Type 7. Planes made by Stanley 1893-1899.
  • All of the features of the previous, except:
  • Bailey's name and patent dates eliminated from the brass adjustment nut and cap iron.
  • The number designation, cast into the toe ("No 4", etc.), is now spaced farther apart; i.e. "No" is about 1" from "4", whereas the earlier models had the two right next to each other.
  • Most examples have the letter "S" cast into the frog, lever cap, and/or bed. This is likely the mark of the Sessions Foundry, who contracted with Stanley to produce their castings.
