I picked up a rusty example of the Sargent No. 5607 low-angle, knuckle-joint-cap (sort of) block plane - Sargent's answer to the Stanley No. 65 block plane. It's Craftsman-badged, but clearly made by Sargent; like the below, but with more rust. Descriptive information here.
I already own a No. 65, and I don't own much shop space. Does the Sargent plane have any virtues that would cause me to keep it, or shall I move it along?
