B57-509 BENCH PLANE. Union Mfg. No. X4-1/4C. The X signifies Carleton's vertical post adjustment, patented in 1903. Stanley offered the No. 4 and 4-1/2, Union went them two better by adding the 4-1/4 (2-1/8" cutter) and the 4-3/8 (2-1/4"). Why Union thought an extra 1/8" in cutter width was worth adding a whole new model with its own casting is unclear; it may help explain why Stanley is still around and Union isn't. Tight split in tote but otherwise clean wood and metal, original marked cutter, corrugated sole. Good 150-300 **All bids must be placed by end of day Friday, October 30, 2020.
