32762 Aaron Ionta <Aaron.ionta@i...> Dec-22-1997 Heavy castings & #7

Hello GG's

A very Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!

My wife and I decided to swap a few of our larger gifts last night
so we wouldn't have to drag them to Denver and back.

!! I got a very clean #7!! it is a Wards master and looks to be Stanley
made ( I compared it to one of my Baileys and it looks very similar )

It has a Stanley Lever cap (mis-match)

the reason fo rthis note however... the casting is very thick and it is
also pretty inconsistant. And I thought that maybee it is one of those
War years planes when Stanley's QC was not quite so good.

here are the measurements that I took

the left  side is 1/8 thick
the right side is 5/32
the sole at the heel is  1/4  thick
the sole at the toe  is  5/32

Anyways were these differences par for the day or have I gotten hold of
a particularly odd example.

Aaron Ionta who can't wait to see which of the other toys I picked out
end up in my X-mass pile !   Thanks Wayne
