Description
This is an early Stanley 140 skewed rabbet and block plane. It is missing the side plate which is shame as otherwise it is in excellent order. With B casting on the sole and Rule and Level on the original iron we date this as 1899-1902. The cap is marked with an S casting mark, so not sure whether that means it is an earlier version or as Stanley often did, it was an older part used on new stock. Hasn’t been touched so would benefit from a clean and sharpen.
