE PLANES WERE VERY INEFFECTIVE AND WERE QUICKLY REPLACED WITH A VERSION THAT HAD A SLIDING SUPPORT BEHIND THE ARM. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN IMPROVEMENT , BUT STANLEY QUICKLY REMOVED IT FROM THE MARKET MAKING DORN'S ONE OF THE RAREST STANLEY PLANES. CHECK THE PHOTOS AND BID BY THEM. THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD "AS IS". BUYER WILL PAY FOR  EXPRESS SHIPPING, INSURANCE AND HAVING THE ITEM REGISTERED. Place a Bid!
