Stanley Planes Type 1: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 00:42, 19 January 2020

Rosewood knob is shaped like a hot air balloon, and has a distinct bead turned into its base.
The brass depth adjustment nut is solid (sometimes of a two-piece construction), with “BAILEY, WOODS & CO.” “BOSTON” “PATENTED” “AUG. 31, 1858, AUG. 6, 1867” stamped into it. Only the lower portion of the name “WOODS” is visible. The nut has a right-hand thread.
“L. BAILEY’S” “PATENT” “DEC. 24, 1867” is stamped on the top of the iron and cap iron.
The back of the lever cap is solid and has a banjo-shaped spring.
The frog has a rounded back (the top of it where it faces the (tote)). It is held into place by screws with round heads.
The bottom casting’s receiver for the frog is shaped like the letter “I”.
The size of the plane (stock #, e.g. #4, #6, etc.) is incised into the underside of the frog and the lever cap. This isn’t listed in the book I reference, but every example of these early planes I’ve examined has it.
