Nothing rare or exciting. Just stuff an ape can scuff up and get working.I've come across fedco hand tools never knew they made planes though. What sort of age is your 4 and 4 1/2?
4 is 50s/60s Bailey and what I wanted. the 4 1/2 is a later offering with the composite handles. Only looked briefly but is probably 80s. Still solid and the parts seem to be decent. Thought it was older when I found it. For an initial bid of £7.50 I quickly buried it in the rust pile. Beside the better finds.
Chuck the shite over the good bits and offer for the stack.
Most of the time it's a take this shite out my garage/shed effort. Fine by me.
The fedco is a mystery. There are bits and bobs on it that are blatant clones. The sticker is vintage but everything else bar the handles are shite.
There's zero online. It's still a usable tool but it must of been a limited low (for its day) quantity run. No idea how good the iron is.
