Up for sale is a classic mid-century woodworking tool—an original vintage Craftsman No. C5 Corrugated Jack Hand Plane. Proudly branded with the iconic stamped oval \"CRAFTSMAN\" logo on the lever cap, this heavy-duty 14-inch workshop bench plane was manufactured during the post-WWII era (frequently produced for Sears by premium toolmakers like Millers Falls or Sargent).This model features a premium corrugated sole base plate (grooved bottom design), which historically minimizes surface friction and suction when smoothing raw resinous timber boards.Cast Iron Frame & Sole: The cast iron body structure is stable, completely straight, and free of any visible hairline fractures, weld repairs, or deep structural chips along the mouth opening. The adjustment frog mechanism retains parts of its vintage factory red paint accenting underneath.Surface Finish & Rust: This tool is a genuine estate barn find. The metal surfaces—including the sides, corrugated sole, lever cap, and cutting iron—display a uniform layer of honest vintage storage rust scaling, tarnish, and dark patina. It is an ideal candidate for a classic chemical or wire-wheel tool restoration project.Wooden Tote & Knob: The original hardwood rear handle (tote) and front mushroom knob are fully present and securely mounted. The wood retains a deep, warm vintage gloss finish, showing minor surface scuffs, small handling ticks, and tiny storage marks typical of an active workshop life, but no clean breaks.Buyer pays shipping costs.The item will be securely packaged for delivery. Strictly sold as is, no refunds, exchanges, or returns accepted.
