Just a bit of reality versus flat out baloney . A corrugated sole is every bit as good as a smooth sole plane. Both make excellent smoothing planes. The corrugated sole was made to reduce the friction on the sole which it does quite well the larger the plane the more evident this becomes. As to a type 19 in my opinion its the best casting Stanley made. Its extremely durable. These are as good as any high dollar user you can buy when their setup correctly. Yes there so called not a collectible well lets not forget that they are anywhere from 65 to 76 years old not exactly a new piece.

I have been selling my planes on for over 20 years and have always strived to put out a excellent plane at a very reasonableprice and back it with a """"100 percent satisfaction guarantee"""". I go through each plane completely which most importantly includes lapping them "correctly"
