Plane I.D.?

[Water-Mark]

Another mystery plane thread i'm afraid.
I know it's a bitsa unless record made planes in the states and gave them a multi coloured finish.
The frog is a record and stamped war finish but the sole only has made in USA, no numbers name or size though it's a no 4 size and identical pattern to a stanley.
Any ideas

I often buy broken planes at car boot sales for very little money and make up good ones to sell and often end up with odd bits that get put together then it will be sold off in a job lot of junk tools

Looks like three different planes went to make this one up.

^Agreed
Probably a Stanley base with a Record frog & lever cap.
Would love to see it restored :wink:

Any reason why stanley would have cast soles with out any details on it?.

It's currently in the de rusting bath so i can check it for cracks, it's future is currently unknown.

Hi,
The plane body seems that of a Millers Falls plane.

Ciao

That's exactly it thanks.
Looks like all the parts are accounted for now, though none of them seem to belong together.

This is common - it's why the Stanley dating guide, where possible, uses features on the main casting.
