I take quick look at my other English made Stanley, no 10. Frog seating was completely different. No help from that, but there was also marked number one under the rear handle. With that I got quite a good gues for it age. It have original box and inside of that short booklet. There is marked...

Time Tested Tools got that some kind of draft of typing of English planes. http://www.timetestedtools.net/2016/02/ ... udy-draft/ Sure, I can't know how reliable is that. But if that is somewhere close to reality, it could be interesting to see what kind of casting markings are at planes with...

I looked are there any casting markings. In body, there are marked number 1 under the rear handle. If I am right, Qualcast have Q and something? Or in Records supposed to be. In frog there are marking at frontface, just under yoke. There are four letters, FFSB and at center of those are number...

Okei, now I got those. Yes, I know there are no good source of type study of those. That's why I am interested to hear, if someone had same kind of features. In USA types that Y-shaped frog seating is dated to type 19 (1948-1961). So I was thinking was British taking this feature right away to...

Have you good knowledge of Stanley planes which are made during or right after the war? I got this English made Stanley no 5. Adjusting wheel is like USA made type 17. Castings seems to be quite thick. But one thing caught my eyes. Base under the frog. That is Y-shaped casting, which was not...

So they made model 82 again at 60's at special anniversary model. Sound quite interesting. At 60's or 70's catalogues does not had that model anymore, so regular profuction was ended maybe at 50's.

Now i got it working again...

It take quite a lot time to start to cleaning this, but now it's done. Only sharpening is leff. Have you any better knowledge, when Spearior 82's were made? I found one saw maintenance quide from 1953 and there were not anymore 82. So maybe those were made between 1930 to start of 1950. I...

Yes, I have dig little bit those before. Certain is that it's from 50's. At 1965 and after irons are delivered at plastic case. And that trade label are used before 1956. But this label is in instructions, there are any at plane itself. And there are also said this kind of box was replaced at...

Yeah, at fast looking, I don't noticed that nothing or anything big is missing. I have looked those already. Good sites. I have coulpe of Records before and always it's nice to look little bit planes history. It would be interesting to look some catalogs from -49 to end of 50's. Plane is...

Hi, I get this kind of Record 405 lately. Quite nice find. It has been one old woodworker at 30 years. He was kept it quite good condition. Is there any type study of those 405's? Age little bit interests me. Booklet copyright was printed at 1949. And where I could find Record plane...

Just curious, is there any good online source to Stanley product catalogs? Or that Chapman as well. This time I am interested at drill for specific. I got two Stanleys. Mayby those 803, twin pinion drills. And oneday I was watching Stanley 748A and noticed that I don't know any good Stanley...

Many thanks to you. I don't know that webpage. Looks quite interesting...... -TR

Old thread, but lets continue to this anyway. I got one at those No 735 yesterday. Need little bit cleaning but looks good still. Now I am little bit interested at this model history. I could find it was made 1955 to 1980. That tradelabel was used before 1956. And what woke my interest up was...

Yes it is.
