Rare Vintage # 604 1/2 “later” Bedrock Stanley Plane, Used
Rare Vintage # 604 1/2 “later” Bedrock Stanley Plane, Used
Maker: Stanley Rule & Level Co, New Britain, CT
A scarce “later” Bedrock 10” smoother plane by Stanley. Plane is a Type 9 produced in 1927-1932. This ”later” series of Bedrock planes is characterized by the squared off top of the sides of the plane body, a taller front knob and a major innovation in the construction of the frog that is still utilized today by modern day makers of the original Bailey/Stanley type metal planes. Manufacturer’s trademark on iron consistent for the Type 7-10 planes produced from 1927 until the start of WW II. Orange painted “STANLEY” cast into lever cap as seen in Type 9-12 lever caps. This lever cap does not have the kidney shape bolt hole seen in the 10-12 types which dates it as a Type 9. This particular example reflects average wear from original use with some staining on sides and sole but no cracks or chips throughout the piece. About 80% of the original Japanning is intact. Fully functional – iron needs sharpening/honing.
Price: $350 OBO
