Hello this Stanley Bailey’s 9 3/4 tail handle block plane is in excellent condition. I don’t believe the plane has ever been cleaned on as the original pre-notch cast iron tail handle L Bailey’s pat on the cutting iron very clean mouth has never been filed closes all the way nice original Japanning. The Rosewood ball appears to have a very tight crack otherwise beautiful grain patterns throughout. If you need more pictures, feel free to ask I’d be more than happy to send them. Buy with confidence and knowing that your purchase will be professionally packaged shipped in a new box. Thanks for looking
