I used to see Stanley model 110 block planes all the time (mostly at antiques shops) and I had an older model with the nickel cap iron and the big adjuster, but I gave it away. I thought I'd keep seeing them, but they just dried up. I also passed up a Bailey #1 thinking I'd get it the next time I was back, and I've never seen again. So- now- I buy when I see.

My boss at the time, back in about 1986 bought a Stanley #1, not in the box, in pretty rough shape. IIRC, he paid about $1000 for it. Most of them are actually in pretty good shape because they were probably made for fathers to give to their sons, a tool that looked just like dad's. Hence, they either got destroyed by the kid, or they did not get used all. They want $1795 for this one. If you like to collect tools then fine, but as an investment it doesn't seem too good to me.
