I've bought an old....old plane..(pictures) advice needed

[Graham Orm]

Oh dear, I'm in danger of becoming a tackle tart!
Lateral adjustment lever says STANLEY PAT 724 88 Can anyone tell me if the year of make is indicated here?
I would also like to know what you think it's worth.

nice, well its got a low front knob and i bet with out a raised ring, and the old style lever cap and key hole design, i dont know about pat date but would say it about 100yr old, i had a 4c that was very similar.

VANN will be able to tell you,,,,

Hi Graham,
According to this link, and assuming your plane is a Stanley No 7, then you have a plane somewhere around 120 years old. I think.

Yes it's a No.7 Thanks guys so far. You are confirming what the seller said it was. Any idea of a value?

Sorry, cant help you with that one...

you sound like the old me lol! umm i would say based on condition and the average ebay prices ect that your looking at about £75-£150

Americans would go crazy for it im use, but being a brit i stand by record tools (the old ones not the chinese)

come on then what you pay??

you should type it on the dating website, i would have a guess and say its a type 8.

because on the front knob and tote not having a raised ring or bed they are prone to splitting or cracking. more a collectors piece than a user, (im not saying it wouldnt work btw)

I'm planning on using it to be honest TT. Will DM you with cost.

i dont blame you as it is a good looking tool and i hope it serves you well, give it a sharpen and show me a shaving you know you want to,

i picked up a near mint or new record no8 for £50 the other day and it dates to about the 50's
i have a stanley sweetheart no7 with pat dates that i just look at

This is a very beauty and seems in very good conditions.
I have got some Stanley planes like yours and they are workhorses. I use them frequently and never had problems with the knob ring lack.
Iron, if original, is also of good quality.
Enjoy it

Look up "Stanley Trademarks" - Bob Kaune. Sorry, I've no idea how to post the link.

I've not had a problem with knob ring lack, either.
Sorry, I'll get my coat....

Thanks guys.

Phil, great site thanks for the link, still browsing.

I've always found this "Mega Chart" quite useful as an exhaustive tool for plane daing as it covers all the variations of lever caps, yoke adjustment, pat dates etc.

It's been posted on here before I think.

Looks like a type 8 1899-1902 but you need to look at the frog and casting marks to be as accurate as type studies can be.
