**WEN Model 930 Electric Hand Plane**
This is a vintage electric hand plane manufactured by WEN Products Inc. of Chicago, Illinois. The tool features a sturdy cast aluminum body with black painted accents and is rated for 120V AC, 50/60 cycle operation at 6 amps. The nameplate clearly identifies it as Model 930 with UL certification. The plane includes the original cord and appears to retain its factory-installed blade assembly.
The tool shows typical wear consistent with moderate use, including surface scratches, paint loss on high-contact areas, and general patina on the aluminum housing. The electrical cord appears intact, and the adjustment mechanisms seem functional, though operational testing would be required to verify motor condition. The base plate shows normal wear patterns from wood contact.
Based on the styling, construction materials, and UL marking format, this plane likely dates from the 1960s-1970s era when WEN was producing quality power tools for the home workshop market. The robust construction and vintage WEN branding make this a collectible piece for tool enthusiasts. Estimated dimensions appear to be approximately 10-12 inches in length. In current condition, estimated value ranges from $40-80 depending on operational status and local market demand for vintage WEN tools.
