Type 4. Planes made by Stanley 1874-1884.
  • All of the features of the previous, except:
  • Stupid frog design abandoned, with the old-style re-introduced.
  • The frog receiver is now a broad, rectangular area, with an arched rear (the portion nearest the tote). It is machined flat.
  • Many examples have a foundry number ("73", "71") cast into the bed, between the frog receiver and the tote.
  • Flat head screws now hold the frog in place.
