im thinking about having a new year clear out of some tools
included will be
record no5 T complete with side handle and all original .
no box or instructions
record no 735 appears to be complete unmarked and with its instructions and box
the no5 i got really cheap and havnt used it , just sat it in a draw
the 735 i bought when i was keen to start building a "record" collection
so what would be a fair asking price ??
if you need pictures then ill get mailee down to help me post them
regards
mel

I would value the Record #5T as worth about £25 - that's what I paid for a #5 Stay-set in good condition second-hand, and I would value the two planes about the same. The Record #735 is the fibreboard plane which uses throwaway blades for softboard and a re-sharpenable blade for hardboard. As a user, I would say it's worth nothing as the replaceable blades would be unavailable now (although I suppose it might be possible to re-sharpen the throwaway blades a few times). However, a collector might think it's worth something. I've seen them going second-hand at Pennyfarthing Tools. I can't remember how much they were selling them for, but it wasn't much. Cheers  Paul |

Rali planes. A March 2003 price guide I have gives the following depending on condition, original packaging etc (dealer prices I imagine): T5 - £50-100 735 - £15-30 I'd say they're maybe verging on the slightly high; whether any sane person would give as much as £15 for a 735 unless it was absolutely mint in box for a collection I seriously doubt. Cheers, Alf

I think you really need to think about two prices when considering what old tools are worth. Collectors will pay ridiculously high prices for tools that are often not very good, whereas users assess the value more in terms of how the tools will perform. Cheers Paul |

I'll give you £25 for the fibreboard plane if you chuck in the T5 for free - after all, they don't make them any more, so they can't be any good...

i too bought one of those rabot planes too mel. you have to admit he is a great slaeman, but once you fettle the casting they have their uses, especially in the site bag. i have both a rali smoother, and a block plane, they are quite useful again on site for crap wood., or doors  paul |

just like your record t5 i guess ;D actuallt that was before i had had some sharpening lessons and thought well what can i lose  it does work though, and is also re-sharpenable, like all stanley blades i had needed to fettle the zinc casting to ensure it all went together properly, but as i say works well for scrap and rough wood. don't want to wast my lea and perrins or nelsons do i paul |

it does work though, and
