My son and I hit a local swap meet weekly, last Saturday I saw a set of swiss chisels for$20 I passed on them as I have many chisels. This past Saturday, my son comes walking up to me and hands me what looks like a Stanley #3 and says look what I found, a 10 1/2 I asked how much did you have to give, he said $9 I look at it closer and sure enough a nice Stanley sweetheart plane a small amount of pitting on one side due to someone storing it on its side. (which likely saved the sole) now he has to decide whether to keep it or make $100 putting it on ebay. The secret is go out as often as you can. the fun is in the hunt.
