Standard No. 5 jack plane size (~14\")
Original wood tote and front knob
Bailey-pattern design
Brass depth adjustment wheel
Lakeside script-marked blade (iron)
Corrugated sole
Barn-found condition with visible dust, wear, and surface oxidation that has been cleaned up.
No cracks or structural damage observed to the body

Handles are solid with typical age-related wear. The tote handle was broken and glued -see repair fixture picture, tote and knob lightly sanded and refinished with 2 coats of varnish.
Blade may require additional sharpening for best cutting (works as is)
This is a solid candidate for restoration or use and a nice example of an early 20th-century store-brand plane sourced from a major U.S. maker.
