Just picked up this No 05 off ebay and don't mind mentioning that because I was the only bidder. It's wood is sound and is complete as far as being all there. It's rusty but you'll have that when you store your planes in a bucket of salt water as the previous owner(s) must have done with this one. Ahem, or so it seems anyway. Under the rust is a beautiful plane wanting to come out and get back in service. I'll post enough clues that hopefully someone may be able to identify this old girl. There are no casting marks except the No 05 on the toe. The lateral adjuster is one piece and is the "twisted rudder" style. The frog is non adjustable aside from the slotted base. The bed is 14 1/16" long and is 2 5/16" wide. The iron is interesting as it is very thick at the business end and quite thin at the top. I don't see anything on the iron or chipbreaker as far as maker's marks. That may change when I get it apart because as you can see, the iron is mounted backwards. Here's the pictures, and thanks for looking. Dave
