A scarce “early” Bedrock series 14” heavy jack plane by Stanley. Plane is a Type 4 produced from 1908-1910. The “early” series of Bedrock planes is characterized by the rounded top of the sides of the plane body, a smaller front knob and the early type of frog used in these planes. April 1995 patent cast into body behind rear tote. Manufacturer’s trademark on iron consistent for Type 4/5 planes (1900-1910). Lever cap is a three line Stanley, R.&L.
