My Winchester carpenter's square and single bit axe would look pretty much at home alongside that plane.

There is a bit of figure in the "stock" but not much.   

What next Joe Smiley

My only Winchester. A bit homely, but can still get the job done.

As a kid, was envious of the girl who had Winchester roller skates.

In the 1920's Winchester diversified into Winchester Stores similar to Ace Hardware or the Montgomery-Ward Stores, the stores went belly up as a result of the Depression and WWII.Wincheter tools are commonly found at flea markets in PA, my late brother had a nice collection of Winchester products aside from rifles. I believe most of their products were manufactured by others such as Stanley or Record woodworking tools and labelled with the Winchester logo.

I have other identical monkey wrenches that have another maker's name on them. Not Stanley, but Keen Kutter.

Don't want to hijack Joe's thread so no more pics of the high wall.  I'll go hit some yard sales and antique malls and try to find some Winchester tools.
Nice plane Joe.

Here's a picture of the palm rest on Ron Longs first Schuetzen rifle. I made the palm rest. The rifle has not been fired since 2002 at Modesto. It's a hiwall 32-40. 

Steve Garbe put all those little dings on the palm rest when he used the rifle at Tacoma the year he hired on with Cody Ballard.

Westerner,   

Please share some more images of that Hiwall with the "shabby" palmrest.  Looks like some mighty fine rifles stacked in that rack.

Thanks much,

Hayface
