Just brought home this..
[attachment=50434]
The base casting is Brass. Plane is a No. 5-1/4 size...Tried a magnet all over the base casting...nada. Appears to be painted Solid Brass
Brand name? AMT. Length? 11"....width? 2-1/4" Iron is 1-3/4" wide.
Price? $15.......
Interesting.....never thought I'd need Brasso to clean up a planes base casting.

AMT, American Machine and Tool, IIRC, Royersford, PA. Don't remember much about their handtools, except made of brass and don't sell for much. Not terribly old, 60's or 70's I think. Company also sold stationary power tools, but without motors. This was more in the 80's.
Anyone know anything more or I'm off, please post/correct me.
