Dear Porch denziens-

I found a few planes at a local flea market today.  Most of them
were Stanley Handymans or Delaps (?).  I did find one that I
haven't run across before.  It was a Corsair #5.  It looked to be
about the same size as a Stanley #5.  It was in good shape, no rust
or pitting.  It also seemed to have been spared from the "coat
of black rust-oleum" fate that most of the other tools in that space
had.  The iron looked good, if really dull.  No chips out of the sole.

Is this a junk plane, or worth a little bit of money?  I was looking
for a user bench plane to start with.  I know you all can't give me
buy/don't buy advice without seeing it, but I'd appreciate any input
on the usability of this tool.

Thanks in advance-
Abe Mathews

Post-christmas drive by- Santa got me sliding down the slope for sure,
brining me some clamps, a Stanley 60 1/2 (flattened now), and enough
cash for a marking gage, a try square, a 1/2" blue-chip chisel, dead-
blow hammer, and a bit of wood (poplar, ash and jabota).  I've been
cutting 1/2"X 1 1/2" mortices in anything that will stand still long
enough to be clamped down for the past few days. :)
