Picked up this little bull nose plane the other day

I got this plane at the flea market last Monday for $15, a Stanley #75 bullnose. It is in real good shape.
Any of your guys have/use this type of plane? Does it work for tenon/cheeks on the neck heel? That is where I thought I might use it.
I'm going to sharpen it scary sharp and fiddle around with setting it up for optimum use practicing on some scraps.

I have the same plane. The best use I've found for it is cleaning up a rabbit. Scary sharp is the key.

I've got one of those -- (somewhere?) gives an idea of how much I use it. Definitely cool looking.
