That there looks about the size of prolly a #3 i'd bet ... if it's around 9" long, that'd be a #4 ... less'd be a #3 ... i'm bettin' on the #3. Looks like it could clean up nicely  That 2nd one looks pretty near #4 sized. The plastic handles mean it's a bit newer than the real vintage gold ... but they can still be made into perfectly useful planes. The castings are a little thinner than the old ones, but overall with judicious tuning and a SHARP blade, you will have a user for sure. |

I'm thinkin the first is about a #3 Dunlop & the second is about a #4 Stanley or Sears. I've got the #3 version of that one, I think - plastic tote or no plastic tote, it's still the most comfortable one I own... fits my hand REALLY NICELY. Needs to have the depth adjuster sorted out, though - that little stirrup goes in FRONT of the knob instead of behind it.
Nice finds! They're - like - FIND finds, as in "free", or like yard-sale finds?

there all 3 9 inches long In that case, they're all about #4s, just a little different design for each. Different makers. |

That's the BEST sort of find! Now... especially for that first one... you do know about electrolysis for rust removal, right? |
