My grandfather was a carpenter, and my dad was his young apprentice before WWII. I started woodworking some 30 years ago, and have been using some of my father's tools ever since. These 2 bench planes are my favorites - a No.5 that I have sharpened as a jack, and a No. 6 that sees service as a jointer sometimes.
I'm not sure if my father inherited these from his father, or if he bought them himself. Both appear to be type 11's with the small aduster knob and 3 patent dates. The lever caps are different but I may have replaced the one on the #6 years ago. I know the iron is not original.
Just thought I'd share...
