No. 5 is size- $45. for one without frog and blade. I bet you can get a complete one for that or maybe less. PM brink and ask him. He is better at hand tools

No. 5 is a jack plane. It's a good type of plane to get if you are starting to use planes or need an all purpose plane. For $45 you should be able to find one in much better condition without missing parts. I can look around if you like.

The no. 5's look ok, but you'd have to buy the lever cap, blade, and chip breaker, probably another $30-$75 each depending on what type of blade. I don't think they're vintage, probably made between the 1950's and 1970's.

The 190 rabbet plane, someone cut it in half. Should look like this 78.

Yeah, 45.00 each for the No. 5's seems a little steep, I've bought several complete ones from the 40's and 50's in usable condition for about half that in my area. I'm sure if you want one I could find another one for you.
