Type 18. Planes made by Stanley 1946-1947.

• All of the features of the previous, except:
• Brass adjusting nuts are re-introduced, and have diagonal knurling on them.
• Hardwood handles painted black. I've seen black handles on what are normally considered war production planes.
• Castings are lighter, like those of the pre-war years.
