The problem with Stanley planes is that there were so many made for so long a time that they literally every where you look.
I wouldn't let it go as it would be short money, rather have it than not

I hear what you're saying Ed, I have several sizes. One in particular is a Craftsman made by Millers Falls, looks like it just came out of the box. Near perfect condition. I do have a few Stanleys and a few other Millers Falls. Most are 12' & 14" but I have one 18" or maybe a 20". They are all in nice condition with the exception of one. I just don't have the need for them, or the shop to use them in any more. I will keep the long one and one of the others.
