Nice. Got mine from a house clearance - managed to get a massive bahco adjustable, a tiny set of knipex nail pullers, that little plane and a nice junior hacksaw with a packet of blades that I’m still working my way through over half a decade later. Funny how some of the handiest tools come from strange places.
Nef-
I used to look in the back of the local paper for people selling lots of tools. Met some 'interesting' people and saw some pretty weird places doing that. I was looking at the old wooden moulding planes on eBay the other day and couldn't bring myself to pay the money people are asking for sets. There are a couple of shapes I could use for making small amounts of moulding but they rarely come up for sale.

I picked mine up years ago at one of the Sandown tool shows. The electricians one would have been on this week normally. Alway a good opportunity to pick up some handy little tools.
