Planes made by Stanley 1899-1902.

Distinguishing Features (changes from previous type in bold)

  • Frog receiver has two shallow grooves, parallel to the plane’s sides, cast into it. The screw holes are located in the grooves.
  • Bailey’s name and patent dates eliminated from the brass adjustment nut and cap iron.
  • Lateral adjustment lever: “7-24-88” is the only patent date
  • “S” casting marks eliminated, and replaced with “B”, another foundry mark.
  • Rosewood knob is shaped like a hot air balloon.
  • The back of the lever cap is recessed.
  • Flat head screws now hold the frog in place.
  • 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.
  • “STANLEY” “PAT. AP’L 19, 92” (in two lines) stamped on the iron. The original type study doesn’t mention this, but some of these irons can be found with just *“STANLEY” and not the patent date.
  • The brass adjusting nut now has a left-hand thread.
